- <div class="date">10th May 2015</div>
- <div class="body"><p>5 days ago, the Norwegian Parliament decided, unanimously, that all
-citizens of Norway, no matter if they are suspected of something
-criminal or not, are
-<a href="https://www.holderdeord.no/votes/1430838871e">required to
-give fingerprints to the police</a> (vote details from Holder de
-ord). The law make it sound like it will be optional, but in a few
-years there will be no option any more. The ID will be required to
-vote, to get a bank account, a bank card, to change address on the
-post office, to receive an electronic ID or to get a drivers license
-and many other tasks required to function in Norway. The banks plan
-to stop providing their own ID on the bank cards when this new
-national ID is introduced, and the national road authorities plan to
-change the drivers license to no longer be usable as identity cards.
-In effect, to function as a citizen in Norway a national ID card will
-be required, and to get it one need to provide the fingerprints to
-the police.</p>
-
-<p>In addition to handing the fingerprint to the police (which
-promised to not make a copy of the fingerprint image at that point in
-time, but say nothing about doing it later), a picture of the
-fingerprint will be stored on the RFID chip, along with a picture of
-the face and other information about the person. Some of the
-information will be encrypted, but the encryption will be the same
-system as currently used in the passports. The codes to decrypt will
-be available to a lot of government offices and their suppliers around
-the globe, but for those that do now know anyone in those circles it
-is good to know that
-
-<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2006/nov/17/news.homeaffairs">the
-encryption is already broken</a>. And they
-<a href="http://www.networkworld.com/article/2215057/wireless/bad-guys-could-read-rfid-passports-at-217-feet--maybe-a-lot-more.html">can
-be read from 70 meters away</a>. This can be mitigated a bit by
-keeping it in a Faraday cage (metal box or metal wire container), but
-one will be required to take it out of there often enough to expose
-ones private and personal information to a lot of people that have no
-business getting access to that information.</p>
-
-<p>The new Norwegian national IDs are a vehicle for identity theft,
-and I feel sorry for us all having politicians accepting such invasion
-of privacy without any objections. So are the Norwegian passports,
-but it has been possible to function in Norway without those so far.
-That option is going away with the passing of the new law. In this, I
-envy the Germans, because for them it is optional how much biometric
-information is stored in their national ID.</p>
-
-<p>And if forced collection of fingerprints was not bad enough, the
-information collected in the national ID card register can be handed
-over to foreign intelligence services and police authorities, "when
-extradition is not considered disproportionate".</p>

