[omni-consensus] flat screen monitor for entrance hall - sudo-discuss

9 Apr 2022

who wants to help set up a computer to drive a public display?  a reliable,
low-power desktop machine that can auto-power-on is the bare minimum, and then
some remote-access software that can facilitate non-technical people with
updating the slideshow that it displays

this is an exciting Omni-wide infrastructure that we should enjoy!

I would be willing to help with that, i love infrastructure like that.  I can
help install a computer that feeds images to it, and help people learn how to
update the images whether they're local or remotely.

I can also probably find a replacement TV screen for after the first one stops
working or disappears, i know where to get more.

  Hi there,

 Now that we are in the process of re-opening for events and other activity
 in the building, and probably adding new collectives, I wanted to re-float
 this idea I had last summer about installing a flat screen monitor on a
 wall in the entrance hall.

 This would display cycling images (possibly taken from our Instagram feed
 -- which folx like Micha, Marquise, Silver and others have been good about
 updating) of things coming up at Omni, things member collectives are doing
 in the community, announcements from other community groups, etc. The
 concept is to have it be an "entrance" to Omni, in terms of representing
 what happens at Omni, what the people and groups at Omni do, and how we are
 connected to the community, and our values, etc.

 We currently have a large flat screen monitor sitting in storage in the A/V
 room that we had pulled out of the crow's nest room last fall. This is a
 proposal that would actually not cost Omni any money, which is lol out of
 character coming from me.

 thanks for yr consideration,
 Sarah L
