-               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
-users are spread all across the globe.  The second inteview after
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/03/msg00001.html&quot;&gt;the
-Squeeze release&lt;/a&gt; was publised is with John Ingleby, a teacher and
-long time Linux user in United Kingdom.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I teach ICT part time at the Rudolf Steiner School in Kings
-Langley, near London, UK. Previously I worked as a technical
-author/trainer while my children attended the school, and I also
-contributed to the Schoolforge UK community with the aim of
-encouraging UK schools to adopt free/open source software. Five or six
-years ago we had about 50 schools interested in some way, but we
-weren&#39;t able to convert many of them into sustainable
-installations.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
-project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Skolelinux had two representatives at an early Edubuntu meeting in
-London which I attended. However at that time our school network had
-just been installed using CentOS, LTSP 4 and GNOME. When LTSP 5 came
-along we switched to Edubuntu thin client servers so now we have a
-mixed environment which includes Windows PCs and student laptops, as
-well as their MacBooks and iPads. However, the proprietary systems
-have always been rather problematic, and we never built a GUI for the
-LDAP server, so when I discovered Skolelinux is configured for all
-these things we decided to try it.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;By far the biggest advantage is the Debian Edu community. Apart
-from that I have always believed in the same &quot;sustainable computing&quot;
-goals that Skolelinux is built on: installing Linux on computers which
-would otherwise be thrown away, to provide a reliable, secure and
-low-cost IT environment for schools. From my own experience I know
-that a part-time person can teach and manage a network of about 25
-Linux computers, but it would take much more of my time if we had
-proprietary software everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;As a newcomer I&#39;m just finding out who&#39;s who in the community and
-how you&#39;re organised, and what your procedures are for dealing with
-various things such as editing manual pages and so-on. The only
-English language mailing list seems to be for developers as well as
-users, so my inbox needs heavy pruning each day!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Besides the software already mentioned at school we use Samba,
-OpenLDAP, CUPS, Nagios and Dansguardian for the network, and on the
-desktops we have LibreOffice, Firefox, GIMP and Inkscape. At home I
-use Ubuntu and an Android 4 eePad Transformer (but I&#39;m not sure if
-that counts...)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;That&#39;s a tough question! For very many years UK schools installed
-and taught only proprietary software, so that at the highest levels
-the notion of &quot;computer&quot; means simply &quot;proprietary office
-applications&quot;.  However, schools today are experiencing budget
-constraints, and many are having to think hard about upgrading Windows
-XP.  At the same time, we have students showing teachers how to use
-iPads, MacBooks and Android, so the choice of operating system is no
-longer quite so automatic. What is more, our government at last
-realised that we need people with programming skills, so they&#39;re
-putting coding back in the curriculum! And it&#39;s encouraging that the
-first 10,000 Raspberry Pi units sold out in 2 hours.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I don&#39;t really know what strategy is going to get UK schools to use
-free software, but building an active community of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu users in this country has to be part of it.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Trengs det avtale med MPEG-LA for å ha lovlig rett til å
+distribuere og kringkaste video i MPEG4 eller med videokodingen H.264?
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://webmink.com/essays/h-264/&quot;&gt;H.264 og MPEG4 er jo ikke en
+fri og åpen standard&lt;/a&gt; i henhold til
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fri_og__pen_standard__slik_Digistan_ser_det.html&quot;&gt;definisjonen
+til Digistan&lt;/a&gt;, så i enkelte land er det ingen tvil om at du må ha
+en slik avtale, men jeg må innrømme at jeg ikke vet om det også
+gjelder Norge.  Det ser uansett ut til å være en juridisk interessant
+problemstilling.  Men jeg tenkte her om dagen som så, at hvis det er
+nødvendig, så har store aktører som
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nrk.no/&quot;&gt;NRK&lt;/a&gt; og
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.regjeringen.no/&quot;&gt;regjeringen&lt;/a&gt; skaffet seg en
+slik avtale.  Jeg har derfor sendt forespørsel til begge (for
+regjeringen sin del er det Departementenes Servicesenter som gjør
+jobben), og bedt om kopi av eventuelle avtaler de har om bruk av MPEG
+og/eller H.264 med MPEG-LA eller andre aktører som opererer på vegne
+av MPEG-LA.  Her er kopi av eposten jeg har sendt til
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dss.dep.no/&quot;&gt;Departementenes Servicesenter&lt;/a&gt;.
