-               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, I wrote about
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html&quot;&gt;the
-problems I experienced with my new X230 and its SSD disk&lt;/a&gt;, which
-was dying during installation because it is unable to cope with
-sustained write.  My supplier is in contact with
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lenovo.com/&quot;&gt;Lenovo&lt;/a&gt;, and they wanted to send a
-replacement disk to try to fix the problem.  They decided to send an
-identical model, so my hopes for a permanent fix was slim.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Anyway, today I got the replacement disk and tried to install
-Debian Edu Wheezy with encrypted disk on it.  The new disk have the
-same firmware version as the original.  This time my hope raised
-slightly as the installation progressed, as the original disk used to
-die after 4-7% of the disk was written to, while this time it kept
-going past 10%, 20%, 40% and even past 50%.  But around 60%, the disk
-died again and I was back on square one.  I still do not have a new
-laptop with a disk I can trust.  I can not live with a disk that might
-lock up when I download a new
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; ISO or
-other large files.  I look forward to hearing from my supplier with
-the next proposal from Lenovo.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The original disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,

+                <pubDate>Sat, 22 Feb 2014 21:45:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Many years ago, I wrote a GPL licensed version of the netgroup and
+innetgr tools, because I needed them in
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;.  I called the project
+ng-utils, and it has served me well.  I placed the project under the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hungry.com/&quot;&gt;Hungry Programmer&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Alioth&lt;/a&gt;, but did not have time
+to follow up on it.  Until today. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/&quot;&gt;https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/&lt;/a&gt;
+if you want to check it out.  The new version is also uploaded into
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/ng-utils.html&quot;&gt;Debian Unstable&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Fri, 5 Jul 2013 08:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Half a year ago, I reported that I had to find a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Thank_you_Thinkpad_X41__for_your_long_and_trustworthy_service.html&quot;&gt;replacement
-for my trusty old Thinkpad X41&lt;/a&gt;.  Unfortunately I did not have much
-time to spend on it, and it took a while to find a model I believe
-will do the job, but two days ago the replacement finally arrived.  I
-ended up picking a
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_thinkpad_x230&quot;&gt;Thinkpad X230&lt;/a&gt;
-with SSD disk (NZDAJMN).  I first test installed Debian Edu Wheezy as
-a roaming workstation, and it seemed to work flawlessly.  But my
-second installation with encrypted disk was not as successful.  More
-on that below.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most
-important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never
-listed in the feature list.  But I did get good help from the search
-feature at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prisjakt.no/&quot;&gt;Prisjakt&lt;/a&gt;, which
-allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other
-requirements.  A bit surprising that SSD disk are not disks according
-to that search interface, so I had to drop specifying the number of
-disks from my search parameters.  I also asked around among friends to
-get their impression on keyboards and robustness.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So the new laptop arrived, and it is quite a lot wider than the
-X41.  I am not quite convinced about the keyboard, as it is
-significantly wider than my old keyboard, and I have to stretch my
-hand a lot more to reach the edges.  But the key response is fairly
-good and the individual key shape is fairly easy to handle, so I hope
-I will get used to it.  My old X40 was starting to fail, and I really
-needed a new laptop now. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Turning off the touch pad was simple.  All it took was a quick
-visit to the BIOS during boot it disable it.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;But there is a fatal problem with the laptop.  The 180 GB SSD disk
-lock up during load.  And this happen when installing Debian Wheezy
-with encrypted disk, while the disk is being filled with random data.
-I also tested to install Ubuntu Raring, and it happen there too if I
-reenable the code to fill the disk with random data (it is disabled by
-default in Ubuntu).  And the bug with is already known.  It was
-reported to Debian as &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/691427&quot;&gt;BTS
-report #691427 2012-10-25&lt;/a&gt; (journal commit I/O error on brand-new
-Thinkpad T430s ext4 on lvm on SSD).  It is also reported to the Linux
-kernel developers as
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51861&quot;&gt;Kernel bugzilla
-report #51861 2012-12-20&lt;/a&gt; (Intel SSD 520 stops working under load
-(SSDSC2BW180A3L in Lenovo ThinkPad T430s)). It is also reported on the
-Lenovo forums, both for
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-Intel-SSD-520-180GB-issue/m-p/1070549&quot;&gt;T430
-2012-11-10&lt;/a&gt; and for
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x230-SATA-errors-with-180GB-Intel-520-SSD-under-heavy-write-load/m-p/1068147&quot;&gt;X230
-03-20-2013&lt;/a&gt;.  The problem do not only affect installation.  The
-reports state that the disk lock up during use if many writes are done
-on the disk, so it is much no use to work around the installation
-problem and end up with a computer that can lock up at any moment.
-There is even a
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://git.efficios.com/?p=test-ssd.git&quot;&gt;small C program
-available&lt;/a&gt; that will lock up the hard drive after running a few
-minutes by writing to a file.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve contacted my supplier and asked how to handle this, and after
-contacting PCHELP Norway (request 01D1FDP) which handle support
-requests for Lenovo, his first suggestion was to upgrade the disk
-firmware.  Unfortunately there is no newer firmware available from
-Lenovo, as my disk already have the most recent one (version LF1i).  I
-hope to hear more from him today and hope the problem can be
-fixed. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;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
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://teythoon.cryptobitch.de//categories/gsoc.html&quot;&gt;great
+Google Summer of Code work&lt;/a&gt; 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
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz&quot;&gt;http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz&lt;/a&gt;,
+and started it using virt-manager.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The first think I had to do after logging in (root without any
+password) was to get the network operational.  I followed
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install&quot;&gt;the
+instructions on the Debian GNU/Hurd ports page&lt;/a&gt; and ran these
+commands as root to get the machine to accept a IP address from the
+kvm internal DHCP server:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+settrans -fgap /dev/netdde /hurd/netdde
+kill $(ps -ef|awk &#39;/[p]finet/ { print $2}&#39;)
+kill $(ps -ef|awk &#39;/[d]evnode/ { print $2}&#39;)
+dhclient /dev/eth0
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Run these commands as root to upgrade and test the new sysvinit
+stuff:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+cat &gt; /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list &amp;lt;&amp;lt;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
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To reboot after switching boot system, you have to use
+&lt;tt&gt;reboot-hurd&lt;/tt&gt; instead of just &lt;tt&gt;reboot&lt;/tt&gt;, as there is not
+yet a sysvinit process able to receive the signals from the normal
+&#39;reboot&#39; 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.
+
+&lt;p&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+cat &gt; /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hurd-ci.list &amp;lt;&amp;lt;EOF
+deb http://darnassus.sceen.net/~teythoon/hurd-ci/ sid main
+EOF
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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 &quot;unofficial&quot; packages installed:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+# aptitude search &#39;?narrow(?version(CURRENT),?origin(Debian Ports))&#39;
+i   emacs                   - GNU Emacs editor (metapackage)
+i   gdb                     - GNU Debugger
+i   hurd-recommended        - Miscellaneous translators
+i   isc-dhcp-client         - ISC DHCP client
+i   isc-dhcp-common         - common files used by all the isc-dhcp* packages

