- <div class="date">22nd February 2014</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Many years ago, I wrote a GPL licensed version of the netgroup and
-innetgr tools, because I needed them in
-<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>. I called the project
-ng-utils, and it has served me well. I placed the project under the
-<a href="http://www.hungry.com/">Hungry Programmer</a> umbrella, and it was maintained in our CVS
-repository. But many years ago, the CVS repository was dropped (lost,
-not migrated to new hardware, not sure), and the project have lacked a
-proper home since then.</p>
-
-<p>Last summer, I had a look at the package and made a new release
-fixing a irritating crash bug, but was unable to store the changes in
-a proper source control system. I applied for a project on
-<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/">Alioth</a>, but did not have time
-to follow up on it. Until today. :)</p>
-
-<p>After many hours of cleaning and migration, the ng-utils project
-now have a new home, and a git repository with the highlight of the
-history of the project. I published all release tarballs and imported
-them into the git repository. As the project is really stable and not
-expected to gain new features any time soon, I decided to make a new
-release and call it 1.0. Visit the new project home on
-<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/">https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/</a>
-if you want to check it out. The new version is also uploaded into
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/ng-utils.html">Debian Unstable</a>.</p>

+spearheaded by Marius Halden from NUUG and Matthew Somerville from
+MySociety, finally managed to upgrade the code base for the Norwegian
+version of <a href="http://fixmystreet.org/">FixMyStreet</a>. This
+
+was the first major update since 2011. The refurbished

+seem to hold up the pressure. The
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/news/Pressemelding__FiksGataMi_i_oppdatert_og_mobilvennlig_klesdrakt.shtml">press
+release and announcement</a> went out this morning.</p>
+
+<p>FixMyStreet is a web platform for allowing the citizens to easily
+report problems with public infrastructure to the responsible
+authorities. Think of it as a shared mail client with map support,
+allowing everyone to see what already was reported and comment on the

- <div class="date"> 3rd February 2014</div>
- <div class="body"><p>A few days ago I decided to try to help the Hurd people to get
-their changes into sysvinit, to allow them to use the normal sysvinit
-boot system instead of their old one. This follow up on the
-<a href="https://teythoon.cryptobitch.de//categories/gsoc.html">great
-Google Summer of Code work</a> done last summer by Justus Winter to
-get Debian on Hurd working more like Debian on Linux. To get started,
-I downloaded a prebuilt hard disk image from
-<a href="http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz">http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz</a>,
-and started it using virt-manager.</p>
-
-<p>The first think I had to do after logging in (root without any
-password) was to get the network operational. I followed
-<a href="https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install">the
-instructions on the Debian GNU/Hurd ports page</a> and ran these
-commands as root to get the machine to accept a IP address from the
-kvm internal DHCP server:</p>

