  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Did you know there is a TV channel broadcasting talks from DebConf
  15 16 across an entire country?  Or that there is a TV channel
  16 broadcasting talks by or about
  17 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625529/&quot;&gt;Linus Torvalds&lt;/a&gt;,
  18 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625599/&quot;&gt;Tor&lt;/a&gt;,
  19 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/624019/&quot;&gt;OpenID&lt;/A&gt;,
  20 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625624/&quot;&gt;Common Lisp&lt;/a&gt;,
  21 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625446/&quot;&gt;Civic Tech&lt;/a&gt;,
  22 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625090/&quot;&gt;EFF founder John Barlow&lt;/a&gt;,
  23 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625432/&quot;&gt;how to make 3D
  24 printer electronics&lt;/a&gt; and many more fascinating topics?  It works
  25 using only free software (all of it
  26 &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/Frikanalen&quot;&gt;available from Github&lt;/a&gt;), and
  27 is administrated using a web browser and a web API.&lt;/p&gt;
  28
  29 &lt;p&gt;The TV channel is the Norwegian open channel
  30 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;, and I am involved
  31 via &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;the NUUG member association&lt;/a&gt; in
  32 running and developing the software for the channel.  The channel is
  33 organised as a member organisation where its members can upload and
  34 broadcast what they want (think of it as Youtube for national
  35 broadcasting television).  Individuals can broadcast too.  The time
  36 slots are handled on a first come, first serve basis.  Because the
  37 channel have almost no viewers and very few active members, we can
  38 experiment with TV technology without too much flack when we make
  39 mistakes.  And thanks to the few active members, most of the slots on
  40 the schedule are free.  I see this as an opportunity to spread
  41 knowledge about technology and free software, and have a script I run
  42 regularly to fill up all the open slots the next few days with
  43 technology related video.  The end result is a channel I like to
  44 describe as Techno TV - filled with interesting talks and
  45 presentations.&lt;/p&gt;
  46
  47 &lt;p&gt;It is available on channel 50 on the Norwegian national digital TV
  48 network (RiksTV).  It is also available as a multicast stream on
  49 Uninett.  And finally, it is available as
  50 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;a WebM unicast stream&lt;/a&gt; from
  51 Frikanalen and NUUG.  Check it out. :)&lt;/p&gt;
