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

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

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a few busy weeks for me, but I am finally back to
+publish another interview with the people behind
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;.
+This time it is one of our German developers, who have helped out over the
+years to make sure both a lot of major but also a lot of the minor
+details get right before release.
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My name is Jürgen Leibner, I&#39;m 49 years old and living in
+Bielefeld, a town in northern Germany.  I worked nearly 20 years as
+certified engineer in the department for plant design and layout of an
+international company for machinery and equipment.  Since 2011 I&#39;m a
+certified technical writer (tekom e.V.) and doing technical
+documentations for a steam turbine manufacturer.  From April this year
+I will manage the department of technical documentation at a
+manufacturer of automation and assembly line engineering.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My first contact with linux was around 1993. Since that time I used
+it at work and at home repeatedly but not exclusively as I do now at
+home since 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
+project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Once a day in the early year of 2001 when I wanted to fetch my
+daughter from primary school, there was a teacher sitting in the
+middle of 20 old computers trying to boot them and he failed. I helped
+him to get them booting. That was seen by the school director and she
+asked me if I would like to manage that the school gets all that old
+computers in use. I answered: &quot;Yes&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Some weeks later every of the 10 classrooms had one computer
+running Windows98. I began to collect old computers and equipment as
+gifts and installed the first computer room with a peer-to-peer
+network. I did my work at school without being payed in my spare time
+and with a lot of fun.  About one year later the school was connected
+to Internet and a local area network was installed in the school
+building.  That was the time to have a server and I knew it must be a
+Linux server to be able to fulfil all the wishes of the teachers and
+being able to do this in a transparent and economic way, without extra
+costs for things like licence and software.  So I searched for a
+school server system running under Linux and I found a couple of
+people nearby who founded &#39;skolelinux.de&#39;. It was the Skolelinux
+prerelease 32 I first tried out for being used at the school.  I
+managed the IT of that school until the municipal authority took over
+the IT management and centralised the services for all schools in
+Bielefeld in December of 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When I&#39;m looking back to the beginning, there were other advantages
+for me as today.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In the past there were advantages like:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;I don&#39;t need to buy it so it generates no costs to the school as
+they had little money to spent for computers and software.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;It has a licence which grands all rights to use it without
+cost.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;It was more able to fit all requirements of a server system for
+schools than a Microsoft server system, even if there are only Windows
+clients because of it&#39;s preconfigured overall concept of being a
+infrastructure solution and community for schools, not only a
+server&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;I was able to configure the server to the needs of the
+school.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Today some of the advantages has been lost, changed or new ones
+came up in this way:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Most schools here do have money to buy hardware and software
+now.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;They are today mostly managed from central IT departments which
+have own concepts which often do not fit to Debian Edu concepts
+because they are to close to Microsoft ideology.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;With the Squeeze version of Debian Edu which now uses GOsa² for
+management I feel more able to manage the daily tasks than with the
+interfaces used in the past.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;It is more modular than in the past and fits even better to the
+different needs.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;The documentation is usable and gets better every day.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;More people than ever before are using Debian Edu all over the
+world and so the community, which is an very important part I think,
+is sharing knowledge and minds.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Most, maybe all, of the technical requirements for schools are
+solved today by Debian Edu. &lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;There are too few IT companies able to integrate Debian Edu into
+their product portfolio for serving schools with concepts or even
+whole municipality areas.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Debian Edu has beside other free and open software projects not
+enough lobbyists which promote free and open software to
+politicians.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Technically there are no disadvantages I&#39;m aware of.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I use Debian stable on my home server and on my little desktop
+computer. On my laptop I use Debian testing/sid. The applications I
+use on my laptop and my desktop are Open/Libre-office, Iceweasel,
+KMail, DigiKam, Amarok, Dolphin, okular and all the other programs I
+need from the KDE environment.  On console I use newsbeuter, mutt,
+screen, irssi and all the other famous and useful tools.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;My home server provides mail services with exim, dovecot, roundcube
+and mutt over ssh on the console, file services with samba, NFS,
+rsync, web services with apache, moinmoin-wiki, multimedia services
+with gallery2 and mediatomb and database services with MySQL for me
+and the whole family.  I probably forgot something.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I believe, we should provide concepts for IT companies to integrate
+Debian Edu into their product portfolio with use cases for different
+countries and areas all over the world.&lt;/p&gt;

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

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- IMG_5869.JPG --&gt;
+&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/panasonic-er-1611.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I normally cut my hair short, and my tool of choice has been a
+common hair/beard cutter, bought in a electrical shop here in Norway.
