-<p>På torsdag lanserte kartverket en ny nett-tjeneste kalt
-<a href="http://www.seeiendom.no/">Se Eiendom</a>, der en får innsyn i
-det norske eiendomsregisteret (Matrikkelen) og kan slå opp
-grunnleggende informasjon om hver eiendom. En kan slå opp et
-koordinat og finne ut hvilken eiendom punktet befinner se på og så slå
-opp eiendommen i matrikkelen og finne ut nøkkelinformasjon om
-eiendommen.</p>
-
-<p>Det slo meg at dette kan brukes til å gjenskape kommunegrenser, ved
-å slå opp punkter langs grenselinja og dermed bestemme hvor
-grenselinjen befinner seg. En kan bestemme den vilkårlig nøyaktig ved
-å gjøre et geometrisk søk.
-
-<p>Sniffet i kveld på trafikken til tjenesten, og det er i korte trekk
-tre relevante tjenestekall som returnerer JSON-data.</p>
-
-<p>Først en som konverterer mellom koordinater, som i mitt eksempel
-konverterer fra UTM sone 33 til UTM sone 32:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% GET 'http://www.seeiendom.no/services/geoport.svc/GetTransformJsonp?nord=6648308.4755859&ost=248316.38085938&fromEpsg=EPSG:32633&toEpsg=EPSG:32632'
-{"x":583905.90433579613,"y":6640700.79711847}
-%
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Koordinatene i UTM sone 32 kan så gis til tjenesten som slår opp
-eiendom basert på koordinat:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% echo | POST 'http://www.seeiendom.no/services/geoport.svc/PerformPropertySearchFromPolygonCoordinatesJsonp?polygonCoordinatesString=583905.9043357961,6640700.79711847'
-{"error":"","wfsTeigInfo":{"TeigId":128010625,"Areal":"6128.7","GardsNr":"300","BruksNr":"2384","FesteNr":"0","SeksjonsNr":"0","MatrikkelNr":"300/2384","HovedTeig":true,"KommuneNavn":"Bærum","Adresses":null,"ArealMerknadsKoder":null,"UregistrertJordsameie":false,"AvklartEiere":false,"TeigMedFlereMatrikkelEnheter":false,"Tvist":false,"KommuneNr":"0219"}}
-%
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Etter dette kallet har en kommunenavn og kommunenummer, noe som er
-tilstrekkelig til å gjenskape kommunegrenser. Hvis en ønsker å vite
-detaljene om eiendommen kan en slå opp i selve matrikkelen, og få ut
-en HTML-side med informasjon:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% GET 'http://www.seeiendom.no/services/Matrikkel.svc/GetDetailPage?type=property&knr=0219&gnr=300&bnr=2384&fnr=0&snr=0&showpwm=false&customer=kartverket'
-&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
-&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
- &lt;head>
- &lt;title>Matrikkel informasjon&lt;/title>
-[...]
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Informasjon om hva en kan hente ut ved hjelp av Matrikkel.svc er
-dokumentert og tilgjengelig på
-<a href="http://www.seeiendom.no/services/Matrikkel.svc/help">en egen
-hjelpeside</a>. Hvis en vil ha XML- eller JSON-formattert informasjon
-kan GetMatrikkelinfo-funksjonen brukes. Hvis en f.eks. bruker den slik
-får en masse informasjon om en eiendom:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% echo '{"knr": 1601, "gnr": 27, "bnr": 2, "fnr": 0, "snr": 0, "customer": "kartverket"}' | \
- POST -c application/json http://www.seeiendom.no/services/Matrikkel.svc/GetMatrikkelinfo
-[...]
-%
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Dette ser ut som en svært nyttig tjeneste som kan gjøre FiksGataMi
-mer treffsikker når den skal finne ut hvilken kommune og fylke som
-skal ha problemrapporter. Da eierinformasjon ikke er tilgjengelig, må
-vi i så fall bygge opp vår egen database over eiere av eiendommer
-knyttet til vei for å kunne skille på veinivå om kommune eller
-vegvesen skal ha beskjed. Har ikke funnet informasjon om hvilke
-bruksvilkår tjenesten har, så jeg er ennå ikke sikker på om dette er
-trygt å gjøre. Håper det blir klart etter hvert som tjenesten tar
-form.</p>
-
-<p>Tillegg 2011-06-24: Har oppdaget at en også kan hente ut geografisk
-beskrivelse av eiendommen (dvs. et polygon som omkretser eiendommen),
-ved hjelp av følgende forespørsel.</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-% echo | POST 'http://www.seeiendom.no/services/geoport.svc/GetPropertyBorderJsonp?kommunenr=1663&gardsnr=4&bruksnr=182&festenr=0&seksjonsnr=0&gateAdresseId=&address=&showPopUp=true'
-[...]