+ <div class="date">21st December 2014</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>Bruken av samtykkeerklæring i forbindelse med Lær kidsa koding
+(LKK),
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Klarer_ikke_Microsoft___holde_p__hemmeligheter_.html">som
+jeg omtalte for noen dager siden</a>, var så overraskende at jeg tok
+kontakt med de som koordinerer LKK koding sentralt for å høre hvor
+ofte foreldre har blitt bedt om a signere på samtykkeerklæringer i
+forbindelse med LKK, og om jeg kunne få kopi av de som var brukt i
+fjor og i år.</p>
+
+<p>Simen Sommerfeldt svarte og fortalte at LKK koding sentralt ikke
+hadde hørt om bruk av samtykkeerklæringer i sammenheng med LKK før
+saken kom opp i Aftenposten, og at dette dermed var en helt ny
+problemstilling som de ikke hadde noen rutiner og regler for. Slike
+oppslag og protester var ikke en situasjon de ønsket å komme opp i
+igjen, så de planlegger å lage en policy rundt dette som gjør at det
+ikke gjentar seg. Han fortalte videre at de har bedt
+Microsoft-folkene formulere et forslag til policy-tekst som ikke kan
+misforstås nå som Microsoft har erfart hvor galt det kan gå.</p>
+
+<p>Han fortalte også at Christine Korme hos Microsoft hadde
+forfattet følgende tekst som hun ba om ble sendt til alle som spør:</p>
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-settrans -fgap /dev/netdde /hurd/netdde
-kill $(ps -ef|awk '/[p]finet/ { print $2}')
-kill $(ps -ef|awk '/[d]evnode/ { print $2}')
-dhclient /dev/eth0
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>After this, the machine had internet connectivity, and I could
-upgrade it and install the sysvinit packages from experimental and
-enable it as the default boot system in Hurd.</p>
-
-<p>But before I did that, I set a password on the root user, as ssh is
-running on the machine it for ssh login to work a password need to be
-set. Also, note that a bug somewhere in openssh on Hurd block
-compression from working. Remember to turn that off on the client
-side.</p>
-
-<p>Run these commands as root to upgrade and test the new sysvinit
-stuff:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list <<EOF
-deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental main
-EOF
-apt-get update
-apt-get dist-upgrade
-apt-get install -t experimental initscripts sysv-rc sysvinit \
- sysvinit-core sysvinit-utils
-update-alternatives --config runsystem
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>To reboot after switching boot system, you have to use
-<tt>reboot-hurd</tt> instead of just <tt>reboot</tt>, as there is not
-yet a sysvinit process able to receive the signals from the normal
-'reboot' command. After switching to sysvinit as the boot system,
-upgrading every package and rebooting, the network come up with DHCP
-after boot as it should, and the settrans/pkill hack mentioned at the
-start is no longer needed. But for some strange reason, there are no
-longer any login prompt in the virtual console, so I logged in using
-ssh instead.
-
-<p>Note that there are some race conditions in Hurd making the boot
-fail some times. No idea what the cause is, but hope the Hurd porters
-figure it out. At least Justus said on IRC (#debian-hurd on
-irc.debian.org) that they are aware of the problem. A way to reduce
-the impact is to upgrade to the Hurd packages built by Justus by
-adding this repository to the machine:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hurd-ci.list <<EOF
-deb http://darnassus.sceen.net/~teythoon/hurd-ci/ sid main
-EOF
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>At the moment the prebuilt virtual machine get some packages from
-http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian, because some of the packages in
-unstable do not yet include the required patches that are lingering in
-BTS. This is the completely list of "unofficial" packages installed:</p>
+<p><blockquote>
+<p>«Først og fremst; vi beklager på det sterkeste at en feil hos oss
+ har ført til et slikt oppslag. I Microsoft Norge støtter vi LKK med
+ hjerte og sjel og ønsker på ingen må at det skal stilles spørsmål
+ ved det fantastiske arbeidet som gjøres av LKK! Jeg beklager dette
+ på det sterkeste og ber om å få lov til å forklare.</p>
+
+<p>Microsoft var til stede i 5. klasse på Ruseløkka skole for å kjøre
+ en kodetime. Vi hadde med et TV-team fra TV2 God Morgen Norge og et
+ TV-team fra Microsoft. Foresatte ble bedt om å gi et skriftlig
+ samtykke for at opptak og bilder av barna kunne brukes. Microsoft
+ bruker ikke bilder eller opptak av barn uten at et skriftlig
+ samtykke gis av foresatte. Alle barna i klassen skulle delta i
+ kodetimen helt uavhengig av om det var gitt samtykke for filming
+ eller ikke. Barn som ikke skulle filmes ble plassert bakerst i
+ klassen slik at de ikke kom med på bilder. Men alle elever var med
+ og alle fikk hjelp av oss - selvfølgelig. Jeg var selv til stede og
+ tror jeg på vegne av alle kan si; dette var gøy! Det medfører altså
+ ikke på noen som helst måte riktighet at noen elever ble ekskludert
+ dersom deres foresatte ikke hadde skrevet under en
+ samtykkeerklæring. Klassen på Ruseløkka var det eneste stedet det
+ var med et Microsoft TV-team i løpet av kodeuken.</p>
+
+<p>I går ettermiddag ble jeg ringt opp av en journalist fra
+ Aftenposten om saken. Foreldre hadde reagert på
+ samtykkeerklæringen. Hverken lærer for femteklassen, rektor eller
+ jeg hadde hørt fra noen foreldre før Aftenposten ringte onsdag
+ ettermiddag.</p>
+
+<p>I Microsoft har vi kommet i skade for å bruke et standard formular
+ som samtykkeerklæring. Dette er ikke dekkende for Microsofts bruk av
+ denne filmen. Det beklager jeg sterkt. En ny samtykkeerklæring er i
+ dag sendt til skolen. Denne samtykkeerklæringen mener vi klargjør
+ bruken av opptakene.</p>
+
+<p>Det har aldri vært vår hensikt å bruke opptakene i kommersiell
+ sammenheng. Filmen på 2-3 minutter lages for å vise hva Microsoft i
+ de nordiske landene bidro med under kodeuken. Filmen vil bli vist
+ internt i Microsoft og eksternt i forbindelse med arrangementer og
+ diskusjoner som handler om undervisning i koding og informatikk.
+ Filmen vil også være tilgjengelig på en Microsoft nettside som
+ handler om koding og undervisning av elever. I skrivende stund er
+ ingen bilder eller opptak brukt eller lagt ut noe sted. Disse vil
+ heller ikke bli brukt uten at foresatte til barn som medvirker har
+ skrevet under en ny samtykkeerklæring som understreker at bruken
+ ikke er kommersiell.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg håper dette oppklarende og igjen beklager jeg på det sterkeste
+ at dette har inntruffet.</p>
+
+<p>Microsoft Norge hjalp om lag 600 elever med å kode i kodeuken og
+ dette var en dugnad våre ansatte satte svært stor pris på å få
+ anledning til å støtte! Jeg håper ikke den uheldige delen av saken
+ overskygger det som hele tiden har vært det aller, aller viktigste
+ for oss: å lære kidsa å kode.»</p>