+But the last ones have not really been up to the task.  My last
+cutter, some model from Braun, could only cut a few of my hairs at the
+time, and cutting my head took forever.  And the one before that did
+not work very well either.  We have looked for something better for a
+while, but it was not until I ended up visiting a hairdresser that we
+discovered that there are indeed better tools available.  But these
+are not marketed and sold to &quot;regular consumers&quot;.  The hair saloons
+can get them through their suppliers, but their suppliers only sell
+companies.  The models they sell, are very different from the ones
+available from Elkjøp and Lefdal.  The main difference is their
+efficiency.  It would cut my hair in 5 minutes, instead of the 30-40
+minutes required by my impotent Braun.  The hairdresser I visited had
+a Panasonic ER160, which unfortunately is no longer available from the
+producer.  But I found it had a successor, the Panasonic ER1611.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The next step was to find somewhere to buy it.  This was not
+straight forward.  The list of suppliers I got from the hairdresser
+did not want to sell anything to me.  But searching for the model on
+the web we found a supplier in Norway willing to sell it to us for
+around NOK 4000,-.  This was a bit much.  We kept searching and
+finally found a Danish supplier
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://nicehair.dk/panasonic-er-1611-professionel-hartrimmer.html&quot;&gt;selling
+it for around NOK 1800,-&lt;/a&gt;.  We ordered one, and it arrived a few
+days ago.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The instructions said it had to charge for 8 hours when we started
+to use it, so we left it charging over night.  Normally it will only
+need one hour to charge.  The following evening we successfully tested
+it, and I can warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a real hair
+cutter.  The ones we have used until now have been hair cutter
+toys.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article243690.ece&quot;&gt;an
+article today&lt;/a&gt; published by Computerworld Norway, the photographer
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.urke.com/eirik/&quot;&gt;Eirik Helland Urke&lt;/a&gt; reports
+that the video editor application included with
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x/#specs&quot;&gt;HTC One
+X&lt;/a&gt; have some quite surprising terms of use.  The article is mostly
+based on the twitter message from mister Urke, stating:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/urke/status/194062269724897280&quot;&gt;Drøy
+brukeravtale: HTC kan bruke MINE redigerte videoer kommersielt. Selv
+kan jeg KUN bruke dem privat.&lt;/a&gt;&quot;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I quickly translated it to this English message:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&quot;Arrogant user agreement: HTC can use MY edited videos
+commercially.  Although I can ONLY use them privately.&quot;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been unable to find the text of the license term myself, but
+suspect it is a variation of the MPEG-LA terms I
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Terms_of_use_for_video_produced_by_a_Canon_IXUS_130_digital_camera.html&quot;&gt;discovered
+with my Canon IXUS 130&lt;/a&gt;.  The HTC One X specification specifies that
+the recording format of the phone is .amr for audio and .mp3 for
+video.  AMR is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate_audio_codec#Licensing_and_patent_issues&quot;&gt;Adaptive
+Multi-Rate audio codec&lt;/a&gt; with patents which according to the
+Wikipedia article require an license agreement with
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.voiceage.com/&quot;&gt;VoiceAge&lt;/a&gt;.  MP4 is
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Patent_licensing&quot;&gt;MPEG4 with
+H.264&lt;/a&gt;, which according to Wikipedia require a licence agreement
+with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpegla.com/&quot;&gt;MPEG-LA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I know why I prefer
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition&quot;&gt;free and open
+standards&lt;/a&gt; also for video.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hva_har_mine_representanter_stemt_i_Storinget_.html&quot;&gt;januar
+i fjor&lt;/a&gt; startet vi i NUUG arbeid med å gjøre informasjon om hvem
