-               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.coverity.com/&quot;&gt;Coverity&lt;/a&gt; is a nice tool to
-find problems in C, C++ and Java code using static source code
-analysis.  It can detect a lot of different problems, and is very
-useful to find memory and locking bugs in the error handling part of
-the source.  The company behind it provide
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://scan.coverity.com/&quot;&gt;check of free software projects as
-a community service&lt;/a&gt;, and many hundred free software projects are
-already checked.  A few days ago I decided to have a closer look at
-the Coverity system, and discovered that the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/&quot;&gt;gnash&lt;/a&gt; and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitool/&quot;&gt;ipmitool&lt;/a&gt;
-projects I am involved with was already registered.  But these are
-fairly big, and I would also like to have a small and easy project to
-check, and decided to &lt;a href=&quot;http://scan.coverity.com/projects/1179&quot;&gt;request
-checking of the chrpath project&lt;/a&gt;.  It was
-added to the checker and discovered seven potential defects.  Six of
-these were real, mostly resource &quot;leak&quot; when the program detected an
-error.  Nothing serious, as the resources would be released a fraction
-of a second later when the program exited because of the error, but it
-is nice to do it right in case the source of the program some time in
-the future end up in a library.  Having fixed all defects and added
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/chrpath-devel&quot;&gt;a
-mailing list for the chrpath developers&lt;/a&gt;, I decided it was time to
-publish a new release.  These are the release notes:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;New in 0.16 released 2014-01-14:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Fixed all minor bugs discovered by Coverity.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Mention new project mailing list in the documentation.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;You can
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31052&quot;&gt;download the
-new version 0.16 from alioth&lt;/a&gt;.  Please let us know via the Alioth
-project if something is wrong with the new release.  The test suite
-did not discover any old errors, so if you find a new one, please also
-include a test suite check.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Sun, 16 Nov 2014 10:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;For en stund tilbake spurte jeg Fornyingsdepartementet om hvilke
+juridiske vurderinger rundt patentproblemstillingen som var gjort da
+H.264 ble tatt inn i &lt;a href=&quot;http://standard.difi.no/&quot;&gt;statens
+referansekatalog over standarder&lt;/a&gt;.  Stig Hornnes i FAD tipset meg
+om følgende som står i oppsumeringen til høringen om
+referansekatalogen versjon 2.0, som jeg siden ved hjelp av en
+innsynsforespørsel fikk tak i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.nuug.no/uttalelser/200901-standardkatalog-v2?action=AttachFile&amp;do=get&amp;target=kongelig-resolusjon.pdf&quot;&gt;PDF-utgaven av&lt;/a&gt;
+datert 2009-06-03 (saksnummer 200803291, saksbehandler Henrik
+Linnestad).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Der står det følgende om problemstillingen:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;strong&gt;4.4 Patentproblematikk&lt;/strong&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;NUUG og Opera ser det som særlig viktig at forslagene knyttet til
+lyd og video baserer seg på de royalty-frie standardene Vorbis, Theora
+og FLAC.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Kommentarene relaterer seg til at enkelte standarder er åpne, men
+inneholder tekniske prosedyrer som det i USA (og noen andre land som
+Japan) er gitt patentrettigheter til. I vårt tilfelle berører dette
+spesielt standardene Mp3 og H.264, selv om Politidirektoratet peker på
+at det muligens kan være tilsvarende problematikk også for Theora og
+Vorbis.  Dette medfører at det i USA kan kreves royalties for bruk av
+tekniske løsninger knyttet til standardene, et krav som også
+håndheves. Patenter kan imidlertid bare hevdes i de landene hvor
+patentet er gitt, så amerikanske patenter gjelder ikke andre steder
+enn USA.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Spesielt for utvikling av fri programvare er patenter
+problematisk. GPL, en &quot;grunnleggende&quot; lisens for distribusjon av fri
+programvare, avviser at programvare kan distribueres under denne
+lisensen hvis det inneholder referanser til patenterte rutiner som
+utløser krav om royalties. Det er imidlertid uproblematisk å
+distribuere fri programvareløsninger under GPL som benytter de
+aktuelle standardene innen eller mellom land som ikke anerkjenner
+patentene. Derfor finner vi også flere implementeringer av Mp3 og
+H.264 som er fri programvare, lisensiert under GPL.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I Norge og EU er patentlovgivningen langt mer restriktiv enn i USA,
+men det er også her mulig å få patentert metoder for løsning av et
+problem som relaterer seg til databehandling. Det er AIF bekjent ikke
+relevante patenter i EU eller Norge hva gjelder H.264 og Mp3, men
+muligheten for at det finnes patenter uten at det er gjort krav om
+royalties eller at det senere vil gis slike patenter kan ikke helt
+avvises.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;AIF mener det er et behov for å gi offentlige virksomheter mulighet
+til å benytte antatt royaltyfrie åpne standarder som et likeverdig
+alternativ eller i tillegg til de markedsledende åpne standardene.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Det ser dermed ikke ut til at de har vurdert patentspørsmålet i
+sammenheng med opphavsrettsvilkår slik de er formulert for f.eks.
+Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid og Sorenson-verktøyene,
+der det kreves brukstillatelse for patenter som ikke er gyldige i
+Norge for å bruke disse verktøyene til annet en personlig og ikke
+kommersiell aktivitet når det gjelder H.264-video.  Jeg må nok lete
+videre etter svar på det spørsmålet.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Dominik_George.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Wed, 25 Dec 2013 13:40:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-project&lt;/a&gt; consist of both newcomers and old timers, and this time I
-was able to get an interview with a newcomer in the project who showed
-up on the IRC channel a few weeks ago to let us know about his
-successful installation of Debian Edu Wheezy in his School.  Say hello
-to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/Natureshadow&quot;&gt;Dominik
-George&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;!-- http://www.dominik-george.de/images/foto.jpg --&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 am a 23 year-old student from Germany who has spent half of his
-life with open source. In &quot;real life&quot;, I am, as already mentioned, a
-student in the fields of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering,
-Information Technologies and Anglistics. Due to my (only partially
-voluntary) huge engagement in the open source world, these things are
-a bit vacant right now however.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I also have been working as a project teacher at a Gymasnium
-(public school) for various years now. I took up that work some time
-around 2005 when still attending that school myself and have continued
-it until today. I also had been running the (kind of very advanced)
-network of that school together with a team of very interested and
-talented students in the age of 11 to 15 years, who took the chance to
-learn a lot about open source and networking before I left the school
-to help building another school&#39;s informational education concept from
-scratch.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;That said, one might see me as a kind of &quot;glue&quot; between school kids
-and the elderly of teachers as well as between the open source
-ecosystem and the (even more complex) educational ecosystem.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When I am not busy with open source or education, I like Geocaching
-and cycling.&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;I think that happened some time around 2009 when I first attended
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.froscon.org&quot;&gt;FrOSCon&lt;/a&gt; and visited the project
-booth. I think I wasn&#39;t too interested back then because I used to
-have an attitude of disliking software that does too much stuff on its
-own. Maybe I was too inexperienced to realise the upsides of an
-&quot;out-of-the-box&quot; solution ;).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The first time I actively talked to Skolelinux people was at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openrheinruhr.de&quot;&gt;OpenRheinRuhr&lt;/a&gt; 2011 when the
-BiscuIT project, a home-grewn software used by my school for various
-really cool things from timetables and class contact lists to lunch
-ordering, student ID card printing and project elections first got to
-a stage where it could have been published. I asked the Skolelinux
-guys running the booth if the project were interested in it and gave a
-small demonstration, but there wasn&#39;t any real feedback and the guys
-seemed rather uninterested.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;After I left the school where I developed the software, it got
-mostly lost, but I am now reimplementing it for my new school. I have
-reusability and compatibility in mind, and I hop there will be a new
-basis for contributing it to the Skolelinux project ;)!&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;The most important advantage seems to be that it &quot;just
-works&quot;. After overcoming some minor (but still very annoying) glitches
-in the installer, I got a fully functional, working school network,
-without the month-long hassle I experienced when setting all that up
-from scratch in earlier years. And above that, it rocked - I didn&#39;t
-have any real hardware at hand, because the school was just founded
-and has no money whatsoever, so I installed a combined server (main
-server, terminal services and workstation) in a VM on my personal
-notebook, bridging the LTSP network interface to the ethernet port,
-and then PXE-booted the Windows notebooks that were lying around from
-it. I could use 8 clients without any performance issues, by using a
-tiny little VM on a tiny little notebook. I think that&#39;s enough to say
-that it rocks!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Secondly, there are marketing reasons. Life&#39;s bad, and so no
-politician will ever permit a setup described as &quot;Debian, an universal
-operating system, with some really cool educational tools&quot; while they
-will be jsut fine with &quot;Skolelinux, a single-purpose solution for your
-school network&quot;, even if both turn out to be the very same thing (yes,
-this is unfair towards the Skolelinux project, and must not be taken
-too seriously - you get the idea, anyway).&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;I have not been involved with Skolelinux long enough to really
-answer this question in a fair way. Thus, please allow me to put it in
-other words: &quot;What do you expect from Skolelinux to keep liking it?&quot; I
-can list a few points about that:&lt;/p&gt;

