In a way the student participants in our ONSchallenge are free-lancing. They just need access to a lab and a local supervisor open to the idea. Our last student to join, David, didn't seem to have a problem getting access: http://onschallenge.wikispaces.com/student... - Jean-Claude Bradley

Thanks Jean-Claude - I forgot about that (was not thinking about the students when I wrote this). - Bora Zivkovic

Thanks a lot Bora. After reading your post I finally understood that I shouldn't resist the idea of physical coworking space. :) - Pawel Szczesny

For all but the most extreme loners, a physical space with people is important for any work. The point is having freedom in that space - a non-hierarchical place where you can bring your own ideas and your own work, not being told from up above what to do (and clock in and out every day). - Bora Zivkovic

Which is why it is better to work at a coworking place than in your company's HQ where the CEO also has an office. - Bora Zivkovic

Interesting - something like a Science Hostel in Germany: http://www.dagstuhl.de/en... - Bora Zivkovic
