- <description>Here in Norway, electronic invoices are spreading, and the
-<a href="http://www.anskaffelser.no/e-handel/faktura">solution promoted
-by the Norwegian government</a> 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
-"electronic" 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
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard">the vCard format</a>, as
-it too is supported by a lot of computer equipment these days.</p>
-
-<p>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
-<a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html">ask
-for donations to the Debian Edu project</a> and thus have bank account
-information publicly available) for NOK 1000.00 could have these extra
-fields:</p>

+ <description><p>I've run into quite a problem the last few days. I bought three
+new laptops for my parents and a few others. I bought Packard Bell
+Easynote LV to run Kubuntu on and use as their home computer. But I
+am completely unable to figure out how to install Linux on it. The
+computer is preinstalled with Windows 8, and I suspect it uses UEFI
+instead of a BIOS to boot.</p>
+
+<p>The problem is that I am unable to get it to PXE boot, and unable
+to get it to boot the Linux installer from my USB stick. I have yet
+to try the DVD install, and still hope it will work. when I turn on
+the computer, there is no information on what buttons to press to get
+the normal boot menu. I expect to get some boot menu to select PXE or
+USB stick booting. When booting, it first ask for the language to
+use, then for some regional settings, and finally if I will accept the
+Windows 8 terms of use. As these terms are completely unacceptable to
+me, I have no other choice but to turn off the computer and try again
+to get it to boot the Linux installer.</p>
+
+<p>I have gathered my findings so far on a Linlap page about the
+<a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Packard Bell
+EasyNote LV</a> model. If you have any idea how to get Linux
+installed on this machine, please get in touch or update that wiki
+page. If I can't find a way to install Linux, I will have to return
+the laptop to the seller and find another machine for my parents.</p>
+
+<p>I wonder, is this the way Linux will be forced out of the marked
+using UEFI and "secure boot" by making it impossible to install Linux
+on new Laptops?</p>