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

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I am happy to report that I on behalf of the Debian Edu team just
+sent out
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2014/10/msg00000.html&quot;&gt;this
+announcement&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+The Debian Edu Team is pleased to announce the release of Debian Edu
+Jessie 8.0+edu0~alpha0
+
+Debian Edu is a complete operating system for schools. Through its
+various installation profiles you can install servers, workstations
+and laptops which will work together on the school network. With
+Debian Edu, the teachers themselves or their technical support can
+roll out a complete multi-user multi-machine study environment within
+hours or a few days. Debian Edu comes with hundreds of applications
+pre-installed, but you can always add more packages from Debian.
+
+For those who want to give Debian Edu Jessie a try, download and
+installation instructions are available, including detailed
+instructions in the manual[1] explaining the first steps, such as
+setting up a network or adding users. Please note that the password
+for the user your prompted for during installation must have a length
+of at least 5 characters!

+
+Would you like to give your school&#39;s computer a longer life? Are you
+tired of sneaker administration, running from computer to computer
+reinstalling the operating system? Would you like to administrate all
+the computers in your school using only a couple of hours every week?
+Check out Debian Edu Jessie!
+
+Skolelinux is used by at least two hundred schools all over the world,
+mostly in Germany and Norway.
+
+About Debian Edu and Skolelinux
+===============================
+
+Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux[2], is a Linux distribution based
+on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
+configured school network. Immediately after installation a school
+server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
+waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
+Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
+initial installation of the main server from CD or USB stick all other
+machines can be installed via the network.  The provided school server
+provides LDAP database and Kerberos authentication service,
+centralized home directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other
+services.  The desktop contains more than 60 educational software
+packages[3] and more are available from the Debian archive, and
+schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE, Xfce and MATE desktop
+environment.

