I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland

by jacques revera

I would like to talk with any folks who can collaborate or help establishing a book scanner in Oakland. I am talking about a complete system, finished, effective and quick. I myself need to be able to scan quantities of books several times a month easily. I cannot afford the total cost maybe $1500 of the base kit, cameras(aprox $100 per) and computer hardware of full fledged system recommended by http://www.diybookscanner.org https://store.diybookscanner.org/collections/frontpage/ products/archivist-quill-book-scanner-base-kit There are many DIY project designs out there and software great to tinker with. But, what I am interested in is quickly completing setting up a fast stable system(or getting one donated or purchased) - and working with the projects and issues that begin at that point: starting with scanning lots of books. I have a huge number of books I need to scan for personal and political projects which have broader applications. I would prefer working on a system that could serve many people and needs - and I would be interested in being part of a collective working on getting books scanned and converted to accessible formats (particularly http://daisy.org) - but also interested in working on making the system available to more people and the whole thing accessible for the disabled. I am also interested in discussing working on the further extensions of accommodating reading disabilities, books and computer access for the blind. I volunteer at Revolution Books to fight the power and transform the people for revolution. I have a good basis in literature of art, politics, history, science and international fiction needing to be read and made available. I have a reading disability. I have taught TV production and media in public schools. I live in Oakland. Jacques

Pineapple Fund

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers ~ If anyone has the spoons, sudo room should apply for some funding from http://pineapplefund.org/ I'm on vacation with family, already wrote one for Omni and People's Open and trying to launch the kitchen campaign <https://omnicommons.org/kitchen>, or I'd do it myself. It's really simple - just a one line description of the project and a paragraph on how we'd spend the $$$. Obviously, I think we should ask for ~$10-100K to build out a second level to the space, upgrade our equipment and supplies, and maybe funds for hard drives and screens and such so we can fix up broken laptops and distribute them to our many neighbors in need. There, I just basically wrote it for ya ;) just needs some polish! and I'm sure any one of you inventive souls have great ideas on what we could do with a lil BTC :) Also, I think we should launch a crowdfunding campaign next year, perhaps using BitGive's newly-released GiveTrack <https://www.givetrack.org/> platform. Sudo's never run a fundraising campaign in all of our 6 years of existence, and the time is ripe to finally do so and build upwards! <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

JS night (holiday)

by Lesley Bell

Hello all, I won't be at/hosting js night tonight because it is the holidays and I'm guessing not many people will be there. Just a heads up. For anyone who is thinking of going without door access, there will usually be someone around to let you in, but I can't guarantee it. Best, Lesley

Fwd: [dorkbotsf-blabber] Gift economy: Firmament LEDs

by Patrik D'haeseleer

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Christopher Schardt <atman(a)schardt.org> Date: Wed, Dec 20, 2017 at 5:05 PM Subject: [dorkbotsf-blabber] Gift economy: Firmament LEDs To: Dorkbot-Blabber <dorkbotsf-blabber(a)googlegroups.com> Hi, So last spring/summer I had to replace all of Firmament's LED modules. Now I have 20,000 or so modules to give away. Most of them work, but I can't guarantee which ones will and for how long, since they were all treated badly by the Houston rains. Each bag contains 435 or 465 modules in strings. The strings are attached to the bird netting that made up Firmament's old canopy. There are JST connectors at both ends of most of the strings, and power taps at the end of every string. All wiring is 18ga. Each module contains a WS2801 chip and 3 5050 RGB LEDs. They run on 12VDC. You'll need a PixelPusher or other LED controller to make them do anything. First come, first served!

Launching a crowdfunding campaign to renovate Omni's kitchen this Sunday - help spread the word!

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings omninoms! For those not yet aware, Omni intends to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Sunday to raise funds toward renovating the commercial kitchen in the basement! *if you get the gist, you can proceed directly to the kitchen wiki page <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Kitchen> and/or peruse the CAMPAIGN ACTION KIT <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YRIoL5jlmgxZMBdLQibWNn39gD7wSLx-EgCBbdM…>* We need *ALL HANDS ON DECK *to help spread the word. In particular: - reach out directly to folks in your networks who you think would donate, and ask them if they could contribute when the campaign launches. pre-pledges help ensure successful campaigns. here's some sample text you can use <https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/kitchen-pre-ask> (tx be to julian!) - do you have any press contacts you could tap? we are drafting a press release <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T3xUefmfxntMbin02Nf--R4BsQslth2SZ7Vl7NA…> to be published on Monday after our soft 'community launch' and have zilch lined up so far - can you or your group offer (and follow through on) a perk/reward for certain donation levels? get in touch! - when we launch on sunday, help spread the word by sharing, retweeting, and sending to any and all relevant mailing lists! - do you have a spare hour or two to help with social media, press outreach, door-to-door flyering, graphic design (eg, a facebook cover image people could use?), making a short video or blog post, organizing an event, etc? join the kitchen working group mailing list <https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/kitchen> and/or attend the next meeting - Wednesdays at 6pm in the Basement Library! Check out the wiki page at omnicommons.org/kitchen for more info on the project, including the awesome campaign video <https://omnicommons.org/omnikitchen.mp4> produced largely by the ever-rad-Anka (and starring some of the most OG Food Not Bombs organizers!). -- more info:--- Given the holiday season, the extensive burdens on every activist's energy these days, and a host of other complexities and circumstances, we've decided to break up the campaign into 3 phases. For this first phase, our goal is to raise $15,000 - which will enable us to pull the permits, demo the walls for expansion of the area, and get most if not all of our plumbing work done. The subsequent two phases will have goals of $20K each - though by the end of this first campaign we hope to have a solid lead or two on a significant grant or donor. There are many dangling threads and the kitchen crew could definitely use more support to carry this off. Please do lend a hand, however which way you can!
