-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you want to set up your own TV station, schedule videos and
-broadcast them on the air?  Using free software?  With video on demand
-support using
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition&quot;&gt;free and
-open standards&lt;/a&gt;?  Included a web based video stream as well?  And
-administrate it all in your web browser from anywhere in the world?  A
-few years now the Norwegian public access TV-channel
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt; have been building a
-system to do just this.  The source code for the solution is licensed
-using the GNU LGPL, and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/Frikanalen&quot;&gt;available from github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The idea is simple.  You upload a video file over the web, and
-attach meta information to the file.  You select a time slot in the
-program schedule, and when the time come it is played on the air and
-in the web stream.  It is also made available in a video on demand
-solution for anyone to see it also outside its scheduled time.  All
-you need to run a TV station - using your web browser.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;There are several parts to this web based solution.  I&#39;ll mention
-the three most important ones.  The first part is the database of
-videos and the schedule.  This is written in Django and include a REST
-API.  The current database is SQLite, but the plan is to migrate it to
-PostgreSQL.  At the moment this system can be tested on
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/&quot;&gt;beta.frikanalen.tv&lt;/a&gt;.  The
-second part is the video playout, taking the schedule information from
-the database and providing a video stream to broadcast.  This is done
-using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.casparcg.com/&quot;&gt;CasparCG from SVT&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mltframework.org/&quot;&gt;Media Lovin&#39; Toolkit&lt;/a&gt;.  Video
-signal distribution is handled using
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ob-encoder.com/&quot;&gt;Open Broadcast Encoder&lt;/a&gt;.  The
-third part is the converter, handling the transformation of uploaded
-video files to a format useful for broadcasting, streaming and video
-on demand.  It is still very much work in progress, so it is not yet
-decided what it will end up using.  Note that the source of the latter
-two parts are not yet pushed to github.  The lead author want to clean
-them up a bit more first.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The development is coordinated on the
-&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23frikanalen&quot;&gt;#frikanalen IRC
-channel&lt;/a&gt; (irc.freenode.net), and discussed on
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/frikanalen&quot;&gt;the
-frikanalen mailing list&lt;/a&gt;. The lead developer is Benjamin Bruheim
-(phed on IRC).  Anyone is welcome to participate in the
-development.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The fourth wheezy based alpha release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
+today.  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~alpha3 released
+2013-07-03&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+7.1+edu0~alpha3, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
+Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
+out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
+network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
+services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
+and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
+environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
+the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
+installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
+database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
+directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
+desktop contains
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
+than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
+the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
+and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is the fourth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
+this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
+Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Dropped ispell dictionaries from our default installation.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Dropped menu-xdg from the KDE desktop option, to drop the Debian
+    submenu.  It was not included with Gnome, LXDE or Xfce, so this
+    brings KDE in line with the others.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Dropped xdrawchem, xjig and xsok from our default installation as
+    they don&#39;t have a desktop menu entry and thus won&#39;t show up in the
+    menu now that menu-xdg was removed.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Removed the killer system to kill left behind processes on
+    multi-user machines, as it was no longer able to understand when a
+    X display was in use and killed the processes of the active users
+    too.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Dropped the golearn (from goplay) package as the debtags in wheezy
+    are too few to make the package useful.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Updated artwork matching http://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/Joy
+  &lt;li&gt;Multi-arch i386/amd64 USB stick ISO available.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Got rid of ispell/wordlist related debconf questions that showed
+    up for some language options.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Switched to using http.debian.net as APT source by default.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Fixed proxy configuration on Main Server installations.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Changed LTSP setup to ask dpkg to use force-unsafe-io the same way
+    d-i is doing it.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Made sure root and user passwords were not left behind in the
+    debconf database after installation on Main Server installations.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Made Roaming Workstation dynamic setup more robust and added draft
+    script setup-ad-client to hook a Roaming Workstation up to a
+    Active Directory server instead of a Debian Edu Main Server.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Update system to install needed firmware packages during
+    installation, to work properly in Wheezy.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Update system to handle hardware quirks (debian-edu-hwsetup).&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Corrected PXE installation setup to properly pass selected desktop
+    and keymap settings to PXE installation clients.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;LTSP diskless workstations use sshfs by default, allowing them to
+    work without adding them to DNS and NIS netgroups for NFS access.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;No mass import of user account data in GOsa (ldif or csv)
+    available yet (698840).&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Artwork not enabled for all desktops.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

-founder of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fsf.org/&quot;&gt;Free Software Foundation&lt;/a&gt;,
-is giving &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/&quot;&gt;a
-talk in Oslo March 1st 2013 17:00 to 19:00&lt;/a&gt;.  The event is public
-and organised by &lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;Norwegian Unix Users Group (NUUG)&lt;/a&gt;
-(where I am the chair of the board) and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.friprog.no/&quot;&gt;The Norwegian Open Source Competence
-Center&lt;/a&gt;.  The title of the talk is «The Free Software Movement and
-GNU», with this description:
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-The Free Software Movement campaigns for computer users&#39; freedom to
-cooperate and control their own computing. The Free Software Movement
-developed the GNU operating system, typically used together with the
-kernel Linux, specifically to make these freedoms possible.
