East Oakland Community Library


Hello Everyone,

I have been holding of from writing, because there really is not much to say for now.
Mostly my working days consist of organizing various aspects of the EOCL project.
Together with Rene we are preparing for the digitizing event, which is on the 25th of this month. Sorry, I am not going to see you at the next colloquium.

I've reserved video equipment, a digital camera for the documentation, and I am still looking for a scanner. Rene is arranging for local organizations like 'Youth Uprising' and 'Youth Radio' to commit to attend and participate. I am looking forward to actually interact with the people from East Oakland, hear their stories, and see all the different materials that they are going to bring. As a test I shot a short video interview with my friend. It is compressed so it can be viewed on line and we will still determine the final compression rate. Also, I am still working on getting wireless system set up for the event.





Thank you for now, and I will keep you posted .

Hey Blaz,
thanks for posting your blog entry. The project that you are working with Rene on sounds fascinating. I'm sorry that the CSF's will be unable to assist you this weekend. It sounds like you are an integral part of the project and I look forward to hearing how it develops. Please continue to share the ways in which you are involved with the project and the various skills you are learning. In addition, please post any further events we can assist/participate in.

thanks,
Rebecca
