Some of these requirements are more necessary than others...

We will need a few computers, though some of the devices like scanners could also be connected to laptops that people bring in perhaps.

Live CDs

We might be able to create Ubuntu Live-CDs with the required software for the various modules. This would make it easy to bring in a handful of computers for a workshop and get them up and running quickly. A live CD would also be a useful component of the modules themselves, making them easily replicable elsewhere.

Audio-video module

  • project leaders:
    • Rachel
    • add your name ...
  • project members:
    • Patrick Timony - accessibility - Adaptive Services has scanners and some tools for creating accessible formats. We also can help with captioning videos.
    • add your name...
  • computer or laptop
    • best if people can bring in own laptops or library has computers, but otherwise a portable but higher performance laptop like [1] ($559) would be useful. Or if we want the module to not be ultra portable, then a desktop machine would work.
  • external hard drive
    • portable external hard drive ($111) [2] - for copying non-copyrighted videos, audio, ...
  • video camera for capturing stories
  • portable audio recorder, also for recording stories
  • video capture hardware
    • I have one of these hardware devices and an older version of the Pinnacle Studio software that I'd be happy to donate. Aude 13:40, 28 September 2011 (EDT)
  • blank CDs, DVDs and or flash drives...
  • software (open source)

Photo scanning module

  • project leaders:
    • add your name ...
  • project members:
    • Patrick Timony - accessibility - Adaptive Services has scanners and some tools for creating accessible formats. We can also help with labeling digital images.
    • add your name...
  • computer
    • best if people can bring in own laptops or library has computers, but otherwise a portable but higher performance laptop like [3] ($559) would be useful. Or if we want the module to not be ultra portable, then a desktop machine would work.
  • external hard drive
    • portable external hard drive ($111) [4]
  • scanner
  • software
    • gimp (image editing)

Book scanning module

Note: We'd probably not focus on this, at least not in the short-term, given the volunteer capacity.

  • project leaders:
    • add your name ...
  • project members:
    • Patrick Timony - accessibility - Adaptive Services has scanners and some tools for creating accessible formats.
    • add your name...
  • computer
    • best if people can bring in own laptops or library has computers, but otherwise a portable but higher performance laptop like [5] ($559) would be useful. Or if we want the module to not be ultra portable, then a desktop machine would work.
  • external hard drive
    • portable external hard drive ($111) [6]
  • book scanner

Mapping module

We'd seek funding from OSM-related source for this:

  • project leaders:
    • add your name ...
  • project members:
    • add your name...
  • computer
    • best if people can bring in own laptops or library has computers, but otherwise a portable but higher performance laptop like [7] ($559) would be useful. Or if we want the module to not be ultra portable, then a desktop machine would work.
  • printer - for walking papers / maps
  • gps device - nice to have

Other modules?

  • add here

Other

  • a mini / portable projector for presentations, meetups, hackathons and other events in the space
