+&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.cihar.com/archives/2012/01/17/colorhug-has-arrived/&quot;&gt;discovered
+the ColorHug&lt;/a&gt;, a USB dongle from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hughski.com/index.html&quot;&gt;Hughski&lt;/a&gt; to calibrate
+the color on a computer screen.  The software required is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/colorhug-client.html&quot;&gt;included
+in Debian&lt;/a&gt;, and I decided back then to preorder from the next
+batch.  Yesterday I finally heard back from them, and got the
+opportunity to order.  Today I ordered mine, and eagerly await the
+delivery.  I hope it arrive next week, as I got a confirmation that it
+should go in the mail on monday. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to ensure the colors on the screen match the intended
+colors, I suggest you check out this cheap tool with free software
+drivers. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Peter Hidas fra Gartner melder i Computerworld at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article245011.ece&quot;&gt;Unix
+nedkjempes av Linux og Windows&lt;/a&gt;.  For meg er påstanden meningsløs,
+da Linux er en variant av Unix, og hele diskusjonen om Linux er Unix
+eller ikke er utdatert og uinteressant.  Jeg ser at Helge Skrivervik
+deler mitt syn på saken i sin kommentar fra i går om at
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mymayday.com/blogs/2012/unix-linux&quot;&gt;Unix vs. Linux
+= uinteressant&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt;-sammenheng møter jeg av og
+til folk som tror NUUG er for avdankede folk som driver med den samme
+Unix-varianten som Peter Hidas skriver om i sin kommentar, og dermed
+er en foreningen for avdankede teknologer interessert i døende
+teknologi.  Intet kunne være lengre fra sannheten.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;NUUG er en forening for oss som har sans for fri programvare, åpne
+standarder og Unix-lignende operativsystemer, som Ubuntu, FreeBSD,
+Debian, Mint, Gentoo, Android, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, Firefox, LibreOffice,
+ODF, HTML, C++, ECMA-Script, etc.  Kort sagt der nyskapning skjer på
+IT-fronten i dag.  Det innebærer selvfølgelig også de som er
+interessert i de &quot;gamle&quot; Unix-ene som Solaris og HP-UX, men de er bare
+et lite mindretall blant NUUGs medlemmer.  De aller fleste medlemmene
+har i dag fokus på Linux.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a few busy weeks for me, but I am finally back to
+publish another interview with the people behind
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;.
+This time it is one of our German developers, who have helped out over the
+years to make sure both a lot of major but also a lot of the minor
+details get right before release.

 
 &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;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;My name is Jürgen Leibner, I&#39;m 49 years old and living in
+Bielefeld, a town in northern Germany.  I worked nearly 20 years as
+certified engineer in the department for plant design and layout of an
+international company for machinery and equipment.  Since 2011 I&#39;m a
+certified technical writer (tekom e.V.) and doing technical
+documentations for a steam turbine manufacturer.  From April this year
+I will manage the department of technical documentation at a
+manufacturer of automation and assembly line engineering.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My first contact with linux was around 1993. Since that time I used
+it at work and at home repeatedly but not exclusively as I do now at
+home since 2006.&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;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;Once a day in the early year of 2001 when I wanted to fetch my
+daughter from primary school, there was a teacher sitting in the
+middle of 20 old computers trying to boot them and he failed. I helped
+him to get them booting. That was seen by the school director and she
+asked me if I would like to manage that the school gets all that old
+computers in use. I answered: &quot;Yes&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Some weeks later every of the 10 classrooms had one computer
+running Windows98. I began to collect old computers and equipment as
+gifts and installed the first computer room with a peer-to-peer
+network. I did my work at school without being payed in my spare time
+and with a lot of fun.  About one year later the school was connected
+to Internet and a local area network was installed in the school
+building.  That was the time to have a server and I knew it must be a
+Linux server to be able to fulfil all the wishes of the teachers and
+being able to do this in a transparent and economic way, without extra
+costs for things like licence and software.  So I searched for a
+school server system running under Linux and I found a couple of
+people nearby who founded &#39;skolelinux.de&#39;. It was the Skolelinux
+prerelease 32 I first tried out for being used at the school.  I
+managed the IT of that school until the municipal authority took over
+the IT management and centralised the services for all schools in
+Bielefeld in December of 2006.&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;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;When I&#39;m looking back to the beginning, there were other advantages
+for me as today.&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;In the past there were advantages like:&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;ul&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;I don&#39;t need to buy it so it generates no costs to the school as
+they had little money to spent for computers and software.&lt;/li&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;li&gt;It has a licence which grands all rights to use it without
+cost.&lt;/li&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;li&gt;It was more able to fit all requirements of a server system for
+schools than a Microsoft server system, even if there are only Windows
+clients because of it&#39;s preconfigured overall concept of being a
+infrastructure solution and community for schools, not only a
+server&lt;/li&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;