+i A libc0.3-dbg             - Embedded GNU C Library: detached debugging symbols
+i   libc0.3-dev             - Embedded GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea
+i   multiarch-support       - Transitional package to ensure multiarch compatibilit
+i A x11-common              - X Window System (X.Org) infrastructure
+i   xorg                    - X.Org X Window System
+i A xserver-xorg            - X.Org X server
+i A xserver-xorg-input-all  - X.Org X server -- input driver metapackage
+#
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Half a year ago, I reported that I had to find a replacement for my
-trusty old Thinkpad X41.  Unfortunately I did not have much time to
-spend on it, but today the replacement finally arrived.  I ended up
-picking a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_thinkpad_x230&quot;&gt;Thinkpad
-X230&lt;/a&gt; with SSD disk (NZDAJMN).  I first test installed Debian Edu
-Wheezy as a roaming workstation, and it worked flawlessly.  As I write
-this, it is installing what I hope will be a more final installation,
-with a encrypted hard drive to ensure any dope head stealing it end up
-with an expencive door stop.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most
-important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never
-listed in the feature list.  But I did get good help from the search
-feature at &lt;ahref=&quot;http://www.prisjakt.no/&quot;&gt;Prisjakt&lt;/a&gt;, which
-allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other
-requirements.  A bit surprising that SSD disk are not disks, so I had
-to drop number of disks from my search parameters.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I am not quite convinced about the keyboard, as it is significantly
-wider than my old keyboard, and I have to stretch my hand a lot more
-to reach the edges.  But the key response is fairly good and the
-individual key shape is fairly easy to handle, so I hope I will get
-used to it.  My old X40 was starting to fail, and I really needed a
-new laptop now. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I look forward to figuring out how to turn off the touch pad.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_fist_full_of_non_anonymous_Bitcoins.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:10:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;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
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.usenix.org/publications/login&quot;&gt;USENIX ;login:&lt;/a&gt;
+from December 2013, in the article
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/03_meiklejohn-online.pdf&quot;&gt;A
+Fistful of Bitcoins - Characterizing Payments Among Men with No
+Names&lt;/a&gt;&quot; 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:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&quot;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).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;These researches are not the first to analyse the Bitcoin
+transaction log.  The 2011 paper
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524&quot;&gt;An Analysis of Anonymity in
+the Bitcoin System&lt;/A&gt;&quot; by Fergal Reid and Martin Harrigan is
+summarized like this:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&quot;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&#39;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&#39;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.&quot;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I hope these references can help kill the urban myth that Bitcoin
+is anonymous.  It isn&#39;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. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
+activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
+&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&amp;label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Wed, 3 Jul 2013 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;The fourth wheezy based alpha release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
-today.  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~alpha3 released
-2013-07-03&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-7.1+edu0~alpha3, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
-Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, 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, DVD 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
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
-than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
-the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
-and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is the fourth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
-this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
-Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;ul&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Dropped ispell dictionaries from our default installation.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Dropped menu-xdg from the KDE desktop option, to drop the Debian
-    submenu.  It was not included with Gnome, LXDE or Xfce, so this
-    brings KDE in line with the others.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Dropped xdrawchem, xjig and xsok from our default installation as
-    they don&#39;t have a desktop menu entry and thus won&#39;t show up in the
-    menu now that menu-xdg was removed.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Removed the killer system to kill left behind processes on
-    multi-user machines, as it was no longer able to understand when a
-    X display was in use and killed the processes of the active users
-    too.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Dropped the golearn (from goplay) package as the debtags in wheezy
-    are too few to make the package useful.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;ul&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Updated artwork matching http://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/Joy
-  &lt;li&gt;Multi-arch i386/amd64 USB stick ISO available.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Got rid of ispell/wordlist related debconf questions that showed
-    up for some language options.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Switched to using http.debian.net as APT source by default.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Fixed proxy configuration on Main Server installations.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Changed LTSP setup to ask dpkg to use force-unsafe-io the same way
-    d-i is doing it.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Made sure root and user passwords were not left behind in the
-    debconf database after installation on Main Server installations.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Made Roaming Workstation dynamic setup more robust and added draft
-    script setup-ad-client to hook a Roaming Workstation up to a
-    Active Directory server instead of a Debian Edu Main Server.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Update system to install needed firmware packages during
-    installation, to work properly in Wheezy.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Update system to handle hardware quirks (debian-edu-hwsetup).&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Corrected PXE installation setup to properly pass selected desktop
