My priority list would be: beanbags, large flat tables that allows for pair programming, non distracting but ever present ambient music, easy to reach power outlets, good wifi signal, cool art and space decorations(hey you are at 798 after all =)

p.s I just moved to Beijing this year, is running my own start up out of an incubator on the west side, and loves 798. So pretty excited to read about this!

welcome to the community, I'm a new Beijing resident myself and was pretty surprised to find that there isn't a well established hacker community here there's diverse groups (BLUG, GTUG, Beijing Coworking, etc.) but there isn't a unifying space for them all. Thus, this was born.

no bean-bags yet, however, we do have two large chairs which are replicas of Michelangelo's David's nose :), but we will certainly have nice space, tables, wifi, etc.

What incubator are you with? We're always interested in who else is in the startup space, to see if there's any opportunity for 双赢 win-win, or at least a meeting.

Great idea! 798 is certainly a good place thematically, although transportation wise it's not as accessible as some other sites...? Still, one could do a lot worse :)

Had the pleasure of living in Beijing for a few months last year, hope to be back again soon. Although back on the east coast now, would love to stay in the loop...

It's called Innovation Works, the place is pretty cool but not comparable to SV offices =P
