-
-&lt;p&gt;FixMyStreet is a web platform for allowing the citizens to easily

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Creating a good looking book cover proved harder than I expected.
+I wanted to create a cover looking similar to the original cover of
+the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;Free
+Culture&lt;/a&gt; book we are translating to Norwegian, and I wanted it in
+vector format for high resolution printing.  But my inkscape knowledge
+were not nearly good enough to pull that off.
+
+&lt;p&gt;But thanks to the great inkscape community, I was able to wrap up
+the cover yesterday evening.  I asked on the
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23inkscape&quot;&gt;#inkscape IRC channel&lt;/a&gt;
+on Freenode for help and clues, and Marc Jeanmougin (Mc-) volunteered
+to try to recreate it based on the PDF of the cover from the HTML
+version.  Not only did he create a
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/copy1.svg &quot;&gt;SVG document with
+the original and his vector version side by side&lt;/a&gt;, he even provided
+an &lt;a href=&quot;https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/out-1.ogv&quot;&gt;instruction
+video&lt;/a&gt; explaining how he did it&lt;/a&gt;.  But the instruction video is
+not easy to follow for an untrained inkscape user. The video is a
+recording on how he did it, and he is obviously very experienced as
+the menu selections are very quick and he mentioned on IRC that he did
+use some keyboard shortcuts that can&#39;t be seen on the video, but it
+give a good idea about the inkscape operations to use to create the
+stripes with the embossed copyright sign in the center.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I took his SVG file, copied the vector image and re-sized it to fit
+on the cover I was drawing.  I am happy with the end result, and the
+current english version look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-09-03-free-culture-cover.png&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;/&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I am not quite sure about the text on the back, but guess it will
+do.  I picked three quotes from the official site for the book, and
+hope it will work to trigger the interest of potential readers.  The
+Norwegian cover will look the same, but with the texts and bar code
+replaced with the Norwegian version.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The book is very close to being ready for publication, and I expect
+to upload the final draft to Lulu in the next few days and order a
+final proof reading copy to verify that everything look like it should
+before allowing everyone to order their own copy of Free Culture, in
+English or Norwegian Bokmål.  I&#39;m waiting to give the the productive
+proof readers a chance to complete their work.&lt;/p&gt;

-(LKK),
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Klarer_ikke_Microsoft___holde_p__hemmeligheter_.html&quot;&gt;som

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today, finally, my first printed draft edition of the Norwegian
+translation of Free Culture I have been working on for the last few
+years arrived in the mail.  I had to fake a cover to get the interior
+printed, and the exterior of the book look awful, but that is
+irrelevant at this point.  I asked for a printed pocket book version
+to get an idea about the font sizes and paper format as well as how
+good the figures and images look in print, but also to test what the
+pocket book version would look like.  After receiving the 500 page
+pocket book, it became obvious to me that that pocket book size is too
+small for this book.  I believe the book is too thick, and several
+tables and figures do not look good in the size they get with that
+small page sizes.  I believe I will go with the 5.5x8.5 inch size
+instead.  A surprise discovery from the paper version was how bad the
+URLs look in print.  They are very hard to read in the colophon page.
+The URLs are red in the PDF, but light gray on paper.  I need to
+change the color of links somehow to look better.  But there is a
+printed book in my hand, and it feels great. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Now I only need to fix the cover, wrap up the postscript with the
+store behind the book, and collect the last corrections from the proof
+readers before the book is ready for proper printing.  Cover artists
+willing to work for free and create a Creative Commons licensed vector
+file looking similar to the original is most welcome, as my skills as
+a graphics designer are mostly missing.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Typesetting a book is harder than I hoped.  As the translation is
+mostly done, and a volunteer proof reader was going to check the text
+on paper, it was time this summer to focus on formatting my translated
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; based version of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; book by Lawrence
+Lessig.  I&#39;ve been trying to get both docboox-xsl+fop and dblatex to
+give me a good looking PDF, but in the end I went with dblatex, because
+its Debian maintainer and upstream developer were responsive and very
+helpful in solving my formatting challenges.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Last night, I finally managed to create a PDF that no longer made
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/&quot;&gt;Lulu.com&lt;/a&gt; complain after uploading,
+and I ordered a text version of the book on paper.  It is lacking a
+proper book cover and is not tagged with the correct ISBN number, but
+should give me an idea what the finished book will look like.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Instead of using Lulu, I did consider printing the book using
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.createspace.com/&quot;&gt;CreateSpace&lt;/a&gt;, but ended up
+using Lulu because it had smaller book size options (CreateSpace seem
+to lack pocket book with extended distribution).  I looked for a
+similar service in Norway, but have not seen anything so far.  Please
+let me know if I am missing out on something here.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But I still struggle to decide the book size.  Should I go for
+pocket book (4.25x6.875 inches / 10.8x17.5 cm) with 556 pages, Digest
+(5.5x8.5 inches / 14x21.6 cm) with 323 pages or US Trade (6x8 inches /
+15.3x22.9 cm) with 280 pages?  Fewer pager give a cheaper book, and a
+smaller book is easier to carry around.  The test book I ordered was
+pocket book sized, to give me an idea how well that fit in my hand,
+but I suspect I will end up using a digest sized book in the end to
+bring the prize down further.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My biggest challenge at the moment is making nice cover art.  My
+inkscape skills are not yet up to the task of replicating the original
+cover in SVG format.  I also need to figure out what to write about
+the book on the back (will most likely use the same text as the
+description on web based book stores).  I would love help with this,
+if you are willing to license the art source and final version using
+the same CC license as the book.  My artistic skills are not really up
+to the task.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I plan to publish the book in both English and Norwegian and on
+paper, in PDF form as well as EPUB and MOBI format.  The current
+status can as usual be found on
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;
+in the archive/ directory.  So far I have spent all time on making the
+PDF version look good.  Someone should probably do the same with the
+dbtoepub generated e-book.  Help is definitely needed here, as I
+expect to run out of steem before I find time to improve the epub
+formatting.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Please let me know via github if you find typos in the book or
+discover translations that should be improved.  The final proof
+reading is being done right now, and I expect to publish the finished
+result in a few months.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m still working on the Norwegian version of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture book by Lawrence
+Lessig&lt;/a&gt;, and is now working on the final typesetting and layout.
+One of the features I want to get the structure similar to the
+original book is to typeset the footnotes as endnotes in the notes
+chapter.  Based on the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/685063&quot;&gt;feedback from the Debian
+maintainer and the dblatex developer&lt;/a&gt;, I came up with this recipe I
+would like to share with you.  The proposal was to create a new LaTeX
+class file and add the LaTeX code there, but this is not always
+practical, when I want to be able to replace the class using a make
+file variable.  So my proposal misuses the latex.begindocument XSL
+parameter value, to get a small fragment into the correct location in
+the generated LaTeX File.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;First, decide where in the DocBook document to place the endnotes,
+and add this text there:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;«Først og fremst; vi beklager på det sterkeste at en feil hos oss
-  har ført til et slikt oppslag.  I Microsoft Norge støtter vi LKK med
-  hjerte og sjel og ønsker på ingen må at det skal stilles spørsmål
-  ved det fantastiske arbeidet som gjøres av LKK!  Jeg beklager dette
-  på det sterkeste og ber om å få lov til å forklare.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Microsoft var til stede i 5. klasse på Ruseløkka skole for å kjøre
-  en kodetime. Vi hadde med et TV-team fra TV2 God Morgen Norge og et
-  TV-team fra Microsoft. Foresatte ble bedt om å gi et skriftlig
-  samtykke for at opptak og bilder av barna kunne brukes. Microsoft
-  bruker ikke bilder eller opptak av barn uten at et skriftlig
-  samtykke gis av foresatte. Alle barna i klassen skulle delta i
-  kodetimen helt uavhengig av om det var gitt samtykke for filming
-  eller ikke. Barn som ikke skulle filmes ble plassert bakerst i
-  klassen slik at de ikke kom med på bilder. Men alle elever var med
-  og alle fikk hjelp av oss - selvfølgelig. Jeg var selv til stede og
-  tror jeg på vegne av alle kan si; dette var gøy! Det medfører altså
-  ikke på noen som helst måte riktighet at noen elever ble ekskludert
-  dersom deres foresatte ikke hadde skrevet under en
-  samtykkeerklæring. Klassen på Ruseløkka var det eneste stedet det
-  var med et Microsoft TV-team i løpet av kodeuken.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I går ettermiddag ble jeg ringt opp av en journalist fra
-  Aftenposten om saken. Foreldre hadde reagert på
-  samtykkeerklæringen. Hverken lærer for femteklassen, rektor eller
-  jeg hadde hørt fra noen foreldre før Aftenposten ringte onsdag
-  ettermiddag.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I Microsoft har vi kommet i skade for å bruke et standard formular
-  som samtykkeerklæring. Dette er ikke dekkende for Microsofts bruk av
-  denne filmen. Det beklager jeg sterkt. En ny samtykkeerklæring er i
-  dag sendt til skolen. Denne samtykkeerklæringen mener vi klargjør
-  bruken av opptakene.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det har aldri vært vår hensikt å bruke opptakene i kommersiell
-  sammenheng.  Filmen på 2-3 minutter lages for å vise hva Microsoft i
-  de nordiske landene bidro med under kodeuken. Filmen vil bli vist
-  internt i Microsoft og eksternt i forbindelse med arrangementer og
-  diskusjoner som handler om undervisning i koding og informatikk.
-  Filmen vil også være tilgjengelig på en Microsoft nettside som
-  handler om koding og undervisning av elever. I skrivende stund er
-  ingen bilder eller opptak brukt eller lagt ut noe sted.  Disse vil
-  heller ikke bli brukt uten at foresatte til barn som medvirker har
-  skrevet under en ny samtykkeerklæring som understreker at bruken
-  ikke er kommersiell.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg håper dette oppklarende og igjen beklager jeg på det sterkeste
-  at dette har inntruffet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Microsoft Norge hjalp om lag 600 elever med å kode i kodeuken og
-  dette var en dugnad våre ansatte satte svært stor pris på å få
-  anledning til å støtte!  Jeg håper ikke den uheldige delen av saken
-  overskygger det som hele tiden har vært det aller, aller viktigste
-  for oss: å lære kidsa å kode.»&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;pre&gt;
+&amp;lt;?latex \theendnotes ?&amp;gt;
+&lt;/pre&gt;

