Late last year, Jake Dahn wrote about wanting a local design team to work with and around on different projects.

I've been following Tina Roth Eisenberg's blog over at Swiss Miss for a bit now and I've been fairly impressed. What I didn't know until today was that she shares her design studio with several other awesome people, and she's has a desk open for rent. If I were in NYC, I'd jump at that opportunity.

For $500 a month you get a kitchen with fridge, water and coffee maker, laser printer, A/C, awesome GENEVA stereo, a conference table and a HUGE ideapaint dry erase wall. We all believe in a non-clutter minimalist environment and are respectful of each others space.

While they're all just working at the same office space for their own respective projects, I think that a similar office situation would work well for a local development group. Once or twice a month, the office would arrange a few hours to work on a fun, open/group sourced project together.
