New page

Among our various groups we have a fantastic library and a ton of writers. A community-accessible infoshop is a natural fit for the south side of the library (the three small rooms parallel to sudo room). Beyond a well-organized library, solicitation of zines from Oakland and beyond, and comfy chairs for reading, the Omni Infoshop/ZineLab could include a participatory twist with the following features:
* a printing and documentation station for zine-making (ZineLab),
* a public terminal for adding to OaklandWiki and designing layouts,
* a bookscanner for digitizing and preserving publications.