+ <description><p>En ting
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux-prosjektet</a> har
+hatt mye glede av er studentprosjekter. F.eks. er
+<a href="http://linuxstopmotion.org/">stillbildeanimasjonssystemet
+Stopmotion</a> resultat av et studentprosjekt i Skolelinux. De siste
+månedene har en ivrig student veiledet av Marius Kotsbak i
+<a href="http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no/">FRiSK</a> testet hva en
+kan få til med en datamaskin til NOK 400,- (antagelig 1700,- med
+skjerm, tastatur og mus) når det brukes i Skolelinux. Jeg spurte han
+om et intervju.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Jeg heter Nirosan Thiyagalingam. Jeg er 24 år og studerer
+dataingeniør studiet ved Høgskolen i Sør Trøndelag. Interessen for
+data har siden ung alder vært tilstede og jeg har i tillegg alltid
+vært glad i å lære nye ting. Med teknologi som endres svært hurtig er
+det alltid noe nytt å lære. Noe som igjen har gjort det svært
+interessant å følge med på utviklingen. Jeg valgte dataingeniør
+studiet grunnet ønske om å lære enda mer om programmering og utvikling
+av store systemer.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Skolelinux prosjektet hørte jeg først om i media. Men det var først
+når jeg skulle velge bacheloroppgave at jeg fattet mer interesse for
+prosjektet. Et enkelt søk på nettet førte meg til skolelinux sine
+hjemmesider. Informasjonen jeg fant der gjorde meg enda nysgjerrig og
+jeg valgte derfor en oppgave som gikk ut på å få en
+<a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org">Raspberry PI</a>. Altså en
+ultra-billig datamaskin til å kjøre Debian Edu på lik linje med
+vanlige datamaskiner. I løpet av prosjektet ble det gjort mye
+forskning på nettet. Det var mye jeg måtte forstå rundt hvordan
+operativsystemet Linux fungerte før jeg kunne angripe
+problemet. Prøvde først å finne ut hvordan man kunne transformere en
+vanlig installasjon av Skolelinux til Raspberry PI, men dette var
+altfor vanskelig å jeg endte opp med mer spørsmål enn svar. Det ble
+videre opprettet kontakt med Skolelinux utviklere på IRC der jeg fikk
+diskutert hvilken retning jeg burde gå for å få til en fullverdig
+løsning. Det ble bestemt at jeg skulle gå for å først installere
+<a href="http://www.raspbian.org/">Raspian</a>. Dette er et
+operativsystem basert på Debian spesiallaget for Raspberry Pi sin
+maskinvare. Nå som Debian var installert på datamaskinen gjenstod det
+å installere de nødvendige Skolelinux pakkene for å få til et
+fullverdig system. Disse pakkene ble installert manuelt i første
+omgang, men ble senere installert automatisk via et script som Petter
+Reinholdtsen laget. Dette scriptet er så enkel å bruke at man er i
+gang med installasjonen i løpet av bare 5 minutter. Ikke nok med det,
+alt skjer helt automatisk. Alt i alt er jeg veldig fornøyd med
+resultatet av installasjonsprosessen. Raspberry Pi er en veldig svak
+maskin og det merkes godt når man har installert Skolelinux på
+den. Video og 3D-rendering fungerer utrolig dårlig, men nettsurfing og
+kontorprogrammer fungerer godt. Det kan derfor konkluderes med at