-    and keymap settings to PXE installation clients.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;LTSP diskless workstations use sshfs by default, allowing them to
-    work without adding them to DNS and NIS netgroups for NFS access.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;ul&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;No mass import of user account data in GOsa (ldif or csv)
-    available yet (698840).&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Artwork not enabled for all desktops.&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.coverity.com/&quot;&gt;Coverity&lt;/a&gt; is a nice tool to
+find problems in C, C++ and Java code using static source code
+analysis.  It can detect a lot of different problems, and is very
+useful to find memory and locking bugs in the error handling part of
+the source.  The company behind it provide
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://scan.coverity.com/&quot;&gt;check of free software projects as
+a community service&lt;/a&gt;, and many hundred free software projects are
+already checked.  A few days ago I decided to have a closer look at
+the Coverity system, and discovered that the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/&quot;&gt;gnash&lt;/a&gt; and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitool/&quot;&gt;ipmitool&lt;/a&gt;
+projects I am involved with was already registered.  But these are
+fairly big, and I would also like to have a small and easy project to
+check, and decided to &lt;a href=&quot;http://scan.coverity.com/projects/1179&quot;&gt;request
+checking of the chrpath project&lt;/a&gt;.  It was
+added to the checker and discovered seven potential defects.  Six of
+these were real, mostly resource &quot;leak&quot; when the program detected an
+error.  Nothing serious, as the resources would be released a fraction
+of a second later when the program exited because of the error, but it
+is nice to do it right in case the source of the program some time in
+the future end up in a library.  Having fixed all defects and added
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/chrpath-devel&quot;&gt;a
+mailing list for the chrpath developers&lt;/a&gt;, I decided it was time to
+publish a new release.  These are the release notes:&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;It annoys me when the computer fail to do automatically what it is
-perfectly capable of, and I have to do it manually to get things
-working.  One such task is to find out what firmware packages are
-needed to get the hardware on my computer working.  Most often this
-affect the wifi card, but some times it even affect the RAID
-controller or the ethernet card.  Today I pushed version 0.4 of the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/isenkram&quot;&gt;Isenkram package&lt;/a&gt;
-including a new script isenkram-autoinstall-firmware handling the
-process of asking all the loaded kernel modules what firmware files
-they want, find debian packages providing these files and install the
-debian packages.  Here is a test run on my laptop:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-# isenkram-autoinstall-firmware 
-info: kernel drivers requested extra firmware: ipw2200-bss.fw ipw2200-ibss.fw ipw2200-sniffer.fw
-info: fetching http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/squeeze/Contents-i386.gz
-info: locating packages with the requested firmware files
-info: Updating APT sources after adding non-free APT source
-info: trying to install firmware-ipw2x00
-firmware-ipw2x00
-firmware-ipw2x00
-Preconfiguring packages ...
-Selecting previously deselected package firmware-ipw2x00.
-(Reading database ... 259727 files and directories currently installed.)
-Unpacking firmware-ipw2x00 (from .../firmware-ipw2x00_0.28+squeeze1_all.deb) ...
-Setting up firmware-ipw2x00 (0.28+squeeze1) ...
-# 
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;When all the requested firmware is present, a simple message is
-printed instead:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-# isenkram-autoinstall-firmware 
-info: did not find any firmware files requested by loaded kernel modules.  exiting
-# 
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;It could use some polish, but it is already working well and saving
-me some time when setting up new machines. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So, how does it work?  It look at the set of currently loaded
-kernel modules, and look up each one of them using modinfo, to find
-the firmware files listed in the module meta-information.  Next, it
-download the Contents file from a nearby APT mirror, and search for
-the firmware files in this file to locate the package with the
-requested firmware file.  If the package is in the non-free section, a
-non-free APT source is added and the package is installed using
-&lt;tt&gt;apt-get install&lt;/tt&gt;.  The end result is a slightly better working
-machine.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I hope someone find time to implement a more polished version of
-this script as part of the hw-detect debian-installer module, to
-finally fix &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/655507&quot;&gt;BTS report
-#655507&lt;/a&gt;.  There really is no need to insert USB sticks with
-firmware during a PXE install when the packages already are available
-from the nearby Debian mirror.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
-Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; project, we include a post-installation test suite,
-which check that services are running, working, and return the
-expected results.  It runs automatically just after the first boot on
-test installations (using test ISOs), but not on production
-installations (using non-test ISOs).  It test that the LDAP service is
-operating, Kerberos is responding, DNS is replying, file systems are
-online resizable, etc, etc.  And it check that the PXE service is
-configured, which is the topic of this post.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The last week I&#39;ve fixed the DVD and USB stick ISOs for our Debian
-Edu Wheezy release.  These ISOs are supposed to be able to install a
-complete system without any Internet connection, but for that to
-happen all the needed packages need to be on them.  Thanks to our test
-suite, I discovered that we had forgotten to adjust our PXE setup to
-cope with the new names and paths used by the netboot d-i packages.
-When Internet connectivity was available, the installer fall back to
-using wget to fetch d-i boot images, but when offline it require
-working packages to get it working.  And ad the packages changed name
-from debian-installer-6.0-netboot-$arch to
-debian-installer-7.0-netboot-$arch, we no longer pulled in the
-packages during installation.  Without our test suite, I suspect we
-would never have discovered this before release.  Now it is fixed
-right after we got the ISOs operational.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Another by-product of the test suite is that we can ask system
-administrators with problems getting Debian Edu to work, to run the
-test suite using &lt;tt&gt;/usr/sbin/debian-edu-test-install&lt;/tt&gt; and see if
-any errors are detected.  This usually pinpoint the subsystem causing
-the problem.&lt;/p&gt;