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The meeting is open for everyone.  Due to space limitations, the
-doors opens for NUUG members at 16:15, and everyone else at 16:45.  I
-am really curious how many will show up.  See
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/&quot;&gt;the event

+               <title>Automatically locate and install required firmware packages on Debian (Isenkram 0.4)</title>
+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Automatically_locate_and_install_required_firmware_packages_on_Debian__Isenkram_0_4_.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Automatically_locate_and_install_required_firmware_packages_on_Debian__Isenkram_0_4_.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:50:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;It annoys me when the computer fail to do automatically what it is
+perfectly capable of, and I have to do it manually to get things
+working.  One such task is to find out what firmware packages are
+needed to get the hardware on my computer working.  Most often this
+affect the wifi card, but some times it even affect the RAID
+controller or the ethernet card.  Today I pushed version 0.4 of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/isenkram&quot;&gt;Isenkram package&lt;/a&gt;
+including a new script isenkram-autoinstall-firmware handling the
+process of asking all the loaded kernel modules what firmware files
+they want, find debian packages providing these files and install the
+debian packages.  Here is a test run on my laptop:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+# isenkram-autoinstall-firmware 
+info: kernel drivers requested extra firmware: ipw2200-bss.fw ipw2200-ibss.fw ipw2200-sniffer.fw
+info: fetching http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/squeeze/Contents-i386.gz
+info: locating packages with the requested firmware files
+info: Updating APT sources after adding non-free APT source
+info: trying to install firmware-ipw2x00
+firmware-ipw2x00
+firmware-ipw2x00
+Preconfiguring packages ...
+Selecting previously deselected package firmware-ipw2x00.
+(Reading database ... 259727 files and directories currently installed.)
+Unpacking firmware-ipw2x00 (from .../firmware-ipw2x00_0.28+squeeze1_all.deb) ...
+Setting up firmware-ipw2x00 (0.28+squeeze1) ...
+# 
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When all the requested firmware is present, a simple message is
+printed instead:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+# isenkram-autoinstall-firmware 
+info: did not find any firmware files requested by loaded kernel modules.  exiting
+# 
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It could use some polish, but it is already working well and saving
+me some time when setting up new machines. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So, how does it work?  It look at the set of currently loaded
+kernel modules, and look up each one of them using modinfo, to find
+the firmware files listed in the module meta-information.  Next, it
+download the Contents file from a nearby APT mirror, and search for
+the firmware files in this file to locate the package with the
+requested firmware file.  If the package is in the non-free section, a
+non-free APT source is added and the package is installed using
+&lt;tt&gt;apt-get install&lt;/tt&gt;.  The end result is a slightly better working
+machine.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I hope someone find time to implement a more polished version of
+this script as part of the hw-detect debian-installer module, to
+finally fix &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/655507&quot;&gt;BTS report
+#655507&lt;/a&gt;.  There really is no need to insert USB sticks with
+firmware during a PXE install when the packages already are available
+from the nearby Debian mirror.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <title>Skolelinux-intervju: Helge Tore Høyland</title>
-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Skolelinux_intervju__Helge_Tore_H_yland.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Skolelinux_intervju__Helge_Tore_H_yland.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Fri, 22 Feb 2013 08:10:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Etter en lang pause og travle uker har jeg endelig klart å få
-samlet et nytt intervju med en av folkene i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;-miljøet.
-Denne gang er det Helge Tore Høyland, en mangeårig bidragsyter på
-epostlistene og ellers i prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Eg er IT-konsulent/teknikker hjå eit firma i Steinkjer med navn
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://unoit.no/&quot;&gt;Uno IT&lt;/a&gt;.  Uno IT er eit lite firma som
-drifter nettverk og maskiner for små og mellomstore firma
-Steinkjer-området. Per dags dato er me 2 ansatte. Min faglege bakgrunn
-er Fagbrev som it-teknikker, samt nokre fag innen nettverk- og
-server-drift frå HiST og NTNU. Dagleg arbeid består i oppsett av nye
-maskiner og hjelp til sluttbrukere, samt oppsett og vedlikehold av eit
-vidt spekter av fagsystemer ute hjå kunder. Erfaring med Skolelinux
-har eg hatt i forbindelse med drifting av
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bjorkly.no/&quot;&gt;Bjørkly skule&lt;/a&gt;, ein privat
-grunnskule i Namsos-området.  I dag har skulen 65 elever, 15 lærere, 1
-hovedserver og ca 60 klienter som kjører halvtjukt.  Eg har bygd og
-driftet systemet sidan summaren 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Eg kom i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet via ein artikkel i eit
-fagblad, som eg ikkje lenger hugsar namnet på.  I og med at eg allereie
-hadde pusla med nettverk for ein annan skule, fatta eg straks
-interesse for prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Fordelane med Skolelinux er sentralisert administrasjon og svært
-mange gode verktøy «ut av boksen». Veldig kjekt å kunne drifte 60
-klientar med berre å «bry» seg med ein server. Levetid for systemets
-hardware er og ein veldig fin effekt. I tillegg kjem fordelar som økt
-sikkerhet og mindre lisenskostnader. Etter min erfaring er det og
-mykje mindre driftskostnader med eit slikt system enn konkurrerande
-system, pga enkelhet med sentralisert administrasjon. På grunn av at
-Skolelinux er basert på Debian er det òg svært stabilt.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Ulemper er mangel på vilje til å følge standarer ute i markedet,
-som fører til mangel på støtte til nokre mykje brukte ting. Flash og
-Java er typiske eksempel. Sidan Debian satsar på stabilitet framfor å
-ha nyeste pakke av eit program, kan ein i nokre tilfeller kome borti
-at program vert «for gamle». Det er spesielt nettlesaren som er
-utsett. Mangel på vilje til å utvikle pedagogisk programvare, i Noreg,
-for «alle» platformer fører òg til noko hovudbry.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Til dagleg bruker eg svært mange forskjellige «fri programvare»
-program.  Firefox, Thunderbird, Freecommander, ImgBurn, Clonezilla,
-OCS inventory, Icinga, Skolelinux, SystemRescueCD og mykje meir.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
-skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Strategisk må ein fokusere på at sluttbruker eigentleg ikkje er så
-fokusert på at det er fri programvare men at det skal «berre fungere».
