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.orghttps://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.

We just launched our crowdfunding campaign to build out the kitchen in
Omni's basement for use by Food Not Bombs, Phat Beetz, Counter Culture
Labs, Bay Area Applied Mycology, The Village in Oakland #FeedThePeople, and
others in the community in need of an affordable commercial kitchen!

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!

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