+Fixed bugs
+----------
+
+ * Inserting incorrect DNS information in Gosa will no longer break
+   DNS completely, but instead stop DNS updates until the incorrect
+   information is corrected (Debian bug #710362)
+ * and many others.
+
+Documentation and translation updates
+------------------------------------- 
+
+ * The Debian Edu Jessie Manual is fully translated to German, French,
+   Italian, Danish and Dutch. Partly translated versions exist for
+   Norwegian Bokmal and Spanish.
+
+Other changes
+-------------
+
+ * Due to new Squid settings, powering off or rebooting the main
+   server takes more time.
+ * To manage printers localhost:631 has to be used, currently www:631
+   doesn&#39;t work.
+
+Regressions / known problems
+----------------------------
+
+ * Installing LTSP chroot fails with a bug related to eatmydata about
+   exim4-config failing to run its postinst (see Debian bug #765694
+   and Debian bug #762103).
+ * Munin collection is not properly configured on clients (Debian bug
+   #764594).  The fix is available in a newer version of munin-node.
+ * PXE setup for Main Server and Thin Client Server setup does not
+   work when installing on a machine without direct Internet access.
+   Will be fixed when Debian bug #766960 is fixed in Jessie.

+About Debian
+============
+
+The Debian Project was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly
+free community project. Since then the project has grown to be one of
+the largest and most influential open source projects. Thousands of
+volunteers from all over the world work together to create and
+maintain Debian software. Available in 70 languages, and supporting a
+huge range of computer types, Debian calls itself the universal
+operating system.

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m really sorry I cannot say much more about that :(!&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;First of all, all software I use is free and open. I have abandoned
-all non-free software (except for firmware on my darned phone) this
-year.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I run Debian GNU/Linux on all PC systems I use. On that, I mostly
-run text tools. I use
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm&quot;&gt;mksh&lt;/a&gt; as shell,
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mirbsd.org/jupp.htm&quot;&gt;jupp&lt;/a&gt; as very advanced
-text editor (I even got the developer to help me write a script/macro
-based full-featured student management software with the two),
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://mcabber.com/&quot;&gt;mcabber&lt;/a&gt; for XMPP and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.irssi.org/&quot;&gt;irssi&lt;/a&gt; for IRC. For that overly
-coloured world called the WWW, I use
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/&quot;&gt;Iceweasel
-(Firefox)&lt;/a&gt;. Oh, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mutt.org/&quot;&gt;mutt&lt;/a&gt; for
-e-mail.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;However, while I am personally aware of the fact that text tools
-are more efficient and powerful than anything else, I also use (or at
-least operate) some tools that are suitable to bring open source to
-kids. One of these things is &lt;a href=&quot;http://jappix.org/&quot;&gt;Jappix&lt;/a&gt;,
-which I already introduced to some kids even before they got aware of
-Facebook, making them see for themselves that they do not need
-Facebook now ;).&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;Well, that&#39;s a two-sided thing. One side is what I believe, and one
-side is what I have experienced.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I believe that the right strategy is showing them the benefits. But
-that won&#39;t work out as long as the acceptance of free alternatives
-grows globally. What I mean is that if all the kids are almost forced
-to use Windows, Facebook, Skype, you name it at home, they will not
-see why they would want to use alternatives at school. I have seen
-students take seat in front of a fully-functional, modern Debian
-desktop that could do anything their Windows at home could do, and
-they jsut refused to use it because &quot;Linux sucks&quot;. It is something
-that makes the council of our city spend around 600000 € to buy
-software - not including hardware, mind you - for operating school
-networks, and for installing a system that, as has been proved, does
-not work. For those of you readers who are good at maths, have you
-already found out how many lives could have been saved with that money
-if we had instead used it to bring education to parts of the world
-that need it? I have, and found it to be nothing less dramatic than
-plain criminal.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;That said, the only feasible way appears to be the bottom up
-method. We have to bring free software to kids and parents. I have
-founded an association named
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.teckids.org&quot;&gt;Teckids&lt;/a&gt; here in Germany that does
-just that. We organise several events for kids and adolescents in the
-area of free and open source software, for example the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://kids.froscon.org&quot;&gt;FrogLabs&lt;/a&gt;, which share staff with
-Teckids and are the youth programme of
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.froscon.org&quot;&gt;the Free and Open Source Software
-Conference (FrOSCon)&lt;/a&gt;. We do a lot more than most other conferences
-- this year, we first offered the FrogLabs as a holiday camp for kids
-aged 10 to 16. It was a huge success, with approx. 30 kids taking part
-and learning with and about free software through a whole weekend. All
-of us had a lot of fun, and the results were really exciting.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Apart from that, we are preparing a campaign that is supposed to bring
-the message of free alternatives to stuff kids use every day to them and
-their parents, e.g. the use of Jabber / Jappix instead of Facebook and
-Skype. To make that possible, we are planning to get together a team of
-clever kids who understand very well what their peers need and can bring
-it across to them. So we will have a peer-driven network of adolescents
-who teach each other and collect feedback from the community of minors.
-We then take that feedback and our own experience to work closely with
-open source projects, such as Skolelinux or Jappix, at improving their
-software in a way that makes it more and more attractive for the target
-group. At least I hope that we will have good cooperation with
-Skolelinux in the future ;)!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So in conclusion, what I believe is that, if it weren&#39;t for the world
-being so bad, it should be very clear to the political decision makers
-that the only way to go nowadays is free software for various reasons,
-but I have learnt that the only way that seems to work is bottom up.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;!--
-
-&gt;  * Who should be interviewed with this questions in the future?
-
-That&#39;s probably the hardest question of them all, as I do not know the
-community. However, I would be willing to do the following:
-
- &lt;li&gt;Run an interview with a German headteacher who is very open to
-   free software, and also prefers it, but cannot really use it because
-   of the decision makers above;
- &lt;li&gt;Run interviews with some kids, both with and without previous
-   knowledge about free software
-
-If that is wanted, just let me know ;).