-               <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;

-               <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;

-               <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;

-               <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;

-                <pubDate>Fri, 9 Mar 2012 11:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <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. :)
+&lt;li&gt;I was able to configure the server to the needs of the
+school.&lt;/li&gt;

 
 

+&lt;/ul&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;Today some of the advantages has been lost, changed or new ones
+came up in this way:&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;&lt;ul&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;li&gt;Most schools here do have money to buy hardware and software
+now.&lt;/li&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;li&gt;They are today mostly managed from central IT departments which
+have own concepts which often do not fit to Debian Edu concepts
+because they are to close to Microsoft ideology.&lt;/li&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;li&gt;With the Squeeze version of Debian Edu which now uses GOsa² for
+management I feel more able to manage the daily tasks than with the
+interfaces used in the past.&lt;/li&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;li&gt;It is more modular than in the past and fits even better to the
+different needs.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;The documentation is usable and gets better every day.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;More people than ever before are using Debian Edu all over the
+world and so the community, which is an very important part I think,
+is sharing knowledge and minds.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Most, maybe all, of the technical requirements for schools are
+solved today by Debian Edu. &lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&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;&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;&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;There are too few IT companies able to integrate Debian Edu into
+their product portfolio for serving schools with concepts or even
+whole municipality areas.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Debian Edu has beside other free and open software projects not
+enough lobbyists which promote free and open software to
+politicians.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Technically there are no disadvantages I&#39;m aware of.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&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;&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;I use Debian stable on my home server and on my little desktop
+computer. On my laptop I use Debian testing/sid. The applications I
+use on my laptop and my desktop are Open/Libre-office, Iceweasel,
+KMail, DigiKam, Amarok, Dolphin, okular and all the other programs I
+need from the KDE environment.  On console I use newsbeuter, mutt,
+screen, irssi and all the other famous and useful tools.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My home server provides mail services with exim, dovecot, roundcube
+and mutt over ssh on the console, file services with samba, NFS,
+rsync, web services with apache, moinmoin-wiki, multimedia services
+with gallery2 and mediatomb and database services with MySQL for me
+and the whole family.  I probably forgot something.&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;&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;
+&lt;p&gt;I believe, we should provide concepts for IT companies to integrate
+Debian Edu into their product portfolio with use cases for different
+countries and areas all over the world.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Fri, 11 May 2012 23:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I går ble jeg kontaktet på epost av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digi.no&quot;&gt;digi.no&lt;/a&gt;s Eirik Rossen som lurte på om
+jeg hadde noen kommentarer til
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.statkart.no/statkart.ny.no/nor/Statens_kartverk/Om_Statens_kartverk/Pressesenter/Nyhetsarkiv/Nyheter_2012/mai/Norge+i+tet+på+digitale+kartdata.d25-SwZLMWg.ips&quot;&gt;kartverkets
+pressemelding&lt;/a&gt; om Norges tetplassering når det gjelder
+kart-tilgjengelighet.  Jeg svarte følgende, som resulterte i noen
+sitater i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digi.no/895420/norge-i-tet-paa-digitale-kartdata#debatt&quot;&gt;Digis
+dekning&lt;/a&gt; av kartverkets pressemelding.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Takk for muligheten til å kommentere.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Pressemeldingen omhandler tilgjengeligheten av kart for aktører som er
+medlem i kartellet Norge Digitalt.  Det er ingen overraskelse for meg
+at tilgjengeligheten til kart hos disse medlemmene er god.  Men for
+oss på utsiden av kartellet er tilgjengelighet av det som burde være
+felleskapets og innbyggernes kart dårlig.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Bruksvilkårene til kartene fra medlemmene i Norge Digital hindrer
+nyskapning og selv om en er villig til å betale den ublu prisen som
+forlanges får en fortsatt ikke tilgang til kartdata uten
+bruksbegresninger.  Derfor bruker jeg heller tid på å gjøre
