+		<description>&lt;p&gt;The Debian Edu / Skolelinux project is still going strong and made
+its first Wheezy based release today.  This is the release
+announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu ~7.0.0 alpha0 released
+2013-04-26&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux ~7.0.0
+edu alpha0, 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. 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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Everything which is new in Debian Wheezy, eg:
+  &lt;ul&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Linux kernel 3.2.x&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Desktop environments KDE &quot;Plasma&quot; 4.8.4, GNOME 3.4, and LXDE 4
+         (KDE is installed by default; to choose GNOME or LXDE: see
+         manual.)&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Web browser Iceweasel 10 ESR&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;LibreOffice 3.5.4&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;LTSP 5.4.2&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;GOsa 2.7.4&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;CUPS print system 1.5.3&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Educational toolbox GCompris 12.01&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Music creator Rosegarden 12.04&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Image editor Gimp 2.8.2&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Virtual universe Celestia 1.6.1&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Virtual stargazer Stellarium 0.11.3&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Scratch visual programming environment 1.4.0.6&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;New version of debian-installer from Debian Wheezy, see
+         &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/installmanual&quot;&gt;installation
+         manual&lt;/a&gt; for more details.&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;Debian Wheezy includes about 37000 packages available for
+         installation.&lt;/li&gt;
+     &lt;li&gt;More information about Debian Wheezy 7.0 is provided in the
+         &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/releasenotes&quot;&gt;release notes&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/installmanual&quot;&gt;installation manual&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Documentation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;The (&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy&quot;&gt;English&lt;/a&gt;) Debian Edu Wheezy Manual is fully translated to
+    German, French, Italian and Danish. Partly translated versions exist
+    for Norwegian Bokmal and Spanish.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+  
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;Strong&gt;LDAP related changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Slight changes to some objects and acls to have more types to
+    choose from when adding systems in GOsa. Now systems can be of type
+    server, workstation, printer, terminal or netdevice.&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;LTSP clients start as diskless workstation / thin client can be
+    configured via command line argument -- or individually adding an
+    entry in lts.conf or LDAP.&lt;li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;GOsa gui: Now some options that seemed to be available, but are non
+    functional, are greyed out (or are not clickable). Some tabs are
+    completely hidden to the end user, others even to the GOsa admin.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+    
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regressions&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.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+    
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No updated artwork&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Updated artwork which is visible during installation, in the login
+    screen and as desktop wallpaper is still missing or the same as we
+    had for our Squeeze based release.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+    
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+To download the multiarch netinstall CD release you can use
+&lt;ul&gt;

+		<title>Bitcoin er ikke anonymt - føres Stortinget bak lyset av finansministeren?</title>

+                <pubDate>Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
+		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bitcoin.org/&quot;&gt;Bitcoin&lt;/a&gt; er mye i mediene for
+tiden.  Jeg følger med via Mylder for å finne
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://mylder.no/?drill=bitcoin&quot;&gt;artikler som omtaler
+temaet&lt;/a&gt;, og takket være dette oppdaget jeg at stortingsrepresentant
+Ketil Solvik-Olsen fra FrP nylig har spurt finansminister Sigbjørn
+Johnsen om hans syn på Bitcoin, og
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Sporsmal/Skriftlige-sporsmal-og-svar/Skriftlig-sporsmal/?qid=57052&quot;&gt;fått
+svar for noen dager siden&lt;/a&gt;.  Jeg bet meg spesielt merke til
+følgende formulering fra finansministeren:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+«Det er også utfordringer ved at handel med Bitcoins er uregulert og
+at transaksjonene er anonyme.»
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;At Bitcoin er anonymt er en myte som spres av både journalister og
+andre, så det er ikke veldig overraskende at også finansministeren har
+gått på limpinnen.  Det er dog litt rart, da jeg håper at
+finansdepartementet ikke baserer seg på rykter og myter når de
+besvarer Stortinget.  Men du trenger ikke bare tro på meg som kilde
+til påstanden om at Bitcoin ikke er anonymt.  Sondre Rønjom har
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogg.nsm.stat.no/archives/3241&quot;&gt;via Sikkerhetsbloggen
+hos Nasjonal Sikkerhetsmyndighet&lt;/a&gt; uttalt følgende:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+«At [bitcoin] i utgangspunktet
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;ikke&lt;/em&gt; er anonymt&lt;/a&gt;,
+kommer kanskje som en overraskelse på mange.»
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Enhver bevegelse av Bitcoin er offentlig tilgjengelig for alle på
+Internet, og en må legge svært mye innsats inn hvis en skal hindre at
+nettverksanalyse av transaksjonsloggene kan brukes til å identifisere
+brukerne.  F.eks. kan en enkelt se hva jeg har mottatt til min
+offentliggjorte mottaksadresse ved å besøke blockexplorer og slå opp
+adressen
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://blockexplorer.com/address/15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;.
+Det virker dermed på meg ganske klart at å påstå at
+Bitcoin-transaksjoner er anonyme strengt tatt er å føre Stortinget bak
+lyset.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Finansministeren er ikke den eneste som har latt seg forlede av
+medieomtalen.  I spørsmålet fra Hr. Solvik-Olsen skriver han at «For
+noen dager siden kom den første bitcoin-minibanken på Kypros», hvilket
+så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut ikke er riktig.  Det er annonsert
+planer om en slik minibank (fra
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitcoinatm.com/&quot;&gt;BitcoinATM&lt;/a&gt;), men jeg finner
+intet tegn til at en slik minibank er utplassert noe sted.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
+mine aktiviteter, så setter jeg pris på Bitcoin-donasjoner til min
+adresse
+&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&amp;label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