+datamaskinen er egnet for enkle oppgaver.
+
+<p>Jeg syns det er viktig påpeke at dette kun er startfasen av en slik
+løsning. På markedet finnes det nå maskiner som har bedre hardware enn
+Raspberry Pi. Det er store muligheter for at man kan klare å
+installere Skolelinux på disse også, og da forsvinner nok mest
+sannsynlig ytelsesproblemene med Video og 3D rendering også.</p>
+
+<p>Det ble også prøvd med en løsning som gjorde at Raspberry Pi
+fungerte som en tynnklient. Denne løsningen hadde langt bedre ytelse
+med tanke på hastighet og brukeropplevelse. Men også her var video og
+3D rendering dårlig. Det ble brukt en liten Linux distribusjon kalt
+<a href="http://www.berryterminal.com/">BerryTerminal</a> for å få til
+dette.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Fordelen med Skolelinux er mange. At det er gratis er en stor
+fordel, men at det er så mange som er med på å utvikle det og
+vedlikeholde det er en enda større fordel. Allerede før jeg startet
+med prosjektet så jeg mange fordeler, og når jeg nærmet meg sluttfasen
+så jeg langt flere. At prosjektet skulle inneha en så høy kvalitet
+hadde jeg aldri trodd. En vanlig Skolelinux installasjon har de
+nødvendige programmene og funksjonen som både små og store skoler i
+tillegg til organisasjoner kan klare seg med. At prosjektet tilbyr en
+så komplett løsning er en kjempefordel. Installasjonen er knirkefri
+og det er svært enkelt å installere og komme i gang.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Ulempene jeg ser med prosjektet er ryddigheten av websidene. Selv
+om websidene er enkle og konsise er det allikevel ikke appellerende i
+like stor grad som for eksempel
+<a href="http://www.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</a> sine sider. Deres side
+tilbyr, i tillegg til godt design og presentasjon, en nettbasert
+emulator av deres operativsystem. Dette er en stor fordel slik jeg ser
+det. Bortsett fra dette ser jeg absolutt ingen ulemper med
+Skolelinux-prosjektet.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Til daglig er jeg en flittig bruker av det åpne media
+sentersystemet <a href="http://xbmc.org/">XBMC</a>. Det enorme
+samfunnet rundt dette prosjektet har gjort dette til et program som
+dekker alles behov. Man kan tilpasse det akkurat slik man vil både med
+tanke på utseende og funksjoner ved installere plug-ins eller
+scripts.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
+skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Strategien som burde brukes sett fra mine øyne er
+markedsføring. Jeg er sikker på at om flere skoler fikk et lite innsyn
+i hvor bra Skolelinux er så ville de ikke nølt med å gå over fra noe
+annet som koster de store summer. At skolelinux til de grader tilbyr
+en så komplett løsning bure komme frem. Enten via reklamekampanjer
+eller ved å sende ut folk til skoler for så å la skolenettverk
+ansvarlige få teste ut hvordan Skolelinux fungerer i praksis. Om det
+i tillegg ble utviklet gode websider og en emulator for å la brukere
+prøve operativsystemet ville nok dette ha styrket inntrykket
+betraktelig.</p>