+fribrukskartet OpenStreetmap bedre.  Der fremmer bruksvilkårene
+nyskapning og lar meg skape nye tjenester uten å måtte søke om
+tillatelse fra det offentlige.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;En annen problemstilling er jo sikkerhet til fjells og til sjøs.
+Mon tro hvor mange ulykker på sjøen som kunne vært unngått hvis
+sjøkartdata var tilgjengelig uten bruksbegrensninger, slik at enhver
+med GPS eller kartplotter tilnærmet kostnadsfritt kunne sikre seg mest
+mulig oppdaterte sjøkart?  Det hjelper jo ikke at offentlige etater
+har enkel tilgang til sjøkartene når det samme ikke gjelder hver
+båtkaptein og småbåtfører.  Jeg tror samfunnet som helhet hadde tjent
+på å unngå kostnadene ved disse ulykkene ved å tvinge sjøkartverket
+til å publisere sine kartdata på Internet uten bruksbegresninger.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/panasonic-er-1611.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I normally cut my hair short, and my tool of choice has been a
+common hair/beard cutter, bought in a electrical shop here in Norway.
+But the last ones have not really been up to the task.  My last
+cutter, some model from Braun, could only cut a few of my hairs at the
+time, and cutting my head took forever.  And the one before that did
+not work very well either.  We have looked for something better for a
+while, but it was not until I ended up visiting a hairdresser that we
+discovered that there are indeed better tools available.  But these
+are not marketed and sold to &quot;regular consumers&quot;.  The hair saloons
+can get them through their suppliers, but their suppliers only sell
+companies.  The models they sell, are very different from the ones
+available from Elkjøp and Lefdal.  The main difference is their
+efficiency.  It would cut my hair in 5 minutes, instead of the 30-40
+minutes required by my impotent Braun.  The hairdresser I visited had
+a Panasonic ER160, which unfortunately is no longer available from the
+producer.  But I found it had a successor, the Panasonic ER1611.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The next step was to find somewhere to buy it.  This was not
+straight forward.  The list of suppliers I got from the hairdresser
+did not want to sell anything to me.  But searching for the model on
+the web we found a supplier in Norway willing to sell it to us for
+around NOK 4000,-.  This was a bit much.  We kept searching and
+finally found a Danish supplier
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://nicehair.dk/panasonic-er-1611-professionel-hartrimmer.html&quot;&gt;selling
+it for around NOK 1800,-&lt;/a&gt;.  We ordered one, and it arrived a few
+days ago.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The instructions said it had to charge for 8 hours when we started
+to use it, so we left it charging over night.  Normally it will only
+need one hour to charge.  The following evening we successfully tested
+it, and I can warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a real hair
+cutter.  The ones we have used until now have been hair cutter
+toys.&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;In &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article243690.ece&quot;&gt;an
+article today&lt;/a&gt; published by Computerworld Norway, the photographer
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.urke.com/eirik/&quot;&gt;Eirik Helland Urke&lt;/a&gt; reports
+that the video editor application included with
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x/#specs&quot;&gt;HTC One
+X&lt;/a&gt; have some quite surprising terms of use.  The article is mostly
+based on the twitter message from mister Urke, stating:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/urke/status/194062269724897280&quot;&gt;Drøy
+brukeravtale: HTC kan bruke MINE redigerte videoer kommersielt. Selv
+kan jeg KUN bruke dem privat.&lt;/a&gt;&quot;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I quickly translated it to this English message:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&quot;Arrogant user agreement: HTC can use MY edited videos
+commercially.  Although I can ONLY use them privately.&quot;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been unable to find the text of the license term myself, but
+suspect it is a variation of the MPEG-LA terms I
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Terms_of_use_for_video_produced_by_a_Canon_IXUS_130_digital_camera.html&quot;&gt;discovered
+with my Canon IXUS 130&lt;/a&gt;.  The HTC One X specification specifies that
+the recording format of the phone is .amr for audio and .mp3 for
+video.  AMR is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate_audio_codec#Licensing_and_patent_issues&quot;&gt;Adaptive
+Multi-Rate audio codec&lt;/a&gt; with patents which according to the
+Wikipedia article require an license agreement with
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.voiceage.com/&quot;&gt;VoiceAge&lt;/a&gt;.  MP4 is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Patent_licensing&quot;&gt;MPEG4 with
+H.264&lt;/a&gt;, which according to Wikipedia require a licence agreement
+with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/&quot;&gt;MPEG-LA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I know why I prefer
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition&quot;&gt;free and open
+standards&lt;/a&gt; also for video.&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;

