Here they can talk about their project in a friendly and informal environment where no one will criticism them and where they can practice their pitch. I have been surprised how many ideas have been forthcoming in Cardiff.\u201d<br \/>\nThe projects being presented at tonight\u2019s meeting include a social media platform for people working from home who want to share coaching tips and technological updates, usually available in an office, and a tool library, where from people could borrow gardening and building work tools for the time they need.<br \/>\nThe meeting will take place in the offices of <a href=\"confused.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Confused.com<\/a>, on Greyfriars Road, from 5.30pm.
