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.

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
Here's some detail about the design:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4-qMc2QSOw
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:

New subject: I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland
Thank you Dany.
Fantastic! I met you at noisebridge a couple years ago at a meeting of the
digital archivists. Your work in people's book scanning is important, (with
the little I know) - as can be seen in your google talk:
https://youtu.be/4JuoOaL11bw
My interest begins with access to scanning and digitized books for the
ideas but, that is dependent upon the scanner hardware developers and
hackers. 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,
it sounds like Dany is offering the kit to sudoroom, would you be willing to
meet with him to pick it up and bring it in? I can help you find a place to
set it up and computers and even cameras to get it going.

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

i think storing all the pages at monochrome images is ideal, and you can embed
OCR of the text invisibly behind the scanned text so that it's searchable.
but ultimately i think it's best to make several formats available, like epub,
text, rtf, etc. maybe even html.

I'm into it. I've saved a number of books over the years "just in case"
and have a shelf work to feed through the beast then pass on further
into the universe. Tues 1/9 hacknight? Looks like some 80/20 rail
frame work would come in handy too, will chase down those parts in
meantime.

text, rtf, etc. maybe even html.

New subject: [Digitalarchivists] I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland
Hey Folks,
Always glad to hear of more interest in book scanning. Just wanted to
"swoop in from Berlin," as they say, to remark on the specialness of the
Reetz 1.0 scanner. This is what was written to the last space (Double
Union) who were thinking of borrowing it:
The scanner in question was the first DIY Book Scanner kit
<https://web.archive.org/web/20130302002026/http://diybookscanner.myshopify.com/products/diy-book-scanner-kit>
offered
by Daniel Reetz starting in 2012 (hereafter referred to as Reetz 1.0). We
bought ours for $495 plus tax and S&H in April of 2013. The unit was the
product of more work, willpower and idea exchange than I could possibly
summarize here, though Daniel himself offers an abbreviated rundown
<http://www.diybookscanner.org/archivist/indexaaae.html?page_id=29> on the
current website. The unabbreviated history is written in the archive of
the diybookscanner.org forums, the original Instructables project
<http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-High-Speed-Book-Scanner-from-Trash-and-Cheap-C/?ALLSTEPS>,
the many <https://www.wired.com/2009/12/diy-book-scanner/> articles
<http://www.businessinsider.com/daniel-reetz-diy-book-scanner-2013-2> that
catapulted the project to international attention, in between the folds of
Daniel's voracious, odds-defying, rapid-prototyping brain, and perhaps in
the pages of some future book on the subject (which we will scan on one of
the Reetz scanners, so meta). It was also the direct basis for the
Internet Archive's "Table Top Scribe
<https://archive.org/details/tabletopscribesystem>" system, clandestinely
constructed during a period in which we were lead to believe that our
scanner was being retrofitted to integrate seamlessly with IA servers. A
spontaneous visit to an open Friday lunch happened to give us front row
seats to the black cloth unveiling of that unit, whose duplicitous origins
<https://forum.diybookscanner.org/viewtopic.php?t=3098> have never been
fully acknowledged.
While it may not be immediately apparent to anyone eyeing the Reetz 1.0 in
whatever corner of Noisebridge it currently occupies, this unit is much,
much more than the sum of its CNC-milled parts. As the owners, assemblers
and operators of both this and the newer "Archivist
<http://diybookscanner.org/archivist/>" scanner (which we call Reetz 2.0),
we'd like for whomsoever responsibility of this equipment be transferred
to, temporarily or permanently, bear that history in mind and make a
concerted effort to ensure its safety and security.
The last thing I'd ask is that if ever it's not being used or not being
treated excellently, it be returned to Noisebridge, just as if that were to
happen at Noisebridge, it would be returned to me. Collecting different
flavors of hackerspace dust is a cruel fate for such a storied instrument.
If no one has any use or love for it, I always will.
Best from "Berlin,"
-Danny

Fantastic! I met you at noisebridge a couple years ago at a meeting of the
digital archivists. Your work in people's book scanning is important,
(with
the little I know) - as can be seen in your google talk:
https://youtu.be/4JuoOaL11bw
My interest begins with access to scanning and digitized books for the
ideas but, that is dependent upon the scanner hardware developers and
hackers. 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.