-Gjer det enkelt å bruker og ikkje minst å administrere. For Skolelinux
-sin del må ein få eit betre fokus på overganger. Utbytting av servere
-må gå meir automatisk, import og eksport av brukerbase og maskinbase
-med meir må kunne gå enkelt og oppgradering til neste versjon må bli
-mykje meir automatisk og gjennomtesta. Ein må unngå at ein må sette
-opp frå start når ein byter ut ein server eller oppgraderer til neste
-versjon. For å få Skolelinux til å bli eit betre alternativ for skular
-må ein ha fokus på nettlesaren. Denne må bli «up to date» og støtte
-dei protokollar og tillegg som vert brukt av forlag med meir.  Etter
-kvart som meir og meir blir flytta ut i «skya» vert dette viktigare og
-viktigare. Ein kunne ynskje og jobbe for at forlag med fleire tar i
-bruk opne standarer, men inntil det skjer, må systemet kunne brukast
-mot desse fagsystema.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;For meg har prosjektet med Skolelinux vore ein svært artig og
-lærerik prosess. Miljøet rundt er ikkje enormt stort, dog stort nok,
-men det er svært hjelpevillig og engasjert.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
+Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; project, we include a post-installation test suite,
+which check that services are running, working, and return the
+expected results.  It runs automatically just after the first boot on
+test installations (using test ISOs), but not on production
+installations (using non-test ISOs).  It test that the LDAP service is
+operating, Kerberos is responding, DNS is replying, file systems are
+online resizable, etc, etc.  And it check that the PXE service is
+configured, which is the topic of this post.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The last week I&#39;ve fixed the DVD and USB stick ISOs for our Debian
+Edu Wheezy release.  These ISOs are supposed to be able to install a
+complete system without any Internet connection, but for that to
+happen all the needed packages need to be on them.  Thanks to our test
+suite, I discovered that we had forgotten to adjust our PXE setup to
+cope with the new names and paths used by the netboot d-i packages.
+When Internet connectivity was available, the installer fall back to
+using wget to fetch d-i boot images, but when offline it require
+working packages to get it working.  And ad the packages changed name
+from debian-installer-6.0-netboot-$arch to
+debian-installer-7.0-netboot-$arch, we no longer pulled in the
+packages during installation.  Without our test suite, I suspect we
+would never have discovered this before release.  Now it is fixed
+right after we got the ISOs operational.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Another by-product of the test suite is that we can ask system
+administrators with problems getting Debian Edu to work, to run the
+test suite using &lt;tt&gt;/usr/sbin/debian-edu-test-install&lt;/tt&gt; and see if
+any errors are detected.  This usually pinpoint the subsystem causing
+the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to help us help kids learn how to share and create,
+please join us on
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu on
+irc.debian.org&lt;/a&gt; and the

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;If you, like me, want an updated a map for your Garmin GPS, there is
-now a great source of free maps available from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikart.no/garmin/index.html&quot;&gt;Frikart&lt;/a&gt;.  To
-download a map, just click on the country you are interested in, and
-download the map type you want.  There are 8 different maps available,
-using different colours and data selection.  Pick one of Roadmap, Topo
-Summer, Topo Winter, Roadmap II, Topo Summer II, Topo Winter II,
-&quot;Trails - overlay map&quot; and &quot;Cross country - overlay map&quot; (see the web
-page for descriptions).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The maps are updated weekly, so if you find something wrong in the
-map you can just edit the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/&quot;&gt;OpenStreetmap&lt;/a&gt; map source
-(anyone can contribute) and fetch a fixed map a week later. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:50:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and
+Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; distribution have users and contributors all around the
+globe.  And a while back, an enterprising young man showed up on
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu&quot;&gt;our IRC channel
+#debian-edu&lt;/a&gt; and started asking questions about how Debian Edu
+worked.  We answered as good as we could, and even convinced him to
+help us with translations.  And today I managed to get an interview
+with him, to learn more about him.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m a 25 year old free software enthusiast, living in Romania,
+which is also my country of origin. Back in 2009, at a New Year&#39;s Eve
+party, I had a very nice &lt;strike&gt;beer&lt;/strike&gt; discussion with a
+friend, when we realized we have no organised Debian community in our
+country. A few days later, we put together the infrastructure for such
+community and even gathered a nice Debian-ish crowd. Since then, I
+began my quest as a free software hacker and activist and I am
+constantly trying to cover as much ground as possible on that
+field.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;A few years ago I founded a small web development company, which
+provided me the flexible schedule I needed so much for my
+activities. For the last 13 months, I have been the Technical Director
+of &lt;a href=&quot;http://ceata.org/&quot;&gt;Fundația Ceata&lt;/a&gt;, which is a free
+software activist organisation endorsed by the FSF and the FSFE, and
+the only one we have in our country.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
+project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The idea of participating in the Debian Edu project was a surprise
+even to me, since I never used it before I began getting involved in
+it. This year I had a great opportunity to deliver a talk on
+educational software, and I knew immediately where to look. It was a
+love at first sight, since I was previously involved with some of the
+technologies the project incorporates, and I rapidly found a lot of
+ways to contribute.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My first contributions consisted in translating the installer and
+configuration dialogs, then I found some bugs to squash (I still
+haven&#39;t fixed them yet though), and I even got my eyes on some other
+areas where I can prove myself helpful. Since the appetite for free
+software in my country is pretty low, I&#39;ll be happy to be the first
+one around here advocating for the project&#39;s adoption in educational
+environments, and maybe even get my hands dirty in creating a flavour
+for our own needs. I am not used to make very advanced plannings, so
+from now on, time will tell what I&#39;ll be doing next, but I think I
+have a pretty consistent starting point.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Not a long time ago, I was in the position of configuring and
+maintaining a LDAP server on some Debian derivative, and I must say it
+took me a while. A long time ago, I was maintaining a bigger
+Samba-powered infrastructure, and I must say I spent quite a lot of
+time on it. I have similar stories about many of the services included
+with Skolelinux, and the main advantage I see about it is the
+out-of-the box availability of them, making it quite competitive when
+it comes to managing a school&#39;s network, for example.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Of course, there is more to say about Skolelinux than the
+availability of the software included, its flexibility in various
+scenarios is something I can&#39;t wait to experiment &quot;into the wild&quot; (I
+only played with virtual machines so far). And I am sure there is a
+lot more I haven&#39;t discovered yet about it, being so new within the
+project.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As usual, when it comes to Debian Blends, I see as the biggest
