Just to again add my understanding here: Coworking spaces are usually not activity specific, that is the point, they are a mix of folks doing whatever it is they do, programming, design, etc. office=graphics_design + coworking=yes does not make sense in the context of actual co-working spaces. that is much closer to describing how some graphic design firm is doing its office layout. Yes, there might be some edge cases where a co-working space is designed specifically for a particular trade like woodworking or metal work, but as mentioned those are usually maker spaces. But any coworking space that supports office work would usually support any type of office work and would not say "only accountants can cowork here" cheers blake -- ---------------------------------------------------- Blake Girardot OSM Wiki - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot HOTOSM Member - https://hotosm.org/users/blake_girardot skype: jblakegirardot Live OSM Mapper-Support channel - https://hotosm-slack.herokuapp.com/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