+ <description><p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a> is
+an operating system based on Debian intended for use in schools. It
+contain a turn-key solution for the computer network provided to
+pupils in the primary schools. It provide both the central server,
+network boot servers and desktop environments with heaps of
+educational software. The project was founded almost 12 years ago,
+2001-07-02. If you want to support the project, which is in need for
+cash to fund developer gatherings and other project related activity,
+<a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html">please
+donate some money</a>.
+
+<p>A topic that come up again and again on the Debian Edu mailing
+lists and elsewhere, is the question on how to transform a Debian or
+Ubuntu installation into a Debian Edu installation. It isn't very
+hard, and last week I wrote a script to replicate the steps done by
+the Debian Edu installer.</p>
+
+<p>The script,
+<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/branches/wheezy/debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu-config/tools/debian-edu-bless?view=markup">debian-edu-bless<a/>
+in the debian-edu-config package, will go through these six steps and
+transform an existing Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu (untested) installation
+into a Debian Edu Workstation:</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Add skolelinux related APT sources.</li>
+<li>Create /etc/debian-edu/config with the wanted configuration.</li>
+<li>Install debian-edu-install to load preseeding values and pull in
+ our configuration.</li>
+<li>Preseed debconf database with profile setup in
+ /etc/debian-edu/config, and run tasksel to install packages
+ according to the profile specified in the config above,
+ overriding some of the Debian automation machinery.</li>
+<li>Run debian-edu-cfengine-D installation to configure everything
+ that could not be done using preseeding.</li>
+<li>Ask for a reboot to enable all the configuration changes.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>There are some steps in the Debian Edu installation that can not be
+replicated like this. Disk partitioning and LVM setup, for example.
+So this script just assume there is enough disk space to install all
+the needed packages.</p>
+
+<p>The script was created to help a Debian Edu student working on
+setting up <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org">Raspberry Pi</a> as a
+Debian Edu client, and using it he can take the existing
+<a href="http://www.raspbian.org/FrontPage">Raspbian</a> installation and
+transform it into a fully functioning Debian Edu Workstation (or
+Roaming Workstation, or whatever :).</p>
+
+<p>The default setting in the script is to create a KDE Workstation.
+If a LXDE based Roaming workstation is wanted instead, modify the
+PROFILE and DESKTOP values at the top to look like this instead:</p>
<p><pre>
-X-INVOICE-NUMBER:1
-X-INVOICE-AMOUNT:NOK1000.00
-X-INVOICE-KID:123412341234
-X-INVOICE-MSG:Donation to Debian Edu
-X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER:16040884339
-X-BANK-IBAN-NUMBER:NO8516040884339
-X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
+PROFILE="Roaming-Workstation"
+DESKTOP="lxde"
</pre></p>
-<p>The X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER field was proposed in a stackoverflow
-answer regarding
-<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10045664/storing-bank-account-in-vcard-file">how
-to put bank account information into a vCard</a>. 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.</p>
+<p>The script could even become useful to set up Debian Edu servers in
+the cloud, by starting with a virtual Debian installation at some
+virtual hosting service and setting up all the services on first
+boot.</p>

+ <description><p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project</a> is making great progress and made its second Wheezy based
+release today. This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.0.0 alpha1 released
+2013-05-14</strong></p>
+
+<p>This is the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux 7.0.0 edu
+alpha1, based on <ahref="http://www.debian.org">Debian</a> with
+codename "Wheezy".</p>
+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
+on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
+configured school network. Immediatly 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.</p>
+
+<p>This is the first test release based on Wheezy (which currently is
+not released yet). Basically this is an updated and slightly improved
+version compared to the Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Install freemind (0.9.0) by default, and stop installing vym by
+ default.</li>
+ <li>Install chromium (26.0.1410.43) by default.</li>
+ <li>Install goplay (0.5-1.1) to make golearn available by default.</li>
+ <li>Updated support for Japanese input methods, now based on
+ ibus-anthy.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
+<ul>
-The complete vCard could look like this:
+ <li>Switched default file system from ext3 to ext4 for speed and
+ reliability improvements.</li>
+ <li>Got rid of unwanted winbind daemon and PAM setup activated because
+ of <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/706434">706434</a>.</li>
+ <li>Extended and improved the testsuite tests to detect more possible
+ problems.</li>
+ <li>Corrected proxy handling to not set http_proxy to a bogus
+ direct:// URL.</li>
+ <li>Corrected proxy setup for diskless workstations.</li>
+ <li>Corrected PXE setup to use our updated udebs during installation.</li>
+ <li>Made installation handling of low entropy level more robust.</li>
+ <li>Create larger partitions for Roaming workstations and Thin client
+ servers, to make room for all the software installed.</li>
+ <li>Fix bug in Roaming workstation PAM setup, making it impossible to
+ log in (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/706753">706753</a>).</li>
+</ul>