+Forespørselen til NRK er veldig lik.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;br&gt;From: Petter Reinholdtsen
+&lt;br&gt;To: postmottak@dss.dep.no
+&lt;br&gt;Subject: Innsynsbegjæring om MPEG/H.264-relaterte avtaler
+ 
+&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Jeg ber herved om innsyn og kopi av dokumenter i DSS relatert
+til avtaler rundt bruk av videoformatene MPEG og H.264.  Jeg er
+spesielt interessert i å vite om DSS har lisensavtale med MPEG-LA
+eller noen som representerer MPEG-LA i Norge.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;MPEG og H.264 er videoformater som brukes både til kringkasting
+(f.eks. i bakkenett og kabel-TV) og videopublisering på web, deriblant
+via Adobe Flash.  MPEG-LA, &amp;lt;URL:
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpeg-la.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.mpeg-la.com/&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt;, er
+en organisasjon som har fått oppgaven, av de kjente rettighetshavere
+av immaterielle rettigheter knyttet til MPEG og H.264, å selge
+bruksrett for MPEG og H.264.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Via regjeringen.no kringkastes med MPEG og H.264-baserte
+videoformater, og dette ser ut til å være organisert av DSS.  Jeg
+antar dermed at DSS har avtale med en eller annen aktør om dette.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;F.eks. har Adobe Premiere Pro har følgende klausul i følge &amp;lt;URL:
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20000101-264.html&quot;&gt;http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20000101-264.html&lt;/a&gt;
+&amp;gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;6.17. AVC DISTRIBUTION. The following notice applies to software
+  containing AVC import and export functionality: 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. SEE
+  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com&quot;&gt;http://www.mpegla.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Her er det kun &quot;non-commercial&quot; og &quot;personal and non-commercial&quot;
+aktivitet som er tillatt uten ekstra avtale med MPEG-LA.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Et annet tilsvarende eksempel er Apple Final Cut Pro, som har
+følgende klausul i følge &amp;lt;URL:
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/finalcutstudio2.pdf&quot;&gt;http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/finalcutstudio2.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
+&amp;gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+  &lt;p&gt;15. Merknad om H.264/AVC. Hvis Apple-programvaren inneholder
+  funksjonalitet for AVC-koding og/eller AVC-dekoding, krever
+  kommersiell bruk ekstra lisensiering og følgende gjelder:
+  AVC-FUNKSJONALITETEN I DETTE PRODUKTET KAN KUN ANVENDES AV
+  FORBRUKERE OG KUN FOR PERSONLIG OG IKKE- KOMMERSIELL BRUK TIL (i)
+  KODING AV VIDEO I OVERENSSTEMMELSE MED AVC-STANDARDEN (&quot;AVC-VIDEO&quot;)
+  OG/ELLER (ii) DEKODING AV AVC-VIDEO SOM ER KODET AV EN FORBRUKER TIL
+  PERSONLIG OG IKKE-KOMMERSIELL BRUK OG/ELLER DEKODING AV AVC-VIDEO
+  FRA EN VIDEOLEVERANDØR SOM HAR LISENS TIL Å TILBY
+  AVC-VIDEO. INFORMASJON OM ANNEN BRUK OG LISENSIERING KAN INNHENTES
+  FRA MPEG LA L.L.C. SE HTTP://WWW.MPEGLA.COM.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+  
+&lt;p&gt;Tilsvarende gjelder for andre programvarepakker, kamera, etc som
+bruker MPEG og H.264, at en må ha en avtale med MPEG-LA for å ha lov
+til å bruke programmet/utstyret hvis en skal lage noe annet enn
+private filmer og i ikke-kommersiell virksomhet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg er altså interessert i kopi av avtaler DSS har som gjør at en
+ikke er begrenset av de generelle bruksvilkårene som gjelder for
+utstyr som bruker MPEG og/eller H.264.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Nå venter jeg spent på svaret.  Jeg planlegger å blogge om svaret
+her.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Writing_and_translating_documentation_in_Debian_Edu.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Writing_and_translating_documentation_in_Debian_Edu.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:55:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Documentation in Debian Edu is provided in several languages, and
-it is important to make it both easy to contribute and to keep the
-translated versions in sync.  To do this we have come up with what we
-believe is a very efficient work flow.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ol&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;The documentation is written in a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://moinmo.in&quot;&gt;moinmoin wiki&lt;/a&gt; (see for example
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze&quot;&gt;the
-Squeeze release manual&lt;/a&gt;) with support for exporting the content as
-docbook XML.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;This docbook document is given to po4a to extract a gettext style
-.pot file with the content, which in turn is used to create .po files
-with the translated text.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;The .po files are given to translators, and they can always tell
-which part of the original wiki document is new or changed.  They can
-use their normal translation tools like lokalize or poedit to write
-the translation.  There is even a system in place to handle translated
-images.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;The translated .po files are combined with the original docbook
-XML document using po4a to create a translated docbook document.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;The final step is to use all the generated docbook files and
-create PDF and HTML version of the original and translated documents.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ol&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This setup work very well, but have a few issues.  The biggest
-issue is that &lt;a href=&quot;http://moinmo.in/DocBook&quot;&gt;the docbook support
-we use in moinmoin&lt;/a&gt; is not actively maintained.  The docbook
-support is also buggy, and our build system contain workarounds to
-make sure the generated docbook is usable despite these bugs.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to have a look at our setup, it is all there in the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/debian-edu-doc&quot;&gt;debian-edu-doc
-package&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2012 10:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Aftenposten melder i dag at selgerne av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.erlikoslo.no/&quot;&gt;gatemagasinet =Oslo&lt;/a&gt; er
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/Oslo-selgerne-irritert-pa-nytt-gatemagasin-6850970.html&quot;&gt;irritert
+på at det er kommet en konkurrent på banen&lt;/a&gt; fra organisasjonen
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://oslo.folkerfolk.no/&quot;&gt;Folk er Folk&lt;/a&gt;,
+som støtter “rumenerne”, de mest uglesette av tiggerne i Norge.  Min
+første tanke da jeg leste nyheten er at slik må =Oslo-selgerne tåle
+når de nekter &quot;rumenerne&quot; og andre utenlandske tiggere å selge
+gatemagasinet sitt.  Det ble rapportert for noen år siden at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/Ikke-rom-i-herberget-6677803.html&quot;&gt;utenlandske
+tiggere ikke var velkomne som selgere&lt;/a&gt;, og å opprette en konkurrent
+virker da for meg som et rasjonelt alternativ.  Og at &quot;rumerene&quot;
+utelukkes gjelder visst ikke bare i Oslo.  I Adresseavisen fant jeg en
+artikkel om at selgerne av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gatemagasinetsorgenfri.no/&quot;&gt;gateavisen
+Sorgenfri&lt;/a&gt; i Trondheim også
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adressa.no/nyheter/trondheim/article1122005.ece?index=20&quot;&gt;utelukker
+utenlandske selgere&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Men situasjonen er visst ikke så rett frem som opprinnelige
+artikler kunne tyde på.  Mens jeg søkte opp gamle artikler og
+referanser om temaet, fant jeg et
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2008/07/29/542041.html&quot;&gt;leserbrev
+fra en av stifterne av =Oslo&lt;/a&gt;, som protesterte på
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/2008/07/23/541530.html&quot;&gt;påstander
+fra likestillingsombudet om diskriminering&lt;/a&gt; og forteller at =Oslo
+krever at de som selger magasinet skal kunne kommunisere med kundene
+for å kunne representere magasinet utad, og at &quot;rumererne&quot; ikke
+ekskluderes for å være utlendinger men pga. at de ikke kan snakke
+norsk.  Det er jo ikke urimelig å kreve at en selger skal kunne
+kommunisere med kundene, men som kjøper har jeg ikke snakket så mye
+med =Oslo-selgerne at det ville vært et problem for meg om selgeren
+ikke kunne snakke norsk.  Jeg er dermed i tvil om hvorvidt
+argumentasjonen holder når effekten er at de mest uglesette tiggerne i
+Norge ekskluderes.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Uansett tror jeg ikke markedet for gatemagasiner i Oslo er mettet.