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Helga 18. og 19. januar 2014 arrangeres
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://makerfaireoslo.no/no/program/dugnadsnett&quot;&gt;Oslo Maker
-Faire&lt;/a&gt;, og &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dugnadsnett.no/&quot;&gt;Dugnadsnett for
-alle&lt;/a&gt; har fått plass!  Planen er å ha et bord med en plakat der vi
-forteller om hva Dugnadsnett for alle er for noe, og et lite verksted
-der vi hjelper folk som er interessert i å få opp sin egen mesh-node.
-Jeg gleder meg til å se hvordan prosjektet blir mottatt der.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Målet med dugnadsnett for alle i Oslo er å få på plass et datanett
-for kommunikasjon ved hjelp av radio-repeaterstasjoner (kalt
-mesh-noder) som gjør at en kan direkte kommunisere med slekt, venner
-og bekjente i Oslo via andre som deltar i dugnadsnettet, samt gjøre
-det mulig komme ut på internett via dugnadsnettet.  Første delmål er å
-kunne sende SMS-meldinger vha. IP-telefoni løsningen
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.servalproject.org/&quot;&gt;Serval project&lt;/a&gt; mellom
-deltagerne i Dugnadsnett for alle i Oslo.  Formålet er å ta tilbake
-kontrollen over egen nett-infrastruktur og gjøre det dyrere å bedrive
-massiv innsamling av informasjon om borgernes bruk av datanett.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Høres dette interessant ut?  Bli med på prosjektet, fortell oss
-hvor du kunne tenke deg å sette opp en radio-repeater (slik at folk i
-nærheten kan finne hverandre ved hjelp av
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://flynor.net/mesh/mesh.php&quot;&gt;kartet over planlagte og
-eksisterende radio-repeatere&lt;/A&gt;), bli med på epostlisten
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/dugnadsnett&quot;&gt;dugnadsnett
-(at) nuug.no&lt;/a&gt; og stikk innom
-&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#dugnadsnett.no&quot;&gt;IRC-kanalen
-#dugnadsnett.no&lt;/a&gt;.  Så langt er det planlagt over 40
-radio-repeatere, med VPN-forbindelser via Internet for å la de delene
-av nettet som ikke når hverandre via radio kunne snakke med hverandre
-likevel.&lt;/p&gt;

+Nordic&lt;/a&gt;, a great conference and workshop for makers in Norway and
+the surrounding countries.  I had volunteered on behalf of the
+Norwegian Unix Users Group (NUUG) to video record the talks, and we
+had a great and exhausting time recording the entire day, two days in
+a row.  There were only two of us, Hans-Petter and me, and we used the

+&lt;a href=&quot;http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/&quot;&gt;dvswitch&lt;/a&gt;, a
+camera and a VGA to DV convert box, and mixed video and slides
+live.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Hans-Petter did the post-processing, consisting of uploading the
+around 180 GiB of raw video to Youtube, and the result is
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/user/MakerConNordic/&quot;&gt;now becoming
+public&lt;/a&gt; on the MakerConNordic account.  The videos have the license

