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

[jacques revera]

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.