+Personlig kunne jeg godt tenkte meg å kjøpe flere, men gidder ikke
+kjøpe den samme utgaven av =Oslo flere ganger.  En konkurrent som Folk
+er Folk kan dermed ende opp med å gjøre markedet større i stedet for å
+spise av markedsandelene til =Oslo.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I dag presenterte jeg ny versjon av Skolelinux for NUUGs medlemmer.
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hungry.com/~pere/mypapers/20120313-skolelinux-squeeze.html&quot;&gt;Lysark&lt;/a&gt;

-kommer så snart videogruppa til NUUG får publisert den.  Jeg kom på
-endel punkter om nye ting i Squeeze-utgaven under veis som jeg burde
-hatt med, og har sikkert skrevet noe tull på lysarkene som jeg ennå
-ikke har oppdaget.  Denne presentasjonen ble smurt ihop på veldig kort
-tid, og jeg rakk ikke finpusse den.  Håper den kan være lærerik
-likevel.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/SQL_database_med_anbud_publisert_p__Doffin.html</link>

+                <pubDate>Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.doffin.no/&quot;&gt;Doffin&lt;/a&gt; er det offentlige Norges
+portal for annonsering av anbudsutlysninger.  Nettstedet er mye brukt,
+men rådataene er ikke enkelt tilgjengelig for almenheten.  For å bøte
+på det har jeg som et &lt;a href=&quot;htt://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG-prosjekt&lt;/a&gt;
+laget en &lt;a href=&quot;http://scraperwiki.com/&quot;&gt;Scraperwiki&lt;/a&gt;-skraper som
+lager en
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/norwegian-doffin/&quot;&gt;SQL-database
+med nøkkelinformasjonen fra Doffin&lt;/a&gt;, slik at det er mulig å søke og
+analysere Doffin-oppføringene.  Det publiseres mellom 900-1500 anbud
+hver måned via Doffin.  Jeg har ingen konkrete planer for analyse, men
+håper enklere tilgjengelighet gjør at flere griper sjansen.  På sikt
+håper jeg å bruke denne databasen som grunnlag for å lage en database
+over anbudsdokumenter, som i dag ikke er tilgjengelig fra doffin, men
+må bestilles fra hver enkelt utlyser.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg var litt usikker på om det var rettighetsproblemer knyttet til
+skraping av informasjon fra Doffin, men ser i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.doffin.no/sitehelp/help_terms.aspx&quot;&gt;vilkårene til
+Doffin&lt;/a&gt; følgende:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Opphavsrett mv&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Ved innleggig av kunngjøringer på Doffin aksepterer Oppdragsgiver
+at opphavsrett og andre rettigheter til materialet overføres til
+Fornyings- og administrasjonsdepartementet, eller den departementet
+utnevner.  Oppdragsgiver har imidlertid bruksrett til materialet, og
+kan benytte det til de formål de måtte ønske.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Hvis informasjonen er vernet av opphavsrettsloven (hvilket jeg
+tviler på, gitt lovens begrensninger om informasjon fra det
+offentlige), så er det FAD som har de immaterielle rettighetene.  FAD
+er en del av staten, som opererer på vegne av folket, og enhver borger
+skulle dermed ha rett til å videreformidle informasjonen.  Ingen av
+offentlighetslovens unntak kommer til anvendelse, i og med at
+informasjonen allerede er publisert.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Første ut i serien med intervjuer av folk i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;-miljøet etter at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/03/msg00001.html&quot;&gt;ny
-versjon av Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; ble lansert i helga, er nylig valgte
-styremedlem i foreningen
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no/&quot;&gt;Fri programvare i
-Skolen&lt;/a&gt; (FRiSK) som organiserer
-Skolelinux-utviklingen og daglig leder i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slxdrift.no/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux Drift AS&lt;/a&gt;, selskapet
-prosjektet opprettet som et tilbud til skoler som ønsket en
-kommersiell samarbeidsparter.  Det bør nevnes at jeg er styremedlem i
-Skolelinux Drift AS og styreleder i selskapets hovedeier stiftelsen
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/&quot;&gt;SLX Debian Labs&lt;/a&gt;
-som beskytter verdiene til Skolelinux-prosjektet, og kjenner Kåre den
-veien.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg har siden januar 2010 vært daglig leder i Skolelinux Drift AS,
-som leverer support, installasjon, tilpasning, drift, og opplæring på
-Debian Edu / Skolelinux. Fra 2012 er jeg valgt inn som styremedlem i
-FRiSK.  Min forrige jobb var som KAM i Redpill Linpro (som er en av
-eierne i Skolelinux Drift).  Før det var jeg daglig leder i et eget 7
-manns konsulent selskap som også startet med fri programvare mot
-slutten.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg hørte om det først når jeg jobbet i Redpill Linpro.  Men jeg
-har også en datter som går på en friskole, som også bruker Skolelinux.