-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem. It
-involve home automation. A few years ago I bought a
-<a href="http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick">Tellstick</a> and RF
-switches at the local <a href="http://www.clasohlson.com/">Clas
-Ohlson</a> 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
-<a href="http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net">Tellstick
-Net</a> 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
-<a href="http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware">firmware
-with local access</A> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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
-"morning light" 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.</p>
-
-<p>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.</p>

+ <description><p>I fjor sommer ble jeg
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Gladoppslag_om_Skolelinux_i_avisen_Fremover.html">gledelig
+overrasket</a> over et oppslag i avisen Fremover om Narvik kommunes
+bruk av <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>. Oppslaget
+var basert på et notat som besvarte spørsmål fra ordfører Tor Nysæter
+og rådgiver for skolesektoren, Petter Falkbu, om bruken av Skolelinux
+i Narvikskolene og konstnaden ved å gå over til Windows. For litt
+over en uke siden siden fikk jeg endelig bedt kommunen om å få innsyn
+i dette notatet, og det ble oversendt på epost tirsdag. Jeg fikk
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-Narvik-kommune/2013-04-29-09:12-skolelinux-notat/PetterFalkbuogwindowsfornarvikskolen%20(L)351310.pdf">lagt
+ut notatet</a> samme dag, og fikk i dag sjekket postlista til Narvik,
+der jeg fant notatet som

+2013/1023</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Notatet forteller at Narvik ville måtte betalt minst 9 millioner
+for å gå over til Windows på skolene. I tillegg dokumenterer notatet
+at læreplanens krav oppfylles uten problemer ved bruk av Skolelinux.
+Jeg anbefaler alle å lese de 10 sidene med gode argumenter for å kutte
+unødige utgifter på IT i skoleverket. :)</p>

-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_backport_bitcoin_qt_version_0_7_2_2_to_Debian_Squeeze.html">last
-bitcoin related blog post</a> mentioned that the new
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin">bitcoin package</a> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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 (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/672524">BTS #672524</a>).
-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.</p>
-
-<p>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 (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/696715">BTS
-#696715</a>). So make sure you have enough disk space when you run
-it. :)</p>

+ <description><p>When I woke up this morning, I was very happy to see that the
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20130504">release announcement
+for Debian Wheezy</a> was waiting in my mail box. This is a great
+Debian release, and I expect to move my machines at home over to it fairly
+soon.</p>
+
+<p>The new debian release contain heaps of new stuff, and one program
+in particular make me very happy to see included. The
+<a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/">Scratch</a> program, made famous by
+the <a href="http://www.code.org/">Teach kids code</a> movement, is
+included for the first time. Alongside similar programs like
+<a href="http://edu.kde.org/kturtle/">kturtle</a> and
+<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Turtle_Art">turtleart</a>,
+it allow for visual programming where syntax errors can not happen,
+and a friendly programming environment for learning to control the
+computer. Scratch will also be included in the next release of Debian
+Edu.</a>
+
+<p>And now that Wheezy is wrapped up, we can wrap up the next Debian
+Edu/Skolelinux release too. The
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/04/msg00132.html">first
+alpha release</a> went out last week, and the next should soon

- <description><p>Yesterday, I
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/First_prototype_ready_making_hardware_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">asked
-for testers</a> for my prototype for making Debian better at handling
-pluggable hardware devices, which I
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">set
-out to create</a> earlier this month. Several valuable testers showed
-up, and caused me to really want to to open up the development to more
-people. But before I did this, I want to come up with a sensible name
-for this project. Today I finally decided on a new name, and I have
-renamed the project from hw-support-handler to this new name. In the
-process, I moved the source to git and made it available as a
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/isenkram.git">collab-maint</a>
-repository in Debian. The new name? It is <strong>Isenkram</strong>.
-To fetch and build the latest version of the source, use</p>
-
-<pre>
-git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/isenkram.git
-cd isenkram && git-buildpackage -us -uc
-</pre>
-
-<p>I have not yet adjusted all files to use the new name yet. If you
-want to hack on the source or improve the package, please go ahead.
-But please talk to me first on IRC or via email before you do major
-changes, to make sure we do not step on each others toes. :)</p>
-
-<p>If you wonder what 'isenkram' is, it is a Norwegian word for iron
-stuff, typically meaning tools, nails, screws, etc. Typical hardware
-stuff, in other words. I've been told it is the Norwegian variant of
-the German word eisenkram, for those that are familiar with that
-word.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-26</strong>: Added -us -us to build
-instructions, to avoid confusing people with an error from the signing
-process.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-27</strong>: Switch to HTTP URL for the git
-clone argument to avoid the need for authentication.</p>