-<p>All in all, testing hurd has been an interesting experience. :)
-X.org did not work out of the box and I never took the time to follow
-the porters instructions to fix it. This time I was interested in the
-command line stuff.<p>
+<p>Det betyr altså at vanligvis pleier Microsoft å be folk som sier ja
+til å bli filmet om å holde på hemmelighetene til Microsoft, samt be
+om lov til å bruke filmene kommersielt over hele verden i all fremtid,
+men at de egentlig ikke hadde tenkt på om det var så lurt å gjøre det
+samme med skoleelever i offentlig norsk skole. Og skolen tenkte
+tydeligvis heller ikke så mye på problemstillingen da de lot Microsoft
+dele ut forslaget til samtykkeerklæring til foreldrene. Altså svikt i
+flere ledd, men alle hadde gode intensjoner og ønsker å støtte et godt
+tiltak.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg lurer på hvilke konsekvensen denne svikten får i skolenorge.
+Blir det gjort bedre vurderinger i neste skole når noen vil filme?
+Det høres i hvert fall ut som om Lær kidsa kode skal gjøre sitt, og
+fortsatt sørge for at alle som ønsker det får lære å programmere, uten
+å måtte akseptere urimelige vilkår.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg har spurt Microsoft og skolen om kopi av opprinnelig og ny
+samtykkeerklæring, men ikke fått svar ennå. Er spent på om det var
+mer interessant i det opprinnelige, og hva som er endret i den nye.</p>

