+<p>Where I work at the University of Oslo, one decision stand out as a
+very good one to form a long lived computer infrastructure.  It is the
+simple one, lost by many in todays computer industry: Standardize on
+open network protocols and open exchange/storage formats, not applications.
+Applications come and go, while protocols and files tend to stay, and
+thus one want to make it easy to change application and vendor, while
+avoiding conversion costs and locking users to a specific platform or
+application.</p>
+
+<p>This approach make it possible to replace the client applications
+independently of the server applications.  One can even allow users to
+use several different applications as long as they handle the selected
+protocol and format.  In the normal case, only one client application
+is recommended and users only get help if they choose to use this
+application, but those that want to deviate from the easy path are not
+blocked from doing so.</p>
+
+<p>It also allow us to replace the server side without forcing the
+users to replace their applications, and thus allow us to select the
+best server implementation at any moment, when scale and resouce
+requirements change.</p>
+
+<p>I strongly recommend standardizing - on open network protocols and
+open formats, but I would never recommend standardizing on a single
+application that do not use open network protocol or open formats.</p>

-<p>Etter mange års meditasjon over temaet, har NUUG endelig klart å
-bestemme seg for hvilken lisens vi skal bruke på videoopptakene som
-gjøres av NUUGs videogruppe.  Ole Kristian har annonsert at lisensen
-blir <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/no/">Creative
-Commons Navngivelse-Del på samme vilkår 3.0 Norge</a>.  Jeg er veldig
-glad for at denne saken endelig er landet.  Lisensen for opptaket til
-Stallman-foredraget ble en annen pga. at lisensvalget ikke var avklart
-på forhånd og IFI og PING ønsket CC-BY-ND, og må ses på som et unntak
-i denne sammenhengen.</p>