 
 

-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Next, create a xsl stylesheet file dblatex-endnotes.xsl to add the
+code needed to add the endnote instructions in the preamble of the
+generated LaTeX document, with content like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+&amp;lt;?xml version=&#39;1.0&#39;?&amp;gt;
+&amp;lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot; version=&#39;1.0&#39;&amp;gt;
+  &amp;lt;xsl:param name=&quot;latex.begindocument&quot;&amp;gt;
+    &amp;lt;xsl:text&amp;gt;
+\usepackage{endnotes}
+\let\footnote=\endnote
+\def\enoteheading{\mbox{}\par\vskip-\baselineskip }
+\begin{document}
+    &amp;lt;/xsl:text&amp;gt;
+  &amp;lt;/xsl:param&amp;gt;
+&amp;lt;/xsl:stylesheet&amp;gt;
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finally, load this xsl file when running dblatex, for example like
+this:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Det betyr altså at vanligvis pleier Microsoft å be folk som sier ja
-til å bli filmet om å holde på hemmelighetene til Microsoft, samt be
-om lov til å bruke filmene kommersielt over hele verden i all fremtid,
-men at de egentlig ikke hadde tenkt på om det var så lurt å gjøre det
-samme med skoleelever i offentlig norsk skole.  Og skolen tenkte
-tydeligvis heller ikke så mye på problemstillingen da de lot Microsoft
-dele ut forslaget til samtykkeerklæring til foreldrene.  Altså svikt i
-flere ledd, men alle hadde gode intensjoner og ønsker å støtte et godt
-tiltak.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg lurer på hvilke konsekvensen denne svikten får i skolenorge.
-Blir det gjort bedre vurderinger i neste skole når noen vil filme?
-Det høres i hvert fall ut som om Lær kidsa kode skal gjøre sitt, og
-fortsatt sørge for at alle som ønsker det får lære å programmere, uten
-å måtte akseptere urimelige vilkår.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg har spurt Microsoft og skolen om kopi av opprinnelig og ny
-samtykkeerklæring, men ikke fått svar ennå.  Er spent på om det var
-mer interessant i det opprinnelige, og hva som er endret i den nye.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;pre&gt;
+dblatex --xsl-user=dblatex-endnotes.xsl freeculture.nb.xml
+&lt;/pre&gt;