+disadvantage the lack of a numerous team dedicated to the
+project. Every day I see the same names in the changelogs, and I have
+a constantly fear of the bus factor in this story.  I&#39;d like to see
+Debian Edu advertised more as an entry point into the Debian
+ecosystem, especially amongst newcomers and students. IMHO there are a
+lot low-hanging fruits in terms of bug squashing, and enough
+opportunities to get the feeling of the Debian Project&#39;s dynamics. Not
+to mention it&#39;s a very fun blend to work on!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Derived from the previous statement, is the delay in catching up
+with the main Debian release and documentation. This is common though
+to all blends and derivatives, but it&#39;s an issue we can all work
+on.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I can hardly imagine myself spending a day without Vim, since my
+daily routine covers writing code and hacking configuration files. I
+am a fan of the Awesome window manager (but I also like the
+Enlightenment project a lot!),
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.claws-mail.org/‎&quot;&gt;Claws Mail&lt;/a&gt; due to its ease of
+use and very configurable behaviour. Recently I fell in love with
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/redshift&quot;&gt;Redshift&lt;/a&gt;, which helps me
+get through the night without headaches. Of course, there is much more
+stuff in this bag, but I&#39;ll need a blog on my own for doing this!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Well, on this field, I cannot do much more than experiment right
+now. So, being far from having a recipe for success, I can only assume
+that:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;schools would like to get rid of proprietary software&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;students will love the openness of the system, and will want to
+    experiment with it - maybe we need to harvest the native curiosity
+    of teenagers more?&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;there is no &quot;right one&quot; when it comes to strategies, but it would
+    be useful to have some success stories published somewhere, so
+    other can get some inspiration from them (I know I&#39;d promote
+    them!)&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;more active promotion - talks, conferences, even small school
+    lectures can do magical things if they encounter at least one
+    person interested. Who knows who that person might be? ;-)&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I also see some problems in getting Skolelinux into schools; for
+example, in our country we have a great deal of corruption issues, so
+it might be hard(er) to fight against proprietary solutions. Also,
+people who relied on commercial software for all their lives, would be
+very hard to convert against their will.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Here in Norway, electronic invoices are spreading, and the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.anskaffelser.no/e-handel/faktura&quot;&gt;solution promoted
-by the Norwegian government&lt;/a&gt; require that invoices are sent through
-one of the approved facilitators, and it is not possible to send
-electronic invoices without an agreement with one of these
-facilitators.  This seem like a needless limitation to be able to
-transfer invoice information between buyers and sellers.  My preferred
-solution would be to just transfer the invoice information directly
-between seller and buyer, for example using SMTP, or some HTTP based
-protocol like REST or SOAP.  But this might also be overkill, as the
-&quot;electronic&quot; information can be transferred using paper invoices too,
-using a simple bar code.  My bar code encoding of choice would be QR
-codes, as this encoding can be read by any smart phone out there.  The
-content of the code could be anything, but I would go with
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard&quot;&gt;the vCard format&lt;/a&gt;, as
-it too is supported by a lot of computer equipment these days.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The vCard format support extentions, and the invoice specific
-information can be included using such extentions.  For example an
-invoice from SLX Debian Labs (picked because we
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html&quot;&gt;ask
-for donations to the Debian Edu project&lt;/a&gt; and thus have bank account
-information publicly available) for NOK 1000.00 could have these extra
-fields:&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;There is a certain cross-over between the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.edubuntu.org/&quot;&gt;the Edubuntu
+project&lt;/a&gt;, and for example the LTSP packages in Debian are a joint
+effort between the projects.  One person with a foot in both camps is
+Jonathan Carter, which I am now happy to present to you.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m a South-African free software geek who lives in Cape Town. My
+days vary quite a bit since I&#39;m involved in too many things. As I&#39;m
+getting older I&#39;m learning how to focus a bit more :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m also an Edubuntu contributor and I love when there are
+opportunities for the Edubuntu and Debian Edu projects to benefit from
+each other.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
+project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been somewhat familiar with the project before, but I think my
+first direct exposure to the project was when I met Petter
+[Reinholdtsen] and Knut [Yrvin] at the Edubuntu summit in 2005 in
+London. They provided great feedback that helped the bootstrapping of
+Edubuntu. Back then Edubuntu (and even Ubuntu) was still very new and
+it was great getting input from people who have been around longer. I
+was also still very excitable and said yes to everything and to this
+day I have a big todo list backlog that I&#39;m catching up with. I think
+over the years the relationship between Edubuntu and Debian-Edu has
+been gradually improving, although I think there&#39;s a lot that we could
+still improve on in terms of working together on packages. I&#39;m sure
+we&#39;ll get there one day.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Debian itself already has so many advantages. I could go on about
+it for pages, but in essence I love that it&#39;s a very honest project
+that puts its users first with no hidden agendas and also produces
+very high quality work.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I think the advantage of Debian Edu is that it makes many common
+set-up tasks simpler so that administrators can get up and running
+with a lot less effort and frustration. At the same time I think it
+helps to standardise installations in schools so that it&#39;s easier for
+community members and commercial suppliers to support.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I had to re-type this one a few times because I&#39;m trying to
+separate &quot;disadvantages&quot; from &quot;areas that need improvement&quot; (which is
+what I originally rambled on about)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The biggest disadvantage I can think of is lack of manpower. The
+project could do so much more if there were more good contributors. I
+think some of the problems are external too. Free software and free
+content in education is a no-brainer but it takes some time to catch
+on. When you&#39;ve been working with the same proprietary eco-system for
+years and have gotten used to it, it can be hard to adjust to some
+concepts in the free software world. It would be nice if there were
+more Debian Edu consultants across the world. I&#39;d love to be one
+myself but I&#39;m already so over-committed that it&#39;s just not possible
+currently.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I think the best short-term solution to that large-scale problem is
+for schools to be pro-active and share their experiences and grow
+their skills in-house. I&#39;m often saddened to see how much money