+hvem som leser på sykehusets nettsted, med noen som samarbeider med et

+
+<p>Tenk om flere sykehus, kommuner, helsestasjoner, universitet,

+politiske interesser og sympatier samt hvilke argumenter som har best
+effekt på beslutningstagere og måter de kan påvirkes. Ville det gitt
+grunn til bekymring?</p>
+
+<p>Høres det ut som noe tatt ut fra fantasien til George Orwell,
+forfatteren av dystopien 1984? Det er virkeligheten i Norge i dag,
+takket være bruken av statistikktjenester som Google Analytics.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Du kan beskytte deg</strong></p>
+
+<p>Men borgerne har et forsvar mot dette angrepet på privatsfæren.
+Dagens nettlesere har utvidelser som støtter å blokkere slik
+utlevering av informasjon. Personlig bruker jeg Privacy Badger,
+Ghostery, NoScript og AdBlock, og anbefaler alle å gjøre noe
+tilsvarende. Merk at noen av verktøyene lekker informasjon, i tillegg
+til å gjøre en nyttig jobb, så det er lurt å bruke flere sammen. I
+tillegg bør hver og en av oss sende inn protest til organisasjonene
+bak nettsteder som bidrar til dette inngrepet i privatsfæren.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvem bidrar til overvåkningen?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Takket være Ghostery la jeg merke til at flere og flere norske
+nettsteder begynte å la Google Analytics overvåke brukerne. Jeg ble
+nysgjerrig på hvor mange det gjaldt, og gikk igjennom ca. 2700 norske
+nettsteder, hovedsakelig offentlig forvaltning. Jeg laget et system
+for å koble seg opp automatisk og sjekke hvor nettstedene spredte
+informasjon om besøket. Jeg ble overrasket både over omfanget og hva
+slags nettsteder som rapporterer besøksinformasjon ut av landet.
+Omtrent 70 prosent av de 2700 sender informasjon til Google Analytics.
+Noen tilfeldige eksempler er Akershus Universitetssykehus, Sykehuset
+Østfold, Lommelegen, Oslo krisesenter, Stortinget, den norske
+regjering, de fleste politiske partier på Stortinget, NAV, Altinn,
+NRK, TV2, Helse Førde, Helse Stavanger, Oslo kommune,
+Nasjonalbiblioteket, Pasientombudet, Kongehuset, Politiet,
+Teknologirådet, Tollvesenet, Norsk romsenter, Forsvarsbygg og
+Sivilforsvaret. Og det er mange flere.</p>
+
+<p>Hvordan kan det offentlige Norge omfavne en slik praksis? Det er
+gode hensikter bak. Google har laget en god tjeneste for
+nettstedseiere, der de uten å betale med noe annet enn en bit av de
+besøkenes privatsfære får tilgang til nyttig og presis statistikk over
+nettstedets bruk ved å besøke netttjenesten hos Google. De færreste
+merker ulempene angrepet på privatsfæren som nettstedene og Google
+utgjør.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Hvordan foregår det?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I nettsider kan nettsteder legge inn lenker til programkode som
+skal kjøres av brukerens nettleser. De som tar i bruk Google
+Analytics legger typisk inn lenke til et javascript-program hos Google
+som ber nettleseren ta kontakt med Google og dele IP-adresse, side
+besøkt, aktuelle cookies og endel informasjon om nettleseren med
+Google Analytics. Programmet trenger ikke være det samme for alle som
+henter det fra Google. Det finnes et Google Analytics-tilvalg kalt
+«anonymisering» som nettstedeier kan ta i bruk. Dette instruerer det
+omtalte programmet om å be Google slette deler av den oversendte
+IP-adressen. Full IP-adresse sendes likevel over og er tilgjengelig
+for alle som snapper opp informasjonen underveis.</p>
+
+<p>Takket være varsleren Edward Snowden, som bidro til uvurderlig
+dokumentasjon på snurpenot-overvåkningen som nordmenn blir utsatt for,
+vet vi at Google samarbeider med USAs etteretning som avlytter trafikk
+sendt til Google Analytics.</p>
+
+<p>Men allerede før Snowden var det bekreftet at både britiske GCHQ og
+USAs NSA avlytter og lagrer blant annet Internett-trafikk som er innom
+et av landene, i tillegg til at FRA i Sverige avlytter og lagrer
+trafikk som passerte grensa til Sverige.</p>
+
+<p>Og som
+<a href="http://www.dn.no/tekno/2013/02/03/amerikanerne-kan-se-hvert-ord-du-skriver">Datatilsynet
+sa til Dagens Næringsliv i 2013</a> kunne de vanskelig nekte bruk av
+skytjenester som Google Analytics når Norge var bundet av EUs «Safe
+Harbour»-avtale med USA. De måtte derfor se bort fra
+f.eks. FISAAA-loven (som lar NSA avlytte Internett-trafikk) i sine
+vurderinger. Når nå EUs «Safe Harbour»-avtale er underkjent, og det
+foreslås å bruke individuell avtalerett mellom selskaper som juridisk
+grunnlag for å sende personopplysninger til USA, er det greit å huske
+på at FISAA-loven og andre som brukes av USA som grunnlag for
+masseovervåkning overstyrer slike avtaler.</p>
+
+<p>For øvrig burde varsleren Edward Snowden få politisk asyl i
+Norge.</p>

- <div class="date"> 1st May 2015</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Many years ago, a friend of mine calculated how much it would cost
-to store the sound of all phone calls in Norway, and came up with the
-cost of around 20 million NOK (2.4 mill EUR) for all the calls in a
-year. I got curious and wondered what the same calculation would look
-like today. To do so one need an idea of how much data storage is
-needed for each minute of sound, how many minutes all the calls in
-Norway sums up to, and the cost of data storage.</p>
-
-<p>The 2005 numbers are from
-<a href="http://www.digi.no/analyser/2005/10/04/vi-prater-stadig-mindre-i-roret">digi.no</a>,
-the 2012 numbers are from
-<a href="http://www.nkom.no/aktuelt/nyheter/fortsatt-vekst-i-det-norske-ekommarkedet">a
-NKOM report</a>, and I got the 2013 numbers after asking NKOM via
-email. I was told the numbers for 2014 will be presented May 20th,
-and decided not to wait for those, as I doubt they will be very
-different from the numbers from 2013.</p>
-
-<p>The amount of data storage per minute sound depend on the wanted
-quality, and for phone calls it is generally believed that 8 Kbit/s is
-enough. See for example a
-<a href="http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice/voice-quality/7934-bwidth-consume.html#topic1">summary
-on voice quality from Cisco</a> for some alternatives. 8 Kbit/s is 60
-Kbytes/min, and this can be multiplied with the number of call minutes
-to get the storage requirements.</p>
-
-<p>Storage prices varies a lot, depending on speed, backup strategies,
-availability requirements etc. But a simple way to calculate can be
-to use the price of a TiB-disk (around 1000 NOK / 120 EUR) and double
-it to take space, power and redundancy into account. It could be much
-higher with high speed and good redundancy requirements.</p>
-
-<p>But back to the question, What would it cost to store all phone
-calls in Norway? Not much. Here is a small table showing the
-estimated cost, which is within the budget constraint of most medium
-and large organisations:</p>
-
-<table border="1">
-<tr><th>Year</th><th>Call minutes</th><th>Size</th><th>Price in NOK / EUR</th></tr>
-<tr><td>2005</td><td align="right">24 000 000 000</td><td align="right">1.3 PiB</td><td align="right">3 mill / 358 000</td></tr>
-<tr><td>2012</td><td align="right">18 000 000 000</td><td align="right">1.0 PiB</td><td align="right">2.2 mill / 262 000</td></tr>
-<tr><td>2013</td><td align="right">17 000 000 000</td><td align="right">950 TiB</td><td align="right">2.1 mill / 250 000</td></tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>This is the cost of buying the storage. Maintenance need to be
-taken into account too, but calculating that is left as an exercise
-for the reader. But it is obvious to me from those numbers that
-recording the sound of all phone calls in Norway is not going to be
-stopped because it is too expensive. I wonder if someone already is
-collecting the data?</p>