- <div class="date">29th January 2014</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Bitcoin is a incredible use of peer to peer communication and
-encryption, allowing direct and immediate money transfer without any
-central control. It is sometimes claimed to be ideal for illegal
-activity, which I believe is quite a long way from the truth. At least
-I would not conduct illegal money transfers using a system where the
-details of every transaction are kept forever. This point is
-investigated in
-<a href="https://www.usenix.org/publications/login">USENIX ;login:</a>
-from December 2013, in the article
-"<a href="https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/03_meiklejohn-online.pdf">A
-Fistful of Bitcoins - Characterizing Payments Among Men with No
-Names</a>" by Sarah Meiklejohn, Marjori Pomarole,Grant Jordan, Kirill
-Levchenko, Damon McCoy, Geoffrey M. Voelker, and Stefan Savage. They
-analyse the transaction log in the Bitcoin system, using it to find
-addresses belong to individuals and organisations and follow the flow
-of money from both Bitcoin theft and trades on Silk Road to where the
-money end up. This is how they wrap up their article:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-<p>"To demonstrate the usefulness of this type of analysis, we turned
-our attention to criminal activity. In the Bitcoin economy, criminal
-activity can appear in a number of forms, such as dealing drugs on
-Silk Road or simply stealing someone else’s bitcoins. We followed the
-flow of bitcoins out of Silk Road (in particular, from one notorious
-address) and from a number of highly publicized thefts to see whether
-we could track the bitcoins to known services. Although some of the
-thieves attempted to use sophisticated mixing techniques (or possibly
-mix services) to obscure the flow of bitcoins, for the most part
-tracking the bitcoins was quite straightforward, and we ultimately saw
-large quantities of bitcoins flow to a variety of exchanges directly
-from the point of theft (or the withdrawal from Silk Road).</p>
-
-<p>As acknowledged above, following stolen bitcoins to the point at
-which they are deposited into an exchange does not in itself identify
-the thief; however, it does enable further de-anonymization in the
-case in which certain agencies can determine (through, for example,
-subpoena power) the real-world owner of the account into which the
-stolen bitcoins were deposited. Because such exchanges seem to serve
-as chokepoints into and out of the Bitcoin economy (i.e., there are
-few alternative ways to cash out), we conclude that using Bitcoin for
-money laundering or other illicit purposes does not (at least at
-present) seem to be particularly attractive."</p>
-</blockquote><p>
-
-<p>These researches are not the first to analyse the Bitcoin
-transaction log. The 2011 paper
-"<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524">An Analysis of Anonymity in
-the Bitcoin System</A>" by Fergal Reid and Martin Harrigan is
-summarized like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-"Anonymity in Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic currency system, is a
-complicated issue. Within the system, users are identified by
-public-keys only. An attacker wishing to de-anonymize its users will
-attempt to construct the one-to-many mapping between users and
-public-keys and associate information external to the system with the
-users. Bitcoin tries to prevent this attack by storing the mapping of
-a user to his or her public-keys on that user's node only and by
-allowing each user to generate as many public-keys as required. In
-this chapter we consider the topological structure of two networks
-derived from Bitcoin's public transaction history. We show that the
-two networks have a non-trivial topological structure, provide
-complementary views of the Bitcoin system and have implications for
-anonymity. We combine these structures with external information and
-techniques such as context discovery and flow analysis to investigate
-an alleged theft of Bitcoins, which, at the time of the theft, had a
-market value of approximately half a million U.S. dollars."
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>I hope these references can help kill the urban myth that Bitcoin
-is anonymous. It isn't really a good fit for illegal activites. Use
-cash if you need to stay anonymous, at least until regular DNA
-sampling of notes and coins become the norm. :)</p>

+hemmelighetene sine?</p>
+
+<p>I dag kom det en fascinerende artikkel i Aftenposten om
+<a href="http://www.osloby.no/nyheter/Microsoft-ba-om-a-fa-bruke-bilder-og-video-av-barna-dine-7831036.html">hva
+Microsoft har foreslått at foreldre går med på</a> for å la ungene
+delta på <a href="http://www.kidsakoder.no/">Lær kidsa koding</a> på
+skolen. De ber foreldrene om å få bruke bilder og video av ungene
+kommersielt og gratis i all fremtid, hvilket var så drøyt at
+Arbeiderpartiets bystyrerepresentant
+<a href="https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_Anders_Langerød">Per Anders
+Torvik Langerød</a> tok opp saken opp under bystyrets muntlige
+spørretime onsdag. Resultatet av dette er at Microsoft har trukket
+tilbake teksten i samtykkeerklæringen og kommunikasjonsdirektør
+Christine Korme i Microsoft sier i artikkelen at «Vi vil presentere en
+ny erklæring som gjør det helt klart i hvilken forbindelse materialet
+skal brukes, altså ikke-kommersielt», hvilket jo er fint. Jeg lurer
+virkelig på hvordan teksten kunne slippe ut til foreldrene i første
+omgang. Her har noen på skolen ikke fulgt med i timen, eller mangler
+grunnleggende personverntrening.</p>
+
+<p>Men bildet av samtykkeerklæringen inneholder også en annen
+problematisk klausul, som ikke omtales overhodet i
+Aftenposten-artikkelen. Neste punkt i erklæringen lyder:</p>

+<p>Mener Microsoft virkelig at foreldre og barn skal ta ansvar for at
+Microsoft ikke klarer å holde hemmelig og fortrolig informasjon for
+seg selv når de besøker en offentlig norsk skole? Jeg ville nektet
+plent å signert på en avtale med en slik klausul, da det er Microsofts
+ansvar å holde på sine hemmeligheter, og ikke noe mine barn og min
+familie tar på oss erstatningsansvar for hvis de kommer på avveie.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg lurer på om noen har fått se den nye samtykkeerklæringen?
+Inneholder den fortsatt klausul om hemmelighold? Hvor mange er det
+som hittil har signert på den gamle samtykkeerklæringen? Hvor har den
+vært brukt? Savnet svar på disse spørsmålene i artikkelen, da de som
+har signert på den gamle vel vil være bundet av den selv om ingen
+flere signerer på den.</p>
+
+<p>Lær kidsa koding er et glimrende initiativ, og jeg skulle ønske
+noen av <a href="http://www.nuug.no/">foreningen NUUGs</a> medlemmer
+hadde kapasitet til å delta i initiativet på NUUGs vegne. Selv tar
+jobb, familie og eksisterende prosjekter allerede all tid. Slik
+Microsoft tydeligvis holder på er det behov for noen med et annet syn