+educational institutions spend on 3rd party solutions that they don&#39;t
+have access to after the service has ended and they could&#39;ve gotten so
+much more value otherwise by being more self-sustainable and
+autonomous.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My main laptop dual-boots between Debian and Windows 7. I was
+Windows free for years but started dual-booting again last year for
+some games which help me focus and relax (Starcraft II in
+particular). Gaming support on Linux is improving in leaps and bounds
+so I suppose I&#39;ll soon be able to regain that disk space :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Besides that I rely on Icedove, Chromium, Terminator, Byobu, irssi,
+git, Tomboy, KVM, VLC and LibreOffice. Recently I&#39;ve been torn on
+which desktop environment I like and I&#39;m taking some refuge in Xfce
+while I figure that out. I like tools that keep things simple. I enjoy
+Python and shell scripting. I went to an Arduino workshop recently and
+it was awesome seeing how easy and simple the IDE software was to get
+up and running in Debian compared to the users running Windows and OS
+X.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I also use mc which some people frown upon slightly. I got used to
+using Norton Commander in the early 90&#39;s and it stuck (I think the
+people who sneer at it is just jealous that they don&#39;t know how to use
+it :p)
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I think trying to force it is unproductive. I also think that in
+many cases it&#39;s appropriate for schools to use non-free systems and I
+don&#39;t think that there&#39;s any particular moral or ethical problem with
+that.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I do think though that free software can already solve so so many
+problems in educational institutions and it&#39;s just a shame not taking
+advantage of that.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I also think that some curricula need serious review. For example,
+some areas of the world rely heavily on very specific versions of MS
+Office, teaching students to parrot menu items instead of learning the
+general concepts. I think that&#39;s very unproductive because firstly, MS
+Office&#39;s interface changes drastically every few years and on top of
+that it also locks in a generation to a product that might not be the
+best solution for them.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To answer your question, I believe that the right strategy is to
+educate and inform, giving someone the information they require to
+make a decision that would work for them.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fixing_the_Linux_black_screen_of_death_on_machines_with_Intel_HD_video.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fixing_the_Linux_black_screen_of_death_on_machines_with_Intel_HD_video.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;When installing RedHat, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu on some machines,
+the screen just turn black when Linux boot, either during installation
+or on first boot from the hard disk.  I&#39;ve seen it once in a while the
+last few years, but only recently understood the cause.  I&#39;ve seen it
+on HP laptops, and on my latest acquaintance the Packard Bell laptop.
+The reason seem to be in the wiring of some laptops.  The system to
+control the screen background light is inverted, so when Linux try to
+turn the brightness fully on, it end up turning it off instead.  I do
+not know which Linux drivers are affected, but this post is about the
+i915 driver used by the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv&quot;&gt;Packard Bell
+EasyNote LV&lt;/a&gt;, Thinkpad X40 and many other laptops.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The problem can be worked around two ways.  Either by adding
+i915.invert_brightness=1 as a kernel option, or by adding a file in
+/etc/modprobe.d/ to tell modprobe to add the invert_brightness=1
+option when it load the i915 kernel module.  On Debian and Ubuntu, it
+can be done by running these commands as root:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+echo options i915 invert_brightness=1 | tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
+update-initramfs -u -k all
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Since March 2012 there is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4dca20efb1a9c2efefc28ad2867e5d6c3f5e1955&quot;&gt;a
+mechanism in the Linux kernel&lt;/a&gt; to tell the i915 driver which
+hardware have this problem, and get the driver to invert the
+brightness setting automatically.  To use it, one need to add a row in

-to put bank account information into a vCard&lt;/a&gt;.  For payments in
-Norway, either X-INVOICE-KID (payment ID) or X-INVOICE-MSG could be
-used to pass on information to the seller when paying the invoice.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The complete vCard could look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The resulting intel_quirks entry would then look like this:&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;The resulting QR code created using

-like this, and should be readable (and thus checkable) by any smart

-
-&lt;p&gt;The extension fields will most likely not show up in any normal
-vCard reader, so those parts would have to go directly into a system
-handling invoices.  I am a bit unsure how vCards without name parts
-are handled, but a simple test indicate that this work just fine.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2013-02-12 11:30&lt;/strong&gt;: Added KID to the proposal
-based on feedback from Sturle Sunde.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;According to the kernel module instructions (as seen using
+&lt;tt&gt;modinfo i915&lt;/tt&gt;), information about hardware needing the
+invert_brightness flag should be sent to the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel&quot;&gt;dri-devel
+(at) lists.freedesktop.org&lt;/a&gt; mailing list to reach the kernel
+developers.  But my email about the laptop sent 2013-06-03 have not
+yet shown up in
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-June/thread.html&quot;&gt;the
+web archive for the mailing list&lt;/a&gt;, so I suspect they do not accept
+emails from non-subscribers.  Because of this, I sent my patch also to
+the Debian bug tracking system instead as
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/710938&quot;&gt;BTS report #710938&lt;/a&gt;, to make
+sure the patch is not lost.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, it is not enough to fix the kernel to get Laptops
+with this problem working properly with Linux.  If you use Gnome, your
+worries should be over at this point.  But if you use KDE, there is
+something in KDE ignoring the invert_brightness setting and turning on
+the screen during login.  I&#39;ve reported it to Debian as
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/711237&quot;&gt;BTS report #711237&lt;/a&gt;, and
+have no idea yet how to figure out exactly what subsystem is doing
+this.  Perhaps you can help?  Perhaps you know what the Gnome
+developers did to handle this, and this can give a clue to the KDE
+developers?  Or you know where in KDE the screen brightness is changed
+during login?  If so, please update the BTS report (or get in touch if
+you do not know how to update BTS).&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;left&quot; style=&quot;margin-right:25px;&quot; src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-02-10-morning-light.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;With kids in the house, one challenge is getting them to sleep
-during the night and wake up when it is morning.  I mean, when I
-believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier.  In our household we
-have decided that 07:00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to
-sleep until 07:00 is a small challenge every day.  They have adapted
-quite well, and rarely wake up at 05:00 any more, but some times wake
-up at times like 05:50, 06:15, 06:30 or 06:45, and it is hard to put
-the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest.