-               <title>Debian Edu interview: Klaus Knopper</title>
-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Klaus_Knopper.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Klaus_Knopper.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Fri, 6 Dec 2013 09:50:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since I managed to publish the last interview,
-but the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
-Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; community is still going strong, and yesterday we even
-had a new school administrator show up on
-&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/#debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu&lt;/a&gt; to share
-his success story with installing Debian Edu at their school.  This
-time I have been able to get some helpful comments from the creator of
-Knoppix, Klaus Knopper, who was involved in a Skolelinux project in
-Germany a few years ago.&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 am Klaus Knopper.  I have a master degree in electrical
-engineering, and is currently professor in information management at
-the university of applied sciences Kaiserslautern / Germany and
-freelance Open Source software developer and consultant.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;All of this is pretty much of the work I spend my days with. Apart
-from teaching, I&#39;m also conducting some more or less experimental
-projects like the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knoppix.org&quot;&gt;Knoppix GNU/Linux live
-system&lt;/a&gt; (Debian-based like Skolelinux),
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-adriane/index-en.html&quot;&gt;ADRIANE&lt;/a&gt;
-(a blind-friendly talking desktop system) and
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knopper.net/linbo/index-en.html&quot;&gt;LINBO&lt;/a&gt;
-(Linux-based network boot console, a fast remote install and repair
-system supporting various operating systems).&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;The credit for this have to go to Kurt Gramlich, who is the German
-coordinator for Skolelinux.  We were looking for an all-in-one open
-source community-supported distribution for schools, and Kurt
-introduced us to Skolelinux for this purpose.&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;ul&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Quick installation,&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;works (almost) out of the box,&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;contains many useful software packages for teaching and learning,&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;is a purely community-based distro and not controlled by a
-    single company,&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;has a large number of supporters and teachers who share their
-    experience and problem solutions.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&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;ul&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Skolelinux is - as we had to learn - not easily upgradable to
-  the next version.  Opposed to its genuine Debian base, upgrading to
-  a new version means a full new installation from scratch to get it
-  working again reliably.
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Skolelinux is based on Debian/stable, and therefore always a
-  little outdated in terms of program versions compared to Edubuntu or
-  similar educational Linux distros, which rather use Debian/testing
-  as their base.
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Skolelinux has some very self-opinionated and stubborn default
-  configuration which in my opinion adds unnecessary complexity and is
-  not always suitable for a schools needs, the preset network
-  configuration is actually a core definition feature of Skolelinux
-  and not easy to change, so schools sometimes have to change their
-  network configuration to make it &quot;Skolelinux-compatible&quot;.
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Some proposed extensions, which were made available as
-  contribution, like secure examination mode and lecture material
-  distribution and collection, were not accepted into the mainline
-  Skolelinux development and are now not easy to maintain in the
-  future because of Skolelinux somewhat undeterministic update
-  schemes.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Skolelinux has only a very tiny number of base developers
-  compared to Debian.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For these reasons and experience from our project, I would now
-rather consider using plain Debian for schools next time, until
-Skolelinux is more closely integrated into Debian and becomes
-upgradeable without reinstallation.&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;GNU/Linux with LXDE desktop, bash for interactive dialog and
-programming, texlive for documentation and correspondence,
-occasionally LibreOffice for document format conversion. Various
-programming languages for teaching.&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;Strong arguments are&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Knowledge is free, and so should be methods and tools for
-    teaching and learning.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Students can learn with and use the same software at school, at
-    home, and at their working place without running into license or
-    conversion problems.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;Closed source or proprietary software hides knowledge rather
-    than exposing it, and proprietary software vendors try to bind
-    customers to certain products.  But teachers need to teach
-    science, not products.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-  &lt;li&gt;If you have everything you for daily work as open source, what
-    would you need proprietary software for?&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/listadmin__the_quick_way_to_moderate_mailman_lists___nice_free_software.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/listadmin__the_quick_way_to_moderate_mailman_lists___nice_free_software.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;If you ever had to moderate a mailman list, like the ones on
+alioth.debian.org, you know the web interface is fairly slow to
+operate.  First you visit one web page, enter the moderation password
+and get a new page shown with a list of all the messages to moderate
+and various options for each email address.  This take a while for
+every list you moderate, and you need to do it regularly to do a good
+job as a list moderator.  But there is a quick alternative,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://heim.ifi.uio.no/kjetilho/hacks/#listadmin&quot;&gt;the
+listadmin program&lt;/a&gt;.  It allow you to check lists for new messages
+to moderate in a fraction of a second.  Here is a test run on two
+lists I recently took over:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+% time listadmin xiph
+fetching data for pkg-xiph-commits@lists.alioth.debian.org ... nothing in queue
+fetching data for pkg-xiph-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org ... nothing in queue
+
+real    0m1.709s
+user    0m0.232s
+sys     0m0.012s
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In 1.7 seconds I had checked two mailing lists and confirmed that
+there are no message in the moderation queue.  Every morning I
+currently moderate 68 mailman lists, and it normally take around two
+minutes.  When I took over the two pkg-xiph lists above a few days
+ago, there were 400 emails waiting in the moderator queue.  It took me
+less than 15 minutes to process them all using the listadmin
+program.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you install
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/listadmin&quot;&gt;the listadmin
+package&lt;/a&gt; from Debian and create a file &lt;tt&gt;~/.listadmin.ini&lt;/tt&gt;
+with content like this, the moderation task is a breeze:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+username username@example.org
+spamlevel 23
+default discard
+discard_if_reason &quot;Posting restricted to members only. Remove us from your mail list.&quot;
+
+password secret
+adminurl https://{domain}/mailman/admindb/{list}
+mailman-list@lists.example.com
+
+password hidden
+other-list@otherserver.example.org
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There are other options to set as well.  Check the manual page to
+learn the details.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you are forced to moderate lists on a mailman installation where
+the SSL certificate is self signed or not properly signed by a
+generally accepted signing authority, you can set a environment
+variable when calling listadmin to disable SSL verification:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0 listadmin
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to moderate a subset of the lists you take care of, you
+can provide an argument to the listadmin script like I do in the
+initial screen dump (the xiph argument).  Using an argument, only
+lists matching the argument string will be processed.  This make it
+quick to accept messages if you notice the moderation request in your
+email.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Without the listadmin program, I would never be the moderator of 68
+mailing lists, as I simply do not have time to spend on that if the
+process was any slower. The listadmin program have saved me hours of
+time I could spend elsewhere over the years.  It truly is nice free
+software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
+activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
+&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&amp;label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2014-10-27: Added missing &#39;username&#39; statement in
+configuration example.  Also, I&#39;ve been told that the
+PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0 setting do not work for everyone.  Not
+sure why.&lt;/p&gt;

-your neighbors and friends using a network controlled by your peers in
-stead of centrally controlled by a few corporations, or would like to
-experiment with interesting network technology, the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dugnadsnett.no/&quot;&gt;Dugnasnett for alle i Oslo&lt;/a&gt;
-might be project for you.  39 mesh nodes are currently being planned,
-in the freshly started initiative from NUUG and Hackeriet to create a
-wireless community network.  The work is inspired by

-and other successful mesh networks around the globe.  Two days ago we
-held a workshop to try to get people started on setting up their own
-mesh node, and there we decided to create a new mailing list
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/dugnadsnett&quot;&gt;dugnadsnett
-(at) nuug.no&lt;/a&gt; and IRC channel