+ <description><p>For noen uker siden, innen fristen 2013-04-15, leverte jeg og
+Morten Kjelkenes vårt bidrag til
+<a href="http://www.apps4norge.no/">DIFIs apps4norge-konkurranse</a>
+under lagnavnet <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">NUUG</a>s tannlegeteam.
+Vi leverte følgende i idé-kategorien:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p><strong>Tittel: Stikk innom tannlegen</strong><p>
+
+<p><a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-05-01-tannlegeportal.jpeg"><img width="70%" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-05-01-tannlegeportal.jpeg"></a></p>
+
+<p><strong>Beskrivelse:</strong><p>
+
+<p><em>Idéen</em>
+
+<p>Gjøre det enklere å finne en tannlege som er praktisk for deg, der
+pris og reisetid med kollektivt, til fots eller med bil er tatt med i
+beregningen, ved å oppgi hvor en bor og jobber, og få forslag til
+tannleger både i nærheten og på veien mellom disse stedene.</p>
+
+<p>Brukeren oppgir hjemmeadresse og jobbadresse, og kanskje også
+barnehage. Så kan en også oppgi egen timelønn (for å beregne taps
+arbeidsfortjeneste) og om en reiser med kollektivt, til fots eller
+kjører bil. Så trykker en søk, og får opp en todelt side med kart og
+tekstliste. I kartdelen vises aktuelle tannleger (for eksempel maks
+7), og i tekstdelen er de samme tannlegene listet opp, med pris og
+reisetid for kollektivtransport, og pris pluss reisekostnad hvis en
+reiser med bil. En kan endre sorteringsrekkefølge for listen ved å
+trykke på aktuell kolonne, og velge om en skal sortere på pris,
+reisetid eller totalkostnad. Kun tannleger som tar imot nye kunder tas
+i utganspunktet med i listen. Når brukeren trykker med musa en
+tannlegemarkør på kartet kommer det en popup med detaljer om
+tannlegen, den samme informasjonen som finnes i listen under kartet,
+og lenke til mer informasjon om tannlegen.</p>
+
+<p>For hvert enkelt tannlegekontor er det tilgjengelig en
+informasjonsside med adresse, hjemmesideurl, telefonnummer, lenke til
+side for å finne reisebeskrivelse, åpningstider, etc.</p>
+
+<p><em>Nytteverdi for brukeren</em></p>
<ul>
+<li>sparer tid på tannlegebesøk</li>
+<li>kan utnytte normal reisevei mellom hjem/jobb/barnehage</li>
+<li>kan finne aktuell tannlege basert på flere kriterier</li>
+<li>sile bort tannleger som ikke tar imot flere kunder</li>
+<li>får kart som viser tannleger i nærheten, på tvers av kommunegrenser</li>
+</ul>
-<li>Add desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ causing a program
-hw-support-handlerd to start when the user log in.</li>
+<p><em>Grad av innovasjon, nytenkning og kreativitet</em></p>
-<li>This program listen for kernel events about new hardware (directly
-from the kernel like udev does), not using HAL dbus events as I
-initially did.</li>
+<p>Enkel tjeneste som fokuserer på det vi selv mener er relevant ved valg
+av tannlege.</p>
-<li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware modalias in
-the APT database, a database
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=markup">available
-via HTTP</a> and a database available as part of the package.</li>
+<p>Tjenestekonseptet kan også brukes til andre næringer, f.eks. lege,
+butikk, leiebiler, hvis en har aktuell datakilde å koble med.</p>
-<li>If a package is mapped to the hardware in question, the package
-isn't installed yet and this is the first time the hardware was
-plugged in, show a desktop notification suggesting to install the
-package or packages.</li>
+<p>Skulle gjerne hatt med vurdering av tannlegene tilgjengelig, slik
+at en kunne finne "flinke" tannleger basert på et eller annet
+kriterium.</p>
-<li>If the user click on the 'install package now' button, ask
-aptdaemon via the PackageKit API to install the requrired package.</li>
+<p><em>Markedspotensiale - potensiale for å slå gjennom hos mange
+brukere</em></p>
-<li>aptdaemon ask for root password or sudo password, and install the
-package while showing progress information in a window.</li>
+<ul>
+<li>Alle som ønsker eller vurderer å skaffe seg ny tannlege, f.eks. nyinnflyttede og studenter</li>
+<li>Familier med en travel hverdag</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Felles er at den gjør tannlegen lettere tilgjengelig for de som vil spare tid eller penger.</p>
+
+<p><em>Samfunnsøkonomisk nytte - bidrar til å løse
+samfunnsutfordringer</em></p>
+
+<p>Kutter tid brukt på tannlegebesøk, og penger frigjøres som kan brukes på andre områder. Oppfordrer til bedre bruk av kollektivtransport ved å gi tips om tannleger i nærheten av allerede brukt reisevei mellom hjemme og jobb når en reiser kollektivt.</p>
+
+<p><em>X-faktor - “Det lille ekstra...”</em></p>
+
+<p>Denne tjenesten gir det lille ekstra ved at den ikke slår opp
+avstand til tannlege fra et enkelt punkt men avstand fra en reisevei,
+slik at en får flere tannleger å velge imellom og kanskje kan spare
+enda mer tid og penger enn en ville gjort ved å sjekke kun de nærmest
+hjemme eller jobb.</p>
+
+<p>Tjenesten gir informasjonen både som kart og som tekstlig oversikt, for å sikre at blinde og svaksynte kan få tilgang til informasjonen selv om de ikke får brukt kartvisningen.</p>