-Som kjent har ikke friskoler de samme økonomiske rammebetingelsene som
-offentlige skoler, så for dem var det det absolutt beste alternativet.
-De anser også Skolelinux som et stabilt system, som bare går og går (i
-motsetning til det lille Windows-baserte nettverket de har på
-admin-siden).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Sentralisert drift av tynne og diskløse arbeidsstasjoner. Således
-lydløse og raskere arbeidsstasjoner som er bedre i klasserommet.
-Lengre levetid på PC&#39;er.  Store besparelser på maskinvare og drift. Og
-så klart fjerning av alle lisenskostnader. Personlig synes jeg også at
-mange av programmene er bedre enn alternativene. Men dette er ofte en
-smakssak og avhengig om man må ha det man er vant til fra før.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For lite kjentskap til løsningen.  Noen ganger for dårlig
-kompatibilitet med arbeidsstasjoners/bærbare maskiner sine
-nettverksdrivere eller skjermkort. Men dette løser vi i skolene ved
-standardisering. Ellers er det få, om nesten ingen, av de kjente
-maskinvare / infrastruktur leverandørene til fylkes- / kommuner som
-tilbyr denne plattformen.  Skal dette endre seg så må kommunene selv
-sette slike krav til leverandørene.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Har brukt OpenOffice.org siden starten (2001 ?), Kun Linux på
-desktop siden 2005. Bruker i dag Kubuntu, Libreoffice og ymse annet
-programvare til ulik kontorbruk som er lett å installere / teste via
-alle programarkivene som finnes.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
-skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Fortsette å presentere flere av de gode eksemplene hvor Debian Edu
-/ Skolelinux brukes i kommuner og enkeltskoler.  Vi må få bedre frem
-at det er mulig tilknytte både Windows og Mac klienter på denne
-plattformen (selv om det vil øke driftskostnadene).  Dette gjøres
-mange steder.  Spesielt er det mange lærere som ønsker å bruke
-Windows/Mac-bærbare, gjerne som sin private PC også. Det er også mulig
-for kommunen å integrere med Active Directory i stedet for OpenLDAP
-som kommer med ut av boksen (selv om også dette øker kostnadene).
-Dette vil muligens bidra til å fjerne noe motstand hos noen
-potensielle brukere / driftpersonell for å ta i bruk noe
-nytt. Fremveksten av mobile brukere og nettbrett går i vår favør.
-Brukerne blir kjent og vant til flere nye operativsystemer /
-brukergrensesnitt. Så utviklerfellesskapet bør jobbe videre med å
-integrere flere nye klienttyper, som ultra lav-kostklienter og
-nettbrett (blant annet fri programvare-alternativet
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://makeplaylive.com/&quot;&gt;Spark&lt;/a&gt; med
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.merproject.org/&quot;&gt;Mer OS&lt;/a&gt; og
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://plasma-active.org/&quot;&gt;KDE Active Plasma&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu___some_ideas_for_the_future_versions.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;During my work on
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120311.nb.html&quot;&gt;Debian Edu
+based on Squeeze&lt;/a&gt;, I came across some issues that should be
+addressed in the Wheezy release.  I finally found time to wrap up my
+notes and provide quick summary of what I found, with a bit
+explanation.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;We need to rewrite our package installation framework, as tasksel
+changed from using tasksel tasks to using meta packages (aka packages
+with dependencies like our education-* packages), and our installation
+system depend on tasksel tasks in
+/usr/share/tasksel/debian-edu-tasks.desc for package
+installation.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Enable Kerberos login for more services.  Now with the Kerberos
+foundation in place, we should use it to get single sign on with more
+services, and avoiding unneeded password / login questions.  We should
+at least try to enable it for these services:
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;CUPS for admins to add/configure printers and users when using
+    quotas.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Nagios for admins checking the system status.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;GOsa for admins updating LDAP and users changing their passwords.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;LDAP for admins updating LDAP.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Squid for users when exam mode / filtering is active.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;ssh for admins and users to save a password prompt.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;When we move GOsa to use Kerberos instead of LDAP bind to
+authenticate users, we should try to block or at least limit access to
+use LDAP bind for authentication, to ensure Kerberos is used when it
+is intended, and nothing fall back to using the less safe LDAP bind&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Merge debian-edu-config and debian-edu-install.  The split made
+sense when d-e-install did a lot more, but these days it is just an
+inconvenience when we update the debconf preseeding values.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Fix partman-auto to allow us to abort the installation before
+touching the disk if the disk is too small.  This is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/653305&quot;&gt;BTS report #653305&lt;/a&gt; and the
+d-i developers are fine with the patch and someone just need to apply
+it and upload.  After this is done we need to adjust
+debian-edu-install to use this new hook.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Adjust to new LTSP framework (boot time config instead of install
+time config).  LTSP changed its design, and our hooks to install
+packages and update the configuration is most likely not going to work
+in Wheezy.
+
+&lt;li&gt;Consider switching to NBD instead of NFS for LTSP root, to allow
+the Kernel to cache files in its normal file cache, possibly speeding
+up KDE login on slow networks.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Make it possible to create expired user passwords that need to
+change on first login.  This is useful when handing out password on
+paper, to make sure only the user know the password.  This require
+fixes to the PAM handling of kdm and gdm.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Make GUI for adding new machines automatically from sitesummary.
+The current command line script is not very friendly to people most
+familiar with GUIs.  This should probably be integrated into GOsa to
+have it available where the admin will be looking for it..&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;We should configure Kerberos to update LDAP and Samba password
+when changing password using the Kerberos protocol.  The hook was
+requested in &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/588968&quot;&gt;BTS report
+#588968&lt;/a&gt; and is now available in Wheezy.  We might need to write a
+MIT Kerberos plugin in C to get this.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;We should clean up the set of applications installed by default.