- <div class="date">25th December 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-project</a> 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 <a href="https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/Natureshadow">Dominik
-George</a>.</p>
-
-<!-- http://www.dominik-george.de/images/foto.jpg -->
-
-<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I am a 23 year-old student from Germany who has spent half of his
-life with open source. In "real life", 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.</p>
-
-<p>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's informational education concept from
-scratch.</p>
-
-<p>That said, one might see me as a kind of "glue" between school kids
-and the elderly of teachers as well as between the open source
-ecosystem and the (even more complex) educational ecosystem.</p>
-
-<p>When I am not busy with open source or education, I like Geocaching
-and cycling.</p>
-
-<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
-project?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I think that happened some time around 2009 when I first attended
-<a href="http://www.froscon.org">FrOSCon</a> and visited the project
-booth. I think I wasn'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
-"out-of-the-box" solution ;).</p>
-
-<p>The first time I actively talked to Skolelinux people was at
-<a href="http://www.openrheinruhr.de">OpenRheinRuhr</a> 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't any real feedback and the guys
-seemed rather uninterested.</p>
-
-<p>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 ;)!</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>The most important advantage seems to be that it "just
-works". 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'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's enough to say
-that it rocks!</p>
-
-<p>Secondly, there are marketing reasons. Life's bad, and so no
-politician will ever permit a setup described as "Debian, an universal
-operating system, with some really cool educational tools" while they
-will be jsut fine with "Skolelinux, a single-purpose solution for your
-school network", 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).</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>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: "What do you expect from Skolelinux to keep liking it?" I
-can list a few points about that:</p>
+ <div class="title"><a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Opphavsretts_status_for__Empty_Socks__fra_1927_.html">Opphavsretts-status for «Empty Socks» fra 1927?</a></div>
+ <div class="date">12th December 2014</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>For noen dager siden
+<a href="http://www.nb.no/Hva-skjer/Aktuelt/Nyheter/Tapt-filmskatt-fra-Disney-funnet-i-Nasjonalbiblioteket">annonserte
+Nasjonalbiblioteket gladnyheten</a> om at de i sine arkiver hadde
+funnet et nitratfilm-eksemplar av en 87 år gammel Disney-film ved navn
+Empty Socks, en film som tidligere var antatt tapt og der det i følge
+nyhetsmeldinger var kun ca. 25 sekunder bevart for ettertiden.
+Nasjonalbiblioteket hadde 5 minutter og 30 sekunder av filmen i sitt
+magasin. Dette er flott for bevaringen av verdens kulturarv. 5,5
+minutter mindre tapt enn vi trodde av vår felles historie.</p>
+
+<p>Men hvordan kunne filmen gå tapt, når arkivlovene i USA krevde at
+publiserte filmer på den tiden ble deponert i bibliotek? Forklaringen
+har jeg fra Lawrence Lessig og boken
+<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a>, som jeg holder på
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">å
+oversette til norsk</a>:</p>
-<ul>
+<p><blockquote>
+<p>Dette er delvis på grunn av loven. Opphavsrettseiere var tidlig i
+ amerikansk opphavsrettslov nødt til å deponere kopier av sine verk i
+ biblioteker. Disse kopiene skulle både sikre spredning av kunnskap,
+ og sikre at det fantes en kopi av verket tilgjengelig når vernetiden
+ utløp, slik at andre kunne få tilgang til og kopiere verket.</p>
+
+<p>Disse reglene gjaldt også for filmer. Men i 1915 gjorde
+ kongressbiblioteket et unntak for film. Filmer kunne bli
+ opphavsrettsbeskyttet så lenge det ble gjort slik deponering. Men
+ filmskaperne fikk så lov til å låne tilbake de deponerte filmene -