-please join us on
-&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu on

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

-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m a 25 year old free software enthusiast, living in Romania,
-which is also my country of origin. Back in 2009, at a New Year&#39;s Eve
-party, I had a very nice &lt;strike&gt;beer&lt;/strike&gt; discussion with a
-friend, when we realized we have no organised Debian community in our
-country. A few days later, we put together the infrastructure for such
-community and even gathered a nice Debian-ish crowd. Since then, I
-began my quest as a free software hacker and activist and I am
-constantly trying to cover as much ground as possible on that
-field.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A few years ago I founded a small web development company, which
-provided me the flexible schedule I needed so much for my
-activities. For the last 13 months, I have been the Technical Director
-of &lt;a href=&quot;http://ceata.org/&quot;&gt;Fundația Ceata&lt;/a&gt;, which is a free
-software activist organisation endorsed by the FSF and the FSFE, and
-the only one we have in our country.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I am a 23 year-old student from Germany who has spent half of his
+life with open source. In &quot;real life&quot;, I am, as already mentioned, a
+student in the fields of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering,
+Information Technologies and Anglistics. Due to my (only partially
+voluntary) huge engagement in the open source world, these things are
+a bit vacant right now however.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I also have been working as a project teacher at a Gymasnium
+(public school) for various years now. I took up that work some time
+around 2005 when still attending that school myself and have continued
+it until today. I also had been running the (kind of very advanced)
+network of that school together with a team of very interested and
+talented students in the age of 11 to 15 years, who took the chance to
+learn a lot about open source and networking before I left the school
+to help building another school&#39;s informational education concept from
+scratch.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;That said, one might see me as a kind of &quot;glue&quot; between school kids
+and the elderly of teachers as well as between the open source
+ecosystem and the (even more complex) educational ecosystem.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When I am not busy with open source or education, I like Geocaching
+and cycling.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
 project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&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 idea of participating in the Debian Edu project was a surprise
-even to me, since I never used it before I began getting involved in
-it. This year I had a great opportunity to deliver a talk on
-educational software, and I knew immediately where to look. It was a
-love at first sight, since I was previously involved with some of the
-technologies the project incorporates, and I rapidly found a lot of
-ways to contribute.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My first contributions consisted in translating the installer and
-configuration dialogs, then I found some bugs to squash (I still
-haven&#39;t fixed them yet though), and I even got my eyes on some other
-areas where I can prove myself helpful. Since the appetite for free
-software in my country is pretty low, I&#39;ll be happy to be the first
-one around here advocating for the project&#39;s adoption in educational
-environments, and maybe even get my hands dirty in creating a flavour
-for our own needs. I am not used to make very advanced plannings, so
-from now on, time will tell what I&#39;ll be doing next, but I think I
-have a pretty consistent starting point.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+&lt;p&gt;I think that happened some time around 2009 when I first attended
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.froscon.org&quot;&gt;FrOSCon&lt;/a&gt; and visited the project
+booth. I think I wasn&#39;t too interested back then because I used to
+have an attitude of disliking software that does too much stuff on its
+own. Maybe I was too inexperienced to realise the upsides of an
+&quot;out-of-the-box&quot; solution ;).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The first time I actively talked to Skolelinux people was at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openrheinruhr.de&quot;&gt;OpenRheinRuhr&lt;/a&gt; 2011 when the
+BiscuIT project, a home-grewn software used by my school for various
+really cool things from timetables and class contact lists to lunch
+ordering, student ID card printing and project elections first got to
+a stage where it could have been published. I asked the Skolelinux
+guys running the booth if the project were interested in it and gave a
+small demonstration, but there wasn&#39;t any real feedback and the guys
+seemed rather uninterested.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;After I left the school where I developed the software, it got
+mostly lost, but I am now reimplementing it for my new school. I have
+reusability and compatibility in mind, and I hop there will be a new
+basis for contributing it to the Skolelinux project ;)!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian

 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Not a long time ago, I was in the position of configuring and
-maintaining a LDAP server on some Debian derivative, and I must say it
-took me a while. A long time ago, I was maintaining a bigger
-Samba-powered infrastructure, and I must say I spent quite a lot of
-time on it. I have similar stories about many of the services included
-with Skolelinux, and the main advantage I see about it is the
-out-of-the box availability of them, making it quite competitive when
-it comes to managing a school&#39;s network, for example.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Of course, there is more to say about Skolelinux than the
-availability of the software included, its flexibility in various
-scenarios is something I can&#39;t wait to experiment &quot;into the wild&quot; (I
-only played with virtual machines so far). And I am sure there is a
-lot more I haven&#39;t discovered yet about it, being so new within the
-project.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The most important advantage seems to be that it &quot;just
+works&quot;. After overcoming some minor (but still very annoying) glitches
+in the installer, I got a fully functional, working school network,
+without the month-long hassle I experienced when setting all that up
+from scratch in earlier years. And above that, it rocked - I didn&#39;t
+have any real hardware at hand, because the school was just founded
+and has no money whatsoever, so I installed a combined server (main
+server, terminal services and workstation) in a VM on my personal
+notebook, bridging the LTSP network interface to the ethernet port,
+and then PXE-booted the Windows notebooks that were lying around from
+it. I could use 8 clients without any performance issues, by using a
+tiny little VM on a tiny little notebook. I think that&#39;s enough to say
+that it rocks!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Secondly, there are marketing reasons. Life&#39;s bad, and so no
+politician will ever permit a setup described as &quot;Debian, an universal
+operating system, with some really cool educational tools&quot; while they
+will be jsut fine with &quot;Skolelinux, a single-purpose solution for your
+school network&quot;, even if both turn out to be the very same thing (yes,
+this is unfair towards the Skolelinux project, and must not be taken
+too seriously - you get the idea, anyway).&lt;/p&gt;

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

-&lt;p&gt;As usual, when it comes to Debian Blends, I see as the biggest
-disadvantage the lack of a numerous team dedicated to the
-project. Every day I see the same names in the changelogs, and I have
-a constantly fear of the bus factor in this story.  I&#39;d like to see
-Debian Edu advertised more as an entry point into the Debian
-ecosystem, especially amongst newcomers and students. IMHO there are a
-lot low-hanging fruits in terms of bug squashing, and enough
-opportunities to get the feeling of the Debian Project&#39;s dynamics. Not
-to mention it&#39;s a very fun blend to work on!&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Derived from the previous statement, is the delay in catching up
-with the main Debian release and documentation. This is common though
-to all blends and derivatives, but it&#39;s an issue we can all work
-on.&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 can hardly imagine myself spending a day without Vim, since my
-daily routine covers writing code and hacking configuration files. I
-am a fan of the Awesome window manager (but I also like the
-Enlightenment project a lot!),
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.claws-mail.org/‎&quot;&gt;Claws Mail&lt;/a&gt; due to its ease of
-use and very configurable behaviour. Recently I fell in love with
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/redshift&quot;&gt;Redshift&lt;/a&gt;, which helps me
-get through the night without headaches. Of course, there is much more
-stuff in this bag, but I&#39;ll need a blog on my own for doing this!&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, on this field, I cannot do much more than experiment right
-now. So, being far from having a recipe for success, I can only assume
-that:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I have not been involved with Skolelinux long enough to really
+answer this question in a fair way. Thus, please allow me to put it in
+other words: &quot;What do you expect from Skolelinux to keep liking it?&quot; I
+can list a few points about that:&lt;/p&gt;