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;reduce the number of chemistry visualisers&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;consider dropping xpaint&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;and probably more?&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;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).&lt;/li&gt;
+
+
+&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;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 &quot;it is documented&quot; method of today.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;A feature used in several schools is the ability for a teacher to
+&quot;take over&quot; the desktop of individual or all computers in the room.
+There are at least three implementations,
+&lt;a href=&quot;italc.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;italc&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.itais.net/help/en/&quot;&gt;controlaula&lt;/a&gt; og
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epoptes.org/&quot;&gt;epoptes&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I guess we will discover more as we continue to work on the Wheezy
+version.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;This weekend we finally published the first stable release of
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux / Debian Edu&lt;/a&gt; based
-on Debian/Squeeze.  The full announcement is
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/03/msg00001.html&quot;&gt;available&lt;/a&gt;
-from the project announcement list.  Now is a good time to test if it
-you have not done so already.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I plan to present the new version at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20120313-skolelinux/&quot;&gt;a NUUG
-meeting&lt;/a&gt; on tuesday.  I look forward to seeing you there if you are
-in Oslo, Norway.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;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
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oep.no/&quot;&gt;Offentlig Elektronisk Postjournal
+(OEP)&lt;/a&gt;, FAD/DIFIs fellesløsning for departementer og statlige
+etater.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Her er antall oppføringer pr. måned det siste året,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/sqlite?format=htmltable&amp;name=postliste-oep&amp;query=select%20strftime(%22%25Y-%25m%22%2C%20%60recordpublishdate%60)%20as%20oeppubmonth%2C%20count(*)%20from%20%60swdata%60%20group%20by%20oeppubmonth%20order%20by%20oeppubmonth&quot;&gt;summert
+opp&lt;/a&gt; ved hjelp av
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/postliste-oep/&quot;&gt;en
+Scraperwiki-database&lt;/a&gt;.  Merk at denne Scraperwikien har
+ytelsesproblemer pga. mengden data. &lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Måned&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Antall&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2011-07&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;164355&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2011-10&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;170665&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2011-11&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;198409&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2011-12&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;175908&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2012-01&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;206875&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2012-03&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;204225&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2012-04&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;207931&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

+&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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

+&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Barne-, ungdoms- og familiedirektoratet&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;10.2509182099&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Kunst i offentlige rom&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;10.2509182099&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;
+
+&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;En kan beregne lignende frekvenser ved å sammenligne
+journalføringsdato med publiseringsdato for hver enkelt oppføring i
+OEP, men den lenken legger jeg ikke ved her for å unngå at
+søkemotorroboter begynner å overbelaste Scraperwiki-databasen.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg har spurt Norges geologiske undersøkelse om hvorfor de leverer
+så sjelden, og det kommer av at de har problemer etter oppgradering av

+til å levere hver uke.  Har ikke undersøkt noen av de andre.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;http://raphaelhertzog.com/tag/interview/&quot;&gt;the
-interview series&lt;/a&gt; conducted by Raphael, I started a Norwegian
-interview series with people involved in the Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-community.  This was so popular that I believe it is time to move to a
-more international audience.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;While &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and
-Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; originated in France and Norway, and have most users in
-Europe, there are users all around the globe.  One of those far away
-from me is Nigel Barker, a long time Debian Edu system administrator
-and contributor.  It is thanks to him that Debian Edu is adjusted to
-work out of the box in Japan.  I got him to answer a few questions,
-and am happy to share the response with you. :)

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Slashdot got a story about Intel planning a

+with face recognition&lt;/a&gt; to recognise the viewer, and it occurred to
+me that it would be more interesting to turn it around, and do face
+recognition on the TV image itself.  It could let the viewer know who
+is present on the screen, and perhaps look up their credibility,
+company affiliation, previous appearances etc for the viewer to better
+evaluate what is being said and done.  That would be a feature I would
+be willing to pay for.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;p&gt;I would not be willing to pay for a TV that point a camera on my
+household, like the big brother feature apparently proposed by Intel.

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/SOAP_based_webservice_from_Dell_to_check_server_support_status.html&quot;&gt;I
+reported how to get&lt;/a&gt; the support status out of Dell using an
+unofficial and undocumented SOAP API, which I since have found out was
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2012-February/045959.html&quot;&gt;discovered
+by Daniel De Marco in february&lt;/a&gt;.  Combined with my web scraping
+code for HP, Dell and IBM
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Checking_server_hardware_support_status_for_Dell__HP_and_IBM_servers.html&quot;&gt;from
+2009&lt;/a&gt;, I got inspired and wrote
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://views.scraperwiki.com/run/computer-hardware-support-status/&quot;&gt;a
+web service&lt;/a&gt; based on Scraperwiki to make it easy to look up the
+support status and get a machine readable result back.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is what it look like at the moment when asking for the JSON
+output:
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% GET &lt;a href=&quot;https://views.scraperwiki.com/run/computer-hardware-support-status/?format=json&amp;vendor=Dell&amp;servicetag=2v1xwn1&quot;&gt;https://views.scraperwiki.com/run/computer-hardware-support-status/?format=json&amp;vendor=Dell&amp;servicetag=2v1xwn1&lt;/a&gt;
+supportstatus({&quot;servicetag&quot;: &quot;2v1xwn1&quot;, &quot;warrantyend&quot;: &quot;2013-11-24&quot;, &quot;shipped&quot;: &quot;2010-11-24&quot;, &quot;scrapestamputc&quot;: &quot;2012-06-06T20:26:56.965847&quot;, &quot;scrapedurl&quot;: &quot;http://143.166.84.118/services/assetservice.asmx?WSDL&quot;, &quot;vendor&quot;: &quot;Dell&quot;, &quot;productid&quot;: &quot;&quot;})
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It currently support Dell and HP, and I am hoping for help to add
+support for other vendors.  The python source is available on
+Scraperwiki and I welcome help with adding more features.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg oppdaget nylig en
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adressa.no/nyheter/trondheim/article1831198.ece&quot;&gt;artikkel
+i Adresseavisa&lt;/a&gt; i Trondheim som nevner FiksGataMi, og der Trondheim
+kommune ser ut til å fortelle at de ikke følger forvaltningslovens
+krav ved mottak av meldinger sendt inn via FiksGataMi.  La derfor
+nettopp inn denne kommentaren til artikkelen:&lt;p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Her er en liten faktaoppdatering om FiksGataMi-tjenesten, da noen
+ser ut til å ha misforstått hvordan den fungerer.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;FiksGataMi er et privat initiativ opprettet og drevet av
+medlemsforeningen NUUG.  FiksGataMi tar imot meldinger om feil i
+offentlig infrastruktur, og sender meldingen skriftlig videre på vegne
+av innmelder til aktuell aktør i det offentlige, det være seg kommune,
+fylke eller vegvesenregion.  Offentlig etat blir valgt ut fra
+geografisk plassering og kategori valgt av innsender.  Offentlige
+etater er i følge forvaltningsloven pliktig å følge opp og besvare
+skriftlige henvendelser, og hvis noen av mottakerne ikke gjør dette
+kan en klage på lovbrudd i det offentlige.  FiksGataMi fungerer dermed
+som en slags epostklient for innbyggerne der kopi av innsendte
+meldinger gjøres tilgjengelig og knyttes til kartplassering for enkel
+gjenfinning.  Å sende inn nye problemrapporter via FiksGataMi er
+dermed ikke avhengig av at kommunen aktivt må følge med på meldinger
+hos FiksGataMi, da de får dem tilsendt på sine offisielle
+epostmottakspunkter.  Hvorvidt noe blir fikset og om innbyggerne er
+opp til mottaker av meldingene.  For Trondheim kommune er
+mottaksadressen bydrift.vegdrift@trondheim.kommune.no, en adresse jeg
+inntil jeg leste denne artikkelen trodde ble håndtert i henhold til
+forvaltningslovens krav.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Kan ellers fortelle at 57 kommuner lenker til FiksGataMi fra sine
+nettsider, og at 37 % (4182 av 11266 ) av problemrapportene sendt inn
+via FiksGataMi er markert som løst i løsningen.  Trondheim kommune har
+fått tilbud om å få rapportene levert på datamaskinlesbart format i
+stedet for epost, men har ikke takket ja så langt.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Vennlig hilsen Petter Reinholdtsen, en av NUUG-folkene bak FiksGataMi.no&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Det høres for meg ut som om innbyggerne i Trondheim burde klage på
+kommunens potensielle lovbrudd.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Back in 2010, Mike Gabriel showed up on the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
+mailing list.  He quickly proved to be a valuable developer, and
+thanks to his tireless effort we now have Kerberos integrated into the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120311.html&quot;&gt;Debian Edu
+Squeeze&lt;/a&gt; version.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;My name is Nigel Barker, and I am British. I am married to Yumiko,
-and we have three lovely children, aged 15, 14 and 4(!) I am the IT
-Coordinator at Hiroshima International School, Japan. I am also a
-teacher, and in fact I spend most of my day teaching Mathematics,
-Science, IT, and Chemistry. I was originally a Chemistry teacher, but
-I have always had an interest in computers. Another teacher teaches
-primary school IT, but apart from that I am the only computer person,
-so that means I am the network manager, technician and webmaster,
-also, and I help people with their computer problems. I teach python
-to beginners in an after-school club. I am way too busy, so I really
-appreciate the simplicity of Skolelinux.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;My name is Mike Gabriel, I am 38 years old and live near Kiel,
+Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. I live together with a wonderful partner
+(Angela Fuß) and two own children and two bonus children (contributed
+by Angela).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;During the day I am part-time employed as a system administrator
+and part-time working as an IT consultant. The consultancy work
+touches free software topics wherever and whenever possible. During
+the nights I am a free software developer. In the gaps I also train in
+becoming an osteopath.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Starting in 2010 we (Andreas Buchholz, Angela Fuß, Mike Gabriel)
+have set up a free software project in the area of Kiel that aims at
+introducing free software into schools. The project&#39;s name is
+&quot;IT-Zukunft Schule&quot; (IT future for schools). The project links IT
+skills with communication skills.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;In around 2004 or 5 I discovered the ltsp project, and set up a
-server in the IT lab. I wanted some way to connect it to our central
-samba server, which I was also quite poor at configuring. I discovered
-Edubuntu when it came out, but it didn&#39;t really improve my setup. I
-did various desperate searches for things like &quot;school Linux server&quot;
-and ended up in a document called &quot;Drift&quot; something or other. Reading
-there it became clear that Skolelinux was going to solve all my
-problems in one go. I was very excited, but apprehensive, because my
-previous attempts to install Debian had ended in failure (I used
-Mandrake for everything - ltsp, samba, apache, mail, ns...). I
-downloaded a beta version, had some problems, so subscribed to the
-Debian Edu list for help. I have remained subscribed ever since, and
-my school has run a Skolelinux network since Sarge.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;While preparing our own customised Linux distribution for
+&quot;IT-Zukunft Schule&quot; we were repeatedly asked if we really wanted to
+reinvent the wheel. What schools really need is already available,
+people said.  From this impulse we started evaluating other Linux
+distributions that target being used for school networks.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;At the end we short-listed two approaches and compared them: a
+commercial Linux distribution developed by a company in Bremen,
+Germany, and Skolelinux / Debian Edu. Between 12/2010 and 03/2011 we
+went to several events and met people being responsible for marketing
+and development of either of the distributions. Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu was by far much more convincing compared to the other product that
+got short-listed beforehand--across the full spectrum. What was most