+som har stemt hva på &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/&quot;&gt;Stortinget&lt;/a&gt;
+enklere tilgjengelig.  I løpet av få måneder fant vi sammen med
+organisasjonen &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.holderdeord.no/&quot;&gt;Holder de ord&lt;/a&gt;
+som arbeidet mot et lignende mål.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Siden den gang har vi fått tak i maskinelt lesbart informasjon om
+hvem som stemte hva mellom 1990 og våren 2010, og tilgang til
+stortingets nye datatjeneste som har informasjon fra høsten 2011 til i
+dag.  Det gjenstår litt arbeid med det første datasettet, men
+datasettet fra høsten 2011 er klart til bruk.  Begge datasettene er
+tilgjengelig &lt;a href=&quot;https://gitorious.org/nuug/folketingparser&quot;&gt;via
+git&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;På
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goopen.no/holder-de-ord-datadrevet-oppfolging-av-politiske-lofter/&quot;&gt;Go Open&lt;/a&gt; i morgen lanserer
+NUUG sammen med Holder de ord &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/&quot;&gt;en
+test-tjeneste&lt;/a&gt; som viser hva som er og blir behandlet på Stortinget og
+hvem som har stemt hva siden oktober i fjor.  Du får herved mulighet

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

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Behind &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and
-Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; there are a lot of people doing the hard work of
-setting together all the pieces.  This time I present to you Andreas
-Mundt, who have been part of the technical development team several
-years.  We was also a key contributor in getting GOsa and Kerberos set
-up in the recently released
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze&quot;&gt;Debian
-Edu Squeeze&lt;/a&gt; version.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My name is Andreas Mundt, I grew up in south Germany.  After
-studying Physics I spent several years at university doing research in
-Quantum Optics.  After that I worked some years in an optics company.
-Finally I decided to turn over a new leaf in my life and started
-teaching 10 to 19 years old kids at school.  I teach math, physics,
-information technology and science/technology.&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;Already before I switched to teaching, I followed the Debian Edu
-project because of my interest in education and Debian.  Within the
-qualification/training period for the teaching, I started
-contributing.&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 advantages of Debian Edu are the well known name, the
-out-of-the-box philosophy and of course the great free software of the
-Debian Project!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;As every coin has two sides, the out-of-the-box philosophy has its
-downside, too.  In my opinion, it is hard to modify and tweak the
-setup, if you need or want that.  Further more, it is not easily
-possible to upgrade the system to a new release.  It takes much too
-long after a Debian release to prepare the -Edu release, perhaps
-because the number of developers working on the core of the code is
-rather small and often busy elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLAN&quot;&gt;Debian LAN&lt;/a&gt;
-project might fill the use case of a more flexible system.&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;I am only using non-free software if I am forced to and run Debian
-on all my machines.  For documents I prefer LaTeX and PGF/TikZ, then
-mutt and iceweasel for email respectively web browsing.  At school I
-have Arduino and Fritzing in use for a micro controller project.&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;One of the major problems is the vendor lock-in from top to bottom:
-Especially in combination with ignorant government employees and
-politicians, this works out great for the &quot;market-leader&quot;.  The school
-administration here in Baden-Wuerttemberg is occupied by that vendor.
-Documents have to be prepared in non-free, proprietary formats.  Even
-free browsers do not work for the school administration.  Publishers
-of school books provide software only for proprietary platforms.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To change this, political work is very important.  Parts of the
-political spectrum have become aware of the problem in the last years.
