+We have two problems blocking the release of the Wheezy version we
+hope to get released soon.  The two problems require some with PHP
+skills, and we seem to lack anyone with both time and PHP skills in
+the project:
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>It is impossible to log into the slbackup web interface
+  (slbackup-php) using the root user and password.  This is
+  <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/700257">BTS report #700257</a>.
+  This used to work, but stopped working some time since Squeeze.
+  Perhaps some obsolete PHP feature was used?</li>
+
+<li>It is not possible to "mass import" user lists in Gosa, neither
+  using ldif nor using CSV files.  The feature was disabled after a
+  major rewrite of Gosa, and need to be ported to the new system.
+  This is <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/698840">BTS report
+  #698840</a>.</li>

+<p>If you can help us, please join us on IRC

+      <div class="date"> 4th June 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>It has been a while since my last English
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and Skolelinux</a>
+interview last November.  But the developers and translators are still
+pulling along to get the Wheezy based release out the door, and this
+time I managed to get an interview from one of the French translators
+in the project, Cédric Boutillier.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I am 34 year old. I live near Paris, France. I am an assistant
+professor in probability theory. I spend my daytime teaching
+mathematics at the university and doing fundamental research in
+probability in connexion with combinatorics and statistical physics.</p>
+
+<p>I have been involved in the Debian project for a couple of years
+and became Debian Developer a few months ago. I am working on Ruby
+packaging, publicity and translation.</p>
+
+<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
+project?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I came to the Debian Edu project after a call for translation of
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Manuals">the
+Debian Edu manual</a> for the release of Debian Edu Squeeze. Since
+then, I have been working on updating the French translation of the
+manual.
+
+<p>I had the opportunity to make an installation of Debian Edu in a
+virtual machine when I was preparing localised version of some screen
+shots for the manual. I was amazed to see it worked out of the box and
+how comprehensive the list of software installed by default was.</p>
+
+<p>What amazed me was the complete network infrastructure directly
+ready to use, which can and the nice administration interface provided
+by <a href="https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/">GOsa²</a>.  What pleased
+me also was the fact that among the software installed by default,
+there were many "traditional" educative software to learn languages,
+to count, to program... but also software to develop creativity and
+artistic skills with music (<a href="http://ardour.org/">Ardour</a>,
+<a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a>) and
+movies/animation (I was especially thinking of
+<a href="http://linuxstopmotion.sourceforge.net/">Stopmotion</a>).</p>
+
+<p>I am following the development of Debian Edu and am hanging out on
+<a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu">#debian-edu</a>.
+Unfortunately, I don't much time to get more involved in this
+beautiful project.</p>
+  
+<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>For me, the main advantages of Skolelinux/Debian Edu are its
+community of experts and its precise documentation, as well as the
+fact that it provides a solution ready to use.</p>
+  
+<p>I would add also the fact that it is based on the rock solid Debian
+distribution, which ensures stability and provides a huge collection
+of educational free software.</p>
+  
+<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Maybe the lack of manpower to do lobbying on the
+project. Sometimes, people who need to take decisions concerning IT do
+not have all the elements to evaluate properly free software
+solutions. The fact that support by a company may be difficult to find
+is probably a problem if the school does not have IT personnel.</p>
+
+<p>One can find support from a company by looking at
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Help/ProfessionalHelp">the
+wiki dokumentation</a>, where some countries already have a number of
+companies providing support for Debian Edu, like Germany or
+Norway. This list is easy to find readily from the manual. However,
+for other countries, like France, the list is empty. I guess that
+consultants proposing support for Debian would be able to provide some
+support for Debian Edu as well.</p>
+  
+<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I am using the KDE Plasma Desktop. But the pieces of software I use
+most runs in a terminal: Mutt and OfflineIMAP for emails, latex for
+scientific documents, mpd for music. VIM is my editor of choice.  I am
+also using the mathematical software
+<a href="http://www.scilab.org/en/scilab/about‎">Scilab</a> and
+<a href="http://www.sagemath.org/index.html‎">Sage</a> (built from
+source as not completely packaged for Debian, yet).
+
+<p><strong>Do you have any suggestions for teachers interested in
+using the free software in Debian to teach mathematics and
+statistics?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I do not have any "nice" recommendations for statistics. At our
+university, we use both <a href="http://www.r-project.org/‎">R</a> and
+Scilab to teach statistics and probabilistic simulations. For
+geometry, there are nice programs:</p>
 
