Coworking is not a new concept, but it's finally starting to take hold in Hawaii. Coworking spaces should foster collaboration, community, sustainability, openness, and accessibility. In this Techspotting, we touch on the history and variations of coworking, including "hackerspace," "jelly" and "coffice," and offer an update on initiatives underway in Honolulu. Among them, "HiCapacity" (http://www.hicapacity.org), "The Box Jelly" at Fishcake (http://www.theboxjelly.com), and an upcoming coworking space backed by Kamehameha Schools, both in Kakaako.