-However it takes quite some time and courageous politicians to &#39;free&#39;
-the system.  There is currently some discussion about &quot;Open Data&quot; and
-&quot;Free/Open Standards&quot;.  I am not sure if all the involved parties have
-a clue about the potential of these ideas, and probably only a
-fraction takes them seriously.  However it might slowly make free
-software and the philosophy behind it more known and popular.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;It take all kind of contributions to create a Linux distribution
-like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;,
-and this time I lend the ear to Justin B. Rye, who is listed as a big
-contributor to the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze&quot;&gt;Debian
-Edu Squeeze release manual&lt;/a&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&#39;m a 44-year-old linguistics graduate living in Edinburgh who has
-occasionally been employed as a sysadmin.&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&#39;m neither a developer nor a Skolelinux/Debian Edu user!  The only
-reason my name&#39;s in the credits for the documentation is that I hang
-around on debian-l10n-english waiting for people to mention things
-they&#39;d like a native English speaker to proofread...  So I did a sweep
-through the wiki for typos and Norglish and inconsistent spellings of
-&quot;localisation&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;These questions are too hard for me - I don&#39;t use it!  In fact I
-had hardly any contact with I.T. until long after I&#39;d got out of the
-education system.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I can tell you the advantages of Debian for me though: it soaks up
-as much of my free time as I want and no more, and lets me do
-everything I want a computer for without ever forcing me to spend
-money on the latest hardware.&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;I&#39;ve been using Debian since Rex; popularity-contest says the
-software that I use most is xinit, xterm, and xulrunner (in other
-words, I use a distinctly retro sort of desktop).&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, I don&#39;t know.  I suppose I&#39;d be inclined to try reasoning
-with the people who make the decisions, but obviously if that worked
-you would hardly need a strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Fri, 6 Apr 2012 22:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I have spent time with
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slxdrift.no/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux Drift AS&lt;/a&gt; on speeding
-up a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
-Lenny installation using LTSP diskless workstations, and in the
-process I discovered something very surprising.  The reason the KDE
-menu was responding slow when using it for the first time, was mostly
-due to the way KDE find application icons.  I discovered that showing
-the Multimedia menu would cause more than 20 000 IP packages to be
-passed between the LTSP client and the NFS server.  Most of these were
-
-NFS LOOKUP calls, resulting in a NFS3ERR_NOENT response.  Because the
-ping times between the client and the server were in the range 2-20
-ms, the menus would be very slow.  Looking at the strace of kicker in
-Lenny (or plasma-desktop i Squeeze - same problem there), I see that
-the source of these NFS calls are access(2) system calls for
-non-existing files.  KDE can do hundreds of access(2) calls to find
-one icon file.  In my example, just finding the mplayer icon required
-around 230 access(2) calls.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The KDE code seem to search for icons using a list of icon
-directories, and the list of possible directories is large.  In
-(almost) each directory, it look for files ending in .png, .svgz, .svg
-and .xpm.  The result is a very slow KDE menu when /usr/ is NFS
-mounted.  Showing a single sub menu may result in thousands of NFS
-requests.  I am not the first one to discover this.  I found a
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211416&quot;&gt;KDE bug report
-from 2009&lt;/a&gt; about this problem, and it is still unsolved.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My solution to speed up the KDE menu was to create a package
-kde-icon-cache that upon installation will look at all .desktop files
-used to generate the KDE menu, find their icons, search the icon paths
-for the file that KDE will end up finding at run time, and copying the
-icon file to /var/lib/kde-icon-cache/.  Finally, I add symlinks to
-these icon files in one of the first directories where KDE will look
-for them.  This cut down the number of file accesses required to find
-one icon from several hundred to less than 5, and make the KDE menu
-almost instantaneous.  I&#39;m not quite sure where to make the package
-publicly available, so for now it is only available on request.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The bug report mention that this do not only affect the KDE menu
-and icon handling, but also the login process.  Not quite sure how to
-speed up that part without replacing NFS with for example NBD, and
-that is not really an option at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you got feedback on this issue, please let us know on debian-edu
-(at) lists.debian.org.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Germany is a core area for the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
-user community, and this time I managed to get hold of Wolfgang
-Schweer, a valuable contributor to the project from Germany.
-
-&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&#39;ve studied Mathematics at the university &#39;Ruhr-Universität&#39; in
-Bochum, Germany. Since 1981 I&#39;m working as a teacher at the school
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.westfalenkolleg-dortmund.de/&quot;&gt;Westfalen-Kolleg
-Dortmund&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, a second chance school.  Here, young adults is given
-the opportunity to get further education in order to do the school
-examination &#39;Abitur&#39;, which will allow to study at a university. This
-second chance is of value for those who want a better job perspective
-or failed to get a higher school examination being teens.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Besides teaching I was involved in developing online courses for a
-blended learning project called &#39;abitur-online.nrw&#39; and in some other
-information technology related projects. For about ten years I&#39;ve been
-teacher and coordinator for the &#39;abitur-online&#39; project at my
-school. Being now in my early sixties, I&#39;ve decided to leave school at
-the end of April this year.&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 first information about Skolelinux must have come to my
-attention years ago and somehow related to LTSP (Linux Terminal Server
-Project).  At school, we had set up a network at the beginning of 1997
-using Suse Linux on the desktop, replacing a Novell network. Since
-2002, we used old machines from the city council of Dortmund as thin
-clients (LTSP, later Ubuntu/Lessdisks) cause new hardware was out of
-reach. At home I&#39;m using Debian since years and - subscribed to the
-Debian news letter - heard from time to time about Skolelinux. About
-two years ago I proposed to replace the (somehow undocumented and only
-known to me) system at school by a well known Debian based system:
-Skolelinux.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Students and teachers appreciated the new system because of a
-better look and feel and an enhanced access to local media on thin
-clients.  The possibility to alter and/or reset passwords using a GUI
-was welcomed, too. Being able to do administrative tasks using a GUI
-and to easily set up workstations using PXE was of very high value for
-the admin teachers.&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;It&#39;s open source, easy to set up, stable and flexible due to it&#39;s
-Debian base. It integrates LTSP out-of-the-box. And it is documented!