+attractive for me personally: the perspective of collaboration within
+the developmental branch of the Debian Edu project itself.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In parallel with this, we talked to many local and not-so-local
+people.  People teaching at schools, headmasters, politicians, data
+protection experts, other IT professionals.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We came to two conclusions:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;First, a technical conclusion: What schools need is available in
+bits and pieces here and there, and none of the solutions really fit
+by 100%. Any school we have seen has a very individual IT setup
+whereas most of each school&#39;s requirements could mapped by a standard
+IT solution.  The requirement to this IT solution is flexibility and
+customisability, so that individual adaptations here and there are
+possible.  In terms of re-distributing and rolling out such a
+standardised IT system for schools (a system that is still to some
+degree customisable) there is still a lot of work to do here
+locally. Debian Edu / Skolelinux has been our choice as the starting
+point.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Second, a holistic conclusion: What schools need does not exist at
+all (or we missed it so far). There are several technical solutions
+for handling IT at schools that tend to make a good impression. What
+has been missing completely here in Germany, though, is the enrolment
+of people into using IT and teaching with IT. &quot;IT-Zukunft Schule&quot;
+tries to provide an approach for this.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Only some schools have some sort of a media concept which explains,
+defines and gives guidance on how to use IT in class. Most schools in
+Northern Germany do not have an IT service provider, the school&#39;s IT
+equipment is managed by one or (if the school is lucky) two (admin)
+teachers, most of the workload these admin teachers get done in there
+spare time.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We were surprised that only a very few admin teachers were
+networked with colleagues from other schools. Basically, every school
+here around has its individual approach of providing IT equipment to
+teachers and students and the exchange of ideas has been quasi
+non-existent until 2010/2011.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Quite some (non-admin) teachers try to avoid using IT technology in
+class as a learning medium completely. Several reasons for this
+avoidance do exist.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We discovered that no-one has ever taken a closer look at this
+social part of IT management in schools, so far. On our quest journey
+for a technical IT solution for schools, we discussed this issue with
+several teachers, headmasters, politicians, other IT professionals and
+they all confirmed: a holistic approach of considering IT management
+at schools, an approach that includes the people in place, will be new
+and probably a gain for all.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;For me the integrated setup. This is not just the server, or the
-workstation, or the ltsp. Its all of them, and its all configured
-ready to go. I read somewhere in the early documentation that it is
-designed to be setup and managed by the Maths or Science teacher, who
-doesn&#39;t necessarily know much about computers, in a small Norwegian
-school. That describes me perfectly if you replace Norway with
-Japan.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;There is a list of advantages: international context, openness to
+any kind of contributions, do-ocracy policy, the closeness to Debian,
+the different installation scenarios possible (from stand-alone
+workstation to complex multi-server sites), the transparency within
+project communication, honest communication within the group of
+developers, etc.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;The desktop is fairly plain. If you compare it with Edubuntu, who
-have fun themes for children, or with distributions such as Mint, who
-make the desktop beautiful. They create a good impression on people
-who don&#39;t need to understand how to use any of it, but who might be
-important to the school. School administrators or directors, for
-instance, or parents. Even kids. Debian itself usually has ugly
-default theme settings. It was my dream a few years back that some
-kind of integration would allow Edubuntu to do the desktop stuff and
-Debian Edu the servers, but now I realise how impossible that is.  A
-second disadvantage is that if something goes wrong, or you need to
-customise something, then suddenly the level of expertise required
-multiplies. For example, backup wasn&#39;t working properly in Lenny. It
-took me ages to learn how to set up my own server to do rsync backups.
-I am afraid of anything to do with ldap, but perhaps Gosa will
-help.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Every coin has two sides:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Technically: &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/311188&quot;&gt;BTS issue
+#311188&lt;/a&gt;, tricky upgradability of a Debian Edu main server, network
+client installations on top of a plain vanilla Debian installation
+should become possible sometime in the near future, one could think
+about splitting the very complex package debian-edu-config into
+several portions (to make it easier for new developers to
+contribute).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Another issue I see is that we (as Debian Edu developers) should
+find out more about the network of people who do the marketing for
+Debian Edu / Skolelinux. There is a very active group in Germany
+promoting Skolelinux on the bigger Linux Days within Germany. Are
+there other groups like that in other countries? How can we bring
+these marketing people together (marketing group A with group B and
+all of them with the group of Debian Edu developers)? During the last
+meeting of the German Skolelinux group, I got the impression of people
+there being rather disconnected from the development department of
+Debian Edu / Skolelinux.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Nowadays I only use Debian on my personal computers. I have one for
-studio work (I play guitar and write songs), running AV Linux
-(customised Debian) a netbook running Squeeze, and a bigger laptop
-still running Skolelinux Lenny workstation. I have a Tjener in my
-house, that&#39;s very useful for the family photos and music.  At school
-the students only use Skolelinux. (Some teachers and the office still
-have windows). So that means we only use free software all day every
-day. Open office, The GIMP, Firefox/Iceweasel, VLC and Audacity are
-installed on every computer in school, irrespective of OS.  We also
-have Koha on Debian for the library, and Apache, Moodle, b2evolution
-and Etomite on Debian for the www. The firewall is Untangle.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;For my daily business, I do not use commercial software at all.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For normal stuff I use Iceweasel/Firefox, Libreoffice.org. For
+serious text writing I prefer LaTeX. I use gimp, inkscape, scribus for
+more artistic tasks. I run virtual machines in KVM and Virtualbox.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I am one of the upstream developers of X2Go. In 2010 I started the
+development of a Python based X2Go Client, called PyHoca-GUI.