+ så lenge de ville uten noe kostnad. Bare i 1915 var det mer enn 5475
+ filmer deponert og “lånt tilbake”. Dermed var det ikke noe eksemplar
+ i noe bibliotek når vernetiden til filmen utløp. Eksemplaret
+ eksisterer - hvis den finnes i det hele tatt - i arkivbiblioteket
+ til filmselskapet.</p>
+</blockquote></p>
- <li>always strive to get all things integrated into Debian upstream
- <li>be open to discussion about changes and the like, even with newcomers
- <li>be helpful at being helpful ;)
+<p>Nyheten gjorde meg nysgjerrig på om filmen kunne være falt i det
+fri. En 87 år gammel film kunne jo tenkes å ha blitt en del av
+allemannseiet, slik at vi alle kan bruke den til å bygge videre på vår
+felles kultur uten å måtte be om tillatelse - slik Walt Disney gjorde
+det i starten av sin karriere. Jeg spurte nasjonalbiblioteket, og de
+sa nei. Hvordan kan det ha seg med en så gammel film? Jeg besteme
+meg for å undersøke nærmere. En kan finne informasjon om den norske
+vernetiden på
+<a href="https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1961-05-12-2">Lovdata</a>
+og </a>Wikipedia</A>. Her er et relevant <a
+href="https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opphavsrett#Vernetid">utsnitt fra
+siden om opphavsrett i den norske Wikipedia</a>:</p>
-</ul>
+<p><blockquote>
+ Ifølge åndsverkloven §§ 40-41 utløper vernetiden for et åndsverk 70
+ år etter utløpet av opphavspersonens dødsår. [...] For filmverk
+ gjelder særlige regler: Her kommer ikke alle mulige opphavspersoner
+ i betraktning, men kun hovedregissøren, manusforfatteren,
+ dialogforfatteren og komponisten av filmmusikken. Vernetiden
+ begynner å løpe etter utgangen av dødsåret til den lengstlevende av
+ disse. [...] Der opphavspersonen er ukjent, utløper opphavsretten 70
+ år etter første kjente offentliggjørelse av verket. Det er kun de
+ økonomiske rettighetene som faller bort i det vernetiden er
+ utløpt. De ideelle rettighetene må fortsatt respekteres, noe som
+ blant annet innebærer at man plikter å navngi opphavspersonen ved
+ tilgjengeliggjøring.
+</blockquote></p>
-<p>I'm really sorry I cannot say much more about that :(!</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p>I run Debian GNU/Linux on all PC systems I use. On that, I mostly
-run text tools. I use
-<a href="https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm">mksh</a> as shell,
-<a href="https://www.mirbsd.org/jupp.htm">jupp</a> 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),
-<a href="http://mcabber.com/">mcabber</a> for XMPP and
-<a href="http://www.irssi.org/">irssi</a> for IRC. For that overly
-coloured world called the WWW, I use
-<a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/">Iceweasel
-(Firefox)</a>. Oh, and <a href="http://www.mutt.org/">mutt</a> for
-e-mail.</p>
-
-<p>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 <a href="http://jappix.org/">Jappix</a>,
-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 ;).</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Well, that's a two-sided thing. One side is what I believe, and one
-side is what I have experienced.</p>
-
-<p>I believe that the right strategy is showing them the benefits. But
-that won'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 "Linux sucks". 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.</p>
-
-<p>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
-<a href="https://www.teckids.org">Teckids</a> 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
-<a href="http://kids.froscon.org">FrogLabs</a>, which share staff with
-Teckids and are the youth programme of
-<a href="http://www.froscon.org">the Free and Open Source Software
-Conference (FrOSCon)</a>. 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.</p>
-
-<p>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 ;)!</p>
-
-<p>So in conclusion, what I believe is that, if it weren'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.</p>
-
-<!--
-
-> * Who should be interviewed with this questions in the future?
-
-That's probably the hardest question of them all, as I do not know the
-community. However, I would be willing to do the following:
-
- <li>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;
- <li>Run interviews with some kids, both with and without previous
- knowledge about free software
-
-If that is wanted, just let me know ;).