-So it was a perfect choice.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Being open source, there are no license problems and so it&#39;s
-possible to point teachers and students to programs like
-OpenOffice.org, ViewYourMind (mind mapping) and The Gimp.  It&#39;s of
-high value to be able to adapt parts of the system to special needs of
-a school and to choose where to get support for this.&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;Nothing yet.&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;At home (Debian Sid with Gnome Desktop): Iceweasel, LibreOffice,
-Mutt, Gedit, Document Viewer, Midnight Commander, flpsed (PDF
-Annotator).  At school (Skolelinux Lenny): Iceweasel, Gedit,
-LibreOffice.&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;Some time ago I thought it was enough to tell people about it. But
-that doesn&#39;t seem to work quite well. Now I concentrate on those more
-interested and hope to get multiplicators that way.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Fri, 30 Mar 2012 19:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I dag har &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no&quot;&gt;FRiSK&lt;/a&gt;
-sendt ut følgende pressemelding basert på mine beregninger av
-PC-tetthet på Linux-skoler:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Linux-skoler har høyere PC-tetthet enn
-landsgjennomsnittet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Oslo, 30 Mars 2012&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det er store forskjeller på skolenes digitale tilstand, viser
-undersøkelsen Monitor 2011 som er laget på oppdrag fra
-Kunnskapsdepartementet. Dette har ført til debatt om PC-tilgangen i
-skolen, og om de med Linux i skolen gjør det bedre bedre eller
-dårligere enn snittet i landet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Nå har vi tallene. Skoler med Linux har 36% større PC-tetthet en
-landsgjennomsnittet. På spørsmål hvorfor skoler med Linux har større
-PC-tetthet, observerer Paul Reidar Løsnesløkken som er IKT-konsulent i
-Nord-Odal:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Vi erfarer at klienter med Skolelinux har god funksjon
-til de er 8 til 10 år gamle. Dette er omtrent dobbelt så lenge som
-andre løsninger, og skolene får mer datautstyr for
-pengene.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Undersøkelsen baserer seg på 56 skoler som har gjort det offentlig
-at de kjører Skolelinux eller annen Linux-utgave. De kan også ha PC-er
-med Windows i skolenettet. Når en sammenligner PC-tetthetene på
-skolene i kommunene Flora, Harstad, Kongsvinger, Narvik, Nittedal,
-Nord-Odal og Randaberg, er det i snitt 2,28 elev pr. PC på skolene med
-Linux. På landsbasis er det 3.11 elev per PC i grunnskolen, i følge
-side 95 i Monitor-rapporten for 2011. Målingen viser dermed 36% større
-PC-tetthet i skoler med Linux.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Om Skolelinux/Debian Edu&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Skolelinux har til hensikt å gi alle barn full tilgang til
-skoleaktuelle dataprogram på sitt eget morsmål. Derfor følger det med
-godt over 100 skoleaktuelle programmene laget for læring. De fleste
-programmene er oversatt til over 50 språk. Elevene skal også kunne
-studere alle sider av dataprogrammene. Derfor følger også kildekode
-med. Elever med interesse kan lære av eksperter som har laget
-systemet. Dette med enkelt programmering i læreprogram som KTurtle,
-til profesjonelle verktøy som Qt Creator eller Java.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Skolelinux er laget for sentralisert drift, der alt teknisk
-administrasjon av alle skolene kan gjøres sentralt fra kommunehuset
-eller sentralt i en region.  F.eks. drifter to-tre personer 70.000
-skoledatamaskiner på 200 skoler i delstaten Extremadura i
-Spania. Etter velykket bruk av Debian Edu i skolen, legger delstaten
-over til Debian på 40.000 datamaskiner i administrasjonen. Det er idag