 <ul>
 
-  <li><a href="http://www.uhuru.biz/?p=1293">Bruk av narkohund i
-    klasserom – fra vondt til verre</a> (2013-03-09)</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.drgeo.eu/">drgeo</a> and
+<a href="http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/kig‎">kig</a> to do
+constructions in planar geometry
 
-  <li><a href="http://www.uhuru.biz/?p=1018">Ulovlig og
-    menneskerettsstridig bruk av narkohund i klasserom</a>
-    (2012-03-12)</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/software/download/kali.html">kali</a>
+to discover symmetry groups (the so-called wallpapers and frieze
+groups), although the interface looks a bit old.</li>
 
 </ul>
 
-<p>Jeg er veldig glad for at han bidrar med argumenter og forklaringer
-vi foreldre kan ta med oss når vi skal protestere på og få en slutt på
-denne forkastelige praksisen.  Narkotikaproblemet må adresseres på
-andre måter som ikke krenker barn og ungdoms integritet.  Jeg ønsker
-ikke at mine barn skal læres opp til å akseptere radering av
-privatlivets fred, men heller at de skal læres opp til å sloss imot
-den innføringen av stadig mer totalitær overvåkning som har pågått
-over mange år i Norge.  </p>
+<p>I like also
+<a href="http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/cantor">cantor</a>, which
+provides a uniform interface to SciLab, Sage,
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Octave‎">Octave</a>, etc...</p>
+  
+<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
+
+<p>My suggestions would be to</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>advertise the reduction of costs when free software is used.</li>
+
+<li>communicate about the quality of free software projects, using
+    well known examples like Firefox, ThunderBird and
+    OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.</li>
+
+<li>advertise the living and strong community around the project.</li>
+
+<li>show that it is not more difficult to use than any other
+    system.</li>
+
+</ul>

+      <div class="date"> 3rd June 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>Jeg jobber til daglig ved <a href="http://www.uio.no/">Universitetet
+i Oslo</a>, en institusjon som lenge har vektlagt verdien av åpne
+standarder og fri programvare.  Men noe har endret seg, og for en
+liten stund tilbake annonserte USIT at dagens fungerende e-postsystemet
+basert på fri programvare skulle byttes ut med Microsoft Exchange og
+at Microsoft Outlook skulle bli den best fungerende men antagelig ikke
+eneste støttede e-postklienten.  Annonseringen har ført til flere
+protester og <a href="http://folk.uio.no/dssantos/nooutlookatuio/">en
+underskriftskampanje</a>, initiert av Diana Santos, der så langt 253
+personer har signert.  Prosjektet
+<a href="http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike/">NIKE (Ny integrert
+kalender/e-post)</a> ble initiert for å se på mulige løsninger med
+utgangspunkt i at en kombinert epost/kalenderløsning var påkrevd, og
+prosjektet
+<a href="http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike-implementasjon/">NIKE-implementasjon</a>
+er igang med å rulle ut MS Exchange ved Universitetet i Oslo.</p>
+
+<p>For kun kort tid siden ble det annonsert at det blir et åpent møte
+med ledelsen hos universitetet i Oslo med disse planene som tema:</p>
+
+<p>Tid: <strong>Onsdag 2013-06-05 kl. 10:00</strong>
+<br>Sted: <strong>9. etasje i Lucy Smiths hus (admin-bygget)</strong></p>
+
+<p> Det kan være en god plass å stille opp hvis en som meg ikke tror
+valget av Microsoft Exchange som sentral epostinfrastruktur er et
+heldig valg for Norges ledende forskningsuniversitet, men at en er mer
+tjent med å selv
+<a href="http://nuug.no/dokumenter/kronikk-friprog-itsikkerhet.shtml">beholde
+kontrollen over egen infrastruktur</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Saken har ført til endel presseoppslag så langt.  Her er de jeg har