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

-&lt;li&gt;schools would like to get rid of proprietary software&lt;/li&gt;
+ &lt;li&gt;always strive to get all things integrated into Debian upstream
+ &lt;li&gt;be open to discussion about changes and the like, even with newcomers
+ &lt;li&gt;be helpful at being helpful ;)
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;students will love the openness of the system, and will want to
-    experiment with it - maybe we need to harvest the native curiosity
-    of teenagers more?&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m really sorry I cannot say much more about that :(!&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;there is no &quot;right one&quot; when it comes to strategies, but it would
-    be useful to have some success stories published somewhere, so
-    other can get some inspiration from them (I know I&#39;d promote
-    them!)&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;more active promotion - talks, conferences, even small school
-    lectures can do magical things if they encounter at least one
-    person interested. Who knows who that person might be? ;-)&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;First of all, all software I use is free and open. I have abandoned
+all non-free software (except for firmware on my darned phone) this
+year.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I run Debian GNU/Linux on all PC systems I use. On that, I mostly
+run text tools. I use
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm&quot;&gt;mksh&lt;/a&gt; as shell,
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mirbsd.org/jupp.htm&quot;&gt;jupp&lt;/a&gt; as very advanced
+text editor (I even got the developer to help me write a script/macro
+based full-featured student management software with the two),
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://mcabber.com/&quot;&gt;mcabber&lt;/a&gt; for XMPP and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.irssi.org/&quot;&gt;irssi&lt;/a&gt; for IRC. For that overly
+coloured world called the WWW, I use
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/&quot;&gt;Iceweasel
+(Firefox)&lt;/a&gt;. Oh, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mutt.org/&quot;&gt;mutt&lt;/a&gt; for
+e-mail.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;However, while I am personally aware of the fact that text tools
+are more efficient and powerful than anything else, I also use (or at
+least operate) some tools that are suitable to bring open source to
+kids. One of these things is &lt;a href=&quot;http://jappix.org/&quot;&gt;Jappix&lt;/a&gt;,
+which I already introduced to some kids even before they got aware of
+Facebook, making them see for themselves that they do not need
+Facebook now ;).&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;/ul&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 also see some problems in getting Skolelinux into schools; for
-example, in our country we have a great deal of corruption issues, so
-it might be hard(er) to fight against proprietary solutions. Also,
-people who relied on commercial software for all their lives, would be
-very hard to convert against their will.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Well, that&#39;s a two-sided thing. One side is what I believe, and one
+side is what I have experienced.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I believe that the right strategy is showing them the benefits. But
+that won&#39;t work out as long as the acceptance of free alternatives
+grows globally. What I mean is that if all the kids are almost forced
+to use Windows, Facebook, Skype, you name it at home, they will not
+see why they would want to use alternatives at school. I have seen
+students take seat in front of a fully-functional, modern Debian
+desktop that could do anything their Windows at home could do, and
+they jsut refused to use it because &quot;Linux sucks&quot;. It is something
+that makes the council of our city spend around 600000 € to buy
+software - not including hardware, mind you - for operating school
+networks, and for installing a system that, as has been proved, does
+not work. For those of you readers who are good at maths, have you
+already found out how many lives could have been saved with that money
+if we had instead used it to bring education to parts of the world
+that need it? I have, and found it to be nothing less dramatic than
+plain criminal.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;That said, the only feasible way appears to be the bottom up
+method. We have to bring free software to kids and parents. I have
+founded an association named
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.teckids.org&quot;&gt;Teckids&lt;/a&gt; here in Germany that does
+just that. We organise several events for kids and adolescents in the
+area of free and open source software, for example the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://kids.froscon.org&quot;&gt;FrogLabs&lt;/a&gt;, which share staff with
+Teckids and are the youth programme of
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.froscon.org&quot;&gt;the Free and Open Source Software
+Conference (FrOSCon)&lt;/a&gt;. We do a lot more than most other conferences
+- this year, we first offered the FrogLabs as a holiday camp for kids
+aged 10 to 16. It was a huge success, with approx. 30 kids taking part
+and learning with and about free software through a whole weekend. All
+of us had a lot of fun, and the results were really exciting.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Apart from that, we are preparing a campaign that is supposed to bring
+the message of free alternatives to stuff kids use every day to them and
+their parents, e.g. the use of Jabber / Jappix instead of Facebook and
+Skype. To make that possible, we are planning to get together a team of
+clever kids who understand very well what their peers need and can bring
+it across to them. So we will have a peer-driven network of adolescents
+who teach each other and collect feedback from the community of minors.
+We then take that feedback and our own experience to work closely with
+open source projects, such as Skolelinux or Jappix, at improving their
+software in a way that makes it more and more attractive for the target
+group. At least I hope that we will have good cooperation with
+Skolelinux in the future ;)!&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So in conclusion, what I believe is that, if it weren&#39;t for the world
+being so bad, it should be very clear to the political decision makers
+that the only way to go nowadays is free software for various reasons,
+but I have learnt that the only way that seems to work is bottom up.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;!--
+
+&gt;  * Who should be interviewed with this questions in the future?
+
+That&#39;s probably the hardest question of them all, as I do not know the
+community. However, I would be willing to do the following:
+
+ &lt;li&gt;Run an interview with a German headteacher who is very open to
+   free software, and also prefers it, but cannot really use it because
+   of the decision makers above;
+ &lt;li&gt;Run interviews with some kids, both with and without previous
+   knowledge about free software
+
+If that is wanted, just let me know ;).

