+		<description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg har sterk tro på vitenskap, som er et annet navn på
+etterprøvbar kunnskap, som metode for å sikre et velfungerende
+samfunn.  Eller som en fantastisk reklamekampanje i England formulerte
+det, &lt;a href=&quot;http://old.richarddawkins.net/articles/3567&quot;&gt;vitenskap
+flyr deg til månen, religion flyr deg inn i bygninger&lt;/a&gt;.  Men den
+vitenskapelige metode trenger folk med kunnskap, evne og vilje til å
+gjøre sitt beste, og settes under press av et samfunn som ikke akkurat
+belønner slike egenskaper.  Her er noen skremmende og oppmuntrende
+lenker relatert jeg anbefaler alle å lese:&lt;/p&gt;

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;Since this summer, I have worked in my spare time on a Norwegian &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig.
+The reason is that this book is a great primer on what problems exist
+in the current copyright laws, and I want it to be available also for
+those that are reluctant do read an English book.
+
+When I started, I 
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;called
+for volunteers&lt;/a&gt; to help me, but too few have volunteered so far,
+and progress is a bit slow.  Anyway, today I broken the 70 percent
+mark for the first rough translation.  At the moment, less than 700
+strings (paragraphs, index terms, titles) are left to translate.  With
+my current progress of 10-20 strings per day, it will take a while to
+complete the translation.  This graph show the updated progress:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Progress have slowed down lately due to family and work
+commitments.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out
+the project files currently available from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
+the updated
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
+and
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true&quot;&gt;EPUB&lt;/a&gt;
+are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
+github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
+saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg ble for noen dager siden tipset om en rapport utarbeidet av
+Cabinet Office i England ved navn
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/resource-library/test-learn-adapt-developing-public-policy-randomised-controlled-trials&quot;&gt;Test,
+Learn, Adapt: Developing Public Policy with Randomised Controlled
+Trials&lt;/a&gt;, skrevet av blant annet Ben Goldacre (som jeg først ble
+klar over da han holdt et veldig interessant TED-foredrag med tittel
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.org/details/BenGoldacre_2011G&quot;&gt;Battling bad
+science&lt;/a&gt;).  Rapporten handler om hvordan det offentlige burde bruke
+vitenskaplige metoder i større grad for å finne ut hvilke virkemidler
+som er mest effektive når en skal regulere samfunnet.  Her er et sitat
+fra starten av rapporten:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the best way to determine
+  wheather a policy is working.  They are now used extensively in
+  international development, medicine, and business to identify which
+  policy, drug or sales method is most effective.  They are also at
+  the heart of the Behavioural Insights Team&#39;s methodology.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;However, RCTs are not rutinely used to test the effectiveness of
+  public policy interventions in the UK.  We think they should be.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Her tror jeg også Norge har noe å lære.  Det offentlige bruker mye
+penger på aktiviteter der det ikke er åpenbart (og heller ikke blir
+målt) at den reelle effekten er det en ønsker å oppnå.  Ruters
+elektroniske billettsystem, NAV-reformen, økt bruk av penger på
+politiet og sykehussammenslåinger kommer meg i hug.&lt;/p&gt;

+		<link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Giorgio_Pioda.html</link>        
+		<guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Giorgio_Pioda.html</guid>
+                <pubDate>Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
+		<description>&lt;p&gt;After a long break in my row of interviews with people in the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
+community, I finally found time to wrap up another.  This time it is
+Giorgio Pioda, which showed up on the mailing list at the start of
+this year, asking questions and inspiring us to improve the first time
+administrators experience with Skolelinux. :) The interview was
+conduced in May, but I only found time to publish it now.&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 have a PhD in chemistry but since several years I work as teacher
+in secondary (15-18 year old students) and tertiary (a kind of &quot;light&quot;
+university) schools. Five years ago I started to manage a Learning
+Management Service server and slowly I got more and more involved with
+IT. 3 years ago the graduating schools moved completely to Linux and I
+got the head of the IT for this. The experience collected in chemistry
+labs computers (for example NMR analysis of protein folding) and in
+the IT-courses during university where sufficient to start. Self
+training is anyway very important&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I live in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland, and the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spse.ch/&quot;&gt;SPSE school&lt;/a&gt; (secondary) is a very
+special sport school for young people who try to became sport pro (for
+all sports, we have dozens of disciplines represented) and we are
+recognised by the Olympic Swiss Organisation.
+
+&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;Looking for Linux / Primary Domain Controller (PDC) I found it
+already several years ago. But since the system was still not
+Kerberized and since our schools relies strongly on laptops I didn&#39;t
+use it. I plan to introduce it in the next future, probably for the
+next school year, since the squeeze release solved this security
+hole.&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;Many. First of all there is a strong and living community that is
+very generous for help and hints.  Chat help is crucial, together with
+the mailing list.  Second. With Skolelinux you get an already well
+engineered platform and you don&#39;t have to start to build up your PDC
+and your clients from GNU/scratch; I&#39;ve already done this once and I
+can tell it, it is hard. Third, since Skolelinux is a standard
+platform, it is way easier to educate other IT people and even if the
+head IT is sick another one could pick up the task without too much
+hassle.&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;The only real problem I see is that it is a little too less
+flexible at client level. Debian stable is rocky and desirable, but
+there are many reasons that force for another choice. For example the
+need of new drivers for new PC, or the need for a specific OS for some
+devices that have specific software packages for another specific
+distribution (I have such a case for whiteboards that have only
+Ubuntu packages). Thus, I prepared compatibility packages educlient
+and eduroaming, hoping not to use them ;-)&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 have a Debian Stable PDC at school (Kerberos, NIS, NFS) with
+mixed Debian and Ubuntu clients. If you think that this triad
+combination is exotic... well I discovered right yesterday that
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://moo.nac.uci.edu/~hjm/Perceus-Report.html&quot;&gt;Perceus&lt;/a&gt;
+has the same...&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For myself I run Debian wheezy/sid, but this combination is good
+only I you have enough competence to fix stuff for yourself, if
+something breaks.  Daily I use texmacs, gnumeric, a little bit of R
+statistics, kmplot, and less frequently OpenOffice.org.&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 that the only real argument that school managers &quot;hear&quot; is
+cost reduction. They don&#39;t give too much weight on quality, stability,
+just because they are normally not open to change.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Students adapts very quickly to GNU/Linux (and for them being able
+to switch between different OS is a plus value); teachers and managers
+don&#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We decided to move to Linux because students at our school have own
+laptop and we have the responsibility to keep the laptop ready to use;
+we were really unsatisfied with Microsoft since every Monday we had 20
+machine to fix for viral infections... With Linux this has been
+reduced to zero, since people installs almost only from official
+repositories. I think that our special needs brought us to Linux.
+Those who don&#39;t have such needs will hardly move to Linux.&lt;/p&gt;