+ <div class="body"><p>Norge er aktiv i Trade in Services Agreement-forhandlingene, og
+regjeringen forteller at

+vil sikre norske tjenesteeksportører forutsigbar og
+ikke-diskriminerende adgang til utenlandske tjenestemarkeder</a>».
+Det er mulig at det stemmer. Men den gjør mye mer enn det. Avtalen
+forhandles i hemmelighet, og kun takket være
+<a href="https://wikileaks.org/tisa/">Wikileaks</a> er
+utkast og biter kjent i offentligheten. Det som er blitt kjent er

+ <div class="date"> 3rd November 2015</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>In Norway, all government offices are required by law to keep a
+list of every document or letter arriving and leaving their offices.
+Internal notes should also be documented. The document list (called a mail
+journal - "postjournal" in Norwegian) is public information and thanks
+to the Norwegian Freedom of Information Act (Offentleglova) the mail
+journal is available for everyone. Most offices even publish the mail
+journal on their web pages, as PDFs or tables in web pages. The state-level offices even have a shared web based search service (called
+<a href="https://www.oep.no/">Offentlig Elektronisk Postjournal -
+OEP</a>) to make it possible to search the entries in the list. Not
+all journal entries show up on OEP, and the search service is hard to
+use, but OEP does make it easier to find at least some interesting
+journal entries .</p>
+
+<p>In 2012 I came across a document in the mail journal for the
+Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications on OEP that
+piqued my interest. The title of the document was
+"<a href="https://www.oep.no/search/resultSingle.html?journalPostId=4192362">Internet
+Governance and how it affects national security</a>" (Norwegian:
+"Internet Governance og påvirkning på nasjonal sikkerhet"). The
+document date was 2012-05-22, and it was said to be sent from the
+"Permanent Mission of Norway to the United Nations". I asked for a
+copy, but my request was rejected with a reference to a legal clause said to authorize them to reject it
+(<a href="http://lovdata.no/lov/2006-05-19-16/§20">offentleglova § 20,
+letter c</a>) and an explanation that the document was exempt because
+of foreign policy interests as it contained information related to the
+Norwegian negotiating position, negotiating strategies or similar. I
+was told the information in the document related to the ongoing
+negotiation in the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). The
+explanation made sense to me in early January 2013, as a ITU
+conference in Dubay discussing Internet Governance
+(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunication_Union#World_Conference_on_International_Telecommunications_2012_.28WCIT-12.29">World
+Conference on International Telecommunications - WCIT-12</a>) had just
+ended,
+<a href="http://www.digi.no/kommentarer/2012/12/18/tvil-om-usas-rolle-pa-teletoppmote">reportedly
+in chaos</a> when USA walked out of the negotiations and 25 countries
+including Norway refused to sign the new treaty. It seemed
+reasonable to believe talks were still going on a few weeks later.
+Norway was represented at the ITU meeting by two authorities, the
+<a href="http://www.nkom.no/">Norwegian Communications Authority</a>
+and the <a href="https://www.regjeringen.no/no/dep/sd/">Ministry of
+Transport and Communications</a>. This might be the reason the letter
+was sent to the ministry. As I was unable to find the document in the
+mail journal of any Norwegian UN mission, I asked the ministry who had
+sent the document to the ministry, and was told that it was the Deputy
+Permanent Representative with the Permanent Mission of Norway in
+Geneva.</p>
+
+<p>Three years later, I was still curious about the content of that
+document, and again asked for a copy, believing the negotiation was
+over now. This time
+<a href="https://mimesbronn.no/request/kopi_av_dokumenter_i_sak_2012914">I
+asked both the Ministry of Transport and Communications as the
+receiver</a> and
+<a href="https://mimesbronn.no/request/brev_om_internet_governance_og_p">asked
+the Permanent Mission of Norway in Geneva as the sender</a> for a
+copy, to see if they both agreed that it should be withheld from the
+public. The ministry upheld its rejection quoting the same law
+reference as before, while the permanent mission rejected it quoting a
+different clause
+(<a href="http://lovdata.no/lov/2006-05-19-16/§20">offentleglova § 20
+letter b</a>), claiming that they were required to keep the
+content of the document from the public because it contained
+information given to Norway with the expressed or implied expectation
+that the information should not be made public. I asked the permanent
+mission for an explanation, and was told that the document contained
+an account from a meeting held in the Pentagon for a limited group of NATO
+nations where the organiser of the meeting did not intend the content
+of the meeting to be publicly known. They explained that giving me a
+copy might cause Norway to not get access to similar information in
+the future and thus hurt the future foreign interests of Norway. They
+also explained that the Permanent Mission of Norway in Geneva was not
+the author of the document, they only got a copy of it, and because of
+this had not listed it in their mail journal.</p>
+
+<p>Armed with this
+knowledge I asked the Ministry to reconsider and asked who was the
+author of the document, now realising that it was not same as the
+"sender" according to Ministry of Transport and Communications. The
+ministry upheld its rejection but told me the name of the author of
+the document. According to
+<a href="https://www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/unga69_rapport1/id2001204/">a
+government report</a> the author was with the Permanent Mission of
+Norway in New York a bit more than a year later (2014-09-22), so I
+guessed that might be the office responsible for writing and sending
+the report initially and
+<a href="https://www.mimesbronn.no/request/mote_2012_i_pentagon_om_itu">asked
+them for a copy</a> but I was obviously wrong as I was told that the
+document was unknown to them and that the author did not work there
+when the document was written. Next, I asked the Permanent Mission of
+Norway in Geneva and the Foreign Ministry to reconsider and at least
+tell me who sent the document to Deputy Permanent Representative with
+the Permanent Mission of Norway in Geneva. The Foreign Ministry also
+upheld its rejection, but told me that the person sending the document
+to Permanent Mission of Norway in Geneva was the defence attaché with
+the Norwegian Embassy in Washington. I do not know if this is the
+same person as the author of the document.</p>
+
+<p>If I understand the situation correctly, someone capable of
+inviting selected NATO nations to a meeting in Pentagon organised a
+meeting where someone representing the Norwegian defence attaché in
+Washington attended, and the account from this meeting is interpreted
+by the Ministry of Transport and Communications to expose Norways
+negotiating position, negotiating strategies and similar regarding the
+ITU negotiations on Internet Governance. It is truly amazing what can
+be derived from mere meta-data.</p>
+
+<p>I wonder which NATO countries besides Norway attended this meeting?
+And what exactly was said and done at the meeting? Anyone know?</p>