-      <div class="body"><p>Do you want to set up your own TV station, schedule videos and
-broadcast them on the air?  Using free software?  With video on demand
-support using
-<a href="http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition">free and
-open standards</a>?  Included a web based video stream as well?  And
-administrate it all in your web browser from anywhere in the world?  A
-few years now the Norwegian public access TV-channel
-<a href="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a> have been building a
-system to do just this.  The source code for the solution is licensed
-using the GNU LGPL, and
-<a href="http://github.com/Frikanalen">available from github</a>.</p>
-
-<p>The idea is simple.  You upload a video file over the web, and
-attach meta information to the file.  You select a time slot in the
-program schedule, and when the time come it is played on the air and
-in the web stream.  It is also made available in a video on demand
-solution for anyone to see it also outside its scheduled time.  All
-you need to run a TV station - using your web browser.</p>
-
-<p>There are several parts to this web based solution.  I'll mention
-the three most important ones.  The first part is the database of
-videos and the schedule.  This is written in Django and include a REST
-API.  The current database is SQLite, but the plan is to migrate it to
-PostgreSQL.  At the moment this system can be tested on
-<a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/">beta.frikanalen.tv</a>.  The
-second part is the video playout, taking the schedule information from
-the database and providing a video stream to broadcast.  This is done
-using <a href="http://www.casparcg.com/">CasparCG from SVT</a> and
-<a href="http://www.mltframework.org/">Media Lovin' Toolkit</a>.  Video
-signal distribution is handled using
-<a href="http://www.ob-encoder.com/">Open Broadcast Encoder</a>.  The
-third part is the converter, handling the transformation of uploaded
-video files to a format useful for broadcasting, streaming and video
-on demand.  It is still very much work in progress, so it is not yet
-decided what it will end up using.  Note that the source of the latter
-two parts are not yet pushed to github.  The lead author want to clean
-them up a bit more first.</p>
-
-<p>The development is coordinated on the
-<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/%23frikanalen">#frikanalen IRC
-channel</a> (irc.freenode.net), and discussed on
-<a href="http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/frikanalen">the
-frikanalen mailing list</a>. The lead developer is Benjamin Bruheim
-(phed on IRC).  Anyone is welcome to participate in the
-development.</p>

+      <div class="date">27th May 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>Two days ago, I asked
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_can_I_install_Linux_on_a_Packard_Bell_Easynote_LV_preinstalled_with_Windows_8_.html">how
+I could install Linux on a Packard Bell EasyNote LV computer
+preinstalled with Windows 8</a>.  I found a solution, but am horrified
+with the obstacles put in the way of Linux users on a laptop with UEFI
+and Windows 8.</p>
+
+<p>I never found out if the cause of my problems were the use of UEFI
+secure booting or fast boot.  I suspect fast boot was the problem,
+causing the firmware to boot directly from HD without considering any
+key presses and alternative devices, but do not know UEFI settings
+enough to tell.</p>
+
+<p>There is no way to install Linux on the machine in question without
+opening the box and disconnecting the hard drive!  This is as far as I
+can tell, the only way to get access to the firmware setup menu
+without accepting the Windows 8 license agreement.  I am told (and
+found description on how to) that it is possible to configure the
+firmware setup once booted into Windows 8.  But as I believe the terms
+of that agreement are completely unacceptable, accepting the license
+was never an alternative.  I do not enter agreements I do not intend
+to follow.</p>
+
+<p>I feared I had to return the laptops and ask for a refund, and
+waste many hours on this, but luckily there was a way to get it to
+work.  But I would not recommend it to anyone planning to run Linux on
+it, and I have become sceptical to Windows 8 certified laptops.  Is
+this the way Linux will be forced out of the market place, by making
+it close to impossible for "normal" users to install Linux without
+accepting the Microsoft Windows license terms?  Or at least not
+without risking to loose the warranty?</p>
+
+<p>I've updated the
+<a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Linux Laptop
+wiki page for Packard Bell EasyNote LV</a>, to ensure the next person
+do not have to struggle as much as I did to get Linux into the
+machine.</p>

