Opinion # 1. Mikhail Well, this co-working was really special for me and I believe for all of us 'cause of fascinating atmosphere we've managed to create, new places we've visited and worked at and great people gathered in order to have some productive collaborative work in Helsinki.

This trip not only resulted in finished project tasks and a lot of topics discussed, but also in close acquaintance of all participants. So, great job, guys!

We must repeat it!

summing up co-working was unusual due to only english speaking rule, but inspiring
summing up it was emotionally satisfying and extremely relaxing
THE SHOW MUST GO ON with gained experience