+
+<p>Alle fødsels- og dødsdatoene er fra engelske Wikipedia. Det er
+ikke oppgitt navn på manusforfatter, dialogforfatter og komponist, men
+jeg mistenker at tegnerne vil få opphavsrettigheter på tegnefilmer her
+i Norge, og tar derfor med disse. Kameramannen vil ikke få noen
+rettigheter så vidt jeg forstår, og er derfor ignorert her.</p>
+
+<p>Slik jeg forstår den norske opphavsretten vil dermed dette
+filmverket bli allemannseie (også kalt å falle i det fri) i 2053, 126
+år etter at det ble utgitt. Hvis kun regissørens rettigheter er
+relevante, vil det skje i 2037, 110 år etter at det ble utgitt. Etter
+det vil enhver kunne dele det med alle de har lyst til, fremføre det
+offentlig eller klippe og lime i det for å lage sin egen film basert
+på det - helt uten å måtte spørre noen om lov.</p>
+
+<p>Måtte så Nasjonalbiblioteket spørre om lov før de kunne kopiere
+sitt nitrat-eksemplar over på mer varig format? Nei, heldigvis.
+Åndsverklovens § 16 sier at arkiv, bibliotek, museer og undervisnings-

-Jeg gleder meg til å se hvordan prosjektet blir mottatt der.</p>
-
-<p>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

-kunne sende SMS-meldinger vha. IP-telefoni løsningen
-<a href="http://www.servalproject.org/">Serval project</a> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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

+ <div class="date">22nd November 2014</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>By now, it is well known that Debian Jessie will not be using
+sysvinit as its boot system by default. But how can one keep using
+sysvinit in Jessie? It is fairly easy, and here are a few recipes,
+courtesy of
+<a href="http://www.vitavonni.de/blog/201410/2014102101-avoiding-systemd.html">Erich
+Schubert</a> and
+<a href="http://smcv.pseudorandom.co.uk/2014/still_universal/">Simon
+McVittie</a>.
+
+<p>If you already are using Wheezy and want to upgrade to Jessie and
+keep sysvinit as your boot system, create a file
+<tt>/etc/apt/preferences.d/use-sysvinit</tt> with this content before
+you upgrade:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+Package: systemd-sysv
+Pin: release o=Debian
+Pin-Priority: -1
+</pre></blockquote><p>
+
+<p>This file content will tell apt and aptitude to not consider
+installing systemd-sysv as part of any installation and upgrade
+solution when resolving dependencies, and thus tell it to avoid
+systemd as a default boot system. The end result should be that the
+upgraded system keep using sysvinit.</p>
+
+<p>If you are installing Jessie for the first time, there is no way to
+get sysvinit installed by default (debootstrap used by
+debian-installer have no option for this), but one can tell the
+installer to switch to sysvinit before the first boot. Either by
+using a kernel argument to the installer, or by adding a line to the
+preseed file used. First, the kernel command line argument:
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+preseed/late_command="in-target apt-get install --purge -y sysvinit-core"
+</pre></blockquote><p>
+
+<p>Next, the line to use in a preseed file:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+d-i preseed/late_command string in-target apt-get install -y sysvinit-core
+</pre></blockquote><p>
+
+<p>One can of course also do this after the first boot by installing
+the sysvinit-core package.</p>
+
+<p>I recommend only using sysvinit if you really need it, as the
+sysvinit boot sequence in Debian have several hardware specific bugs
+on Linux caused by the fact that it is unpredictable when hardware
+devices show up during boot. But on the other hand, the new default
+boot system still have a few rough edges I hope will be fixed before
+Jessie is released.</p>

- <div class="body"><p>It has been a while since I managed to publish the last interview,
-but the <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu /
-Skolelinux</a> community is still going strong, and yesterday we even
-had a new school administrator show up on
-<a href="irc://irc.debian.org/#debian-edu">#debian-edu</a> 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.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-

+ <div class="date">16th November 2014</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>For en stund tilbake spurte jeg Fornyingsdepartementet om hvilke
+juridiske vurderinger rundt patentproblemstillingen som var gjort da
+H.264 ble tatt inn i <a href="http://standard.difi.no/">statens
+referansekatalog over standarder</a>. 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
+<a href="http://wiki.nuug.no/uttalelser/200901-standardkatalog-v2?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=kongelig-resolusjon.pdf">PDF-utgaven av</a>
+datert 2009-06-03 (saksnummer 200803291, saksbehandler Henrik
+Linnestad).</p>
+
+<p>Der står det følgende om problemstillingen:</p>
-<ul>
- <li>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.
-
- <li>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.
-
- <li>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 "Skolelinux-compatible".
-
- <li>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.</li>
-
- <li>Skolelinux has only a very tiny number of base developers
- compared to Debian.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
-
-<p>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.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Strong arguments are</p>
-
-<ul>
-
- <li>Knowledge is free, and so should be methods and tools for
- teaching and learning.</li>
-
- <li>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.</li>
-
- <li>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.</li>
+<p><blockquote>
+<strong>4.4 Patentproblematikk</strong>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Spesielt for utvikling av fri programvare er patenter
+problematisk. GPL, en "grunnleggende" 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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
- <li>If you have everything you for daily work as open source, what
- would you need proprietary software for?</li>
+</blockquote></p>
-</ul>
+<p>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.</p>