+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hva_har_mine_representanter_stemt_i_Storinget_.html&quot;&gt;januar
+i fjor&lt;/a&gt; startet vi i NUUG arbeid med å gjøre informasjon om hvem
+som har stemt hva på &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/&quot;&gt;Stortinget&lt;/a&gt;
+enklere tilgjengelig.  I løpet av få måneder fant vi sammen med
+organisasjonen &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.holderdeord.no/&quot;&gt;Holder de ord&lt;/a&gt;
+som arbeidet mot et lignende mål.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Siden den gang har vi fått tak i maskinelt lesbart informasjon om
+hvem som stemte hva mellom 1990 og våren 2010, og tilgang til
+stortingets nye datatjeneste som har informasjon fra høsten 2011 til i
+dag.  Det gjenstår litt arbeid med det første datasettet, men
+datasettet fra høsten 2011 er klart til bruk.  Begge datasettene er

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/RAND_terms___non_reasonable_and_discriminatory.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/RAND_terms___non_reasonable_and_discriminatory.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Here in Norway, the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/fad.html?id=339&quot;&gt; Ministry of
+Government Administration, Reform and Church Affairs&lt;/a&gt; is behind
+a &lt;a href=&quot;http://standard.difi.no/forvaltningsstandarder&quot;&gt;directory of
+standards&lt;/a&gt; that are recommended or mandatory for use by the
+government.  When the directory was created, the people behind it made
+an effort to ensure that everyone would be able to implement the
+standards and compete on equal terms to supply software and solutions
+to the government.  Free software and non-free software could compete
+on the same level.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But recently, some standards with RAND
+(&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminatory_licensing&quot;&gt;Reasonable
+And Non-Discriminatory&lt;/a&gt;) terms have made their way into the
+directory.  And while this might not sound too bad, the fact is that
+standard specifications with RAND terms often block free software from
+implementing them.  The reasonable part of RAND mean that the cost per
+user/unit is low,and the non-discriminatory part mean that everyone
+willing to pay will get a license.  Both sound great in theory.  In
+practice, to get such license one need to be able to count users, and
+be able to pay a small amount of money per unit or user.  By
+definition, users of free software do not need to register their use.
+So counting users or units is not possible for free software projects.
+And given that people will use the software without handing any money
+to the author, it is not really economically possible for a free
+software author to pay a small amount of money to license the rights
+to implement a standard when the income available is zero.  The result
+in these situations is that free software are locked out from
+implementing standards with RAND terms.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Because of this, when I see someone claiming the terms of a
+standard is reasonable and non-discriminatory, all I can think of is
+how this really is non-reasonable and discriminatory.  Because free
+software developers are working in a global market, it does not really
+help to know that software patents are not supposed to be enforceable
+in Norway.  The patent regimes in other countries affect us even here.
+I really hope the people behind the standard directory will pay more
+attention to these issues in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;You can find more on the issues with RAND, FRAND and RAND-Z terms
+from Simon Phipps
+(&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2010/11/rand-not-so-reasonable/&quot;&gt;RAND:
+Not So Reasonable?&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2012-04-21: Just came across a
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/04/of-microsoft-netscape-patents-and-open-standards/index.htm&quot;&gt;blog
+post from Glyn Moody&lt;/a&gt; over at Computer World UK warning about the
+same issue, and urging people to speak out to the UK government.  I
+can only urge Norwegian users to do the same for
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.standard.difi.no/hoyring/hoyring-om-nye-anbefalte-it-standarder&quot;&gt;the
+hearing taking place at the moment&lt;/a&gt; (respond before 2012-04-27).
+It proposes to require video conferencing standards including