-And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until 07:00
-some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or
-after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem.  It
-involve home automation.  A few years ago I bought a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick&quot;&gt;Tellstick&lt;/a&gt; and RF
-switches at the local &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clasohlson.com/&quot;&gt;Clas
-Ohlson&lt;/a&gt; shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical
-gadgets using my Linux server.  When I moved from the old flat to a
-small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in
-the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to
-the gadgets I had.  But recently I bought a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net&quot;&gt;Tellstick
-Net&lt;/a&gt; to be able to read sensor input as well as control power
-sockets.  I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes
-to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding.  The default
-setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service,
-which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build
-ones own
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware&quot;&gt;firmware
-with local access&lt;/A&gt; instead of being controlled by a Swedish
-company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source
-code.  I plan to get that running before I let it control anything
-important.  But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for
-the kids came to me yesterday.  We can set up a night light controlled
-by the computer, and turn it automatically on at 07:00.  The kids can
-then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to
-get up or not.  They joined me in setting everything up, and I
-repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they
-remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until
-after 07:00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the
-&quot;morning light&quot; was turned on and signalled that the morning had
-arrived.  So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how
-this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us
-all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when
-to tell the kids to get up.  We do not have to wait until 07:00, and
-can also delay it if we want to.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The third wheezy based alpha release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
+today.  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.0.0 alpha2 released
+2013-06-10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux 7.0.0 edu
+alpha2, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
+Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
+out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
+network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
+services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
+and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
+environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
+the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
+installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
+database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
+directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
+desktop contains
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
+than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
+the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
+and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is the third test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
+this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
+Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Iceweasel was updated from 10 to 17. (DSA 2699-1) 
+&lt;li&gt;Updated libxv (DSA-2674), libxvmc (DSA-2675), libxfixes (DSA-2676), libxrender (DSA-2677), mesa (DSA-2678), xserver-xorg-video-openchrome (DSA-2679), libxt (DSA-2680), libxcursor (DSA-2681), libxext (DSA-2682), libxi (DSA-2683), libxrandr (DSA-2684), libxp (DSA-2685), libxcb (DSA-2686), libfs (DSA-2687), libxres (DSA-2688), libxtst (DSA-2689), libxxf86dga (DSA-2690), libxinerama (DSA-2691), libxxf86vm (DSA-2692), libx11 (DSA-2693), chromium-browser (DSA-2695), gnutls26 (DSA-2697), wireshark (DSA-2700), krb5 (DSA-2701), telepathy-gabble (DSA-2702) and subversion (DSA-2703). 
+&lt;li&gt;Switched xrdp on thin client servers to use tightvncserver instead of xvnc4. 
+&lt;li&gt;Now install software oscilloscope xoscope by default. 
+&lt;li&gt;Now install music tools gtick, lingot and pianobooster by default. 
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;The subnet-change script is now able to change all files needing a change on the main-server when changing the IP network used. 
+&lt;li&gt;Updated translation of the installation. 
+&lt;li&gt;New Romanian translation. 
+&lt;li&gt;Fix security problem causing root and first user password to no longer show up in /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat. 
+&lt;li&gt;Fix roaming workstation setup (Closed in libpam-mklocaluser/0.8, libpam-mklocaluser/0.8~deb7u1: #706753: libpam-mklocaluser: Fail to create local user during first login).
+&lt;li&gt;Made roaming workstation setup more robust in non-Debian Edu environments. 
+&lt;li&gt;New script debian-edu-bless to transform a Debian installation to a Debian Edu profile. 
+&lt;li&gt;Adjust Iceweasel setup to improve performance when $HOME is on NFS. 
+&lt;li&gt;More testsuite tests. 
+&lt;li&gt;Make automatic proxy configuration more robust. 
+&lt;li&gt;Adjust GOsa² GUI configuration. 