+&lt;p&gt;The end result can be seen on github, where
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;my
+book project&lt;/a&gt; is located.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I går fikk vi endelig lansert en norsk version av mySocietys
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/&quot;&gt;WhatDoTheyKnow&lt;/a&gt;.
+Tjenesten heter Mimes brønn, og ble
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/news/NUUG_lanserer_innsynstjenesten_Mimes_Br_nn.shtml&quot;&gt;annonsert
+av NUUG&lt;/a&gt; via blogg, epost og twitter til NUUG-assosierte personer.
+Det har tatt noen år, men de siste dagene fikk vi endelig tid til å få
+på plass de siste bitene.  Vi er to, Gorm og meg selv, som har vært
+primus motor for det hele, men vi har fått hjelp med oversettelser og
+oppsett fra mange flere.  Jeg vil si tusen takk til hver og en av dem,
+og er veldig fornøyd med at vi klarte å få tjenesten opp å kjøre før
+ferietiden slo inn for fullt.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Vi er usikker på hvor mye belastning den virtuelle maskinen der
+tjenesten kjører klarer, så vi har lansert litt i det stille og ikke
+til for mange folk for å se hvordan maskinen klarer seg over sommeren,
+før vi går mer aktivt ut og annonserer til høsten.  Ta en titt, og se
+om du kanskje har et spørsmål til det offentlige som er egnet å sende
+inn via Mimes brønn.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Hvis du lurer på hva i alle dager en slik tjenestes kan brukes til,
+anbefaler jeg deg å se
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.no/video/625321&quot;&gt;TED-foredraget til
+Heather Brook&lt;/a&gt; om hvordan hun brukte WhatDoTheyKnow til å lære
+hvordan offentlige midler ble misbrukt.  Det er en inspirerende
+historie.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Må Microsoft virkelig ha hjelp av unger for å holde på
-hemmelighetene sine?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I dag kom det en fascinerende artikkel i Aftenposten om
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.osloby.no/nyheter/Microsoft-ba-om-a-fa-bruke-bilder-og-video-av-barna-dine-7831036.html&quot;&gt;hva
-Microsoft har foreslått at foreldre går med på&lt;/a&gt; for å la ungene
-delta på &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kidsakoder.no/&quot;&gt;Lær kidsa koding&lt;/a&gt; på
-skolen.  De ber foreldrene om å få bruke bilder og video av ungene
-kommersielt og gratis i all fremtid, hvilket var så drøyt at
-Arbeiderpartiets bystyrerepresentant
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_Anders_Langerød&quot;&gt;Per Anders
-Torvik Langerød&lt;/a&gt; tok opp saken opp under bystyrets muntlige
-spørretime onsdag.  Resultatet av dette er at Microsoft har trukket
-tilbake teksten i samtykkeerklæringen og kommunikasjonsdirektør
-Christine Korme i Microsoft sier i artikkelen at «Vi vil presentere en
-ny erklæring som gjør det helt klart i hvilken forbindelse materialet
-skal brukes, altså ikke-kommersielt», hvilket jo er fint.  Jeg lurer
-virkelig på hvordan teksten kunne slippe ut til foreldrene i første
-omgang.  Her har noen på skolen ikke fulgt med i timen, eller mangler
-grunnleggende personverntrening.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Men bildet av samtykkeerklæringen inneholder også en annen
-problematisk klausul, som ikke omtales overhodet i
-Aftenposten-artikkelen.  Neste punkt i erklæringen lyder:&lt;/p&gt;
+               <title>MPEG LA on &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC Video&quot; licensing and non-private use</title>
+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/MPEG_LA_on__Internet_Broadcast_AVC_Video__licensing_and_non_private_use.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/MPEG_LA_on__Internet_Broadcast_AVC_Video__licensing_and_non_private_use.html</guid>

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;After asking the Norwegian Broadcasting Company (NRK)
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hva_gj_r_at_NRK_kan_distribuere_H_264_video_uten_patentavtale_med_MPEG_LA_.html&quot;&gt;why
+they can broadcast and stream H.264 video without an agreement with
+the MPEG LA&lt;/a&gt;, I was wiser, but still confused.  So I asked MPEG LA
+if their understanding matched that of NRK.  As far as I can tell, it
+does not.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I started by asking for more information about the various
+licensing classes and what exactly is covered by the &quot;Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video&quot; class that NRK pointed me at to explain why NRK
+did not need a license for streaming H.264 video:

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

-«Du aksepterer ikke å bruke eller videreformidle til en tredjepart
-noen hemmelige eller fortrolige opplysninger som gis av Microsoft i
-løpet av elevens deltagelse.»
+
+&lt;p&gt;According to
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf&quot;&gt;a
+MPEG LA press release dated 2010-02-02&lt;/a&gt;, there is no charge when
+using MPEG AVC/H.264 according to the terms of &quot;Internet Broadcast AVC
+Video&quot;.  I am trying to understand exactly what the terms of &quot;Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video&quot; is, and wondered if you could help me.  What
+exactly is covered by these terms, and what is not?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The only source of more information I have been able to find is a
+PDF named
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/avcweb.pdf&quot;&gt;AVC
+Patent Portfolio License Briefing&lt;/a&gt;, which states this about the
+fees:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Where End User pays for AVC Video
+  &lt;ul&gt;
+   &lt;li&gt;Subscription (not limited by title) – 100,000 or fewer
+     subscribers/yr = no royalty; &amp;gt; 100,000 to 250,000 subscribers/yr =
+     $25,000; &amp;gt;250,000 to 500,000 subscribers/yr = $50,000; &amp;gt;500,000 to
+     1M subscribers/yr = $75,000; &amp;gt;1M subscribers/yr = $100,000&lt;/li&gt;
+
+   &lt;li&gt;Title-by-Title - 12 minutes or less = no royalty; &amp;gt;12 minutes in
+     length = lower of (a) 2% or (b) $0.02 per title&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+ &lt;li&gt;Where remuneration is from other sources
+  &lt;ul&gt;
+   &lt;li&gt;Free Television - (a) one-time $2,500 per transmission encoder or
+     (b) annual fee starting at $2,500 for &amp;gt; 100,000 HH rising to
+     maximum $10,000 for &amp;gt;1,000,000 HH&lt;/li&gt;
+
+   &lt;li&gt;Internet Broadcast AVC Video (not title-by-title, not subscription)
+     – no royalty for life of the AVC Patent Portfolio License&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Am I correct in assuming that the four categories listed is the
+categories used when selecting licensing terms, and that &quot;Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video&quot; is the category for things that do not fall into
+one of the other three categories?  Can you point me to a good source
+explaining what is ment by &quot;title-by-title&quot; and &quot;Free Television&quot; in
+the license terms for AVC/H.264?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Will a web service providing H.264 encoded video content in a
+&quot;video on demand&quot; fashing similar to Youtube and Vimeo, where no
+subscription is required and no payment is required from end users to
+get access to the videos, fall under the terms of the &quot;Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video&quot;, ie no royalty for life of the AVC Patent
+Portfolio license?  Does it matter if some users are subscribed to get
+access to personalized services?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Note, this request and all answers will be published on the
+Internet.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Mener Microsoft virkelig at foreldre og barn skal ta ansvar for at
-Microsoft ikke klarer å holde hemmelig og fortrolig informasjon for
-seg selv når de besøker en offentlig norsk skole?  Jeg ville nektet
-plent å signert på en avtale med en slik klausul, da det er Microsofts
-ansvar å holde på sine hemmeligheter, og ikke noe mine barn og min
-familie tar på oss erstatningsansvar for hvis de kommer på avveie.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg lurer på om noen har fått se den nye samtykkeerklæringen?
-Inneholder den fortsatt klausul om hemmelighold?  Hvor mange er det
-som hittil har signert på den gamle samtykkeerklæringen?  Hvor har den
-vært brukt?  Savnet svar på disse spørsmålene i artikkelen, da de som
-har signert på den gamle vel vil være bundet av den selv om ingen
-flere signerer på den.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Lær kidsa koding er et glimrende initiativ, og jeg skulle ønske
-noen av &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;foreningen NUUGs&lt;/a&gt; medlemmer
-hadde kapasitet til å delta i initiativet på NUUGs vegne.  Selv tar
-jobb, familie og eksisterende prosjekter allerede all tid.  Slik
-Microsoft tydeligvis holder på er det behov for noen med et annet syn
-på livet som bidragsyter her.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Opphavsretts_status_for__Empty_Socks__fra_1927_.html</link>

