<html><head></head><body>I have a conflict, actually. The same time Wednesday, or earlier Thursday I could make. I haven't participated in this Noisebridge group, so maybe it's not worth moving around for my sake, but I used to crawl the web at the Internet Archive, if that's worth any cred. I'd like to have conversations about p2p digital archives, specifically but not limited to web archives. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">"newmy51@gmail.com" <newmy51@gmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<div dir="ltr"><div><div>The Digital Archivists Group (<a href="https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Digital_Archivists" target="_blank">https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Digital_Archivists</a>) is establishing a weekly meeting time of Thursdays at 6:30PM (unless, in my ignorance, I have missed some glaring schedule conflict, in which case it will be at some other time).<br />
<br /></div>We have two partially completed scanners which we've been tinkering with and talking about for the past few months, Dany Qumsiyeh's Linear Scanner (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/linear-book-scanner/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/linear-book-scanner/</a>) and the DIYBS Reetz Kit Scanner (<a href="http://diybookscanner.myshopify.com/products/diy-book-scanner-kit" target="_blank">http://diybookscanner.myshopify.com/products/diy-book-scanner-kit</a>). Through collaboration with Daniel Reetz, the DIY Book Scanner community, and the kind folks over at the Books Department of the Internet Archive, we're working toward something of a universal hackerspace standard for book scanning worldwide.<br />
<br /></div><div>A loose, pencil-etched agenda for this coming Thursday:<br /><br /></div><div>* Establishing a secure and (more or less) stationary home for all digital archivism-themed things and their requisite equipment at Noisebridge<br />
</div><div>
* Usefulness/feasibility of running IA and/or other book scanner related software on a Raspberry Pi.<br /></div><div>* Fine tuning/troubleshooting a few miscellaneous Reetz Scanner issues (glare, foot pedal, backup camera triggering, etc.)<br />
</div><div>* Updating the woefully impoverished wiki<br /></div><div>* Reetz Scanner reimbursement/investment options<br /></div><div>* Beer-augmented general banter and brainstorming<br /><br /></div><div>For more frequent and specific updates, subscribe to <a href="mailto:digitalarchivists@lists.noisebridge.net" target="_blank">digitalarchivists@lists.noisebridge.net</a>.<br />
<br /></div><div>See you Thursday,<br /><br />-Danny<br /></div></div>