+                <pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2014 14:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;When PXE installing laptops with Debian, I often run into the
+problem that the WiFi card require some firmware to work properly.
+And it has been a pain to fix this using preseeding in Debian.
+Normally something more is needed.  But thanks to
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/i/isenkram.html&quot;&gt;my isenkram
+package&lt;/a&gt; and its recent tasksel extension, it has now become easy
+to do this using simple preseeding.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The isenkram-cli package provide tasksel tasks which will install
+firmware for the hardware found in the machine (actually, requested by
+the kernel modules for the hardware).  (It can also install user space
+programs supporting the hardware detected, but that is not the focus
+of this story.)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To get this working in the default installation, two preeseding
+values are needed.  First, the isenkram-cli package must be installed
+into the target chroot (aka the hard drive) before tasksel is executed
+in the pkgsel step of the debian-installer system.  This is done by
+preseeding the base-installer/includes debconf value to include the
+isenkram-cli package.  The package name is next passed to debootstrap
+for installation.  With the isenkram-cli package in place, tasksel
+will automatically use the isenkram tasks to detect hardware specific
+packages for the machine being installed and install them, because
+isenkram-cli contain tasksel tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Second, one need to enable the non-free APT repository, because
+most firmware unfortunately is non-free.  This is done by preseeding
+the apt-mirror-setup step.  This is unfortunate, but for a lot of
+hardware it is the only option in Debian.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The end result is two lines needed in your preseeding file to get
+firmware installed automatically by the installer:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+base-installer base-installer/includes string isenkram-cli
+apt-mirror-setup apt-setup/non-free boolean true
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The current version of isenkram-cli in testing/jessie will install
+both firmware and user space packages when using this method.  It also
+do not work well, so use version 0.15 or later.  Installing both
+firmware and user space packages might give you a bit more than you
+want, so I decided to split the tasksel task in two, one for firmware
+and one for user space programs.  The firmware task is enabled by
+default, while the one for user space programs is not.  This split is
+implemented in the package currently in unstable.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you decide to give this a go, please let me know (via email) how
+this recipe work for you. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So, I bet you are wondering, how can this work.  First and
+foremost, it work because tasksel is modular, and driven by whatever
+files it find in /usr/lib/tasksel/ and /usr/share/tasksel/.  So the
+isenkram-cli package place two files for tasksel to find.  First there
+is the task description file (/usr/share/tasksel/descs/isenkram.desc):&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+Task: isenkram-packages
+Section: hardware
+Description: Hardware specific packages (autodetected by isenkram)
+ Based on the detected hardware various hardware specific packages are
+ proposed.
+Test-new-install: show show
+Relevance: 8
+Packages: for-current-hardware
+
+Task: isenkram-firmware
+Section: hardware
+Description: Hardware specific firmware packages (autodetected by isenkram)
+ Based on the detected hardware various hardware specific firmware
+ packages are proposed.
+Test-new-install: mark show
+Relevance: 8
+Packages: for-current-hardware-firmware
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The key parts are Test-new-install which indicate how the task
+should be handled and the Packages line referencing to a script in
+/usr/lib/tasksel/packages/.  The scripts use other scripts to get a
+list of packages to install.  The for-current-hardware-firmware script
+look like this to list relevant firmware for the machine:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+#!/bin/sh
+#
+PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH
+export PATH
+isenkram-autoinstall-firmware -l
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;With those two pieces in place, the firmware is installed by
+tasksel during the normal d-i run. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to test what tasksel will install when isenkram-cli is
+installed, run &lt;tt&gt;DEBIAN_PRIORITY=critical tasksel --test
+--new-install&lt;/tt&gt; to get the list of packages that tasksel would
+install.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu&lt;/a&gt; will be
+pilots in testing this feature, as isenkram is used there now to
+install firmware, replacing the earlier scripts.&lt;/p&gt;

-
-&lt;p&gt;Prosjektledelsen har fortalt at dette skal fungere like godt for
-Linux-brukere som for brukere av Microsoft Windows og Apple MacOSX,

-miljøer som bruker MS Exchange har gjort.  Hvis du har slik erfaring
-hadet det vært veldig fint om du kan send et leserbrev til
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uniforum.uio.no/&quot;&gt;Uniforum&lt;/a&gt; og fortelle om hvor
-greit det er å bruke Exchange i kryss-platform-miljøer?  De jeg har
-snakket med sier en greit får lest e-posten sin hvis Exchange har
-slått på IMAP-funksjonalitet, men at kalender og møtebooking ikke
-fungerer godt for Linux-klienter. Jeg har ingen personlig erfaring å
-komme med, så jeg er nysgjerrig på hva andre kan dele av erfaringer
-med universitetet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Mitt ankerpunkt mot å bytte ut fri programvare som fungerer godt
-med godseid programvare er at en mister kontroll over egen
-infrastruktur, låser seg inn i en løsning det vil bli dyrt å komme ut
-av, uten at en får funksjonalitet en ikke kunne skaffet seg med fri
-programvare, eventuelt videreutviklet med de pengene som brukes på
-overgangen til MS Exchange.  Personlig planlegger jeg å fortsette å
-laste ned all eposten min til lokal maskin for indeksering og lesing
-med &lt;a href==&quot;http://notmuchmail.org&quot;&gt;notmuch&lt;/a&gt;, så jeg håper jeg
-ikke blir veldig skadelidende av overgangen.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I came across an unexpected Ubuntu boot screen.  Above the
+bread shelf on the ICA shop at Storo in Oslo, the grub menu of Ubuntu
+with Linux kernel 3.2.0-23 (ie probably version 12.04 LTS) was stuck
+on a screen normally showing the bread types and prizes:&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;After many years break from the package and a vain hope that
-development would be continued by someone else, I finally pulled my
-acts together this morning and wrapped up a new release of chrpath,
-the command line tool to modify the rpath and runpath of already
-compiled ELF programs.  The update was triggered by the persistence of
-Isha Vishnoi at IBM, which needed a new config.guess file to get
-support for the ppc64le architecture (powerpc 64-bit Little Endian) he
-is working on.  I checked the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/chrpath&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;,
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrpath&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt; and

-packages for interesting patches (failed to find the source from
-OpenSUSE and Mandriva packages), and found quite a few nice fixes.