+      <div class="body"><p>I've run into quite a problem the last few days.  I bought three
+new laptops for my parents and a few others.  I bought Packard Bell
+Easynote LV to run Kubuntu on and use as their home computer.  But I
+am completely unable to figure out how to install Linux on it.  The
+computer is preinstalled with Windows 8, and I suspect it uses UEFI
+instead of a BIOS to boot.</p>
+
+<p>The problem is that I am unable to get it to PXE boot, and unable
+to get it to boot the Linux installer from my USB stick.  I have yet
+to try the DVD install, and still hope it will work.  when I turn on
+the computer, there is no information on what buttons to press to get
+the normal boot menu.  I expect to get some boot menu to select PXE or
+USB stick booting.  When booting, it first ask for the language to
+use, then for some regional settings, and finally if I will accept the
+Windows 8 terms of use.  As these terms are completely unacceptable to
+me, I have no other choice but to turn off the computer and try again
+to get it to boot the Linux installer.</p>
+
+<p>I have gathered my findings so far on a Linlap page about the
+<a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Packard Bell
+EasyNote LV</a> model.  If you have any idea how to get Linux
+installed on this machine, please get in touch or update that wiki
+page.  If I can't find a way to install Linux, I will have to return
+the laptop to the seller and find another machine for my parents.</p>
+
+<p>I wonder, is this the way Linux will be forced out of the market
+using UEFI and "secure boot" by making it impossible to install Linux
+on new Laptops?</p>

+kan få til med en datamaskin til NOK 400,- (antagelig 1700,- med
+skjerm, tastatur og mus) når det brukes i Skolelinux.  Jeg spurte han
+om et intervju.</p>
 
 <p><strong>Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?</strong></p>
 
-<p>Eg er IT-konsulent/teknikker hjå eit firma i Steinkjer med navn
-<a href="http://unoit.no/">Uno IT</a>.  Uno IT er eit lite firma som
-drifter nettverk og maskiner for små og mellomstore firma
-Steinkjer-området. Per dags dato er me 2 ansatte. Min faglege bakgrunn
-er Fagbrev som it-teknikker, samt nokre fag innen nettverk- og
-server-drift frå HiST og NTNU. Dagleg arbeid består i oppsett av nye
-maskiner og hjelp til sluttbrukere, samt oppsett og vedlikehold av eit
-vidt spekter av fagsystemer ute hjå kunder. Erfaring med Skolelinux
-har eg hatt i forbindelse med drifting av
-<a href="http://www.bjorkly.no/">Bjørkly skule</a>, ein privat
-grunnskule i Namsos-området.  I dag har skulen 65 elever, 15 lærere, 1
-hovedserver og ca 60 klienter som kjører halvtjukt.  Eg har bygd og
-driftet systemet sidan summaren 2006.</p>
+<p>Jeg heter Nirosan Thiyagalingam. Jeg er 24 år og studerer
+dataingeniør studiet ved Høgskolen i Sør Trøndelag. Interessen for
+data har siden ung alder vært tilstede og jeg har i tillegg alltid
+vært glad i å lære nye ting. Med teknologi som endres svært hurtig er
+det alltid noe nytt å lære.  Noe som igjen har gjort det svært
+interessant å følge med på utviklingen.  Jeg valgte dataingeniør
+studiet grunnet ønske om å lære enda mer om programmering og utvikling
+av store systemer.</p>
 
