Re: [sudo-discuss] I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland

Yes. Dany, what is a good day/time for me to meet you at Noisebridge? I will do what it takes to get this going. Jake's cameras and organizational work are essential.

I met you at noisebridge a couple years ago at a meeting of the digital archivists.

That base kit (donated from NoiseBridge) Daniel Reetz developed and put out in 2011 and the development of a community around it was a game changer I think. Your help with a kit ready-to-assemble will get us off to a fast start - which will help firm up this new book scanning access and group at the omni. jacques On Mon, Dec 25, 2017 at 3:45 PM, <dany.nb(a)qhex.org> wrote: Hello, I helped with the Noisebridge book scanners, and the one we wanted to donate is the red one shown here: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Bookscanner [1] Here's some detail about the design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4-qMc2QSOw [2] It's currently disassembled, basically a kit again.