-                <pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;For noen dager siden
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nb.no/Hva-skjer/Aktuelt/Nyheter/Tapt-filmskatt-fra-Disney-funnet-i-Nasjonalbiblioteket&quot;&gt;annonserte
-Nasjonalbiblioteket gladnyheten&lt;/a&gt; om at de i sine arkiver hadde
-funnet et nitratfilm-eksemplar av en 87 år gammel Disney-film ved navn
-Empty Socks, en film som tidligere var antatt tapt og der det i følge
-nyhetsmeldinger var kun ca. 25 sekunder bevart for ettertiden.
-Nasjonalbiblioteket hadde 5 minutter og 30 sekunder av filmen i sitt
-magasin.  Dette er flott for bevaringen av verdens kulturarv.  5,5
-minutter mindre tapt enn vi trodde av vår felles historie.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Men hvordan kunne filmen gå tapt, når arkivlovene i USA krevde at
-publiserte filmer på den tiden ble deponert i bibliotek?  Forklaringen
-har jeg fra Lawrence Lessig og boken
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt;, som jeg holder på
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;å
-oversette til norsk&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The answer came quickly from Benjamin J. Myers, Licensing Associate
+with the MPEG LA:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;Dette er delvis på grunn av loven. Opphavsrettseiere var tidlig i
-  amerikansk opphavsrettslov nødt til å deponere kopier av sine verk i
-  biblioteker. Disse kopiene skulle både sikre spredning av kunnskap,
-  og sikre at det fantes en kopi av verket tilgjengelig når vernetiden
-  utløp, slik at andre kunne få tilgang til og kopiere verket.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Disse reglene gjaldt også for filmer. Men i 1915 gjorde
-  kongressbiblioteket et unntak for film. Filmer kunne bli
-  opphavsrettsbeskyttet så lenge det ble gjort slik deponering. Men
-  filmskaperne fikk så lov til å låne tilbake de deponerte filmene -
-  så lenge de ville uten noe kostnad. Bare i 1915 var det mer enn 5475
-  filmer deponert og “lånt tilbake”. Dermed var det ikke noe eksemplar
-  i noe bibliotek når vernetiden til filmen utløp. Eksemplaret
-  eksisterer - hvis den finnes i det hele tatt - i arkivbiblioteket
-  til filmselskapet.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your message and for your interest in MPEG LA.  We
+appreciate hearing from you and I will be happy to assist you.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As you are aware, MPEG LA offers our AVC Patent Portfolio License
+which provides coverage under patents that are essential for use of
+the AVC/H.264 Standard (MPEG-4 Part 10).  Specifically, coverage is
+provided for end products and video content that make use of AVC/H.264
+technology.  Accordingly, the party offering such end products and
+video to End Users concludes the AVC License and is responsible for
+paying the applicable royalties.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Regarding Internet Broadcast AVC Video, the AVC License generally
+defines such content to be video that is distributed to End Users over
+the Internet free-of-charge.  Therefore, if a party offers a service
+which allows users to upload AVC/H.264 video to its website, and such
+AVC Video is delivered to End Users for free, then such video would
+receive coverage under the sublicense for Internet Broadcast AVC
+Video, which is not subject to any royalties for the life of the AVC
+License.  This would also apply in the scenario where a user creates a
+free online account in order to receive a customized offering of free
+AVC Video content.  In other words, as long as the End User is given
+access to or views AVC Video content at no cost to the End User, then
+no royalties would be payable under our AVC License.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if End Users pay for access to AVC Video for a
+specific period of time (e.g., one month, one year, etc.), then such
+video would constitute Subscription AVC Video.  In cases where AVC
+Video is delivered to End Users on a pay-per-view basis, then such
+content would constitute Title-by-Title AVC Video.  If a party offers
+Subscription or Title-by-Title AVC Video to End Users, then they would
+be responsible for paying the applicable royalties you noted below.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finally, in the case where AVC Video is distributed for free
+through an &quot;over-the-air, satellite and/or cable transmission&quot;, then
+such content would constitute Free Television AVC Video and would be
+subject to the applicable royalties.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For your reference, I have attached
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-07-07-mpegla.pdf&quot;&gt;a
+.pdf copy of the AVC License&lt;/a&gt;. You will find the relevant
+sublicense information regarding AVC Video in Sections 2.2 through
+2.5, and the corresponding royalties in Section 3.1.2 through 3.1.4.
+You will also find the definitions of Title-by-Title AVC Video,
+Subscription AVC Video, Free Television AVC Video, and Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video in Section 1 of the License.  Please note that the
+electronic copy is provided for informational purposes only and cannot
+be used for execution.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I hope the above information is helpful.  If you have additional
+questions or need further assistance with the AVC License, please feel
+free to contact me directly.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Nyheten gjorde meg nysgjerrig på om filmen kunne være falt i det
-fri.  En 87 år gammel film kunne jo tenkes å ha blitt en del av
-allemannseiet, slik at vi alle kan bruke den til å bygge videre på vår
-felles kultur uten å måtte be om tillatelse - slik Walt Disney gjorde
-det i starten av sin karriere.  Jeg spurte nasjonalbiblioteket, og de
-sa nei.  Hvordan kan det ha seg med en så gammel film?  Jeg besteme
-meg for å undersøke nærmere.  En kan finne informasjon om den norske
-vernetiden på
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1961-05-12-2&quot;&gt;Lovdata&lt;/a&gt;
-og &lt;/a&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/A&gt;.  Her er et relevant &lt;a
-href=&quot;https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opphavsrett#Vernetid&quot;&gt;utsnitt fra
-siden om opphavsrett i den norske Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Having a fresh copy of the license text was useful, and knowing
+that the definition of Title-by-Title required payment per title made
+me aware that my earlier understanding of that phrase had been wrong.
+But I still had a few questions:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

-  Ifølge åndsverkloven §§ 40-41 utløper vernetiden for et åndsverk 70
-  år etter utløpet av opphavspersonens dødsår.  [...]  For filmverk
-  gjelder særlige regler: Her kommer ikke alle mulige opphavspersoner
-  i betraktning, men kun hovedregissøren, manusforfatteren,
-  dialogforfatteren og komponisten av filmmusikken. Vernetiden
-  begynner å løpe etter utgangen av dødsåret til den lengstlevende av
-  disse. [...] Der opphavspersonen er ukjent, utløper opphavsretten 70
-  år etter første kjente offentliggjørelse av verket. Det er kun de
-  økonomiske rettighetene som faller bort i det vernetiden er
-  utløpt. De ideelle rettighetene må fortsatt respekteres, noe som
-  blant annet innebærer at man plikter å navngi opphavspersonen ved
-  tilgjengeliggjøring.
+&lt;p&gt;I have a small followup question.  Would it be possible for me to get
+a license with MPEG LA even if there are no royalties to be paid?  The
+reason I ask, is that some video related products have a copyright
+clause limiting their use without a license with MPEG LA.  The clauses
+typically look similar to this:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+  This product is licensed under the AVC patent portfolio license for
+  the personal and non-commercial use of a consumer to (a) encode
+  video in compliance with the AVC standard (&quot;AVC video&quot;) and/or (b)
+  decode AVC video that was encoded by a consumer engaged in a
+  personal and non-commercial activity and/or AVC video that was
+  obtained from a video provider licensed to provide AVC video. No
+  license is granted or shall be implied for any other use. additional
+  information may be obtained from MPEG LA L.L.C.