 <p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?</strong></p>
 
-<p>Eg kom i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet via ein artikkel i eit
-fagblad, som eg ikkje lenger hugsar namnet på.  I og med at eg allereie
-hadde pusla med nettverk for ein annan skule, fatta eg straks
-interesse for prosjektet.</p>
+<p>Skolelinux prosjektet hørte jeg først om i media. Men det var først
+når jeg skulle velge bacheloroppgave at jeg fattet mer interesse for
+prosjektet. Et enkelt søk på nettet førte meg til skolelinux sine
+hjemmesider.  Informasjonen jeg fant der gjorde meg enda nysgjerrig og
+jeg valgte derfor en oppgave som gikk ut på å få en
+<a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org">Raspberry PI</a>.  Altså en
+ultra-billig datamaskin til å kjøre Debian Edu på lik linje med
+vanlige datamaskiner. I løpet av prosjektet ble det gjort mye
+forskning på nettet. Det var mye jeg måtte forstå rundt hvordan
+operativsystemet Linux fungerte før jeg kunne angripe
+problemet. Prøvde først å finne ut hvordan man kunne transformere en
+vanlig installasjon av Skolelinux til Raspberry PI, men dette var
+altfor vanskelig å jeg endte opp med mer spørsmål enn svar. Det ble
+videre opprettet kontakt med Skolelinux utviklere på IRC der jeg fikk
+diskutert hvilken retning jeg burde gå for å få til en fullverdig
+løsning. Det ble bestemt at jeg skulle gå for å først installere
+<a href="http://www.raspbian.org/">Raspian</a>. Dette er et
+operativsystem basert på Debian spesiallaget for Raspberry Pi sin
+maskinvare. Nå som Debian var installert på datamaskinen gjenstod det
+å installere de nødvendige Skolelinux pakkene for å få til et
+fullverdig system. Disse pakkene ble installert manuelt i første
+omgang, men ble senere installert automatisk via et script som Petter
+Reinholdtsen laget. Dette scriptet er så enkel å bruke at man er i
+gang med installasjonen i løpet av bare 5 minutter. Ikke nok med det,
+alt skjer helt automatisk. Alt i alt er jeg veldig fornøyd med
+resultatet av installasjonsprosessen. Raspberry Pi er en veldig svak
+maskin og det merkes godt når man har installert Skolelinux på
+den. Video og 3D-rendering fungerer utrolig dårlig, men nettsurfing og
+kontorprogrammer fungerer godt.  Det kan derfor konkluderes med at
+datamaskinen er egnet for enkle oppgaver.
+
+<p>Jeg syns det er viktig påpeke at dette kun er startfasen av en slik
+løsning. På markedet finnes det nå maskiner som har bedre hardware enn
+Raspberry Pi. Det er store muligheter for at man kan klare å
+installere Skolelinux på disse også, og da forsvinner nok mest
+sannsynlig ytelsesproblemene med Video og 3D rendering også.</p>
+
+<p>Det ble også prøvd med en løsning som gjorde at Raspberry Pi
+fungerte som en tynnklient. Denne løsningen hadde langt bedre ytelse
+med tanke på hastighet og brukeropplevelse. Men også her var video og
+3D rendering dårlig. Det ble brukt en liten Linux distribusjon kalt
+<a href="http://www.berryterminal.com/">BerryTerminal</a> for å få til
+dette.</p>
 