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
Here's some detail about the design:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4-qMc2QSOw
It's currently disassembled, basically a kit again.
Do you all want it? If so, I'd be happy to help on that side.

New subject: [Digitalarchivists] I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland
One last thing:
None of the sentimentality expressed in that message means that the scanner
should not be hacked. It should be hacked. Anyone willing to make it
better has always been welcome to do so, and I would be excited to see that
happen at sudo room, as I know other DAG members are.

Hey Folks,
Always glad to hear of more interest in book scanning. Just wanted to
"swoop in from Berlin," as they say, to remark on the specialness of the
Reetz 1.0 scanner. This is what was written to the last space (Double
Union) who were thinking of borrowing it:
The scanner in question was the first DIY Book Scanner kit
<https://web.archive.org/web/20130302002026/http://diybookscanner.myshopify.com/products/diy-book-scanner-kit>
offered
by Daniel Reetz starting in 2012 (hereafter referred to as Reetz 1.0). We
bought ours for $495 plus tax and S&H in April of 2013. The unit was the
product of more work, willpower and idea exchange than I could possibly
summarize here, though Daniel himself offers an abbreviated rundown
<http://www.diybookscanner.org/archivist/indexaaae.html?page_id=29> on
the current website. The unabbreviated history is written in the archive
of the diybookscanner.org forums, the original Instructables project
<http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-High-Speed-Book-Scanner-from-Trash-and-Cheap-C/?ALLSTEPS>,
the many <https://www.wired.com/2009/12/diy-book-scanner/> articles
<http://www.businessinsider.com/daniel-reetz-diy-book-scanner-2013-2> that
catapulted the project to international attention, in between the folds of
Daniel's voracious, odds-defying, rapid-prototyping brain, and perhaps in
the pages of some future book on the subject (which we will scan on one of
the Reetz scanners, so meta). It was also the direct basis for the
Internet Archive's "Table Top Scribe
<https://archive.org/details/tabletopscribesystem>" system, clandestinely
constructed during a period in which we were lead to believe that our
scanner was being retrofitted to integrate seamlessly with IA servers. A
spontaneous visit to an open Friday lunch happened to give us front row
seats to the black cloth unveiling of that unit, whose duplicitous origins
<https://forum.diybookscanner.org/viewtopic.php?t=3098> have never been
fully acknowledged.
While it may not be immediately apparent to anyone eyeing the Reetz 1.0 in
whatever corner of Noisebridge it currently occupies, this unit is much,
much more than the sum of its CNC-milled parts. As the owners, assemblers
and operators of both this and the newer "Archivist
<http://diybookscanner.org/archivist/>" scanner (which we call Reetz
2.0), we'd like for whomsoever responsibility of this equipment be
transferred to, temporarily or permanently, bear that history in mind and
make a concerted effort to ensure its safety and security.
The last thing I'd ask is that if ever it's not being used or not being
treated excellently, it be returned to Noisebridge, just as if that were to
happen at Noisebridge, it would be returned to me. Collecting different
flavors of hackerspace dust is a cruel fate for such a storied instrument.
If no one has any use or love for it, I always will.
Best from "Berlin,"
-Danny

Jacques,
it sounds like Dany is offering the kit to sudoroom, would you be willing
to
meet with him to pick it up and bring it in? I can help you find a place
to
set it up and computers and even cameras to get it going.

Thank you Dany.
Fantastic! I met you at noisebridge a couple years ago at a meeting of
the
digital archivists. Your work in people's book scanning is important,
(with
the little I know) - as can be seen in your google talk:
https://youtu.be/4JuoOaL11bw
My interest begins with access to scanning and digitized books for the
ideas but, that is dependent upon the scanner hardware developers and
hackers. 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.

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
Here's some detail about the design:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4-qMc2QSOw
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:
