Hello,I helped with the Noisebridge book scanners, and the one we wanted to donate is the red one shown here:
Here's some detail about the design:It's currently disassembled, basically a kit again.Do you all want it? If so, I'd be happy to help on that side.I've cc'd our group's mailing list, and you're welcome to join if you want to collaborate at all:Best,DanyOn Sun, Dec 24, 2017 at 12:26 PM, robb <sf99er@gmail.com> wrote:tues @sudo >8pm is a time to collaborateOn Sun, Dec 24, 2017 at 12:09 PM, jacques revera <jacquesrevera@gmail.com> wrote:lockable should not be a problem. If noisebridge is donating one of the older designs, it would be framed with raw wood we can just screw some hinges and plywood in - to box it - to keep people from fiddling with the mechanisms. The cameras might need a more secure spot at the omni.Marc, Robb, Jake,
I am looking forward to meeting and working with you. I am new to this list, the omni commons and the sudo room so please keep me straight on that.I am back in town Jan. 1 --- Tues Jan. 2 would be a good day for me to meet and begin - and maybe complete a plan and proposal if needed for the omni collectives. I have a van if there is a base-kit already constructed at noisebridge that needs to be picked up.

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