- <div class="date">15th April 2015</div>
- <div class="body"><p>It was a surprise to me to learn that project to create a complete
-computer system for schools I've involved in,
-<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a>, was
-being used in India. But apparently it is, and I managed to get an
-interview with one of the friends of the project there, Shirish
-Agarwal.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-
-<p>My name is Shirish Agarwal. Based out of the educational and
-historical city of Pune, from the western state of Maharashtra, India.
-My bread comes from giving training, giving policy tips,
-installations on free software to mom and pop shops in different
-fields from Desktop publishing to retail shops as well as work with
-few software start-ups as well.</p>
-
-<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
-project?</strong></p>
-
-<p>It started innocently enough. I have been using Debian for a few
-years and in one local minidebconf / debutsav I was asked if there was
-anything for schools or education. I had worked / played with free
-educational softwares such as Gcompris and Stellarium for my many
-nieces and nephews so researched and found Debian Edu or Skolelinux as
-it was known then. Since then I have started using the various
-education meta-packages provided by the project.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>It's closest I have seen where a package full of educational
-software are packed, which are free and open (both literally and
-figuratively). Even if I take the simplest software which is
-gcompris, the number of activities therein are amazing. Another one of
-the softwares that I have liked for a long time is stellarium. Even
-pysycache is cool except for couple of issues I encountered
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/781841">#781841</a> and
-<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/781842">#781842</a>.</p>
-
-<p>I prefer software installed on the system over web based solutions,
-as a web site can disappear any time but the software on disk has the
-possibility of a larger life span. Of course with both it's more a
-question if it has enough users who make it fun or sustainable or both
-for the developer per-se.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I do see that the Debian Edu team seems to be short-handed and I
-think more efforts should be made to make it popular and ask and take
-help from people and the larger community wherever possible.</p>
-
-<p>I don't see any disadvantage to use Skolelinux apart from the fact
-that most apps. are generic which is good or bad how you see it.
-However, saying that I do acknowledge the fact that the canvas is
-pretty big and there are lot of interesting ideas that could be done
-but for reasons not known not done or if done I don't know about them.
-Let me share some of the ideas (these are more upstream based but
-still) I have had for a long time :</p>
-
-<p>1. Classical maths question of two trains in opposing directions
-each running @x kmph/mph at y distance, when they will meet and how
-far would each travel and similar questions like these.
-
-<p>The computer is a fantastic system where questions like these can
-be drawn, animated and the methodology and answers teased out in
-interactive manner. While sites such as the
-<a href="http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/faq.two.trains.html">Ask
-Dr. Math FAQ on The Two Trains problem</a> (as an example or point of
-inspiration) can be used there is lot more that can be done. I dunno
-if there is a free software which does something like this. The idea
-being a blend of objects + animation + interaction which does
-this. The whole interaction could be gamified with points or sounds or
-colourful celebration whenever the user gets even part of the question
-or/and methodology right. That would help reinforce good behaviour.
-This understanding could be used to share/showcase everything from how
-the first wheel came to be, to evolution to how astronomy started,
-psychics and everything in-between.</p>
-
-<p>One specific idea in the train part was having the Linux mascot on
-one train and the BSD or GNU mascot on the other train and they
-meeting somewhere in-between. Characters from blender movies could
-also be used.</p>
-
-<p>2. Loads of crossword-puzzles with reference to subjects: We have
-enormous data sets in Wikipedia and Wikitionary. I don't think it
-should be a big job to design crossword puzzles. Using categories and
-sub-categories it should be doable to have Q&A single word answers
-from the existing data-sets. What would make it easy or hard could be
-the length of the word + existence of many or few vowels depending on
-the user's input.</p>
-
-<p>3. Jigsaw puzzles - We already have a great software called
-palapeli with number of slicers making it pretty interesting. What
-needs to be done is to download large number of public domain and
-copyleft images, tease and use IPTC tags to categorise them into
-nature, history etc. and let it loose. This could turn to be really
-huge collection of images. One source could be taken from
-commons.wikimedia.org, others could be huge collection of royalty-free
-stock photos. Potential is immense.</p>
-
-<p>Apart from this, free software suffers in two directions, we lag
-both in development (of using new features per-se) and maintenance a
-lot. This is more so in educational software as these applications
-need to be timely and the opportunity cost of missing deadlines is
-immense. If we are able to solve issues of funding for development and
-maintenance of such software I don't see any big difficulties. I know
-of few start-ups in and around India who would love to develop and
-maintain such software if funding issues could be solved.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
-
-<p>That would be huge list. Some of the softwares are obviously apt,
-aptitude, debdelta, leafpad, the shell of course (zsh nowadays),
-quassel for IRC. In games I use shisen-sho while card-games are evenly
-between kpat and Aiselriot. In desktops it's a tie between
-gnome-flashback and mate.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I think it should first start with using specific FOSS apps. in
-whatever environment they are. If it's MS-Windows or Mac so be it.
-Once they are habitual with the apps. and there is buy-in from the
-school management then it could be installed anywhere. Most of the
-people now understand the concept of a repository because of the
-various online stores so it isn't hard to convince on that front.</p>
-
-<p>What is harder is having enough people with technical skills and
-passion to service them. If you get buy-in from one or two teachers
-then ideas like above could also be asked to be done as a project as
-well.</p>
-
-<p>I think where we fall short more than anything is in marketing. For
-instance, Debian has this whole range of fonts in its archive but
-there isn't even a page where all those different fonts in the La
-Ipsum format could be tried out for newcomers.</p>
-
-<p>One of the issues faced constantly in installations is with updates
-and upgrades. People have this myth that each update and upgrade
-means the user interface will / has to change. I have seen this
-innumerable times. That perhaps is one of the reasons which browsers
-like Iceweasel / Firefox change user interfaces so much, not because
-it might be needed or be functional but because people believe that
-changed user interfaces are better. This, can easily be pointed with
-the user interfaces changed with almost every MS-Windows and Mac OS
-releases.</p>
-
-<p>The problems with Debian Edu for deployment are many. The biggest
-is the huge gap between what is taught in schools and what Debian Edu
-is aimed at.
-
-<p>Me and my friends did teach on week-ends in a government school for
-around 2 years, and
-<a href="https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2012/10/08/sharings/">gathered
-some experience</a> there. Some of the things we learnt/discovered
-there was :</p>
-
-<ol>
-
- <li>Most of the teachers are very territorial about their subjects
- and they do not want you to teach anything out of the
- portion/syllabus given.</li>
-
- <li>They want any activity on the system in accordance to whatever
- is in the syllabus.</li>
-
- <li>There are huge barriers both with the English language and at
- times with objects or whatever. An example, let's say in gcompris
- you have objects falling down and you have to name them and let's
- say the falling object is a hat or a fedora hat, this would not be
- as recognizable as say a
- <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puneri_Pagadi">Puneri
- Pagdi</a> so there is need to inject local objects, words wherever
- possible. Especially for word-games there are so many hindi words
- which have become part of english vocabulary (for instance in
- parley), those could be made into a hinglish collection or
- something but that is something for upstream to do.</li>