 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;dt&gt;Kamera
-&lt;dd&gt;Mike Marcus (?-?)&lt;/dd&gt;

-&lt;/dl&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Alle fødsels- og dødsdatoene er fra engelske Wikipedia.  Det er
-ikke oppgitt navn på manusforfatter, dialogforfatter og komponist, men
-jeg mistenker at tegnerne vil få opphavsrettigheter på tegnefilmer her
-i Norge, og tar derfor med disse.  Kameramannen vil ikke få noen
-rettigheter så vidt jeg forstår, og er derfor ignorert her.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Slik jeg forstår den norske opphavsretten vil dermed dette
-filmverket bli allemannseie (også kalt å falle i det fri) i 2053, 126
-år etter at det ble utgitt.  Hvis kun regissørens rettigheter er
-relevante, vil det skje i 2037, 110 år etter at det ble utgitt.  Etter
-det vil enhver kunne dele det med alle de har lyst til, fremføre det
-offentlig eller klippe og lime i det for å lage sin egen film basert
-på det - helt uten å måtte spørre noen om lov.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Måtte så Nasjonalbiblioteket spørre om lov før de kunne kopiere
-sitt nitrat-eksemplar over på mer varig format?  Nei, heldigvis.
-Åndsverklovens § 16 sier at arkiv, bibliotek, museer og undervisnings-
-og forskningsinstitusjoner har rett til å fremstille eksemplar av verk
-for konserverings- og sikringsformål og andre særskilte formål.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;By now, it is well known that Debian Jessie will not be using

-&lt;tt&gt;/etc/apt/preferences.d/use-sysvinit&lt;/tt&gt; with this content before
-you upgrade:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-Package: systemd-sysv
-Pin: release o=Debian
-Pin-Priority: -1
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This file content will tell apt and aptitude to not consider
-installing systemd-sysv as part of any installation and upgrade
-solution when resolving dependencies, and thus tell it to avoid
-systemd as a default boot system.  The end result should be that the
-upgraded system keep using sysvinit.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you are installing Jessie for the first time, there is no way to
-get sysvinit installed by default (debootstrap used by
-debian-installer have no option for this), but one can tell the
-installer to switch to sysvinit before the first boot.  Either by
-using a kernel argument to the installer, or by adding a line to the
-preseed file used.  First, the kernel command line argument:
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-preseed/late_command=&quot;in-target apt-get install --purge -y sysvinit-core&quot;
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Next, the line to use in a preseed file:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-d-i preseed/late_command string in-target apt-get install -y sysvinit-core
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;One can of course also do this after the first boot by installing
-the sysvinit-core package.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I recommend only using sysvinit if you really need it, as the
-sysvinit boot sequence in Debian have several hardware specific bugs
-on Linux caused by the fact that it is unpredictable when hardware
-devices show up during boot.  But on the other hand, the new default
-boot system still have a few rough edges I hope will be fixed before
-Jessie is released.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_vurderer_regjeringen_H_264_patentutfordringen_.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_vurderer_regjeringen_H_264_patentutfordringen_.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Sun, 16 Nov 2014 10:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;For en stund tilbake spurte jeg Fornyingsdepartementet om hvilke
-juridiske vurderinger rundt patentproblemstillingen som var gjort da
-H.264 ble tatt inn i &lt;a href=&quot;http://standard.difi.no/&quot;&gt;statens
-referansekatalog over standarder&lt;/a&gt;.  Stig Hornnes i FAD tipset meg
-om følgende som står i oppsumeringen til høringen om
-referansekatalogen versjon 2.0, som jeg siden ved hjelp av en
-innsynsforespørsel fikk tak i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.nuug.no/uttalelser/200901-standardkatalog-v2?action=AttachFile&amp;do=get&amp;target=kongelig-resolusjon.pdf&quot;&gt;PDF-utgaven av&lt;/a&gt;
-datert 2009-06-03 (saksnummer 200803291, saksbehandler Henrik
-Linnestad).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Der står det følgende om problemstillingen:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;It is unclear to me if this clause mean that I need to enter into
+an agreement with MPEG LA to use the product in question, even if
+there are no royalties to be paid to MPEG LA.  I suspect it will
+differ depending on the jurisdiction, and mine is Norway.  What is
+MPEG LAs view on this?&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;According to the answer, MPEG LA believe those using such tools for
+non-personal or commercial use need a license with them:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