+                <pubDate>Tue, 10 Dec 2013 19:20:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Helga 18. og 19. januar 2014 arrangeres
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://makerfaireoslo.no/no/program/dugnadsnett&quot;&gt;Oslo Maker
+Faire&lt;/a&gt;, og &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dugnadsnett.no/&quot;&gt;Dugnadsnett for
+alle&lt;/a&gt; har fått plass!  Planen er å ha et bord med en plakat der vi
+forteller om hva Dugnadsnett for alle er for noe, og et lite verksted
+der vi hjelper folk som er interessert i å få opp sin egen mesh-node.
+Jeg gleder meg til å se hvordan prosjektet blir mottatt der.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Målet med dugnadsnett for alle i Oslo er å få på plass et datanett
+for kommunikasjon ved hjelp av radio-repeaterstasjoner (kalt
+mesh-noder) som gjør at en kan direkte kommunisere med slekt, venner
+og bekjente i Oslo via andre som deltar i dugnadsnettet, samt gjøre
+det mulig komme ut på internett via dugnadsnettet.  Første delmål er å
+kunne sende SMS-meldinger vha. IP-telefoni løsningen
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.servalproject.org/&quot;&gt;Serval project&lt;/a&gt; mellom
+deltagerne i Dugnadsnett for alle i Oslo.  Formålet er å ta tilbake
+kontrollen over egen nett-infrastruktur og gjøre det dyrere å bedrive
+massiv innsamling av informasjon om borgernes bruk av datanett.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Høres dette interessant ut?  Bli med på prosjektet, fortell oss
+hvor du kunne tenke deg å sette opp en radio-repeater (slik at folk i
+nærheten kan finne hverandre ved hjelp av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://flynor.net/mesh/mesh.php&quot;&gt;kartet over planlagte og
+eksisterende radio-repeatere&lt;/A&gt;), bli med på epostlisten
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/dugnadsnett&quot;&gt;dugnadsnett
+(at) nuug.no&lt;/a&gt; og stikk innom
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#dugnadsnett.no&quot;&gt;IRC-kanalen
+#dugnadsnett.no&lt;/a&gt;.  Så langt er det planlagt over 40
+radio-repeatere, med VPN-forbindelser via Internet for å la de delene
+av nettet som ikke når hverandre via radio kunne snakke med hverandre
+likevel.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Klaus_Knopper.html</link>
+               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Klaus_Knopper.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Fri, 6 Dec 2013 09:50:00 +0100</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since I managed to publish the last interview,
+but the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
+Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; community is still going strong, and yesterday we even
+had a new school administrator show up on
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/#debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu&lt;/a&gt; to share
+his success story with installing Debian Edu at their school.  This
+time I have been able to get some helpful comments from the creator of
+Knoppix, Klaus Knopper, who was involved in a Skolelinux project in
+Germany a few years ago.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&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 South-African free software geek who lives in Cape Town. My
-days vary quite a bit since I&#39;m involved in too many things. As I&#39;m
-getting older I&#39;m learning how to focus a bit more :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m also an Edubuntu contributor and I love when there are
-opportunities for the Edubuntu and Debian Edu projects to benefit from
-each other.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I am Klaus Knopper.  I have a master degree in electrical
+engineering, and is currently professor in information management at
+the university of applied sciences Kaiserslautern / Germany and
+freelance Open Source software developer and consultant.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;All of this is pretty much of the work I spend my days with. Apart
+from teaching, I&#39;m also conducting some more or less experimental
+projects like the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knoppix.org&quot;&gt;Knoppix GNU/Linux live
+system&lt;/a&gt; (Debian-based like Skolelinux),
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-adriane/index-en.html&quot;&gt;ADRIANE&lt;/a&gt;
+(a blind-friendly talking desktop system) and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knopper.net/linbo/index-en.html&quot;&gt;LINBO&lt;/a&gt;
+(Linux-based network boot console, a fast remote install and repair
+system supporting various operating systems).&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
 project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&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;ve been somewhat familiar with the project before, but I think my
-first direct exposure to the project was when I met Petter
-[Reinholdtsen] and Knut [Yrvin] at the Edubuntu summit in 2005 in
-London. They provided great feedback that helped the bootstrapping of
-Edubuntu. Back then Edubuntu (and even Ubuntu) was still very new and
-it was great getting input from people who have been around longer. I
-was also still very excitable and said yes to everything and to this
-day I have a big todo list backlog that I&#39;m catching up with. I think
-over the years the relationship between Edubuntu and Debian-Edu has
-been gradually improving, although I think there&#39;s a lot that we could
-still improve on in terms of working together on packages. I&#39;m sure
-we&#39;ll get there one day.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The credit for this have to go to Kurt Gramlich, who is the German
+coordinator for Skolelinux.  We were looking for an all-in-one open
+source community-supported distribution for schools, and Kurt
+introduced us to Skolelinux for this purpose.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;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;Debian itself already has so many advantages. I could go on about
-it for pages, but in essence I love that it&#39;s a very honest project
-that puts its users first with no hidden agendas and also produces
-very high quality work.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I think the advantage of Debian Edu is that it makes many common
-set-up tasks simpler so that administrators can get up and running
-with a lot less effort and frustration. At the same time I think it
-helps to standardise installations in schools so that it&#39;s easier for
-community members and commercial suppliers to support.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Quick installation,&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;works (almost) out of the box,&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;contains many useful software packages for teaching and learning,&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;is a purely community-based distro and not controlled by a
+    single company,&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;has a large number of supporters and teachers who share their
+    experience and problem solutions.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;

