26 broadcast them on the air? Using free software? With video on demand
28 <a href=
"http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">free and
29 open standards
</a>? Included a web based video stream as well? And
30 administrate it all in your web browser from anywhere in the world? A
31 few years now the Norwegian public access TV-channel
32 <a href=
"http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen
</a> have been building a
33 system to do just this. The source code for the solution is licensed
34 using the GNU LGPL, and
35 <a href=
"http://github.com/Frikanalen">available from github
</a>.
</p>
37 <p>The idea is simple. You upload a video file over the web, and
38 attach meta information to the file. You select a time slot in the
39 program schedule, and when the time come it is played on the air and
40 in the web stream. It is also made available in a video on demand
41 solution for anyone to see it also outside its scheduled time. All
42 you need to run a TV station - using your web browser.
</p>
44 <p>There are several parts to this web based solution. I'll mention
45 the three most important ones. The first part is the database of
46 videos and the schedule. This is written in Django and include a REST
47 API. The current database is SQLite, but the plan is to migrate it to
48 PostgreSQL. At the moment this system can be tested on
49 <a href=
"http://beta.frikanalen.tv/">beta.frikanalen.tv
</a>. The
50 second part is the video playout, taking the schedule information from
51 the database and providing a video stream to broadcast. This is done
52 using
<a href=
"http://www.casparcg.com/">CasparCG from SVT
</a> and
53 <a href=
"http://www.mltframework.org/">Media Lovin' Toolkit
</a>. Video
54 signal distribution is handled using
55 <a href=
"http://www.ob-encoder.com/">Open Broadcast Encoder
</a>. The
56 third part is the converter, handling the transformation of uploaded
57 video files to a format useful for broadcasting, streaming and video
58 on demand. It is still very much work in progress, so it is not yet
59 decided what it will end up using. Note that the source of the latter
60 two parts are not yet pushed to github. The lead author want to clean
61 them up a bit more first.
</p>
63 <p>The development is coordinated on the
64 <a href=
"irc://irc.freenode.net/%23frikanalen">#frikanalen IRC