-&lt;strong&gt;4.4 Patentproblematikk&lt;/strong&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;NUUG og Opera ser det som særlig viktig at forslagene knyttet til
-lyd og video baserer seg på de royalty-frie standardene Vorbis, Theora
-og FLAC.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Kommentarene relaterer seg til at enkelte standarder er åpne, men
-inneholder tekniske prosedyrer som det i USA (og noen andre land som
-Japan) er gitt patentrettigheter til. I vårt tilfelle berører dette
-spesielt standardene Mp3 og H.264, selv om Politidirektoratet peker på
-at det muligens kan være tilsvarende problematikk også for Theora og
-Vorbis.  Dette medfører at det i USA kan kreves royalties for bruk av
-tekniske løsninger knyttet til standardene, et krav som også
-håndheves. Patenter kan imidlertid bare hevdes i de landene hvor
-patentet er gitt, så amerikanske patenter gjelder ikke andre steder
-enn USA.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Spesielt for utvikling av fri programvare er patenter
-problematisk. GPL, en &quot;grunnleggende&quot; lisens for distribusjon av fri
-programvare, avviser at programvare kan distribueres under denne
-lisensen hvis det inneholder referanser til patenterte rutiner som
-utløser krav om royalties. Det er imidlertid uproblematisk å
-distribuere fri programvareløsninger under GPL som benytter de
-aktuelle standardene innen eller mellom land som ikke anerkjenner
-patentene. Derfor finner vi også flere implementeringer av Mp3 og
-H.264 som er fri programvare, lisensiert under GPL.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I Norge og EU er patentlovgivningen langt mer restriktiv enn i USA,
-men det er også her mulig å få patentert metoder for løsning av et
-problem som relaterer seg til databehandling. Det er AIF bekjent ikke
-relevante patenter i EU eller Norge hva gjelder H.264 og Mp3, men
-muligheten for at det finnes patenter uten at det er gjort krav om
-royalties eller at det senere vil gis slike patenter kan ikke helt
-avvises.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;AIF mener det er et behov for å gi offentlige virksomheter mulighet
-til å benytte antatt royaltyfrie åpne standarder som et likeverdig
-alternativ eller i tillegg til de markedsledende åpne standardene.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;With regard to the Notice to Customers, I would like to begin by
+clarifying that the Notice from Section 7.1 of the AVC License
+reads:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;THIS PRODUCT IS LICENSED UNDER THE AVC PATENT PORTFOLIO LICENSE FOR
+THE PERSONAL USE OF A CONSUMER OR OTHER USES IN WHICH IT DOES NOT
+RECEIVE REMUNERATION TO (i) ENCODE VIDEO IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AVC
+STANDARD (&quot;AVC VIDEO&quot;) AND/OR (ii) DECODE AVC VIDEO THAT WAS ENCODED
+BY A CONSUMER ENGAGED IN A PERSONAL ACTIVITY AND/OR WAS OBTAINED FROM
+A VIDEO PROVIDER LICENSED TO PROVIDE AVC VIDEO. NO LICENSE IS GRANTED
+OR SHALL BE IMPLIED FOR ANY OTHER USE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE
+OBTAINED FROM MPEG LA, L.L.C. SEE HTTP://WWW.MPEGLA.COM&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The Notice to Customers is intended to inform End Users of the
+personal usage rights (for example, to watch video content) included
+with the product they purchased, and to encourage any party using the
+product for commercial purposes to contact MPEG LA in order to become
+licensed for such use (for example, when they use an AVC Product to
+deliver Title-by-Title, Subscription, Free Television or Internet
+Broadcast AVC Video to End Users, or to re-Sell a third party&#39;s AVC
+Product as their own branded AVC Product).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Therefore, if a party is to be licensed for its use of an AVC
+Product to Sell AVC Video on a Title-by-Title, Subscription, Free
+Television or Internet Broadcast basis, that party would need to
+conclude the AVC License, even in the case where no royalties were
+payable under the License.  On the other hand, if that party (either a
+Consumer or business customer) simply uses an AVC Product for their
+own internal purposes and not for the commercial purposes referenced
+above, then such use would be included in the royalty paid for the AVC
+Products by the licensed supplier.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finally, I note that our AVC License provides worldwide coverage in
+countries that have AVC Patent Portfolio Patents, including
+Norway.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I hope this clarification is helpful.  If I may be of any further
+assistance, just let me know.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The mentioning of Norwegian patents made me a bit confused, so I
+asked for more information:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But one minor question at the end.  If I understand you correctly,
+you state in the quote above that there are patents in the AVC Patent
+Portfolio that are valid in Norway.  This make me believe I read the
+list available from &amp;lt;URL:
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/PatentList.aspx&quot;&gt;http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/PatentList.aspx&lt;/a&gt;
+&amp;gt; incorrectly, as I believed the &quot;NO&quot; prefix in front of patents
+were Norwegian patents, and the only one I could find under Mitsubishi
+Electric Corporation expired in 2012.  Which patents are you referring
+to that are relevant for Norway?&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Det ser dermed ikke ut til at de har vurdert patentspørsmålet i
-sammenheng med opphavsrettsvilkår slik de er formulert for f.eks.
-Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid og Sorenson-verktøyene,
-der det kreves brukstillatelse for patenter som ikke er gyldige i
-Norge for å bruke disse verktøyene til annet en personlig og ikke
-kommersiell aktivitet når det gjelder H.264-video.  Jeg må nok lete
-videre etter svar på det spørsmålet.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Again, the quick answer explained how to read the list of patents
+in that list:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Your understanding is correct that the last AVC Patent Portfolio
+Patent in Norway expired on 21 October 2012.  Therefore, where AVC
+Video is both made and Sold in Norway after that date, then no
+royalties would be payable for such AVC Video under the AVC License.
+With that said, our AVC License provides historic coverage for AVC
+Products and AVC Video that may have been manufactured or Sold before
+the last Norwegian AVC patent expired.  I would also like to clarify
+that coverage is provided for the country of manufacture and the
+country of Sale that has active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Therefore, if a party offers AVC Products or AVC Video for Sale in
+a country with active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents (for example,
+Sweden, Denmark, Finland, etc.), then that party would still need
+coverage under the AVC License even if such products or video are
+initially made in a country without active AVC Patent Portfolio
+Patents (for example, Norway).  Similarly, a party would need to
+conclude the AVC License if they make AVC Products or AVC Video in a
+country with active AVC Patent Portfolio Patents, but eventually Sell
+such AVC Products or AVC Video in a country without active AVC Patent
+Portfolio Patents.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As far as I understand it, MPEG LA believe anyone using Adobe
+Premiere and other video related software with a H.264 distribution
+license need a license agreement with MPEG LA to use such tools for
+anything non-private or commercial, while it is OK to set up a
+Youtube-like service as long as no-one pays to get access to the
+content.  I still have no clear idea how this applies to Norway, where
+none of the patents MPEG LA is licensing are valid.  Will the
+copyright terms take precedence or can those terms be ignored because
+the patents are not valid in Norway?&lt;/p&gt;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_Debian_package_for_SMTP_via_Tor__aka_SMTorP__using_exim4.html</link>

