-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_backport_bitcoin_qt_version_0_7_2_2_to_Debian_Squeeze.html">last
-bitcoin related blog post</a> mentioned that the new
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin">bitcoin package</a> for
-Debian was waiting in NEW. It was accepted by the Debian ftp-masters
-2013-01-19, and have been available in unstable since then. It was
-automatically copied to Ubuntu, and is available in their Raring
-version too.</p>
-
-<p>But there is a strange problem with the build that block this new
-version from being available on the i386 and kfreebsd-i386
-architectures. For some strange reason, the autobuilders in Debian
-for these architectures fail to run the test suite on these
-architectures (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/672524">BTS #672524</a>).
-We are so far unable to reproduce it when building it manually, and
-no-one have been able to propose a fix. If you got an idea what is
-failing, please let us know via the BTS.</p>
-
-<p>One feature that is annoying me with of the bitcoin client, because
-I often run low on disk space, is the fact that the client will exit
-if it run short on space (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/696715">BTS
-#696715</a>). So make sure you have enough disk space when you run
-it. :)</p>
-
-<p>As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
-activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address

- <div class="body"><p>Yesterday, I
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/First_prototype_ready_making_hardware_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">asked
-for testers</a> for my prototype for making Debian better at handling
-pluggable hardware devices, which I
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">set
-out to create</a> earlier this month. Several valuable testers showed
-up, and caused me to really want to to open up the development to more
-people. But before I did this, I want to come up with a sensible name
-for this project. Today I finally decided on a new name, and I have
-renamed the project from hw-support-handler to this new name. In the
-process, I moved the source to git and made it available as a
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/isenkram.git">collab-maint</a>
-repository in Debian. The new name? It is <strong>Isenkram</strong>.
-To fetch and build the latest version of the source, use</p>
-
-<pre>
-git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/isenkram.git
-cd isenkram && git-buildpackage -us -uc
-</pre>
-
-<p>I have not yet adjusted all files to use the new name yet. If you
-want to hack on the source or improve the package, please go ahead.
-But please talk to me first on IRC or via email before you do major
-changes, to make sure we do not step on each others toes. :)</p>
-
-<p>If you wonder what 'isenkram' is, it is a Norwegian word for iron
-stuff, typically meaning tools, nails, screws, etc. Typical hardware
-stuff, in other words. I've been told it is the Norwegian variant of
-the German word eisenkram, for those that are familiar with that
-word.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-26</strong>: Added -us -us to build
-instructions, to avoid confusing people with an error from the signing
-process.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-27</strong>: Switch to HTTP URL for the git
-clone argument to avoid the need for authentication.</p>

+ <div class="body"><p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project</a> is making great progress and made its second Wheezy based
+release today. This is the release announcement:</p>

+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
+on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
+configured school network. Immediatly 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.</p>
+
+<p>This is the first test release based on Wheezy (which currently is
+not released yet). Basically this is an updated and slightly improved
+version compared to the Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Install freemind (0.9.0) by default, and stop installing vym by
+ default.</li>
+ <li>Install chromium (26.0.1410.43) by default.</li>
+ <li>Install goplay (0.5-1.1) to make golearn available by default.</li>
+ <li>Updated support for Japanese input methods, now based on
+ ibus-anthy.</li>
+</ul>