+got a new set of developers a few weeks ago, after the original
+developer decided to step down and pass the project to fresh blood.
+This project is now maintained by Petter Reinholdtsen and Steve
+Dibb.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I just wrapped up
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/message/32896061/&quot;&gt;a
+new lsdvd release&lt;/a&gt;, available in git or from

+download page&lt;/a&gt;.  This is the changelog dated 2014-10-03 for version
+0.17.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;ul&gt;
 
 
 &lt;ul&gt;

+ &lt;li&gt;Ignore &#39;phantom&#39; audio, subtitle tracks&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Check for garbage in the program chains, which indicate that a track is
+   non-existant, to work around additional copy protection&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix displaying content type for audio tracks, subtitles&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix pallete display of first entry&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix include orders&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Ignore read errors in titles that would not be displayed anyway&lt;/li&gt;

+   the palette size is the same.&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Fix array printing.&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Correct subsecond calculations.&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;Add sector information to the output format.&lt;/li&gt;

 &lt;/ul&gt;
 
 
 &lt;/ul&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;You can
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31052&quot;&gt;download the
-new version 0.15 from alioth&lt;/a&gt;.  Please let us know via the Alioth
-project if something is wrong with the new release.  The test suite
-did not discover any old errors, so if you find a new one, please also
-include a testsuite check.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This change bring together patches for lsdvd in use in various
+Linux and Unix distributions, as well as patches submitted to the
+project the last nine years.  Please check it out. :)&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I fjor sommer lagde jeg en
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/SQL_database_med_anbud_publisert_p__Doffin.html&quot;&gt;offentlig
-tilgjengelig SQL-database over offentlig anbud&lt;/a&gt; basert på skraping
-av HTML-data fra Doffin.  Den har stått og gått siden da, og har nå
-ca. 28000 oppføringer.  Jeg oppdaget da jeg tittet innom at noen
-oppføringer var ikke blitt med, antagelig på grunn av at de fikk
-tildelt sekvensnummer i Doffin en godt stund før de ble publisert,
-slik at min nettsideskraper som fortsatte skrapingen der den slapp
-sist ikke fikk dem med seg.  Jeg har fikset litt slik at skraperen nå
-ser litt tilbake i tid for å se om den har gått glipp av noen
-oppføringer, og har skrapet på nytt fra midten av september 2013 og
-fremover.  Det bør dermed bli en mer komplett database for kommende
-måneder.  Hvis jeg får tid skal jeg forsøke å skrape &quot;glemte&quot; data fra
-før midten av september 2013, men tør ikke garantere at det blir
-prioritert med det første. &lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Men målet med denne bloggposten er å vise hvordan denne
-Doffin-databasen kan brukes og integreres med en RSS-leser, slik at en
-kan la datamaskinen holde et øye med Doffin-annonseringer etter
-nøkkelord.  En kan lage sitt eget søk ved å besøke
-&lt;ahref=&quot;https://classic.scraperwiki.com/docs/api?name=norwegian-doffin#sqlite&quot;&gt;API-et
-hos Scraperwiki&lt;/a&gt;, velge format rss2 og så legge inn noe ala dette i
-&quot;query in SQL&quot;:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-select title, scrapedurl as link, abstract as description,
-       publishdate as pubDate from &#39;swdata&#39;
-   where abstract like &#39;%linux%&#39; or title like &#39;%linux%&#39;
-   order by seq desc limit 20
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Dette vil søke opp alle anbud med ordet linux i oppsummering eller
-tittel.  En kan lage mer avanserte søk hvis en ønsker det.  URL-en som
-dukker opp nederst på siden kan en så gi til sin RSS-leser (jeg bruker
-akregator selv), og så automatisk få beskjed hvis det dukker opp anbud
-med det aktuelle nøkkelordet i teksten.  Merk at kapasiteten og
-ytelsen hos Scraperwiki er begrenset, så ikke be RSS-leseren hente ned
-oftere enn en gang hver dag.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Du lurer kanskje på hva slags informasjon en kan få ut fra denne
-databasen.  Her er to RSS-kilder, med søkeordet
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/sqlite?format=rss2&amp;name=norwegian-doffin&amp;query=select%20title%2C%20scrapedurl%20as%20link%2C%20abstract%20as%20description%2C%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20publishdate%20as%20pubDate%20from%20&#39;swdata&#39;%0A%20%20%20where%20abstract%20like%20&#39;%25linux%25&#39;%20or%20title%20like%20&#39;%25linux%25&#39;%0A%20%20%20order%20by%20seq%20desc%20limit%2020&quot;&gt;linux&lt;/a&gt;&quot;,

-Det er bare å søke på det en er interessert i.  Kopier gjerne
-datasettet og sett opp din egen tjeneste hvis du vil gjøre mer
-avanserte søk.  SQLite-filen med Doffin-oppføringer kan lastes med fra

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Drones, flying robots, are getting more and more popular.  The most
-know ones are the killer drones used by some government to murder
-people they do not like without giving them the chance of a fair
-trial, but the technology have many good uses too, from mapping and
-forest maintenance to photography and search and rescue.  I am sure it
-is just a question of time before &quot;bad drones&quot; are in the hands of
-private enterprises and not only state criminals but petty criminals
-too.  The drone technology is very useful and very dangerous.  To have
-some control over the use of drones, I agree with Daniel Suarez in his
-TED talk
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/DanielSuarez_2013G&quot;&gt;The kill
-decision shouldn&#39;t belong to a robot&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, where he suggested this
-little gem to keep the good while limiting the bad use of drones:&lt;/p&gt;
- 
-&lt;blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Each robot and drone should have a cryptographically signed
-I.D. burned in at the factory that can be used to track its movement
-through public spaces. We have license plates on cars, tail numbers on
-aircraft. This is no different. And every citizen should be able to
-download an app that shows the population of drones and autonomous
-vehicles moving through public spaces around them, both right now and
-historically. And civic leaders should deploy sensors and civic drones
-to detect rogue drones, and instead of sending killer drones of their
-own up to shoot them down, they should notify humans to their
-presence. And in certain very high-security areas, perhaps civic
-drones would snare them and drag them off to a bomb disposal facility.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But notice, this is more an immune system than a weapons system. It
-would allow us to avail ourselves of the use of autonomous vehicles
-and drones while still preserving our open, civil society.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The key is that &lt;em&gt;every citizen&lt;/em&gt; should be able to read the
-radio beacons sent from the drones in the area, to be able to check
-both the government and others use of drones.  For such control to be
-effective, everyone must be able to do it.  What should such beacon
-contain?  At least formal owner, purpose, contact information and GPS
-location.  Probably also the origin and target position of the current
-flight.  And perhaps some registration number to be able to look up
-the drone in a central database tracking their movement.  Robots
-should not have privacy.  It is people who need privacy.&lt;/p&gt;