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

-&lt;p&gt;I had to re-type this one a few times because I&#39;m trying to
-separate &quot;disadvantages&quot; from &quot;areas that need improvement&quot; (which is
-what I originally rambled on about)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The biggest disadvantage I can think of is lack of manpower. The
-project could do so much more if there were more good contributors. I
-think some of the problems are external too. Free software and free
-content in education is a no-brainer but it takes some time to catch
-on. When you&#39;ve been working with the same proprietary eco-system for
-years and have gotten used to it, it can be hard to adjust to some
-concepts in the free software world. It would be nice if there were
-more Debian Edu consultants across the world. I&#39;d love to be one
-myself but I&#39;m already so over-committed that it&#39;s just not possible
-currently.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I think the best short-term solution to that large-scale problem is
-for schools to be pro-active and share their experiences and grow
-their skills in-house. I&#39;m often saddened to see how much money
-educational institutions spend on 3rd party solutions that they don&#39;t
-have access to after the service has ended and they could&#39;ve gotten so
-much more value otherwise by being more self-sustainable and
-autonomous.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Skolelinux is - as we had to learn - not easily upgradable to
+  the next version.  Opposed to its genuine Debian base, upgrading to
+  a new version means a full new installation from scratch to get it
+  working again reliably.
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Skolelinux is based on Debian/stable, and therefore always a
+  little outdated in terms of program versions compared to Edubuntu or
+  similar educational Linux distros, which rather use Debian/testing
+  as their base.
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Skolelinux has some very self-opinionated and stubborn default
+  configuration which in my opinion adds unnecessary complexity and is
+  not always suitable for a schools needs, the preset network
+  configuration is actually a core definition feature of Skolelinux
+  and not easy to change, so schools sometimes have to change their
+  network configuration to make it &quot;Skolelinux-compatible&quot;.
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Some proposed extensions, which were made available as
+  contribution, like secure examination mode and lecture material
+  distribution and collection, were not accepted into the mainline
+  Skolelinux development and are now not easy to maintain in the
+  future because of Skolelinux somewhat undeterministic update
+  schemes.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Skolelinux has only a very tiny number of base developers
+  compared to Debian.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For these reasons and experience from our project, I would now
+rather consider using plain Debian for schools next time, until
+Skolelinux is more closely integrated into Debian and becomes
+upgradeable without reinstallation.&lt;/p&gt;

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

-&lt;p&gt;My main laptop dual-boots between Debian and Windows 7. I was
-Windows free for years but started dual-booting again last year for
-some games which help me focus and relax (Starcraft II in
-particular). Gaming support on Linux is improving in leaps and bounds
-so I suppose I&#39;ll soon be able to regain that disk space :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Besides that I rely on Icedove, Chromium, Terminator, Byobu, irssi,
-git, Tomboy, KVM, VLC and LibreOffice. Recently I&#39;ve been torn on
-which desktop environment I like and I&#39;m taking some refuge in Xfce
-while I figure that out. I like tools that keep things simple. I enjoy
-Python and shell scripting. I went to an Arduino workshop recently and
-it was awesome seeing how easy and simple the IDE software was to get
-up and running in Debian compared to the users running Windows and OS
-X.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I also use mc which some people frown upon slightly. I got used to
-using Norton Commander in the early 90&#39;s and it stuck (I think the
-people who sneer at it is just jealous that they don&#39;t know how to use
-it :p)
+&lt;p&gt;GNU/Linux with LXDE desktop, bash for interactive dialog and
+programming, texlive for documentation and correspondence,
+occasionally LibreOffice for document format conversion. Various
+programming languages for teaching.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&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 think trying to force it is unproductive. I also think that in
-many cases it&#39;s appropriate for schools to use non-free systems and I
-don&#39;t think that there&#39;s any particular moral or ethical problem with
-that.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I do think though that free software can already solve so so many
-problems in educational institutions and it&#39;s just a shame not taking
-advantage of that.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I also think that some curricula need serious review. For example,
-some areas of the world rely heavily on very specific versions of MS
-Office, teaching students to parrot menu items instead of learning the
-general concepts. I think that&#39;s very unproductive because firstly, MS
-Office&#39;s interface changes drastically every few years and on top of
-that it also locks in a generation to a product that might not be the
-best solution for them.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;To answer your question, I believe that the right strategy is to
-educate and inform, giving someone the information they require to
-make a decision that would work for them.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Strong arguments are&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Knowledge is free, and so should be methods and tools for
+    teaching and learning.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Students can learn with and use the same software at school, at
+    home, and at their working place without running into license or
+    conversion problems.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;Closed source or proprietary software hides knowledge rather
+    than exposing it, and proprietary software vendors try to bind
+    customers to certain products.  But teachers need to teach
+    science, not products.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;If you have everything you for daily work as open source, what
+    would you need proprietary software for?&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fixing_the_Linux_black_screen_of_death_on_machines_with_Intel_HD_video.html</link>

-                <pubDate>Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;When installing RedHat, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu on some machines,
-the screen just turn black when Linux boot, either during installation
-or on first boot from the hard disk.  I&#39;ve seen it once in a while the
-last few years, but only recently understood the cause.  I&#39;ve seen it
-on HP laptops, and on my latest acquaintance the Packard Bell laptop.
-The reason seem to be in the wiring of some laptops.  The system to
-control the screen background light is inverted, so when Linux try to
-turn the brightness fully on, it end up turning it off instead.  I do
-not know which Linux drivers are affected, but this post is about the
-i915 driver used by the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv&quot;&gt;Packard Bell
-EasyNote LV&lt;/a&gt;, Thinkpad X40 and many other laptops.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The problem can be worked around two ways.  Either by adding
-i915.invert_brightness=1 as a kernel option, or by adding a file in
-/etc/modprobe.d/ to tell modprobe to add the invert_brightness=1
-option when it load the i915 kernel module.  On Debian and Ubuntu, it
-can be done by running these commands as root:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-echo options i915 invert_brightness=1 | tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
-update-initramfs -u -k all
-&lt;/pre&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Since March 2012 there is
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4dca20efb1a9c2efefc28ad2867e5d6c3f5e1955&quot;&gt;a
-mechanism in the Linux kernel&lt;/a&gt; to tell the i915 driver which
-hardware have this problem, and get the driver to invert the
-brightness setting automatically.  To use it, one need to add a row in
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c&quot;&gt;the
-intel_quirks array&lt;/a&gt; in the driver source
-&lt;tt&gt;drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c&lt;/tt&gt; (look for &quot;&lt;tt&gt;static
-struct intel_quirk intel_quirks&lt;/tt&gt;&quot;), specifying the PCI device
-number (vendor number 8086 is assumed) and subdevice vendor and device
-number.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My Packard Bell EasyNote LV got this output from &lt;tt&gt;lspci
--vvnn&lt;/tt&gt; for the video card in question:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation \
-    3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0156] \