+
+&lt;li&gt;Update thin client and diskless workstation setup to work with
+LTSP in Wheezy.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Diskless workstations now run out of the box -- no need to set
+them up with GOsa².&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Update IMAP server setup. &lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Fix login into Skolelinux Backup Tool (Closed in
+slbackup-php/0.4.4-1: #700257: slbackup-php: Fails to submit correctly
+entered password). &lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;DVD binary and source images are not yet ready.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;No mass import of user account data in GOsa (ldif or csv)
+available yet (Open in gosa/2.7.4-4: #698840: gosa-plugin-ldapmanager:
+missing import feature).&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Missing artwork for the KDE desktop (and probably a few others). &lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;KDE Debian submenu lacks icons (Closed: #502192: menu-xdg: invents
+own icon names instead of using existing). This will remain
+unfixed.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Nytt stortingsvalg er på trappene, og folket får igjen mulighet til
-å påvirke sammensetningen i vår lovgivende forsamling.  Da er det
-relevant å vite hvilke representanter og partier som har støttet
-innføringen av brev- og besøkskontroll av hele den norske
-befolkningen, det vil si datalagringsdirektivet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hvis du vil vite hva hver enkelt stortingsrepresentant har stemt i
-stortingsvoteringene om datalagringsdirektivet, så har nettstedet til
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.holderdeord.no/&quot;&gt;Holder De Ord&lt;/a&gt; den (så vidt jeg
-vet) eneste komplette oversikten på sin temaside om
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;innføringen
-av datalagringsdirektivet&lt;/a&gt;.  Den har detaljene fra de 11 relevante
-forslagene som har vært fremmet så lagt.  De har vært votert over
-2011-04-04, 2011-04-11, 2012-06-11, 2012-10-05 og 2012-12-06.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hva som er problemet med datalagringsdirektivet,
-anbefaler jeg å lese &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84&quot;&gt;artiklene

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Here is a call for help from the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project.
+We have two problems blocking the release of the Wheezy version we
+hope to get released soon.  The two problems require some with PHP
+skills, and we seem to lack anyone with both time and PHP skills in
+the project:
+
+&lt;ol&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;It is impossible to log into the slbackup web interface
+  (slbackup-php) using the root user and password.  This is
+  &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/700257&quot;&gt;BTS report #700257&lt;/a&gt;.
+  This used to work, but stopped working some time since Squeeze.
+  Perhaps some obsolete PHP feature was used?&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;It is not possible to &quot;mass import&quot; user lists in Gosa, neither
+  using ldif nor using CSV files.  The feature was disabled after a
+  major rewrite of Gosa, and need to be ported to the new system.
+  This is &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/698840&quot;&gt;BTS report
+  #698840&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ol&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you can help us, please join us on IRC
+(&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu on
+irc.debian.org&lt;/a&gt;) and provide patches via the BTS.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/Positive-til-mer-smuglerovervaking-7110348.html&quot;&gt;applauderer
-tollvesenets forslag&lt;/a&gt; om å øke overvåkningen i Norge nok et hakk.
-Det er ikke så rart, da de som uttaler seg jo også har støttet
-innføringen av datalagringsdirektivet eller i hvert fall ikke veldig
-aktivt har motarbeidet det.  Innføringen av datalagringsdirektivet er
-en lovendring som innebærer brev og besøkskontroll for hele

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;oversikt fra Holder De
-Ord&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jan Bøhler i Arbeiderpartiet stemte for å innføre
-datalagringsdirektivet i lovverket i første votering, var ikke
-tilstede i andre votering og støttet loven i tredje votering.  André
-Oktay Dahl i Høyre var ikke til stede i første og andre votering men
-støttet loven i tredje votering.  Ulf Leirstein i Fremskrittspartiet
-stemte mot loven i første votering men var ikke til stede i andre og

+                <pubDate>Tue, 4 Jun 2013 10:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last English
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
+interview last November.  But the developers and translators are still
+pulling along to get the Wheezy based release out the door, and this
+time I managed to get an interview from one of the French translators
+in the project, Cédric Boutillier.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I am 34 year old. I live near Paris, France. I am an assistant
+professor in probability theory. I spend my daytime teaching
+mathematics at the university and doing fundamental research in
+probability in connexion with combinatorics and statistical physics.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I have been involved in the Debian project for a couple of years
+and became Debian Developer a few months ago. I am working on Ruby
+packaging, publicity and translation.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
+project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I came to the Debian Edu project after a call for translation of
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Manuals&quot;&gt;the
+Debian Edu manual&lt;/a&gt; for the release of Debian Edu Squeeze. Since
+then, I have been working on updating the French translation of the
+manual.
+
+&lt;p&gt;I had the opportunity to make an installation of Debian Edu in a
+virtual machine when I was preparing localised version of some screen
+shots for the manual. I was amazed to see it worked out of the box and
+how comprehensive the list of software installed by default was.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;What amazed me was the complete network infrastructure directly
+ready to use, which can and the nice administration interface provided
+by &lt;a href=&quot;https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/&quot;&gt;GOsa²&lt;/a&gt;.  What pleased
+me also was the fact that among the software installed by default,
+there were many &quot;traditional&quot; educative software to learn languages,
+to count, to program... but also software to develop creativity and
+artistic skills with music (&lt;a href=&quot;http://ardour.org/&quot;&gt;Ardour&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://audacity.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;Audacity&lt;/a&gt;) and
+movies/animation (I was especially thinking of
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://linuxstopmotion.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;Stopmotion&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I am following the development of Debian Edu and am hanging out on
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu&lt;/a&gt;.
