+<li>We should find way for Nagios to check that the DHCP service
+actually is working (as in handling out IP addresses). None of the
+Nagios checks I have found so far have been working for me.</li>
+
+<li>We should switch from libpam-nss-ldapd to sssd for all profiles
+using LDAP, and not only on for roaming workstations, to have less
+packages to configure and consistent setup across all profiles.</li>
+
+<li>We should configure Kerberos to update LDAP and Samba password
+when changing password using the Kerberos protocol. The hook was
+requested in <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/588968">BTS report
+#588968</a> and is now available in Wheezy. We might need to write a
+MIT Kerberos plugin in C to get this.</li>
+
+<li>We should clean up the set of applications installed by default.
+<ul>
+
+<li>reduce the number of chemistry visualisers</li>
+<li>consider dropping xpaint</li>
+<li>and probably more?</li>
+</ul></li>
+
+<li>Some hardware need external firmware to work properly. This is
+mostly the case for WiFi network cards, but there are some other
+examples too. For popular laptops to work out of the box, such
+firmware need to be installed from non-free, and we should provide
+some GUI to do this. Ubuntu already have this implemented, and we
+could consider using their packages. At the moment we have some
+command line script to do this (one for the running system, another
+for the LTSP chroot).</li>
+
+
+<li>In Squeeze, we provide KDE, Gnome and LXDE as desktop options. We
+should extend the list to Xfce and Sugar, and preferably find a way to
+install several and allow the admin or the user to select which one to
+use.</li>
+
+<li>The golearn tool from the goplay package make it easy to check out
+interesting educational packages. We should work on the package
+tagging in Debian to ensure it represent all the useful educational
+packages, and extend the tool to allow it to use packagekit to install
+new applications with a simple mouse click.</li>
+
+<li>The Squeeze version got half a exam solution already in place,
+with the introduction of iptable based network blocking, but for it to
+be a complete exam solution the Squid proxy need to enable
+filtering/blocking as well when the exam mode is enabled. We should
+implement a way to easily enable this for the schools that want it,
+instead of the "it is documented" method of today.</li>
+
+<li>A feature used in several schools is the ability for a teacher to
+"take over" the desktop of individual or all computers in the room.
+There are at least three implementations,
+<a href="italc.sourceforge.net/">italc</a>,
+<a href="http://www.itais.net/help/en/">controlaula</a> og
+<a href="http://www.epoptes.org/">epoptes</a> and we should pick one of
+them and make it trivial to set it up in a school. The challenges is
+how to distribute crypto keys and how to group computers in one room
+and how to set up which machine/user can control the machines in a
+given room.</li>
+
+<li>Tablets and surf boards are getting more and more popular, and we
+should look into providing a good solution for integrating these into
+the Debian Edu network. Not quite sure how. Perhaps we should
+provide a installation profile with better touch screen support for
+them, or add some sync services to allow them to exchange
+configuration and data with the central server. This should be
+investigated.</li>
+
+</ul></p>
+
+<p>I guess we will discover more as we continue to work on the Wheezy
+version.</p>

+ <p>De siste månedene har jeg sammen med andre i NUUG jobbet med å
+gjøre det enklere å få innsyn i offentlige dokumenter, og dette
+inkluderer å gjøre postjournaler enklere tilgjengelig for maskinell
+analyse og søk. I den forbindelse tok jeg i dag å tittet litt på
+<a href="http://www.oep.no/">Offentlig Elektronisk Postjournal
+(OEP)</a>, FAD/DIFIs fellesløsning for departementer og statlige
+etater.</p>

+<p>Det er også interessant å se hvor ofte ulike etater sender inn sine
+journaloppføringer til OEP. OEP inneholder en liste med sist
+innrapporteringsdato for alle som sender til OEP, og ved å se når og
+hvor ofte det blir sendt inn fra etatene kan