- Region 4: I/O ports at 4000 [size=64]
- Expansion ROM at &lt;unassigned&gt; [disabled]
- Capabilities: &lt;access denied&gt;
- Kernel driver in use: i915
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The resulting intel_quirks entry would then look like this:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-struct intel_quirk intel_quirks[] = {
-       ...
-        /* Packard Bell EasyNote LV11HC needs invert brightness quirk */
-       { 0x0156, 0x1025, 0x0688, quirk_invert_brightness },
-       ...
-}
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;According to the kernel module instructions (as seen using
-&lt;tt&gt;modinfo i915&lt;/tt&gt;), information about hardware needing the
-invert_brightness flag should be sent to the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel&quot;&gt;dri-devel
-(at) lists.freedesktop.org&lt;/a&gt; mailing list to reach the kernel
-developers.  But my email about the laptop sent 2013-06-03 have not
-yet shown up in
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-June/thread.html&quot;&gt;the
-web archive for the mailing list&lt;/a&gt;, so I suspect they do not accept
-emails from non-subscribers.  Because of this, I sent my patch also to
-the Debian bug tracking system instead as
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/710938&quot;&gt;BTS report #710938&lt;/a&gt;, to make
-sure the patch is not lost.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, it is not enough to fix the kernel to get Laptops
-with this problem working properly with Linux.  If you use Gnome, your
-worries should be over at this point.  But if you use KDE, there is
-something in KDE ignoring the invert_brightness setting and turning on
-the screen during login.  I&#39;ve reported it to Debian as
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/711237&quot;&gt;BTS report #711237&lt;/a&gt;, and
-have no idea yet how to figure out exactly what subsystem is doing
-this.  Perhaps you can help?  Perhaps you know what the Gnome
-developers did to handle this, and this can give a clue to the KDE
-developers?  Or you know where in KDE the screen brightness is changed
-during login?  If so, please update the BTS report (or get in touch if
-you do not know how to update BTS).&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;If you want the ability to electronically communicate directly with
+your neighbors and friends using a network controlled by your peers in
+stead of centrally controlled by a few corporations, or would like to
+experiment with interesting network technology, the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dugnadsnett.no/&quot;&gt;Dugnasnett for alle i Oslo&lt;/a&gt;
+might be project for you.  39 mesh nodes are currently being planned,
+in the freshly started initiative from NUUG and Hackeriet to create a
+wireless community network.  The work is inspired by
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://freifunk.net/&quot;&gt;Freifunk&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.awmn.net/&quot;&gt;Athens Wireless Metropolitan
+Network&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roofnet&quot;&gt;Roofnet&lt;/a&gt;
+and other successful mesh networks around the globe.  Two days ago we
+held a workshop to try to get people started on setting up their own
+mesh node, and there we decided to create a new mailing list
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/dugnadsnett&quot;&gt;dugnadsnett
+(at) nuug.no&lt;/a&gt; and IRC channel
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/#dugnadsnett.no&quot;&gt;#dugnadsnett.no&lt;/a&gt; to
+coordinate the work.  See also the NUUG blog post
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/news/E_postliste_og_IRC_kanal_for_Dugnadsnett_for_alle_i_Oslo.shtml&quot;&gt;announcing

+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/_pent_m_te_p__onsdag_om_bruken_av_Microsoft_Exchange_ved_Universitetet_i_Oslo.html&quot;&gt;skrev
+i juni om protestene&lt;/a&gt; på planene til min arbeidsplass,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uio.no/&quot;&gt;Universitetet i Oslo&lt;/a&gt;, om å gå bort fra
+fri programvare- og åpne standardløsninger for å håndtere epost,
+vekk fra IETF-standarden SIEVE for filtrering av epost og over til
+godseide spesifikasjoner og epostsystemet Microsoft Exchange.
+Protestene har fått litt ny omtale i media de siste dagene, i tillegg
+til de oppslagene som kom i mai.&lt;/p&gt;

+  må ha kontroll over sitt eget epostsystem&lt;/a&gt; - Uniforum&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Prosjektledelsen har fortalt at dette skal fungere like godt for
+Linux-brukere som for brukere av Microsoft Windows og Apple MacOSX,
+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
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uniforum.uio.no/&quot;&gt;Uniforum&lt;/a&gt; og fortelle om hvor
+greit det er å bruke Exchange i kryss-platform-miljøer?  De jeg har
+snakket med sier en greit får lest e-posten sin hvis Exchange har
+slått på IMAP-funksjonalitet, men at kalender og møtebooking ikke
+fungerer godt for Linux-klienter. Jeg har ingen personlig erfaring å
+komme med, så jeg er nysgjerrig på hva andre kan dele av erfaringer
+med universitetet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mitt ankerpunkt mot å bytte ut fri programvare som fungerer godt
+med godseid programvare er at en mister kontroll over egen
+infrastruktur, låser seg inn i en løsning det vil bli dyrt å komme ut
+av, uten at en får funksjonalitet en ikke kunne skaffet seg med fri
+programvare, eventuelt videreutviklet med de pengene som brukes på
+overgangen til MS Exchange.  Personlig planlegger jeg å fortsette å
+laste ned all eposten min til lokal maskin for indeksering og lesing
+med &lt;a href==&quot;http://notmuchmail.org&quot;&gt;notmuch&lt;/a&gt;, så jeg håper jeg
+ikke blir veldig skadelidende av overgangen.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dinis.linguateca.pt/Diana/ImotMSUiO.html&quot;&gt;Underskriftslista
+for oss som er mot endringen&lt;/a&gt;, som omtales i artiklene, er fortsatt
+åpen for de som vil signere på oppropet.  Akkurat nå er det 298
+personer som har signert.&lt;/p&gt;