-mange selskap som tilbyr profesjonell støtte til innføring og drift i
-Norge og verden.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Skolelinux_intervju__Roy_Arne_Myhre.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:15:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I serien med intervjuer av folk i
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;-miljøet, får vi
-denne gangen høre fra en IKT-ansvarlig som har brukt Skolelinux i
-mange år, og vært storfornøyd med erfaringene så langt.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Mitt navn er Roy-Arne Myhre og jeg er 42 år.  Jeg er ansatt hos
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sandskole.no/&quot;&gt;Sand skole&lt;/a&gt; (Balsfjord kommune)
-og har stort sett vært det siden 1990.  Jeg er IKT ansvarlig ved
-skolen i 40% stilling – 10% undervisning – musikk.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Ved skolen er det ca 100 elever og ca 18 lærere + 4 assistenter i
-hele og delte stillinger. Alle lærerne har bærbar PC (dessverre med
-Win Vista) – assistenter har tilgang til egne. Vi benytter Fronter i
-det daglige arbeidet.  Vi har ca 90 elevmaskiner som fungerer til
-daglig opp mot Linux server (XFCE) som driftes av
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bzz.no/&quot;&gt;BzzWare AS&lt;/a&gt; via nett. Maskinparken
-består kun av brukt utstyr for elevene – og noe av dette begynner å
-bli vel gammelt selv som halvtykke klienter.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvordan kom du i kontakt med
-Skolelinux-prosjektet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Vi kom første gang i kontakt med Skolelinux rundt 1997. Den gang
-var det oppstart-disketter i hver maskin, ikke mulighet for lyd og
-video, gamle nettverkskort og mye plundring.  Vi hadde en ihuga
-forelder med som pådriver, forsker og inspirator for hele opplegget.
-Selv ante jeg knapt at Skolelinux fantes, men han var av den
-utforskende typen, og fikk både meg og skolelederen i trua på at dette
-var ting som kunne fungere.  Etter dette har det gått gradvis
-framover; flere maskiner er hentet inn gjennom bl.a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.greentech.no/&quot;&gt;Greentech&lt;/a&gt; og utrangert utstyr
-fra høgskole / Avinor og private givere. Når maskinene ble for trege
-for nye Windows-versjoner, sto vi klare til å putte dem i nettverket
-vårt.  Dette betyr at vi i dag har 1:1 dekning av maskiner på
-ungdomstrinnet og bedre enn 1:2 på barnetrinnet. Dette er vi veldig
-fornøyd med, og vi kan ikke se for oss hverdagen som ville vært
-alternativet ved bruk av Windows med sine lisenser pr. Bruker/maskin.
-Da ville vi nok vært tilbake til 1-2 maskiner pr klasserom med de
-negative konsekvenser det ville hatt for undervisningsformene våre. Vi
-kan ha en hel klasse i prosjektjobbing eller individuell jobbing
-samtidig – vi kan avholde tentamen og eksamen uten
-logistikkproblemer.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-Hvor skal jeg begynne... Stabiliteten er et nøkkelord - det bare
-virker.  Har du først fått en server med Skolelinux opp og gå, så må
-det en maskinarefeil eller sabotasje til for å stoppe den.  Det at man
-kan bruke eldre maskiner som normalt sett ville gått på dynga, er også
-glimrende - billig for skoler med dårlig økonomi og bra for miljøet
-siden vi gjenbruker utstyr i stedet for å skaffe nytt. Vi ville aldri
-hatt mulighet til å operere med det maskinantallet vi har pr i dag
-hvis det ikke var for Skolelinux - så tilgjengelighet er et annet
-nøkkelord. Et tredje moment er sikkerhet og brukertilgang. Alle
-brukerer opererer med egne brukernavn og passord, samt egne
-brukerområder som kan tilpasses for både enbrukertilgang og for
-samarbeid med andre.
-
-Elever har godt av å se at det finnes andre alternativer enn de som
-storindustrien selger på lisensbasis - på den måten trenes de opp til
-å se flere muligheter og å foreta valg ut fra flere opsjoner.
