===[[Digital Archivists]] group meeting notes 7/8/2013===

attending: danny, dany

'''Possible locations for Reetz scanner:'''

Darkroom

- what is its level of use?

- propose at general meeting

"SEM" room (back corner)

'''Security for IA cameras/computer:'''

- locking a room? (darkroom)

- locking down equipment?

'''Transporting scanner to IA for equipment loan, install, orientation:'''

- need a car!

'''Reimbursment for Reetz scanner ($500):'''

- ask noisebridge once scanner is operational

- consider asking the four other "core members" (Miloh, Felipe, John, Dany) to reimburse Danny $100 each, resulting in an even five-way stake ($100/person) in the kit. could incentivize the pursuit of noisebridge reimbursement by distributing debt evenly among the most active project members.

'''Promotion:'''

- improve wiki

- announce meetings on noisebridge-discuss

- announce on other lists with larger audience?

first meeting notes
===[[Digital Archivists]] group meeting notes 4/21/2013===

9 people in attendence, Danny moderating
introductions,
danny discusses the impetus for calling the first meeting,

in attendance: [[User:Myxomop|danny N]], dany Q, felipe, john, curtis, andrew, [[User:miloh|miloh]], [[User:almccon|alan]], kristina

references..
aaaaarg.org

we take a look at the reetz scanner with online videos... offer to get a proto for some discount under
$500

and a look at dany Qs scanner, which costs more and has some failure rate
issues but is a good direction to head in (whats the scope of the scanning
problem, how many hours work would it take for all possible books to be scanned
by attendant scanners?) folks don't want to put valuable books into a scanner
that could destory or damage them, but the design should be worked on.

danny talks about myco books of rare value that aren't available. mushrooms,
russia, and history from newalexandria.org is a success story.

danny suggests scan for our purposes (archival and reference) and keep discussing licenssing issues to find ways to sucessfully get the content released.

public domain is discussed, copyright, usage guidelines,

documentation to accompany the scanner is discussed -- where to upload information and what kind of licensing issues exits.

===conclusions: ===

committed to purchase the last of the diybookscanners from d. reetz, and work to get the remaining parts and get it built for use asap. We're also interested in building other models of scanners with different levels of automation and capability.