120 <div class=
"body"><p>Etter en lang pause og travle uker har jeg endelig klart å få
121 samlet et nytt intervju med en av folkene i
122 <a href=
"http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux
</a>-miljøet.
123 Denne gang er det Helge Tore Høyland, en mangeårig bidragsyter på
124 epostlistene og ellers i prosjektet.
</p>
126 <p><strong>Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?
</strong></p>
128 <p>Eg er IT-konsulent/teknikker hjå eit firma i Steinkjer med navn
129 <a href=
"http://unoit.no/">Uno IT
</a>. Uno IT er eit lite firma som
130 drifter nettverk og maskiner for små og mellomstore firma
131 Steinkjer-området. Per dags dato er me
2 ansatte. Min faglege bakgrunn
132 er Fagbrev som it-teknikker, samt nokre fag innen nettverk- og
133 server-drift frå HiST og NTNU. Dagleg arbeid består i oppsett av nye
134 maskiner og hjelp til sluttbrukere, samt oppsett og vedlikehold av eit
135 vidt spekter av fagsystemer ute hjå kunder. Erfaring med Skolelinux
136 har eg hatt i forbindelse med drifting av
137 <a href=
"http://www.bjorkly.no/">Bjørkly skule
</a>, ein privat
138 grunnskule i Namsos-området. I dag har skulen
65 elever,
15 lærere,
1
139 hovedserver og ca
60 klienter som kjører halvtjukt. Eg har bygd og
140 driftet systemet sidan summaren
2006.
</p>
142 <p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?
</strong></p>
144 <p>Eg kom i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet via ein artikkel i eit
145 fagblad, som eg ikkje lenger hugsar namnet på. I og med at eg allereie
146 hadde pusla med nettverk for ein annan skule, fatta eg straks
147 interesse for prosjektet.
</p>
149 <p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?
</strong></p>
151 <p>Fordelane med Skolelinux er sentralisert administrasjon og svært
152 mange gode verktøy «ut av boksen». Veldig kjekt å kunne drifte
60
153 klientar med berre å «bry» seg med ein server. Levetid for systemets
154 hardware er og ein veldig fin effekt. I tillegg kjem fordelar som økt
155 sikkerhet og mindre lisenskostnader. Etter min erfaring er det og
156 mykje mindre driftskostnader med eit slikt system enn konkurrerande
157 system, pga enkelhet med sentralisert administrasjon. På grunn av at
158 Skolelinux er basert på Debian er det òg svært stabilt.
</p>
160 <p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?
</strong></p>
162 <p>Ulemper er mangel på vilje til å følge standarer ute i markedet,
163 som fører til mangel på støtte til nokre mykje brukte ting. Flash og
164 Java er typiske eksempel. Sidan Debian satsar på stabilitet framfor å
165 ha nyeste pakke av eit program, kan ein i nokre tilfeller kome borti
166 at program vert «for gamle». Det er spesielt nettlesaren som er
167 utsett. Mangel på vilje til å utvikle pedagogisk programvare, i Noreg,
168 for «alle» platformer fører òg til noko hovudbry.
</p>
170 <p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?
</strong></p>
172 <p>Til dagleg bruker eg svært mange forskjellige «fri programvare»
173 program. Firefox, Thunderbird, Freecommander, ImgBurn, Clonezilla,
174 OCS inventory, Icinga, Skolelinux, SystemRescueCD og mykje meir.
</p>
176 <p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
177 skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?
</strong></p>
179 <p>Strategisk må ein fokusere på at sluttbruker eigentleg ikkje er så
180 fokusert på at det er fri programvare men at det skal «berre fungere».
181 Gjer det enkelt å bruker og ikkje minst å administrere. For Skolelinux
182 sin del må ein få eit betre fokus på overganger. Utbytting av servere
183 må gå meir automatisk, import og eksport av brukerbase og maskinbase
184 med meir må kunne gå enkelt og oppgradering til neste versjon må bli
185 mykje meir automatisk og gjennomtesta. Ein må unngå at ein må sette
186 opp frå start når ein byter ut ein server eller oppgraderer til neste
187 versjon. For å få Skolelinux til å bli eit betre alternativ for skular
188 må ein ha fokus på nettlesaren. Denne må bli «up to date» og støtte
189 dei protokollar og tillegg som vert brukt av forlag med meir. Etter
190 kvart som meir og meir blir flytta ut i «skya» vert dette viktigare og
191 viktigare. Ein kunne ynskje og jobbe for at forlag med fleire tar i
192 bruk opne standarer, men inntil det skjer, må systemet kunne brukast
193 mot desse fagsystema.
</p>
195 <p>For meg har prosjektet med Skolelinux vore ein svært artig og
196 lærerik prosess. Miljøet rundt er ikkje enormt stort, dog stort nok,
197 men det er svært hjelpevillig og engasjert.

</a>. To
215 download a map, just click on the country you are interested in, and
216 download the map type you want. There are
8 different maps available,
217 using different colours and data selection. Pick one of Roadmap, Topo
218 Summer, Topo Winter, Roadmap II, Topo Summer II, Topo Winter II,
219 "Trails - overlay map" and "Cross country - overlay map" (see the web
220 page for descriptions).
</p>
222 <p>The maps are updated weekly, so if you find something wrong in the
223 map you can just edit the
224 <a href=

</a> map source
225 (anyone can contribute) and fetch a fixed map a week later. :)