+Unfortunately, I don&#39;t much time to get more involved in this
+beautiful project.&lt;/p&gt;
+  
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For me, the main advantages of Skolelinux/Debian Edu are its
+community of experts and its precise documentation, as well as the
+fact that it provides a solution ready to use.&lt;/p&gt;
+  
+&lt;p&gt;I would add also the fact that it is based on the rock solid Debian
+distribution, which ensures stability and provides a huge collection
+of educational free software.&lt;/p&gt;
+  
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Maybe the lack of manpower to do lobbying on the
+project. Sometimes, people who need to take decisions concerning IT do
+not have all the elements to evaluate properly free software
+solutions. The fact that support by a company may be difficult to find
+is probably a problem if the school does not have IT personnel.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;One can find support from a company by looking at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Help/ProfessionalHelp&quot;&gt;the
+wiki dokumentation&lt;/a&gt;, where some countries already have a number of
+companies providing support for Debian Edu, like Germany or
+Norway. This list is easy to find readily from the manual. However,
+for other countries, like France, the list is empty. I guess that
+consultants proposing support for Debian would be able to provide some
+support for Debian Edu as well.&lt;/p&gt;
+  
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I am using the KDE Plasma Desktop. But the pieces of software I use
+most runs in a terminal: Mutt and OfflineIMAP for emails, latex for
+scientific documents, mpd for music. VIM is my editor of choice.  I am
+also using the mathematical software
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scilab.org/en/scilab/about‎&quot;&gt;Scilab&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sagemath.org/index.html‎&quot;&gt;Sage&lt;/a&gt; (built from
+source as not completely packaged for Debian, yet).
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you have any suggestions for teachers interested in
+using the free software in Debian to teach mathematics and
+statistics?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I do not have any &quot;nice&quot; recommendations for statistics. At our
+university, we use both &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.r-project.org/‎&quot;&gt;R&lt;/a&gt; and
+Scilab to teach statistics and probabilistic simulations. For
+geometry, there are nice programs:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.drgeo.eu/&quot;&gt;drgeo&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/kig‎&quot;&gt;kig&lt;/a&gt; to do
+constructions in planar geometry
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/software/download/kali.html&quot;&gt;kali&lt;/a&gt;
+to discover symmetry groups (the so-called wallpapers and frieze
+groups), although the interface looks a bit old.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I like also
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/cantor&quot;&gt;cantor&lt;/a&gt;, which
+provides a uniform interface to SciLab, Sage,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Octave‎&quot;&gt;Octave&lt;/a&gt;, etc...&lt;/p&gt;
+  
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My suggestions would be to&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;advertise the reduction of costs when free software is used.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;communicate about the quality of free software projects, using
+    well known examples like Firefox, ThunderBird and
+    OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.&lt;/li&gt;
+

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_backport_bitcoin_qt_version_0_7_2_2_to_Debian_Squeeze.html&quot;&gt;last
-bitcoin related blog post&lt;/a&gt; mentioned that the new
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin&quot;&gt;bitcoin package&lt;/a&gt; for
-Debian was waiting in NEW.  It was accepted by the Debian ftp-masters
-2013-01-19, and have been available in unstable since then.  It was
-automatically copied to Ubuntu, and is available in their Raring
-version too.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But there is a strange problem with the build that block this new
-version from being available on the i386 and kfreebsd-i386
-architectures.  For some strange reason, the autobuilders in Debian
-for these architectures fail to run the test suite on these
-architectures (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/672524&quot;&gt;BTS #672524&lt;/a&gt;).
-We are so far unable to reproduce it when building it manually, and
-no-one have been able to propose a fix.  If you got an idea what is
-failing, please let us know via the BTS.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;One feature that is annoying me with of the bitcoin client, because
-I often run low on disk space, is the fact that the client will exit
-if it run short on space (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/696715&quot;&gt;BTS
-#696715&lt;/a&gt;).  So make sure you have enough disk space when you run
-it. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
-activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg jobber til daglig ved &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uio.no/&quot;&gt;Universitetet
+i Oslo&lt;/a&gt;, en institusjon som lenge har vektlagt verdien av åpne
+standarder og fri programvare.  Men noe har endret seg, og for en
+liten stund tilbake annonserte USIT at dagens fungerende e-postsystemet
+basert på fri programvare skulle byttes ut med Microsoft Exchange og
+at Microsoft Outlook skulle bli den best fungerende men antagelig ikke
+eneste støttede e-postklienten.  Annonseringen har ført til flere
+protester og &lt;a href=&quot;http://folk.uio.no/dssantos/nooutlookatuio/&quot;&gt;en
+underskriftskampanje&lt;/a&gt;, initiert av Diana Santos, der så langt 253
+personer har signert.  Prosjektet
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike/&quot;&gt;NIKE (Ny integrert
+kalender/e-post)&lt;/a&gt; ble initiert for å se på mulige løsninger med
+utgangspunkt i at en kombinert epost/kalenderløsning var påkrevd, og
+prosjektet
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike-implementasjon/&quot;&gt;NIKE-implementasjon&lt;/a&gt;
+er igang med å rulle ut MS Exchange ved Universitetet i Oslo.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For kun kort tid siden ble det annonsert at det blir et åpent møte
+med ledelsen hos universitetet i Oslo med disse planene som tema:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Tid: &lt;strong&gt;Onsdag 2013-06-05 kl. 10:00&lt;/strong&gt;
+&lt;br&gt;Sted: &lt;strong&gt;9. etasje i Lucy Smiths hus (admin-bygget)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt; Det kan være en god plass å stille opp hvis en som meg ikke tror
+valget av Microsoft Exchange som sentral epostinfrastruktur er et
+heldig valg for Norges ledende forskningsuniversitet, men at en er mer
+tjent med å selv
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://nuug.no/dokumenter/kronikk-friprog-itsikkerhet.shtml&quot;&gt;beholde
+kontrollen over egen infrastruktur&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Saken har ført til endel presseoppslag så langt.  Her er de jeg har
+fått med meg:&lt;/p&gt;