+PyHoca-GUI has brought forth a Python X2Go Client API that currently
+is being integrated in Ubuntu&#39;s software center.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For communications I have my own Kolab server running using Horde
+as web-based groupware client. For IRC I love to use irssi, for Jabber
+I have several clients that I use, mostly pidgin, though. I am also
+the Debian maintainer of Coccinella, a Jabber-based interactive
+whiteboard.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My favourite terminal emulator is KDE&#39;s Yakuake.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;Current trends are in our favour. Open source is big in industry,
-and ordinary people have heard of it. The spread of Android and the
-popularity of Apple have helped to weaken the impression that you have
-to have Microsoft on everything. People complain to me much less about
-file formats and Word than they did 5 years ago.  The Edu aspect is
-also a selling point. This is all customised for schools. Where is the
-Windows-edu, or the Mac-edu?  But of course the main attraction is
-budget.The trick is to convince people that the quality is not
-compromised when you stop paying and use free software instead. That
-is one reason why I say the desktop experience is a weakness. People
-are not impressed when their USB drive doesn&#39;t work, or their browser
-doesn&#39;t play flash, for example.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Tok nettopp en titt på listen over løste problemer i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiksgatami.no/&quot;&gt;FiksGataMi&lt;/a&gt; (hentet via
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiksgatami.no/open311&quot;&gt;Open311-søkegrensesnittet&lt;/a&gt;),
-og lot meg imponere over Hamar kommunes raske respons.  Sjekk
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiksgatami.no/report/10791&quot;&gt;rapport #10791&lt;/a&gt;, der
-Hamar kommune kl. 10:19 i dag får beskjed om at det er dårlig
-brøyting, allerede 10:50 melder kommunen tilbake at de er på saken.
-18:26 samme dag melder så innsender at problemet er løst.  Hatten av
-for folkene i Hamar kommune!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Apropos bra respons.  En bruker sendte for noen dager inn følgende
-tilbakemelding til oss som står bak tjenesten.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Rapporterte inn slukte gatelys på Torsnesveien, og to
-uker etterpå er lysene tilbake. Flott service!&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er veldig hyggelig å høre at FiksGataMi fungerer bra for
-innbyggerne.  Måtte alle landets innbyggere få samme gode erfaring med
-FiksGataMi og det offentlige.  I dag er det 52 kommuner som har lenke
-til FiksGataMi fra sine nettsider, og dermed indikerer at de liker vår
-tjeneste.  Måtte de få følge av resten av landets kommuner snart. :)&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Many years ago, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux
-/ Debian Edu project&lt;/a&gt; initiated a student project to create a tool
-for making stop motion movies.  The proposal came from a teacher
-needing such tool on Skolelinux.  The project, called &quot;stopmotion&quot;,
-was manned by two extraordinary students and won a school award and a
-national aware with this great project.  The project was initiated and
-mentored by Herman Robak, and manned by the students Bjørn Erik Nilsen
-and Fredrik Berg Kjølstad.  They got in touch with people at Aardman
-Animation studio and received feedback on how professionals would like
-such stopmotion tool to work, and the end result was and is used by
-animators around the globe.  But as is usual after studying, both got
-jobs and went elsewhere, and did not have time to properly tend to the
-project, and it has been lingering for a few years now.  Until last
-year...&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Last year some of the users got together with Herman, and moved the
-project to Sourceforge and in effect restarted the project under a new
-name,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxstopmotion/&quot;&gt;linuxstopmotion&lt;/a&gt;.
-The name change was done to make it possible to find the project using
-Internet search engines (try to search for &#39;stopmotion&#39; to see what I
-mean). I&#39;ve been following
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxstopmotion-community&quot;&gt;the
-mailing list&lt;/a&gt; and the improvement already in place and planned for
-the future is encouraging.  If you want to make stop motion movies.
-Check it out. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few years ago I wrote
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Checking_server_hardware_support_status_for_Dell__HP_and_IBM_servers.html&quot;&gt;how
+to extract support status&lt;/a&gt; for your Dell and HP servers.  Recently
+I have learned from colleges here at the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uio.no/&quot;&gt;University of Oslo&lt;/a&gt; that Dell have
+made this even easier, by providing a SOAP based web service.  Given
+the service tag, one can now query the Dell servers and get machine
+readable information about the support status.  This perl code
+demonstrate how to do it:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+use strict;
+use warnings;
+use SOAP::Lite;
+use Data::Dumper;
+my $GUID = &#39;11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111&#39;;
+my $App = &#39;test&#39;;
+my $servicetag = $ARGV[0] or die &quot;Please supply a servicetag. $!\n&quot;;
+my ($deal, $latest, @dates);
+my $s = SOAP::Lite
+    -&gt; uri(&#39;http://support.dell.com/WebServices/&#39;)
+    -&gt; on_action( sub { join &#39;&#39;, @_ } )
+    -&gt; proxy(&#39;http://xserv.dell.com/services/assetservice.asmx&#39;)
+    ;
+my $a = $s-&gt;GetAssetInformation(
+    SOAP::Data-&gt;name(&#39;guid&#39;)-&gt;value($GUID)-&gt;type(&#39;&#39;),
+    SOAP::Data-&gt;name(&#39;applicationName&#39;)-&gt;value($App)-&gt;type(&#39;&#39;),
+    SOAP::Data-&gt;name(&#39;serviceTags&#39;)-&gt;value($servicetag)-&gt;type(&#39;&#39;),
+);
+print Dumper($a -&gt; result) ;
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The output can look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+$VAR1 = {
+          &#39;Asset&#39; =&gt; {

+
+&lt;p&gt;I have not been able to find any documentation from Dell about this
+service outside the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://xserv.dell.com/services/assetservice.asmx?op=GetAssetInformation&quot;&gt;inline
+documentation&lt;/a&gt;, and according to
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://iboyd.net/index.php/2012/02/14/updated-dell-warranty-information-script/&quot;&gt;one
+comment&lt;/a&gt; it can have stability issues, but it is a lot better than
+scraping HTML pages. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Wonder if HP and other server vendors have a similar service.  If
+you know of one, drop me an email. :)&lt;/p&gt;