+ <div class="date">10th November 2014</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2014-October/006493.html">proposed
+this on the FreedomBox project mailing list in October</a> 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
+<a href="https://github.com/pagekite/Mailpile/wiki/SMTorP">the
+Mailpile</a> and <a href="http://dee.su/cables">the Cables</a> systems
+propose a similar method / protocol to pass emails between users.</p>
+
+<p>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
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/exim4-smtorp">the
+source code for the Debian package</a> is available from github. I
+plan to move it into Debian if further testing prove this to be a
+useful approach.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to test this, set up a blank Debian machine without any
+mail system installed (or run <tt>apt-get purge exim4-config</tt> to
+get rid of exim4). Install tor, clone the git repository mentioned
+above, build the deb and install it on the machine. Next, run
+<tt>/usr/lib/exim4-smtorp/setup-exim-hidden-service</tt> 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:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+torsocks swaks --server dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion \
+ --to fbx@dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+<p>This will test the SMTP delivery using tor. Replace the email
+address with your own address to test your server. :)</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>Until I wipe my test machine, I can be reached using the
+<tt>fbx@dutlqrrmjhtfa3vp.onion</tt> mail address, deliverable over
+SMTorP. :)</p>

+
+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.

-<p>Prosjektledelsen har fortalt at dette skal fungere like godt for
-Linux-brukere som for brukere av Microsoft Windows og Apple MacOSX,
-men jeg lurer på hva slags erfaringer Linux-brukere i eksisterende
-miljøer som bruker MS Exchange har gjort. Hvis du har slik erfaring
-hadet det vært veldig fint om du kan send et leserbrev til
-<a href="http://www.uniforum.uio.no/">Uniforum</a> 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.</p>
-
-<p>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 <a href=="http://notmuchmail.org">notmuch</a>, så jeg håper jeg
-ikke blir veldig skadelidende av overgangen.</p>

- <div class="date">24th November 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>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
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/chrpath">Debian</a>,
-<a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrpath">Ubuntu</a> and
-<a href="https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/chrpath">Fedora</a>
-packages for interesting patches (failed to find the source from
-OpenSUSE and Mandriva packages), and found quite a few nice fixes.
-These are the release notes:</p>
-
-<p>New in 0.15 released 2013-11-24:</p>
-
-<ul>
-
- <li>Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project to work
- with newer architectures. Thanks to isha vishnoi for the heads
- up.</li>
-
- <li>Updated README with current URLs.</li>
-
- <li>Added byteswap fix found in Ubuntu, credited Jeremy Kerr and
- Matthias Klose.</li>
-
- <li>Added missing help for -k|--keepgoing option, using patch by
- Petr Machata found in Fedora.</li>
-
- <li>Rewrite removal of RPATH/RUNPATH to make sure the entry in
- .dynamic is a NULL terminated string. Based on patch found in
- Fedora credited Axel Thimm and Christian Krause.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>You can
-<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31052">download the
-new version 0.15 from alioth</a>. 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.</p>

+ <div class="date">23rd October 2014</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>I spent last weekend at <a href="http://www.makercon.no/">Makercon
+Nordic</a>, 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
+regular video equipment for NUUG, with a
+<a href="http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/">dvswitch</a>, a
+camera and a VGA to DV convert box, and mixed video and slides
+live.</p>
+
+<p>Hans-Petter did the post-processing, consisting of uploading the
+around 180 GiB of raw video to Youtube, and the result is
+<a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MakerConNordic/">now becoming
+public</a> on the MakerConNordic account. The videos have the license
+NUUG always use on our recordings, which is
+<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/no/">Creative
+Commons Navngivelse-Del på samme vilkår 3.0 Norge</a>. Many great
+talks available. Check it out! :)</p>