-%
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<p>Da blir det straks veldig nyttig for å klassifisere eierskap på
-veier og andre offentlige områder. Det er dog en eller annen feil som
-gjør at oppslag på store eiendommer (som Nordmarka i Oslo og
-Finnmarksvidda) ikke fungerer. Vet ikke hva det kommer av.</p>

+ <description><p>Inspired by <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.com/tag/interview/">the
+interview series</a> conducted by Raphael, I started a Norwegian
+interview series with people involved in the Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+community. This was so popular that I believe it is time to move to a
+more international audience.</p>
+
+<p>While <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and
+Skolelinux</a> originated in France and Norway, and have most users in
+Europe, there are users all around the globe. One of those far away
+from me is Nigel Barker, a long time Debian Edu system administrator
+and contributor. It is thanks to him that Debian Edu is adjusted to
+work out of the box in Japan. I got him to answer a few questions,
+and am happy to share the response with you. :)
+
+
+<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
+
+<p>My name is Nigel Barker, and I am British. I am married to Yumiko,
+and we have three lovely children, aged 15, 14 and 4(!) I am the IT
+Coordinator at Hiroshima International School, Japan. I am also a
+teacher, and in fact I spend most of my day teaching Mathematics,
+Science, IT, and Chemistry. I was originally a Chemistry teacher, but
+I have always had an interest in computers. Another teacher teaches
+primary school IT, but apart from that I am the only computer person,
+so that means I am the network manager, technician and webmaster,
+also, and I help people with their computer problems. I teach python
+to beginners in an after-school club. I am way too busy, so I really
+appreciate the simplicity of Skolelinux.</p>
+
+<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
+project?</strong></p>
+
+<p>In around 2004 or 5 I discovered the ltsp project, and set up a
+server in the IT lab. I wanted some way to connect it to our central
+samba server, which I was also quite poor at configuring. I discovered
+Edubuntu when it came out, but it didn't really improve my setup. I
+did various desperate searches for things like "school Linux server"
+and ended up in a document called "Drift" something or other. Reading
+there it became clear that Skolelinux was going to solve all my
+problems in one go. I was very excited, but apprehensive, because my
+previous attempts to install Debian had ended in failure (I used
+Mandrake for everything - ltsp, samba, apache, mail, ns...). I
+downloaded a beta version, had some problems, so subscribed to the
+Debian Edu list for help. I have remained subscribed ever since, and
+my school has run a Skolelinux network since Sarge.</p>
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>For me the integrated setup. This is not just the server, or the
+workstation, or the ltsp. Its all of them, and its all configured
+ready to go. I read somewhere in the early documentation that it is
+designed to be setup and managed by the Maths or Science teacher, who
+doesn't necessarily know much about computers, in a small Norwegian
+school. That describes me perfectly if you replace Norway with
+Japan.</p>
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>The desktop is fairly plain. If you compare it with Edubuntu, who
+have fun themes for children, or with distributions such as Mint, who
+make the desktop beautiful. They create a good impression on people
+who don't need to understand how to use any of it, but who might be
+important to the school. School administrators or directors, for
+instance, or parents. Even kids. Debian itself usually has ugly
+default theme settings. It was my dream a few years back that some
+kind of integration would allow Edubuntu to do the desktop stuff and
+Debian Edu the servers, but now I realise how impossible that is. A
+second disadvantage is that if something goes wrong, or you need to
+customise something, then suddenly the level of expertise required
+multiplies. For example, backup wasn't working properly in Lenny. It
+took me ages to learn how to set up my own server to do rsync backups.
+I am afraid of anything to do with ldap, but perhaps Gosa will
+help.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Nowadays I only use Debian on my personal computers. I have one for
+studio work (I play guitar and write songs), running AV Linux
+(customised Debian) a netbook running Squeeze, and a bigger laptop
+still running Skolelinux Lenny workstation. I have a Tjener in my
+house, that's very useful for the family photos and music. At school
+the students only use Skolelinux. (Some teachers and the office still
+have windows). So that means we only use free software all day every
+day. Open office, The GIMP, Firefox/Iceweasel, VLC and Audacity are
+installed on every computer in school, irrespective of OS. We also
+have Koha on Debian for the library, and Apache, Moodle, b2evolution
+and Etomite on Debian for the www. The firewall is Untangle.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Current trends are in our favour. Open source is big in industry,
+and ordinary people have heard of it. The spread of Android and the
+popularity of Apple have helped to weaken the impression that you have
+to have Microsoft on everything. People complain to me much less about
+file formats and Word than they did 5 years ago. The Edu aspect is
+also a selling point. This is all customised for schools. Where is the
+Windows-edu, or the Mac-edu? But of course the main attraction is
+budget.The trick is to convince people that the quality is not
+compromised when you stop paying and use free software instead. That
+is one reason why I say the desktop experience is a weakness. People
+are not impressed when their USB drive doesn't work, or their browser
+doesn't play flash, for example.</p>