-                <pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2014 13:40:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The right to communicate with your friends and family in private,
-without anyone snooping, is a right every citicen have in a liberal
-democracy.  But this right is under serious attack these days.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A while back it occurred to me that one way to make the dragnet
-surveillance conducted by NSA, GCHQ, FRA and others (and confirmed by
-the whisleblower Snowden) more expensive for Internet email,
-is to deliver all email using SMTP via Tor.  Such SMTP option would be
-a nice addition to the FreedomBox project if we could send email
-between FreedomBox machines without leaking metadata about the emails
-to the people peeking on the wire.  I
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2014-October/006493.html&quot;&gt;proposed
-this on the FreedomBox project mailing list in October&lt;/a&gt; and got a
-lot of useful feedback and suggestions.  It also became obvious to me
-that this was not a novel idea, as the same idea was tested and
-documented by Johannes Berg as early as 2006, and both
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/pagekite/Mailpile/wiki/SMTorP&quot;&gt;the
-Mailpile&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://dee.su/cables&quot;&gt;the Cables&lt;/a&gt; systems
-propose a similar method / protocol to pass emails between users.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To implement such system one need to set up a Tor hidden service
-providing the SMTP protocol on port 25, and use email addresses
-looking like username@hidden-service-name.onion.  With such addresses
-the connections to port 25 on hidden-service-name.onion using Tor will
-go to the correct SMTP server.  To do this, one need to configure the
-Tor daemon to provide the hidden service and the mail server to accept
-emails for this .onion domain.  To learn more about Exim configuration
-in Debian and test the design provided by Johannes Berg in his FAQ, I
-set out yesterday to create a Debian package for making it trivial to
-set up such SMTP over Tor service based on Debian.  Getting it to work
-were fairly easy, and
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/exim4-smtorp&quot;&gt;the
-source code for the Debian package&lt;/a&gt; is available from github.  I
-plan to move it into Debian if further testing prove this to be a
-useful approach.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to test this, set up a blank Debian machine without any
-mail system installed (or run &lt;tt&gt;apt-get purge exim4-config&lt;/tt&gt; to
-get rid of exim4).  Install tor, clone the git repository mentioned
-above, build the deb and install it on the machine.  Next, run
-&lt;tt&gt;/usr/lib/exim4-smtorp/setup-exim-hidden-service&lt;/tt&gt; and follow
-the instructions to get the service up and running.  Restart tor and
-exim when it is done, and test mail delivery using swaks like
-this:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-torsocks swaks --server dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion \
-  --to fbx@dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This will test the SMTP delivery using tor.  Replace the email
-address with your own address to test your server. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The setup procedure is still to complex, and I hope it can be made
-easier and more automatic.  Especially the tor setup need more work.
-Also, the package include a tor-smtp tool written in C, but its task
-should probably be rewritten in some script language to make the deb
-architecture independent.  It would probably also make the code easier
-to review.  The tor-smtp tool currently need to listen on a socket for
-exim to talk to it and is started using xinetd.  It would be better if
-no daemon and no socket is needed.  I suspect it is possible to get
-exim to run a command line tool for delivery instead of talking to a
-socket, and hope to figure out how in a future version of this
-system.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Until I wipe my test machine, I can be reached using the
-&lt;tt&gt;fbx@dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion&lt;/tt&gt; mail address, deliverable over
-SMTorP. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/New_laptop___some_more_clues_and_ideas_based_on_feedback.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/New_laptop___some_more_clues_and_ideas_based_on_feedback.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Sun, 5 Jul 2015 21:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Several people contacted me after my previous blog post about my
+need for a new laptop, and provided very useful feedback.  I wish to
+thank every one of these.  Several pointed me to the possibility of
+fixing my X230, and I am already in the process of getting Lenovo to
+do so thanks to the on site, next day support contract covering the
+machine.  But the battery is almost useless (I expect to replace it
+with a non-official battery) and I do not expect the machine to live
+for many more years, so it is time to plan its replacement.  If I did
+not have a support contract, it was suggested to find replacement parts
+using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.francecrans.com/&quot;&gt;FrancEcrans&lt;/a&gt;, but it
+might present a language barrier as I do not understand French.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;One tip I got was to use the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=nb&quot;&gt;Skinflint&lt;/a&gt; web service to
+compare laptop models.  It seem to have more models available than
+prisjakt.no.  Another tip I got from someone I know have similar
+keyboard preferences was that the HP EliteBook 840 keyboard is not
+very good, and this matches my experience with earlier EliteBook
+keyboards I tested.  Because of this, I will not consider it any further.
+
+&lt;p&gt;When I wrote my blog post, I was not aware of Thinkpad X250, the
+newest Thinkpad X model.  The keyboard reintroduces mouse buttons
+(which is missing from the X240), and is working fairly well with
+Debian Sid/Unstable according to
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corsac.net/X250/&quot;&gt;Corsac.net&lt;/a&gt;.  The reports I
+got on the keyboard quality are not consistent.  Some say the keyboard
+is good, others say it is ok, while others say it is not very good.
+Those with experience from X41 and and X60 agree that the X250
+keyboard is not as good as those trusty old laptops, and suggest I
+keep and fix my X230 instead of upgrading, or get a used X230 to
+replace it.  I&#39;m also told that the X250 lack leds for caps lock, disk
+activity and battery status, which is very convenient on my X230.  I&#39;m
+also told that the CPU fan is running very often, making it a bit
+noisy.  In any case, the X250 do not work out of the box with Debian
+Stable/Jessie, one of my requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I have also gotten a few vendor proposals, one was
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://pro-star.com&quot;&gt;Pro-Star&lt;/a&gt;, another was
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/product/libreboot-x200/&quot;&gt;Libreboot&lt;/a&gt;.
+The latter look very attractive to me.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Again, thank you all for the very useful feedback.  It help a lot
+as I keep looking for a replacement.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2015-07-06: I was recommended to check out the
+&lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;lapstore.de&lt;/a&gt; web shop for used laptops.  They got several
+different
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lapstore.de/f.php/shop/lapstore/f/411/lang/x/kw/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X_Serie/&quot;&gt;old
+thinkpad X models&lt;/a&gt;, and provide one year warranty.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;My primary work horse laptop is failing, and will need a
+replacement soon.  The left 5 cm of the screen on my Thinkpad X230
+started flickering yesterday, and I suspect the cause is a broken
+cable, as changing the angle of the screen some times get rid of the
+flickering.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My requirements have not really changed since I bought it, and is
+still as
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Thank_you_Thinkpad_X41__for_your_long_and_trustworthy_service.html&quot;&gt;I
+described them in 2013&lt;/a&gt;.  The last time I bought a laptop, I had
+good help from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prisjakt.no/category.php?k=353&quot;&gt;prisjakt.no&lt;/a&gt;
+where I could select at least a few of the requirements (mouse pin,
+wifi, weight) and go through the rest manually.  Three button mouse
+and a good keyboard is not available as an option, and all the three
+laptop models proposed today (Thinkpad X240, HP EliteBook 820 G1 and
+G2) lack three mouse buttons).  It is also unclear to me how good the
+keyboard on the HP EliteBooks are.  I hope Lenovo have not messed up
+the keyboard, even if the quality and robustness in the X series have
+deteriorated since X41.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I wonder how I can find a sensible laptop when none of the options
+seem sensible to me?  Are there better services around to search the
+set of available laptops for features?  Please send me an email if you
+have suggestions.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2015-07-23: I got a suggestion to check out the FSF
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom&quot;&gt;list
+of endorsed hardware&lt;/a&gt;, which is useful background information.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Last oktober I was involved on behalf of
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt; with recording the talks at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makercon.no/&quot;&gt;MakerCon Nordic&lt;/a&gt;, a conference for
+the Maker movement.  Since then it has been the plan to publish the
+recordings on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;, which
+finally happened the last few days.  A few talks are missing because
+the speakers asked the organizers to not publish them, but most of the
+talks are available.  The talks are being broadcasted on RiksTV
+channel 50 and using multicast on Uninett, as well as being available
+from the Frikanalen web site.  The unedited recordings are
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/user/MakerConNordic/&quot;&gt;available on
+Youtube too&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

-The Debian Edu Team is pleased to announce the release of Debian Edu
-Jessie 8.0+edu0~alpha0
-
-Debian Edu is a complete operating system for schools. Through its
-various installation profiles you can install servers, workstations
-and laptops which will work together on the school network. With
-Debian Edu, the teachers themselves or their technical support can
-roll out a complete multi-user multi-machine study environment within
-hours or a few days. Debian Edu comes with hundreds of applications
-pre-installed, but you can always add more packages from Debian.
-
-For those who want to give Debian Edu Jessie a try, download and
-installation instructions are available, including detailed
-instructions in the manual[1] explaining the first steps, such as
-setting up a network or adding users. Please note that the password
-for the user your prompted for during installation must have a length
-of at least 5 characters!

-
-Would you like to give your school&#39;s computer a longer life? Are you
-tired of sneaker administration, running from computer to computer
-reinstalling the operating system? Would you like to administrate all
-the computers in your school using only a couple of hours every week?
-Check out Debian Edu Jessie!
-
-Skolelinux is used by at least two hundred schools all over the world,
-mostly in Germany and Norway.
-
-About Debian Edu and Skolelinux
-===============================
-
-Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux[2], 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 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 more than 60 educational software
-packages[3] and more are available from the Debian archive, and
-schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE, Xfce and MATE desktop
-environment.