-<p>I still need to come up with a better name for the system. Here

-<p>The prototype still need to be improved with longer timeouts, but
-is already useful. The database of hardware to package mappings also
-need more work. It is currently compatible with the Ubuntu way of
-storing such information in the package control file, but could be
-changed to use other formats instead or in addition to the current
-method. I've dropped the use of discover for this mapping, as the
-modalias approach is more flexible and easier to use on Linux as long
-as the Linux kernel expose its modalias strings directly.</p>

- <description><p>This Christmas my trusty old laptop died. It died quietly and
-suddenly in bed. With a quiet whimper, it went completely quiet and
-black. The power button was no longer able to turn it on. It was a
-IBM Thinkpad X41, and the best laptop I ever had. Better than both
-Thinkpads X30, X31, X40, X60, X61 and X61S. Far better than the
-Compaq I had before that. Now I need to find a replacement. To keep
-going during Christmas, I moved the one year old SSD disk to my old
-X40 where it fitted (only one I had left that could use it), but it is
-not a durable solution.
-
-<p>My laptop needs are fairly modest. This is my wishlist from when I
-got a new one more than 10 years ago. It still holds true.:)</p>

+ <description><p>The Debian Edu / Skolelinux project is still going strong and made
+its first Wheezy based release today. This is the release
+announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu ~7.0.0 alpha0 released
+2013-04-26</strong></p>
+
+<p>This is the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux ~7.0.0
+edu alpha0, based on Debian with codename "Wheezy".</p>
+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
+Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
+out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
+network. Immediatly 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.</p>
+
+<p>This is the first test release based on Wheezy (which currently is
+not released yet). Basically this is an updated and slightly improved
+version compared to the Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
<ul>
+<li>Everything which is new in Debian Wheezy, eg:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Linux kernel 3.2.x</li>
+ <li>Desktop environments KDE "Plasma" 4.8.4, GNOME 3.4, and LXDE 4
+ (KDE is installed by default; to choose GNOME or LXDE: see
+ manual.)</li>
+ <li>Web browser Iceweasel 10 ESR</li>
+ <li>LibreOffice 3.5.4</li>
+ <li>LTSP 5.4.2</li>
+ <li>GOsa 2.7.4</li>
+ <li>CUPS print system 1.5.3</li>
+ <li>Educational toolbox GCompris 12.01</li>
+ <li>Music creator Rosegarden 12.04</li>
+ <li>Image editor Gimp 2.8.2</li>
+ <li>Virtual universe Celestia 1.6.1</li>
+ <li>Virtual stargazer Stellarium 0.11.3</li>
+ <li>Scratch visual programming environment 1.4.0.6</li>
+ <li>New version of debian-installer from Debian Wheezy, see
+ <a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/installmanual">installation
+ manual</a> for more details.</li>
+ <li>Debian Wheezy includes about 37000 packages available for
+ installation.</li>
+ <li>More information about Debian Wheezy 7.0 is provided in the
+ <a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/releasenotes">release notes</a> and the <a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/installmanual">installation manual</a>.</li>
+ </ul></li>
+</ul>
-<li>Lightweight (around 1 kg) and small volume (preferably smaller
- than A4).</li>
-<li>Robust, it will be in my backpack every day.</li>
-<li>Three button mouse and a mouse pin instead of touch pad.</li>
-<li>Long battery life time. Preferable a week.</li>
-<li>Internal WIFI network card.</li>
-<li>Internal Twisted Pair network card.</li>
-<li>Some USB slots (2-3 is plenty)</li>
-<li>Good keyboard - similar to the Thinkpad.</li>
-<li>Video resolution at least 1024x768, with size around 12" (A4 paper
-size).</li>
-<li>Hardware supported by Debian Stable, ie the default kernel and
- X.org packages.</li>
-<li>Quiet, preferably fan free (or at least not using the fan most of
- the time).
+<p><strong>Documentation</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>The (<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy">English</a>) Debian Edu Wheezy Manual is fully translated to
+ German, French, Italian and Danish. Partly translated versions exist
+ for Norwegian Bokmal and Spanish.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><Strong>LDAP related changes</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>Slight changes to some objects and acls to have more types to
+ choose from when adding systems in GOsa. Now systems can be of type
+ server, workstation, printer, terminal or netdevice.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>LTSP clients start as diskless workstation / thin client can be
+ configured via command line argument -- or individually adding an
+ entry in lts.conf or LDAP.<li>
+<li>GOsa gui: Now some options that seemed to be available, but are non
+ functional, are greyed out (or are not clickable). Some tabs are
+ completely hidden to the end user, others even to the GOsa admin.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Regressions</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>No mass import of user account data in GOsa (ldif or csv) available
+ yet.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>No updated artwork</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>Updated artwork which is visible during installation, in the login
+ screen and as desktop wallpaper is still missing or the same as we
+ had for our Squeeze based release.</li>
</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Where to get it</strong></p>
-<p>You will notice that there are no RAM and CPU requirements in the
-list. The reason is simply that the specifications on laptops the
-last 10-15 years have been sufficient for my needs, and I have to look
-at other features to choose my laptop. But are there still made as
-robust laptops as my X41? The Thinkpad X60/X61 proved to be less
-robust, and Thinkpads seem to be heading in the wrong direction since
-Lenovo took over. But I've been told that X220 and X1 Carbon might
-still be useful.</p>
-
-<p>Perhaps I should rethink my needs, and look for a pad with an
-external keyboard? I'll have to check the
-<a href="http://www.linux-laptop.net/">Linux Laptops site</a> for
-well-supported laptops, or perhaps just buy one preinstalled from one
-of the vendors listed on the <a href="http://linuxpreloaded.com/">Linux
-Pre-loaded site</a>.</p>

