[Wikimedia-SF] Access to 3D-scanner
Hi! Does anybody in area has access to 3D scanner? I want to scan some coins for Commons, but this is still in planning stage. Related questions: * How long scanning of single coin's side could take? * Is there open format for such images which could satisfy Commons requirements? Question of viewing aside for awhile :-) Eugene. ___ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf
Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Access to 3D-scanner
Hi, Erik! It's great! If you'll have some free time, could you please find answers to questions I have (necessary time, resolution, file formats)? One of my friends have quite good collection and I could borrow some part of it for some time, but I need some estimates for planning purposes :-) Eugene.

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Maker Faire - Shift Signup
Hi, Jon! Please don't forget to send your and Phoebe cell phone numbers to volunteers today/Friday. Sure, it should be in private mails. Eugene. On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 11:55 AM, Jon Davis w...@konsoletek.com wrote: Ok, I was a lazy bastard, I apologize. I've finally gone and created the shift signup for Maker Faire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/Maker_Faire_2010#Volunteers Last year, we had the problem with having too many people at the booth first thing in the morning and then not enough later in the day. This year we're going to break things up into shifts. I ask that you show up at least 10mn early for your shift and be ready to stay around for the duration of your shift (Obviously 100% is not required, but I ask that you don't plan on wandering off for half the time of the shift). After the shift, you're more than welcome to stay at the Faire (since you're already in the gate) and do what ever your heart desires. If you've got a late shift, we can get you in early to the Faire so you can check things out, and then work later. On the wiki, I put 3 slots per shift. Replace the slot with your name for your desired shift. If your desired shift is already full, please consider filling out the other shifts before expanding a filled shift. FAQ's Q) Can we have more than 3 people working at once? A) Yes, but per my previous mention, I'd like to try and balance out the volunteers. Q) Can we work multiple shifts? A) Of course. I'm not going to say no to anyone that wants to spend the entire day with Phoebe and I, loosing our voice shouting over what ever noisy thing we'll be next to this year. Q) I'm not exactly sure when I can work/Your times don't work for me. What can I do? A) It's not a perfect system. If you're not sure, put yourself down as a maybe. If you're travel arrangements preclude a specific time period (you're going to be an hour late, etc), just note that too. We'll have people there, I'm just trying to space them out over the entire day. Q) Do I have to pay to get in? A) No. We get a set of badges (generally not enough for everyone, but we make it work), and we'll get you in and out of the staff entrance - details to follow. Q) Do I get to see the Faire? A) Yes, the Faire is open 10am to 8pm Saturday and 10am to 6pm Sunday. We only ask for 3 hours of that time. Q) Can I come multiple days? A) Yes Q) What does a volunteer have to do? A) Basically, you get to sit at our booth, look pretty, accept compliments (people love Wikipedia) and tell people about Wikimedia/Wikipedia/All the projects. If we're lucky, you might even convince a few people to edit. We'll have stuff to give away (like flyers, and stickers and such). Q) I'm confused, I have more questions A) That isn't a question - but email the list, or me personally - I can tell you about Maker Faire till your ears bleed. -Jon -- Jon [[User:ShakataGaNai]] / KJ6FNQ http://snowulf.com/ This email should not be used to sue me -- Bawolff ___ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf ___ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf

I registered -- http://www.computerhistory.org/events/index.php?id=1260822096 -- for both just in case, and I may actually go both days because I've been a big fan of Plato Learning (nasdaq: tutr) for a long time, but I don't want to crowd out other people by reserving a date I won't be there, so it would be great if we could have some preferences, especially from Cam, who offered to carpool from Oakland (2 seats left), and will therefore decide the date I'm sure to go. Also, do office staff want a big LCD display?

[Wikimedia-SF] Idea for Commons Booth at MakerFair
Hi! I think will be great to organize photo/video sessions in Commons booth about how to create/fix/repair/disassemble things. Such materials will be definitely useful for Wikipedia/Wikibooks/WikiHow and it's will be well aligned with MakerFair idea itself.