+ <div class="body"><p>Like før kl. 11 i dag leverte jeg fem esker med gaveinnpakkede
+bøker til Stortinget, for utdeling til alle stortingsrepresentanter.
+Det ble etterfulgt av følgende pressemelding. Stor takk til NUUG for
+lån av epostliste for å sende ut pressemeldingen.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p><strong>Er opphavsretten for streng, spør ny bok</strong></p>
+
+<p>I dag kommer boken «<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Fri
+kultur</a>» av Lawrence Lessig ut på norsk. Boken handler om
+utviklingen og utvidelsene opphavsretten har hatt de siste 40 årene.
+Boken er i dag gitt i gave til alle stortingsrepresentantene.
+Oversetter og utgiver Petter Reinholdtsen håper Stortinget vil tenke
+seg om to ganger neste gang det er snakk om utvidelse av
+opphavsretten.</p>
+
+<p>Boken forteller om hvordan store medieaktører ved hjelp av
+opphavsretten bruker teknologi til å begrense kulturen og kontrollere
+kreativiteten. Den er skrevet av stifteren av
+<a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons</a>, professor
+Lawrence Lessig, som for tiden er med i kampen om å bli Demokratenes
+<a href="https://lessig2016.us/">presidentkandidat i USA sitt
+presidentvalg i 2016</a>. Lessig ble sist omtalt i norske medier da
+NRK i høst viste dokumentaren «Kampen for et demokratisk internett»
+som også er
+<a href="https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz">tilgjengelig
+fra The Internet Archive</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Boken beskriver hvordan opphavsrettens makt i USA har blitt
+betydelig utvidet etter 1974 langs fem kritiske akser: varighet (fra
+32 til 95 år), omfang (fra utgivere til alle), rekkevidde (gjelder nå
+enhver fremvisning via datamaskin), kontroll (avledede verk er
+definert så bredt at i praksis alle nye åndsverk risikerer søksmål fra
+en opphavsrettsinnehaver) og til sist maktkonsentrasjon og integrering
+av mediebransjen. Den dokumenterer også hvordan medieindustrien har
+lyktes med å bruke rettsvesenet til å begrense konkurranse, og i
+praksis har skaffet seg vetorett over teknologiske nyvinninger.
+Nedlasting av fritt, lovlig og i utgangspunktet gratis materiale
+stoppes med tekniske sperrer og lobbyert lovvern av sperrene.</p>
+
+<p>Utvidelsene illustreres i boken med ulike eksempler. For eksempel
+en demonstrasjon av at Walt Disney ville ha blitt ansett som en
+opphavsrettspirat dersom han gjorde i dag det han gjorde på
+1930-tallet. Boken beskriver hvordan vern av åndsverk er bra, men at
+mer vern ikke nødvendigvis er bedre.<?p>
+
+<p>Petter Reinholdtsen, som sammen med flere frivillige har oversatt
+boken på fritiden de siste 3 årene, håper at boken vil gjøre en
+forskjell. «Når en vet hvordan opphavsrettens varighet i Norge, uten
+opposisjon på Stortinget, ble utvidet nok en gang i mai i fjor, og
+hvordan Norges handelspartner USA gjennom de nye handelsavtalene
+Trans-Pacific Partnership og Transatlantic Trade and Investment
+Partnership
+<a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/final-leaked-tpp-text-all-we-feared">ønsker
+å utvide opphavsrettens makt også i andre land</a>, håper jeg at flere
+vil spørre: Er det virkelig fornuftig å gjøre de samme utvidelsene i
+Norge?», spør han. «Jeg håper boken kan bidra til kunnskap og
+forståelse, og kan gi Stortinget et bedre grunnlag til å ta riktige
+beslutninger som ivaretar befolkningens og samfunnets interesser i
+Norge.»</p>
+
+<p>Petter Reinholdtsen er en mangeårig fri programvareutvikler som har
+vært med på å lage systemer som operativsystemet Debian, IT-løsningen
+Skolelinux, borgerportalen FiksGataMi og innsynstjenesten Mimes brønn.
+Han forteller han selv har opplevd problemene utvidet varighet,
+omfang, rekkevidde og kontroll i opphavsretten medfører og at boken
+var en oppvekker. «Jeg håper andre finner boken like interessant som
+jeg gjorde. Boken kan
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">lastes
+gratis ned fra github</a> eller
+<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22406445.html">kjøpes
+på papir fra lulu.com</a>,» avslutter Reinholdtsen.</p>
+
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Så får vi se om det har noen positiv effekt. :)</p>

