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

[dany.nb at qhex.org]

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:

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,
Dany