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Ulempene med Skolelinux er nok utbredelsen og mangelen på kjennskap
-til dette i skolenorge.  De som skal ta økonomiske avgjørelser rynker
-på nesen og vil gå for det kjente og «sikre» selv om det koster mye
-mer. Man får rett og slett litt hetta av å ikke kunne noe – og unngår
-dette for enhver pris.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I tillegg er mye av linux-systemet administrert av tekstkommandoer
-og er lite intuitiv/visuell for oss som ikke er «inne i»
-kildekodene». Så problemet er nok mye godt at de som
-utarbeider/drifter Skolelinux ikke helt klarer å sette seg ned på
-skoleadministratorens nivå når det gjelder problemer og
-utfordringer. Men dette er nok en utfordring alle administratorer
-sliter med uansett OS.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Derfor har vi valgt å støtte oss til BzzWare AS for assistanse i
-drifta slik at jeg har kunnet konsentrere meg mer om kabling, skifting
-av komponenter, veiledning av lærere og elever, vedlikehold av
-skrivere og annen daglig drift.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Elevene mestrer Skolelinux helt fint.  Så lenge Internett
-(Iceweasel) og Libreoffice (Openoffice) fungerer er 90% av
-skolehverdagen velfungerende. I tillegg brukes jo en del av den
-pedagogiske programpakken bla. i forhold til matematikk og geografi,
-men det er såpass mye bra på nett om dagen, så disse programmene er
-mer som krydder å regne.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg skulle ønske neste versjon av Skolelinux kunne komme litt
-mindre stappet med programmer, for halvparten blir aldri brukt, eller
-fungerer ikke uansett.  Hva med et pedagogisk panel av lærere/IKT
-ansvarlige som kunne sagt: disse programmene skal være standard, så
-får resten være slike man kan legge til ved behov – det kan lett bli
-en jungel å bevege seg i.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg ønsker meg også en mer grafisk versjon av
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bzz.no/lwat/trac/trac.cgi&quot;&gt;Lwat&lt;/a&gt; hvor man kan krysse
-ut de som f.eks ikke skal ha internett-tilgang en dag pga
-eksamen/tentamen, samt en noe enklere brannmurløsning hvor man kan
-stenge for en del (få) sider på en enkel måte.  Jeg liker godt
-Skolelinux sin ideologi om at filteret skal trenes i hodet på eleven –
-men av og til skulle jeg ønske at f.eks Facebook og Youtube kunne vært
-koblet vekk en periode for å få bedre utnyttelse av tid og
-ressurser. Disse to nettstedene er nok mye av årsaken til at mange
-lærere holder igjen databruken noe mer enn man kunne ønske.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-Jeg benytter nesten bare fri programvare til daglig. LibreOffice,
-Iceweasel (Firefox), Thunderbird til e-post og Gimp til
-bildebehandling.  Vi har PHP-Nuke-oppsatt hjemmeside. Det eneste som
-jeg ikke har fått helt til enda er videoredigering - her må man vel
-innrømme at Mac er hakket over, men da er vi igjen over på å se hva
-som egner seg best, og ta valg ut fra det. Folk flest lever i
-villfarelsen om at regneark HETER Excel og tekstbehandling HETER
-Word. Dette er en misforståelse som jeg bruker mye energi på å
-diskutere og &quot;åpne sinn&quot; på Microsoft-slaver.  Dessverre er det mange
-IKT-ansvarlige som også har låst seg på at det eneste saliggjørende er
-Bill G sine produkter.
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
-skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For å komme lenger i utbredelsen av Skolelinux tror jeg det må mer
-fram i nasjonale medier, samt komme bedre fram hva økonomien i dette
-valget vil være – samt mulighetene. Fri programvare er en berikelse og
-gjør oss i stand til å utføre arbeidet i skolen uten å måtte legge
-igjen tusener på tusener i Bill Gates lomme.. Få ETT nettsted med
-forståelig veiledning av installasjon/oppgradering og ETT forum med
-konkrete feilrettinger og problemer, så tror jeg vi kunne kommet et
-par skritt framover. Ellers tror jeg bare at ildsjelene må fortsette å
-skinne – kanskje flere enn oss følger etter på veien.&lt;/p&gt;