240 <div class=
"body"><p>Here in Norway, electronic invoices are spreading, and the
241 <a href=
"http://www.anskaffelser.no/e-handel/faktura">solution promoted
242 by the Norwegian government
</a> require that invoices are sent through
243 one of the approved facilitators, and it is not possible to send
244 electronic invoices without an agreement with one of these
245 facilitators. This seem like a needless limitation to be able to
246 transfer invoice information between buyers and sellers. My preferred
247 solution would be to just transfer the invoice information directly
248 between seller and buyer, for example using SMTP, or some HTTP based
249 protocol like REST or SOAP. But this might also be overkill, as the
250 "electronic" information can be transferred using paper invoices too,
251 using a simple bar code. My bar code encoding of choice would be QR
252 codes, as this encoding can be read by any smart phone out there. The
253 content of the code could be anything, but I would go with
254 <a href=
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard">the vCard format
</a>, as
255 it too is supported by a lot of computer equipment these days.
</p>
257 <p>The vCard format support extentions, and the invoice specific
258 information can be included using such extentions. For example an
259 invoice from SLX Debian Labs (picked because we
260 <a href=
"http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html">ask
261 for donations to the Debian Edu project
</a> and thus have bank account
262 information publicly available) for NOK
1000.00 could have these extra
267 X-INVOICE-AMOUNT:NOK1000.00
268 X-INVOICE-KID:
123412341234
269 X-INVOICE-MSG:Donation to Debian Edu
270 X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER:
16040884339
271 X-BANK-IBAN-NUMBER:NO8516040884339
272 X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
275 <p>The X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER field was proposed in a stackoverflow
277 <a href=
"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10045664/storing-bank-account-in-vcard-file">how
278 to put bank account information into a vCard
</a>. For payments in
279 Norway, either X-INVOICE-KID (payment ID) or X-INVOICE-MSG could be
280 used to pass on information to the seller when paying the invoice.
</p>
282 <p>The complete vCard could look like this:

295 X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER:
16040884339
296 X-BANK-IBAN-NUMBER:NO8516040884339
297 X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
301 <p>The resulting QR code created using
302 <a href=
"http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/">qrencode
</a> would look
303 like this, and should be readable (and thus checkable) by any smart
304 phone, or for example the
<a href=
"http://zbar.sourceforge.net/">zbar
305 bar code reader
</a> and feed right into the approval and accounting
308 <p><img src=
"http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-02-12-qr-invoice.png"></p>
310 <p>The extension fields will most likely not show up in any normal
311 vCard reader, so those parts would have to go directly into a system
312 handling invoices. I am a bit unsure how vCards without name parts
313 are handled, but a simple test indicate that this work just fine.
</p>
315 <p><strong>Update
2013-

316 based on feedback from Sturle Sunde.

433 <p>With kids in the house, one challenge is getting them to sleep
434 during the night and wake up when it is morning. I mean, when I
435 believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier. In our household we
436 have decided that
07:
00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to
437 sleep until
07:
00 is a small challenge every day. They have adapted
438 quite well, and rarely wake up at
05:
00 any more, but some times wake
439 up at times like
05:
50,
06:
15,
06:
30 or
06:
45, and it is hard to put
440 the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest.
441 And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until
07:
00
442 some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or
443 after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.
</p>
445 <p>But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem. It
446 involve home automation. A few years ago I bought a
447 <a href=
"http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick">Tellstick
</a> and RF
448 switches at the local
<a href=
"http://www.clasohlson.com/">Clas
449 Ohlson
</a> shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical
450 gadgets using my Linux server. When I moved from the old flat to a
451 small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in
452 the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to
453 the gadgets I had. But recently I bought a
454 <a href=
"http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net">Tellstick
455 Net
</a> to be able to read sensor input as well as control power
456 sockets. I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes
457 to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding. The default
458 setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service,
459 which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build
461 <a href=
"http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware">firmware
462 with local access
</A> instead of being controlled by a Swedish
463 company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source
464 code. I plan to get that running before I let it control anything
465 important. But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for
466 the kids came to me yesterday. We can set up a night light controlled
467 by the computer, and turn it automatically on at
07:
00. The kids can
468 then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to
469 get up or not. They joined me in setting everything up, and I
470 repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they
471 remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.
</p>
473 <p>We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until
474 after
07:
00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the
475 "morning light" was turned on and signalled that the morning had
476 arrived. So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how
477 this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us
478 all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.
</p>
480 <p>A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when
481 to tell the kids to get up. We do not have to wait until
07:
00, and
482 can also delay it if we want to.