+<p>I 2004, mens <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative
+Commons-bevegelsen</a> vokste frem, skrev bevegelsens stifter Lawrence
+Lessig boken
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
+Culture</a> for å forklare problemene med økene åndsverksregulering og
+for å foreslå noen løsninger. Jeg leste boken den gangen, og den både
+inspirerte meg og endret på hvordan jeg så på opphavsrettslovigving.
+Jeg skulle ønske flere folk leste denne boken. Den gir en god
+gjennomgang av hvordan økende åndsverksregulering skader både
+nyskapning og kulturlivet, og skisserer hvordan både lovgivere og oss

+nå klar for salg</a>. Jeg fikk heldigvis hjelp med oversetting og
+korrekturlesing av den norske utgaven fra en rekke frivillige. Se
+side 245 for en komplett liste. Slik ser omslaget ut:

+
+<p>I tillegg til den norske og engelske utgaven holder vi på med en
+fransk utgave. Den koordineres av dblatex-utvikleren Benoît Guillon,
+og oversettelsen var komplett denne uka men må korrekturleses før den
+kan gis ut. Flere frivillige trengs her, så ta kontakt med Benoît
+hvis du vil bidra.</p>
+
+<p>Boken er også tilgjengelig i PDF, ePub og MOBI-format fra
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">min
+github-prosjektside</a>. Merk at ePub og MOBI-utgavene har noen
+formatteringsproblemer som jeg tror kommer av feil i docbook-verktøyet
+dbtoepub (Debian BTS-rapporter
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
+og
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
+men jeg har ikke tatt meg tid til å undersøke problemene. For de som
+vil ha elektronisk kopi anbefaler jeg å bruke PDF- og ePub-utgaven i
+denne omgang, da de ser ut til å hånderes bra av de fremviserne jeg
+har tilgjengelig.</p>
+
+<p>Etter at oversettelsen til bokmål var ferdig klarte jeg å overtale
+<a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">NUUG Foundation</a> til å
+sponse trykking av boken. Det er årsaken til at stiftelsens logo er
+på baksiden av omslaget. Jeg er svært takknemlig for dette, og bruker
+bidraget til å gi en kopi av den norske utgaven til alle
+Stortingsrepresentanter og andre beslutningstakere her i Norge.</p>