+                <pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2014 12:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project&lt;/a&gt; provide a Linux solution for schools, including a
+powerful desktop with education software, a central server providing
+web pages, user database, user home directories, central login and PXE
+boot of both  clients without disk and the installation to install Debian
+Edu on machines with disk (and a few other services perhaps to small
+to mention here).  We in the Debian Edu team are currently working on
+the Jessie based version, trying to get everything in shape before the
+freeze, to avoid having to maintain our own package repository in the
+future.  The
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Jessie&quot;&gt;current
+status&lt;/a&gt; can be seen on the Debian wiki, and there is still heaps of
+work left.  Some fatal problems block testing, breaking the installer,
+but it is possible to work around these to get anyway.  Here is a
+recipe on how to get the installation limping along.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;First, download the test ISO via
+&lt;a href=&quot;ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso&quot;&gt;ftp&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://ftp.skolelinux.no/cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso&quot;&gt;http&lt;/a&gt;
+or rsync (use
+ftp.skolelinux.org::cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso).
+The ISO build was broken on Tuesday, so we do not get a new ISO every
+12 hours or so, but thankfully the ISO we already got we are able to
+install with some tweaking.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When you get to the Debian Edu profile question, go to tty2
+(use Alt-Ctrl-F2), run&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+nano /usr/bin/edu-eatmydata-install
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;and add &#39;exit 0&#39; as the second line, disabling the eatmydata
+optimization.  Return to the installation, select the profile you want
+and continue.  Without this change, exim4-config will fail to install
+due to a known bug in eatmydata.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When you get the grub question at the end, answer /dev/sda (or if
+this do not work, figure out what your correct value would be.  All my
+test machines need /dev/sda, so I have no advice if it do not fit
+your need.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you installed a profile including a graphical desktop, log in as
+root after the initial boot from hard drive, and install the
+education-desktop-XXX metapackage.  XXX can be kde, gnome, lxde, xfce
+or mate.  If you want several desktop options, install more than one
+metapackage.  Once this is done, reboot and you should have a working
+graphical login screen.  This workaround should no longer be needed
+once the education-tasks package version 1.801 enter testing in two
+days.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I believe the ISO build will start working on two days when the new
+tasksel package enter testing and Steve McIntyre get a chance to
+update the debian-cd git repository.  The eatmydata, grub and desktop
+issues are already fixed in unstable and testing, and should show up
+on the ISO as soon as the ISO build start working again.  Well the
+eatmydata optimization is really just disabled.  The proper fix
+require an upload by the eatmydata maintainer applying the patch
+provided in bug &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/702711&quot;&gt;#702711&lt;/a&gt;.
+The rest have proper fixes in unstable.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I hope this get you going with the installation testing, as we are
+quickly running out of time trying to get our Jessie based
+installation ready before the distribution freeze in a month.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Today NUUG and Hackeriet announced
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/news/Bli_med___bygge_dugnadsnett_for_alle_i_Oslo.shtml&quot;&gt;our
-plans to join forces and create a wireless community network in
-Oslo&lt;/a&gt;.  The workshop to help people get started will take place
-Thursday 2013-11-28, but we already are collecting the geolocation of
-people joining forces to make this happen.  We have
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/meshfx-node/blob/master/oslo-nodes.geojson&quot;&gt;9
-locations plotted on the map&lt;/a&gt;, but we will need more before we have
-a connected mesh spread across Oslo.  If this sound interesting to
-you, please join us at the workshop.  If you are too impatient to wait
-15 days, please join us on the IRC channel
-&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23nuug&quot;&gt;#nuug on irc.freenode.net&lt;/a&gt;
-right away. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/&quot;&gt;lsdvd tool&lt;/a&gt;
+to handle my fairly large DVD collection.  It is a nice command line
+tool to get details about a DVD, like title, tracks, track length,
+etc, in XML, Perl or human readable format.  But lsdvd have not seen
+any new development since 2006 and had a few irritating bugs affecting
+its use with some DVDs.  Upstream seemed to be dead, and in January I
+sent a small probe asking for a version control repository for the
+project, without any reply.  But I use it regularly and would like to
+get &lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/lsdvd&quot;&gt;an updated version
+into Debian&lt;/a&gt;.  So two weeks ago I tried harder to get in touch with
+the project admin, and after getting a reply from him explaining that
+he was no longer interested in the project, I asked if I could take
+over.  And yesterday, I became project admin.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been in touch with a Gentoo developer and the Debian
+maintainer interested in joining forces to maintain the upstream
+project, and I hope we can get a new release out fairly quickly,
+collecting the patches spread around on the internet into on place.
+I&#39;ve added the relevant Debian patches to the freshly created git
+repository, and expect the Gentoo patches to make it too.  If you got
+a DVD collection and care about command line tools, check out
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/git/ci/master/tree/&quot;&gt;the git source&lt;/a&gt; and join
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/&quot;&gt;the project mailing
+list&lt;/a&gt;. :)&lt;/p&gt;