+      Inspiration (Hege Langlo)&lt;/li&gt;

 
 

-The Debian Project was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly
-free community project. Since then the project has grown to be one of
-the largest and most influential open source projects. Thousands of
-volunteers from all over the world work together to create and
-maintain Debian software. Available in 70 languages, and supporting a
-huge range of computer types, Debian calls itself the universal
-operating system.
+  &lt;li&gt;Making a toy for makers (Erik Torstensson)&lt;/li&gt;

+  &lt;li&gt;Hovering Clouds: Looking at online tool offerings for Product
+      Design and 3D Printing (William Kempton)&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Travelling maker stories (Øyvind Nydal Dahl)&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Making the first Maker Faire in Sweden (Nils Olander)&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Breaking the mold: Printing 1000’s of parts (Espen Sivertsen)&lt;/li&gt;

+      Dyvik)&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;The Impact of the Maker Movement (Mike Senese)&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Part of the reason this took so long was that the scripts NUUG had
+to prepare a recording for publication were five years old and no
+longer worked with the current video processing tools (command line
+argument changes).  In addition, we needed better audio normalization,
+which sent me on a detour to
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Measuring_and_adjusting_the_loudness_of_a_TV_channel_using_bs1770gain.html&quot;&gt;package
+bs1770gain for Debian&lt;/a&gt;.  Now this is in place and it became a lot
+easier to publish NUUG videos on Frikanalen.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I spent last weekend at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makercon.no/&quot;&gt;Makercon
-Nordic&lt;/a&gt;, a great conference and workshop for makers in Norway and
-the surrounding countries.  I had volunteered on behalf of the
-Norwegian Unix Users Group (NUUG) to video record the talks, and we
-had a great and exhausting time recording the entire day, two days in
-a row.  There were only two of us, Hans-Petter and me, and we used the
-regular video equipment for NUUG, with a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/&quot;&gt;dvswitch&lt;/a&gt;, a
-camera and a VGA to DV convert box, and mixed video and slides
-live.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hans-Petter did the post-processing, consisting of uploading the
-around 180 GiB of raw video to Youtube, and the result is
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/user/MakerConNordic/&quot;&gt;now becoming
-public&lt;/a&gt; on the MakerConNordic account.  The videos have the license
-NUUG always use on our recordings, which is
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/no/&quot;&gt;Creative
-Commons Navngivelse-Del på samme vilkår 3.0 Norge&lt;/a&gt;.  Many great
-talks available.  Check it out! :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvem_f_rer_Medietilsynet_tilsyn_med_.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvem_f_rer_Medietilsynet_tilsyn_med_.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Sun, 28 Jun 2015 23:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I en global verden med eierskap på tvers, trengs det informasjon om
+hvem som har kontrollen i selskaper og bedrifter.  Og for å få tilgang
+til slik informasjon for alle som ønsker å analysere eierskap, holder
+med ikke med nasjonale databaser over eierskap, det må globale
+samledatabaser med åpne data til.  Heldigvis finnes det en
+internasjonal bevegelse for å gjøre selskapsinformasjon for alle land
+offentlig tilgjengelig.  En slik database heter
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://opencorporates.com&quot;&gt;OpenCorporates&lt;/a&gt;, der
+informasjonen er gratis tilgjengelig med en &quot;del på samme
+vilkår&quot;-lisens.  De samler inn selskapsinformasjon, eierskap,
+konsesjonstildelinger og lignende.  De manglet ganske mye for Norge,
+da bruksvilkårene til Norsk offentlig informasjon i stor grad
+blokkerer OpenCorporates fra å samle den inn.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Men jeg er jo involvert i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;, som har
+TV-konsesjon, og tenkte det kunne være fint om informasjon om alle
+mediakonsesjoner var tilgjengelig i OpenCorporates, så jeg sendte
+avgårde følgende spørsmål til Medietilsynet 2015-06-22:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Finnes det en oversikt over enhetene som Mediatilsynet fører
+tilsyn med som åpne data?  Jeg lette etter den på
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://data.norge.no/&quot;&gt;http://data.norge.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; og
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://hotell.difi.no/&quot;&gt;http://hotell.difi.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; uten å
+finne noe der, og fant heller ikke noe under
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medietilsynet.no/&quot;&gt;http://www.medietilsynet.no/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg tenker på alle som har fått kringkastingskonsesjon og alle som
+er omtalt under
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebildet/&quot;&gt;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebildet/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg skulle gjerne hatt dette maskinlesbart, og inkludert
+organisasjonsnummer og hva slags forhold mediatilsynet har til
+organisasjonene.  Tanken er å importere det i
+&amp;lt;URL:&lt;a href=&quot;https://opencorporates.com/&quot;&gt;https://opencorporates.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; for analyse, så det bør ikke ha
+bruksbegresninger som gjør dette umulig.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To dager senere fikk jeg svar, med de datasettene de hadde
+tilgjengelig.  Svaret fra Hanne Sekkelsten hos Medietilsynet var
+informativt og imøtekommende.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Vi viser til din e-post av 22. juni, der du ber om å få tilsendt oversikter
+over aktører Medietilsynet fører tilsyn med.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Medietilsynet fører tilsyn med kringkastere og audiovisuelle
+bestillingstjenester som omfattes av kringkastingsloven, og med
+eierskap i aviser, fjernsyn radio og elektroniske medier etter
+medieeierskapsloven. I tillegg vil Medietilsynet etter at
+beskyttelsesloven trer i kraft fra 1. juli ha tilsyn med en rekke nye
+aktører. Nærmere informasjon om den nye loven finnes på Medietilsynets
+nettsted, her:
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebransjen/bildeprogramloven/&quot;&gt;http://www.medietilsynet.no/mediebransjen/bildeprogramloven/&lt;/a&gt;
+.  Vi har ikke utarbeidet oversikter over alle aktørene, men vi sender
+deg her de listene vi har utarbeidet, hentet fra våre databaser. Vi
+har dessverre ikke ferdige rapporter som inneholder
+organisasjonsnummer. Dersom du ønsker flere opplysninger ber vi om at
+du tar kontakt med oss slik at vi kan finne ut av hvilke opplysninger
+du trenger, og hvilke vi kan fremskaffe.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Desverre er formatene for ustrukturerte til maskinell behandling og
+mangler endel informasjon, men det er gode oversikter over hvem
+Medietilsynet fører tilsyn med.  Filene er på formatene PDF, XPS
+(XML-basert PDF-lignende format fra Microsoft) og DOCX, så det vil
+være en stor jobb å strukturere informasjonen på en måte som kan
+importeres i OpenCorporates.  Svaret er ikke i tråd med
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lovdata.no/dokument/SF/forskrift/2013-04-05-959&quot;&gt;Forskrift
+om IT-standarder i offentlig forvaltning&lt;/a&gt; som sier epostvedlegg
+skal sendes som PDF, så jeg har gjorde PDF-utgaver av XPS og
+DOCX-utgavene tilgjengelig for å gjøre det enklere for alle å se
+innholdet.&lt;/p&gt;