-Since a few days ago, when I figured out the

-
-<p>The list of NUUG videos

+here to buy the book</a>.</p>
+
+<p>In 2004, as the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons
+movement</a> gained momentum, its creator Lawrence Lessig wrote the
+book <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Culture_(book)">Free
+Culture</a> to explain the problems with increasing copyright
+regulation and suggest some solutions. I read the book back then and
+was very moved by it. Reading the book inspired me and changed the
+way I looked on copyright law, and I would love it if more people
+would read it too.</p>
+
+<p>Because of this, I decided in the summer of 2012 to translate it to
+Norwegian Bokmål and publish it for those of my friends and family
+that prefer to read books in Norwegian. I translated the book using
+docbook and a gettext PO file, and a byproduct of this process is a
+new edition of the English original. I've been in touch with the
+author during by work, and he said it was fine with him if I also
+published an English version. So I decided to do so. Today, I made
+this edition
+<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html">available
+for sale on Lulu.com</a>, for those interested in a paper book. This
+is the cover:

+<p align="center"><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/free-culture/paperback/product-22402863.html"><img align="center" src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2015-10-23-free-culture-english-published-cover.png"/></a></p>
+
+<p>The Norwegian Bokmål version will be available for purchase in a
+few days. I also plan to publish a French version in a few weeks or
+months, depending on the amount of people with knowledge of French to
+join the translation project. So far there is only one active
+person, but the French book is almost completely translated but
+need some proof reading.</p>
+
+<p>The book is also available in PDF, ePub and MOBI formats from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">my
+github project page</a>. Note the ePub and MOBI versions have some
+formatting problems I believe is due to bugs in the docbook tool
+dbtoepub (Debian BTS issues
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=795842">#795842</a>
+and
+<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796871">#796871</a>),
+but I have not taken the time to investigate. I recommend the PDF and
+ePub version for now, as they seem to show up fine in the viewers I
+have available.</p>
+
+<p>After the translation to Norwegian Bokmål was complete, I was able
+to secure some sponsoring from
+<a href="http://www.nuugfoundation.no/">the NUUG Foundation</a> to
+print the book. This is the reason their logo is located on the back
+cover. I am very grateful for their contribution, and will use it to
+give a copy of the Norwegian edition to members of the Norwegian
+Parliament and other decision makers here in Norway.</p>

-Software</a>, providing <ahref="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/api">a REST
-api</a> for administrators and members, and with distribution on the
-national DVB-T distribution network RiksTV. But only between 12:00
-and 17:30 Norwegian time. This has finally changed, after many years
-with limited distribution. A few weeks ago, we set up a Ogg Theora
-stream via icecast to allow everyone with Internet access to check out
-the channel the rest of the day. This is presented on
-<a href="http://www.frikanalen.tv/se">the Frikanalen web site now</a>. And

-via <a href="https://www.uninett.no/iptv-tilgang">multicast on
-UNINETT</a>, available for those using IPTV TVs and set-top boxes in
-the Norwegian National Research and Education network.</p>
-
-<p>If you want to see what is on the channel, point your media player