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Da jeg googlet etter noe annet kom jeg tilfeldigvis over
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.duo.uio.no/sok/work.html?WORKID=58309&quot;&gt;en
+hovedfagsoppgave&lt;/a&gt; ved Universitetet i Oslo som diskuterer verdien
+av GPLs fire friheter for brukerne av IT-systemer.  Jeg ble fascinert
+over det som presenteres der.  Her er sammendraget:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Motivasjonen til å skrive denne oppgaven er en personlig undring
+over hvorfor det primært, og ofte eksklusivt, fokuseres på det
+økonomiske aspektet ved utredninger om fri programvare er et godt valg
+for det offentlige. Fri og produsenteid programvare bygger på
+fundamentalt forskjellige ideologier som kan ha implikasjoner utover
+økonomiske kostnader. Kunnskapskulturen som er med på å definere fri
+programvare er basert på åpenhet, og er en verdi i seg selv.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Oppgavens tema er programvarelisensen GPL og frihet. GPL-lisensiert
+programvare gir visse friheter i forhold til produsenteid
+programvare. Mitt spørsmål er om, og eventuelt i hvilken utstrekning,
+disse frihetene blir benyttet av ulike brukere og hvordan de
+manifesterer seg for disse brukerne. Sentrale spørsmål i oppgaven
+er:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Hvordan fordeles handlekraft gjennom lisensieringen av programvaren?&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Hvilke konsekvenser har programvarelisensen for de ulike brukere? &lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Fri programvare gir blant annet brukeren mulighet til å studere og
+modifisere kildekoden. Denne formen for frihet erverves gjennom
+kunnskap og krever at brukeren også er en ekspert. Hva skjer med
+frihetene til GPL når sluttbrukeren er en annen? Dette diskuteres i
+dialog med informantene.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg har i denne oppgaven samlet inn intervjudata fra IKT-ansvarlige
+ved grunnskolene i Nittedal kommune, driftsansvarlig og IKT-veilederen
+for skolene i kommunen, samt IKT-koordinator for utdanning i Akershus
+fylkeskommune og bokmåloversettere av OpenOffice.org. Den empiriske
+delen av oppgaven er delt inn i to seksjoner; den første omhandler
+operativsystemet Skolelinux, den andre kontorprogrampakken
+OpenOffice.org.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Som vi vil se gir GPL lokal frihet og kontroll gjennom omfordeling
+av makt fra produsent til bruker. Brukerens makt analyseres gjennom
+begrepene brukermedvirkning og handlingsfrihet. Det blir også lagt
+vekt på strukturelle forhold rundt bruken av teknologi, og spesielt de
+økonomiske begrepene nettverkseksternaliteter, innlåsing og
+stiavhengighet. Dette er begreper av spesiell nytte når objektet som
+omsettes eller distribueres er et kommunikasjonsprodukt, fordi verdien
+til et slikt gode for en potensiell bruker avhenger av antall
+eksisterende brukere av godet. I tilknytning til denne problematikken
+inneholder oppgaven også en diskusjon rundt åpne standarder og
+formater.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Oppgaven konkluderer med at de «fire frihetene» som GPL-lisensen er
+laget for å beskytte er av avgjørende betydning for bruken av
+OpenOffice.org og Skolelinux, i Akershus fylkeskommune såvel som i
+skolene i Nittedal. Distribusjonen av handlekraft er ikke helt
+symmetrisk. Det er først og fremst de profesjonelle utviklerne i
+Skolelinux som direkte kan nyttiggjøre seg friheten til å endre kode,
+mens en sluttbruker som Nittedal kommune nyttiggjør seg den økonomiske
+friheten til å kunne distribuere programmene. Det er imidlertid også
+slik at ingen aktør klarer seg uten alle disse «frihetene».&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg fant også en masteroppgave fra 2006, men der ligger ikke
+komplett oppgave tilgjengelig.  På tide å holde et øye med
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.duo.uio.no/sok/search.html?q=skolelinux&quot;&gt;Skolelinux-søket&lt;/a&gt;
+til DUO...&lt;/p&gt;
