16 (10ft) pews and 1 (12ft) pew? These folks have extras they don't need: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/zip/4795888787.html Imagine putting them on wheels... we could push them aside around the room for a two-row deep circle of seating around the big open floor.

bookscanner cameras

by Jake

I have acquired two Canon SD600 digital cameras for a bookscanner for sudoroom. these cameras are good for a bookscanner because they can run chdk and thus be set to operate very cooperatively with a bookscanner. plus they are good cameras. the reason there are two is because a good bookscanner photographs both left and right pages at the same time. The user flips the page, lowers the glass panels (which flatten the pages) and presses a single shutter button. if anyone here wants to make a bookscanner, and someone is willing to bottomline the project (not me) i will hand over the cameras. -jake

Sunday's Ferguson Response Catalyst Project event - call for help!

by Stephen Novotny

Dear all, What will the Omni do in response and in support of the BlackLivesMatter movement? I've had a few conversations around this question the over the last couple weeks and I imagine others have as well. This coming Sunday (Dec. 14th), we'll be hosting Catalyst Project <http://collectiveliberation.org/> in the Ballroom for an event titled "Black Liberation and White Anti-Racism in the Time of Ferguson." They've sent out an invite <http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=2867d847f3&id=072f757718> to the public and through their own networks, which has been viewed by more than 23,000 people. Over the past week I've met people who've been receiving flyers to the event during the marches through Berkeley and Oakland, which leads me to believe there will be *a lot* of people here, a lot of *new* people from our wider community. I'm helping to bottom-line this event and could really use your help! 1. Reply to this thread if you are down to help steward our space and include your phone # (if you feel comfortable, send privately, etc.) as I want to be certain we are able to generously host all the folks in our community who will be coming to our space to respond to recent events 2. They'd like amplified sound and I'm not 100% certain what our current situation is - where is our sound system? do we have one adequate for this event? and can someone volunteer to run sound? 3. What has been the latest count of chairs at the Omni? do we need to get more chairs? with love st

Re: [sudo-discuss] Several bikes have been stolen from outside of the Omni

by Jake

I think we should put a permanent sign on the entry door that says "Bikes left outside may be stolen. Cars parked nearby may have windows broken." does anyone object? -jake On Tue Dec 9 Tracy Jacobs wrote: Maybe no one else drives, but I also got my window smashed last time I was parked by Omni, right next to that big storage facility. FYI Tracy On Dec 9, 2014, at 6:30 PM, niki <niki.shelley at gmail.com> wrote: Several bikes have been stolen from outside of the Omni Hopefully we can install some better lighting outside at some point and that will be helpful but in the meantime, please spread the word!
