<p>In the Ouvroir de Numérisation Potentielle (the workshop of potential digitisation, or OuNuPo) the XPUB practitioners reflected on several topics: how culture is shaped by book scanning? Who has access and who is excluded from digital culture? How free software and open source hardware have bootstrapped a new culture of librarians?
