DIY Book Scanners
by Nate Hill 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hi all, Sounds like things are going very well at the LibLab in DC! I'm sorry I'm not around to be more hands on. I've been talking a bit with Daniel Reetz creator of the DIY Book Scanner project. http://www.diybookscanner.org/ His work continues to gain momentum, and he plans to start offering kits to build these things very soon. Some of the first kits will be available to folks with existing needs: meaning book scanning projects in the queue. This sounds like a great fit for the LibLab. So I have a few questions: Are you all working with a FabLab / TechShop of some sort in DC right now? Is there a book scanning project you are interested in doing? Do you have the capacity to support something like this right now? Does this sound interesting to pursue? Cheers, Nate -- Nate Hill nathanielhill(a)gmail.com http://www.natehill.net

There will be a meeting of the Wikimania Committee on Sunday, September 25 at 2 PM at a place to be determined. For those who will not be able to make the meeting in person, the meeting will also be transmitted over Skype simultaneously. The agenda will focus on seeking sponsorships, the hiring of a conference organizer, and a timeline for the conference. Attend if at all possible! If there is something which should be discussed now which I have omitted, please let me know. -- James Hare

Help design a banner(s)
by aude 17 Sep '11

17 Sep '11

For the Library Lab project at the MLK Jr. DC Public Library (and future events), we have the opportunity to get a couple banners made. 1) something that highlights Wikimedia DC and/or maybe more generically Wikip/media-themed, which the Wikimedia Foundation is willing to print and send with some swag we're getting for the space. I expect we'd want to reuse this banner, including at Wikimania. 2) something, probably generic, that advertises the Library Lab space. (see http://librarylab.org for concepts and pdf: http://www.natehill.net/liblab/LibLabReport_final2.pdf) The library is willing to get something printed for this. Is anyone up to either of these tasks to help us out? or want to collaborate on either of these? I'm not exactly sure what the size is for either. I'm not the most graphically talented and would be thrilled to get some help with this. Cheers, Katie -- President, Wikimedia District of Columbia http://wikimediadc.org @wikimediadc / @wikimania2012

Website + Twitter updated
by aude 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Per this morning's announcement, I've updated our website to use our new logo and point to http://wikimediadc.org (wikidc.org will also still work). Also, we're now @wikimediadc on Twitter with the old name @wikidc pointing people to our new name. As soon as I get a chance, I'll get around to updating our paper membership form and anything else I've forgotten. Cheers, Katie -- President, Wikimedia District of Columbia http://wikimediadc.org @wikimediadc / @wikimania2012
