someone came to IRC asking if we had a bookscanner, because they are
visually impaired and need to read some books after scanning them.
here is what they said in IRC. I don't know how to contact them but I
think we should prioritize making a working bookscanner, or at least a
regular scanner, at sudoroom, and putting mention of it on our website in
an easily read way. Our site is not the best for visually impaired people
to read, so we should keep that in mind when making changes.
also i am pleased to say that the robot arm has volunteered to help with
any bookscanning efforts, if we have a scanner and book that we are
willing to sacrifice in the name of training it to be gentle.
we can easily attach vacuum and air-blowing nozzles onto its hand, and it
can wield a flatbed scanner and place it onto the pages of the books,
given sufficient software intelligence and programming.

10:10 < jacques_> Hey, I have a reading disability and am looking for
access to a book scanner this week and
interested in working with book scanner hardware
and software with my local hackerspaces long
term. The scanners at noisebride and AMT are taken
apart currently and the book scanning
service at the digital archive only converts to
daisy as I understand it. I need to scan 2
250 page hardback books to text or PDF-text to be
able to do text-t[o speech conversion]
10:10 < jacques_> Do you have a book scanner or do you know where I can
accomplish this locally? I am a professional AV tech
with lots of video, audio, arts, books and DIY
experience.
10:22 < yar> jacques_: i don't think we have a book scanner. if we do,
it's definitely not well-documented or operational.
10:31 < jacques_> Who would you ask if you were trying to quickly find a
book scanner in the Bay Area?
10:32 < yar> idk, noisebridge's scanners may be taken apart but they still
have a "digitalarchivist" email list
where i've seen some activity recently
10:33 < yar> https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/digitalarchivists
10:34 < yar> oh wait that most recent email is probably from you, huh? :)
10:45 < jacques_> yes...(sigh) lots of discussion for this half-blind
half-deaf half-wit
10:45 < jacques_> but no scanno
11:00 < jacques_> sorry for that moment of self-pity. I am unable to read
books except with audio and am part of
an important campaign I need to ead a book by the 2
authors for short promo
http://youtu.be/CsJVwxwYhag a breif promo
11:04 < jacques_> without capital-ism, we would not need to have this
conversation because copy-right would not
have technology, books and all ideas locked up
11:33 < jacques_> called 3 tech shops techshop.ws for-profit hackerspaces
but still cannot locate in perhaps the
technology center of the solarsystem the proverbila
bookscanner which in theory are becomming
avilable in all hackerspaces globally

Hi all,
I / we really need my green Ryobi impact drill.. I haven't seen it in a
long time.
Any idea of where it may be? It looks like my other green grill, but it's
shorter and meant for driving screws only -
We need to get a bunch of drills together for taking apart another Walkin -

Sorry, but to me the only thing rabid, incendiary or ugly in this
thread is the idea that naming power relationships is somehow itself
rabid, incendiary, or ugly. This is the "she who smelt it dealt it"
theory of sociology, and in my experience it only serves to silence
marginalized people.
Hey all,
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014-10-29#Conflict_Resolution
"Amendment: Any further sleeping by ChrisB at Omni will result in an
immediate temporary ban."
I'm here at omni alone, except Chris B is asleep in the basement.
The lighting room above the stage (aka "crow's nest" aka "man cave") is
still rather full of equipment, project pieces, personal effects, etc of
Chris.
It seems that instead of completely cleaning out the room after our last
meeting on Wednesday, he cleaned up part of it, and set up a "DJ booth"
inside sudo room on the "networking platform" behind the stage. A bunch of
this DJ equipment is occupying what was the freshly cleaned table myself
and other sudoers unearthed during our defragmentation, making it available
to the community for printing, omni network maintenance (read: whole
building), and mesh network activities. The newly acquired paper cutter I
bought and donated to sudo was pushed aside to make room for this DJ setup.
There's also a container on the floor among other objects around the table
that take up all the desk and sitting space (~6ft long, three chairs).
There is also various audio equipment lining the wall upstage in the
ballroom, and a table full of equipment at center stage.
Sudo Room itself is nearly clean thanks to the many hours of effort by
sudoers, especially some extremely excellent new members. I appreciate the
shared work, including new members' presences, enthusiasm, and respect as
we nurture this shared environment.
I do not appreciate the consistent disrespect and negligence demonstrated
time and time again by Chris B in his use of the space.
I'm not happy about this result, nor finding him asleep just now, but my
patience has completely evaporated at this point, like a batch of mate left
boiling for hours on the stove.
I leave this to other sudo room members to figure out what to do next.
I plan to leave Chris alone, sleeping in the Omni until someone else wakes
him up.