- <title>How to find a browser plugin supporting a given MIME type</title>

- <pubDate>Fri, 18 Jan 2013 10:40:00 +0100</pubDate>
- <description><p>Some times I try to figure out which Iceweasel browser plugin to
-install to get support for a given MIME type. Thanks to
-<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Plugins">specifications
-done by Ubuntu</a> and Mozilla, it is possible to do this in Debian.
-Unfortunately, not very many packages provide the needed meta
-information, Anyway, here is a small script to look up all browser
-plugin packages announcing ther MIME support using this specification:</p>
-
-<pre>
-#!/usr/bin/python
-import sys
-import apt
-def pkgs_handling_mimetype(mimetype):
- cache = apt.Cache()
- cache.open(None)
- thepkgs = []
- for pkg in cache:
- version = pkg.candidate
- if version is None:
- version = pkg.installed
- if version is None:
- continue
- record = version.record
- if not record.has_key('Npp-MimeType'):
- continue
- mime_types = record['Npp-MimeType'].split(',')
- for t in mime_types:
- t = t.rstrip().strip()
- if t == mimetype:
- thepkgs.append(pkg.name)
- return thepkgs
-mimetype = "audio/ogg"
-if 1 < len(sys.argv):
- mimetype = sys.argv[1]
-print "Browser plugin packages supporting %s:" % mimetype
-for pkg in pkgs_handling_mimetype(mimetype):
- print " %s" %pkg
-</pre>
-
-<p>It can be used like this to look up a given MIME type:</p>
-
-<pre>
-% ./apt-find-browserplug-for-mimetype
-Browser plugin packages supporting audio/ogg:
- gecko-mediaplayer
-% ./apt-find-browserplug-for-mimetype application/x-shockwave-flash
-Browser plugin packages supporting application/x-shockwave-flash:
- browser-plugin-gnash
-%
-</pre>
-
-<p>In Ubuntu this mechanism is combined with support in the browser
-itself to query for plugins and propose to install the needed
-packages. It would be great if Debian supported such feature too. Is
-anyone working on adding it?</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-18 14:20</strong>: The Debian BTS
-request for icweasel support for this feature is
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/484010">#484010</a> from 2008 (and
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/698426">#698426</a> from today). Lack
-of manpower and wish for a different design is the reason thus feature
-is not yet in iceweasel from Debian.</p>

+ <description><p><a href="http://bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a> er mye i mediene for
+tiden. Jeg følger med via Mylder for å finne
+<a href="http://mylder.no/?drill=bitcoin">artikler som omtaler
+temaet</a>, og takket være dette oppdaget jeg at stortingsrepresentant
+Ketil Solvik-Olsen fra FrP nylig har spurt finansminister Sigbjørn
+Johnsen om hans syn på Bitcoin, og
+<a href="http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Sporsmal/Skriftlige-sporsmal-og-svar/Skriftlig-sporsmal/?qid=57052">fått
+svar for noen dager siden</a>. Jeg bet meg spesielt merke til
+følgende formulering fra finansministeren:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+«Det er også utfordringer ved at handel med Bitcoins er uregulert og
+at transaksjonene er anonyme.»
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>At Bitcoin er anonymt er en myte som spres av både journalister og
+andre, så det er ikke veldig overraskende at også finansministeren har
+gått på limpinnen. Det er dog litt rart, da jeg håper at
+finansdepartementet ikke baserer seg på rykter og myter når de
+besvarer Stortinget. Men du trenger ikke bare tro på meg som kilde
+til påstanden om at Bitcoin ikke er anonymt. Sondre Rønjom har
+<a href="http://blogg.nsm.stat.no/archives/3241">via Sikkerhetsbloggen
+hos Nasjonal Sikkerhetsmyndighet</a> uttalt følgende:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+«At [bitcoin] i utgangspunktet
+<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524"><em>ikke</em> er anonymt</a>,
+kommer kanskje som en overraskelse på mange.»
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Enhver bevegelse av Bitcoin er offentlig tilgjengelig for alle på
+Internet, og en må legge svært mye innsats inn hvis en skal hindre at
+nettverksanalyse av transaksjonsloggene kan brukes til å identifisere
+brukerne. F.eks. kan en enkelt se hva jeg har mottatt til min
+offentliggjorte mottaksadresse ved å besøke blockexplorer og slå opp
+adressen
+<a href="http://blockexplorer.com/address/15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a>.
+Det virker dermed på meg ganske klart at å påstå at
+Bitcoin-transaksjoner er anonyme strengt tatt er å føre Stortinget bak
+lyset.</p>
+
+<p>Finansministeren er ikke den eneste som har latt seg forlede av
+medieomtalen. I spørsmålet fra Hr. Solvik-Olsen skriver han at «For
+noen dager siden kom den første bitcoin-minibanken på Kypros», hvilket
+så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut ikke er riktig. Det er annonsert
+planer om en slik minibank (fra
+<a href="http://www.bitcoinatm.com/">BitcoinATM</a>), men jeg finner
+intet tegn til at en slik minibank er utplassert noe sted.</p>
+
+<p>Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
+mine aktiviteter, så setter jeg pris på Bitcoin-donasjoner til min
+adresse