- <div class="date">12th February 2015</div>
- <div class="body"><p>En stund nå har jeg vært nødt til å forholde meg til
-<a href="https://fronter.com/osloskoler/">Fronter</a>, en nettløsning
-Osloskolen bruker for kontakt mellom hjem og skole. Løsningen
-imponerer ikke, og det er lagt opp til at vi foreldre skal logge inn
-regelmessig for å se om noe har endret seg. Idéen om å la folk stikke
-innom nettsider for å se om det har skjedd endringer er så idiotisk at
-jeg har lett etter et alternativ. Fronterløsningen har en innebygget
-løsning der en kan abonnere på forsiden (som viser en oppsummering av
-det en har tilgang til), og få tilsendt en kopi hver natt, men det
-fjerner jo bare behovet for å stikke innom, ikke den idiotiske ideen
-om at folk skal huske hvordan nettsiden så ut sist og oppdage hva som
-er endret.</p>
-
-<p>For å gjøre livet enklere har jeg derfor brukt litt tid på å lage
-et program som kobler seg opp og sjekker etter endringer automatisk,
-slik at jeg kan få beskjed fra datamaskinen når noe endrer seg i
-stedet for å forsøke å finne ut av det selv. I går ble scriptet
-brukbart, og jeg er dermed klar til å dele det med deg.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg startet med å skrive programmet i Python, og hadde en versjon
-som logget inn og hentet ned enkeltsider fra Fronter. Men
-Fronter-websidene suger golfballer gjennom en hageslange, med
-uleselig HTML, flere nivåer av iframes og en struktur på innholdet som
-er svært vanskelig å finne ut av, så jeg ga til slutt opp lxml-parsing
-med Python og forsøkte meg med WWW::Mechanize for Perl som jeg kjente
-fra før. I ettertid har jeg oppdaget at WWW:Mechanize også finnes for
-Python, så jeg kunne antagelig droppet språkbyttet. Men da jeg
-oppdaget det hadde jeg kommet så langt med Perl-utgaven, så jeg hoppet
-ikke tilbake.</p>
-
-<p>For å logge inn i Fronter besøker en enten skolens websider eller
-den sentrale innloggingsiden <tt>https://fronter.com/osloskoler/</tt>.
-Perl-koden for å logge inn ser slik ut:</p>
-
-<pre>
-my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
-$mech->get('https://fronter.com/osloskoler/');
-$mech->submit_form(fields => {
- username => $username,
- password => $password,
-} );
-</pre>
-
-<p>Neste steg er å få oversikt over hvilke «rom» en har tilgang til.
-På vår skole er det rom for skolen, biblioteket, elevrådet,
-aktivitetsskolen og klasser der en har unger, og dette vil være
-forskjellig fra person til person. Etter å ha romstert rundt i
-Fronter-grensesnittet endel kom jeg over en grei HTML-side med
-oversikt over rommene,
-<tt>https://fronter.com/osloskoler/adm/projects.phtml?mode=displayRoomchooser</tt>,
-så jeg bruker denne til å hente ut romoversikt med rom-ID.</p>
-
-<pre>
-my %room;
-$mech->get('https://fronter.com/osloskoler/adm/projects.phtml?mode=displayRoomchooser');
-for my $link ($mech->links()) {
- my $url = $link->url();
- if ($url =~ m%/links/list_files.phtml\?edit=(\d+)$%) {
- $room{$link->text()} = $1;
- }
-}
-</pre>
-
-<p>Når en har rom-ID kan en slå opp websiden for rommet, som starter
-på
-<tt>https://fronter.com/osloskoler/contentframeset.phtml?goto_prjid=$ROMID</tt>
-(der $ROMID byttes ut med rom-ID-tallet). Det gir en side med
-iframes, og en må tre nivåer ned i iframes før en får tak i
-HTML-informasjonen som vises frem når en ser på det aktuelle rommet.
-Her ga jeg opp den robuste parsingen og hardkodet endel URL-er som i
-stedet bør spores opp maskinelt. HTML-informasjonen som vises lagres
-i en fil etter at økt- og innloggings-nøkkel er fjernet og deretter
-bruker jeg <tt>lynx --dump --nolist</tt> for å hente ut en tekstlig
-utgave av websiden. Denne tekstlige utgaven sammenlignes med forrige
-versjon og oversikt over endringer kan så sendes ut på egnet vis.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg valgte å bruke git til å holde rede på endringer, så jeg
-sjekker inn HTML og tekst-utgaver i git og bruker git til å vise frem
-endringene i tekstutgavene. Programvaren for å gjøre dette er testet
-på Debian GNU/Linux og kan
-<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/fronter-scraper-oslo">lastes
-ned fra github</a>.</p>
-
-<p>For å bruke dette selv, kjør følgende kommandoer på din
-Debian-maskin (forutsetter sudo-tilgang for installasjon av
-programvare):</p>
-
-<pre>
-sudo apt-get install git lynx-cur libio-prompter-perl libwww-mechanize-perl \
- libconfig-inifiles-perl
-git clone https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/fronter-scraper-oslo
-cd fronter-scraper-oslo
-./update-git
-</pre>
-
-<p>Det gjenstår endel, men systemet er allerede nyttig for meg. Jeg
-ønsker at systemet også skal laste ned PDF-er og slikt som er lagt ut
-for nedlasting på sidene, slik at f.eks. ukeplaner kommer inn i
-git-arkivet mitt automatisk og jeg får automatisk beskjed når ny
-ukeplan er lagt ut. Kanskje du kan bidra med å få det på plass, eller
-kanskje du har andre ting du vil fikse? Jeg tar gjerne imot endringer
-og forbedringer. Det er mye som kan gjøres bedre, og scriptet er ikke
-veldig robust mot endringer hos nettsidene til Fronter. Jeg regner
-dermed med at det vil trengs oppdateringer jevnlig etter hvert som
-Fronter-løsningen endrer seg.</p>

+ <div class="date"> 8th October 2015</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>The movie "<a href="http://www.takepart.com/internets-own-boy">The
+Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz</a>" is both inspiring
+and depressing at the same time. The work of Aaron Swartz has
+inspired me in my work, and I am grateful of all the improvements he
+was able to initiate or complete. I wish I am able to do as much good
+in my life as he did in his. Every minute of this 1:45 long movie is
+inspiring in documenting how much impact a single person can have on
+improving the society and this world. And it is depressing in
+documenting how the law enforcement of USA (and other countries) is
+corrupted to a point where they can push a bright kid to his death for
+downloading too many scientific articles. Aaron is dead. Let us all
+weep.</p>
+
+<p>The movie is also available on
+<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXr-2hwTk58">Youtube</a>. I
+wish there were Norwegian subtitles available, so I could show it to
+my parents.</p>