 <p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
 
-<p>Fordelane med Skolelinux er sentralisert administrasjon og svært
-mange gode verktøy «ut av boksen». Veldig kjekt å kunne drifte 60
-klientar med berre å «bry» seg med ein server. Levetid for systemets
-hardware er og ein veldig fin effekt. I tillegg kjem fordelar som økt
-sikkerhet og mindre lisenskostnader. Etter min erfaring er det og
-mykje mindre driftskostnader med eit slikt system enn konkurrerande
-system, pga enkelhet med sentralisert administrasjon. PÃ¥ grunn av at
-Skolelinux er basert på Debian er det òg svært stabilt.</p>
+<p>Fordelen med Skolelinux er mange. At det er gratis er en stor
+fordel, men at det er så mange som er med på å utvikle det og
+vedlikeholde det er en enda større fordel. Allerede før jeg startet
+med prosjektet så jeg mange fordeler, og når jeg nærmet meg sluttfasen
+så jeg langt flere. At prosjektet skulle inneha en så høy kvalitet
+hadde jeg aldri trodd. En vanlig Skolelinux installasjon har de
+nødvendige programmene og funksjonen som både små og store skoler i
+tillegg til organisasjoner kan klare seg med.  At prosjektet tilbyr en
+så komplett løsning er en kjempefordel.  Installasjonen er knirkefri
+og det er svært enkelt å installere og komme i gang.</p>
 
 <p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
 
-<p>Ulemper er mangel på vilje til å følge standarer ute i markedet,
-som fører til mangel på støtte til nokre mykje brukte ting. Flash og
-Java er typiske eksempel. Sidan Debian satsar på stabilitet framfor å
-ha nyeste pakke av eit program, kan ein i nokre tilfeller kome borti
-at program vert «for gamle». Det er spesielt nettlesaren som er
-utsett. Mangel på vilje til å utvikle pedagogisk programvare, i Noreg,
-for «alle» platformer fører òg til noko hovudbry.</p>
+<p>Ulempene jeg ser med prosjektet er ryddigheten av websidene. Selv
+om websidene er enkle og konsise er det allikevel ikke appellerende i
+like stor grad som for eksempel
+<a href="http://www.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</a> sine sider.  Deres side
+tilbyr, i tillegg til godt design og presentasjon, en nettbasert
+emulator av deres operativsystem. Dette er en stor fordel slik jeg ser
+det.  Bortsett fra dette ser jeg absolutt ingen ulemper med
+Skolelinux-prosjektet.</p>
 
 <p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?</strong></p>
 
-<p>Til dagleg bruker eg svært mange forskjellige «fri programvare»
-program.  Firefox, Thunderbird, Freecommander, ImgBurn, Clonezilla,
-OCS inventory, Icinga, Skolelinux, SystemRescueCD og mykje meir.</p>
+<p>Til daglig er jeg en flittig bruker av det åpne media
+sentersystemet <a href="http://xbmc.org/">XBMC</a>. Det enorme
+samfunnet rundt dette prosjektet har gjort dette til et program som
+dekker alles behov. Man kan tilpasse det akkurat slik man vil både med
+tanke på utseende og funksjoner ved installere plug-ins eller
+scripts.</p>
 
 <p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
 skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?</strong></p>
 
-<p>Strategisk må ein fokusere på at sluttbruker eigentleg ikkje er så
-fokusert på at det er fri programvare men at det skal «berre fungere».
-Gjer det enkelt å bruker og ikkje minst å administrere. For Skolelinux
-sin del må ein få eit betre fokus på overganger. Utbytting av servere
-må gå meir automatisk, import og eksport av brukerbase og maskinbase
-med meir må kunne gå enkelt og oppgradering til neste versjon må bli
-mykje meir automatisk og gjennomtesta. Ein må unngå at ein må sette
-opp frå start når ein byter ut ein server eller oppgraderer til neste
-versjon. For å få Skolelinux til å bli eit betre alternativ for skular
-må ein ha fokus på nettlesaren. Denne må bli «up to date» og støtte
-dei protokollar og tillegg som vert brukt av forlag med meir.  Etter
-kvart som meir og meir blir flytta ut i «skya» vert dette viktigare og
-viktigare. Ein kunne ynskje og jobbe for at forlag med fleire tar i
-bruk opne standarer, men inntil det skjer, må systemet kunne brukast
-mot desse fagsystema.</p>
-
-<p>For meg har prosjektet med Skolelinux vore ein svært artig og
-lærerik prosess. Miljøet rundt er ikkje enormt stort, dog stort nok,
-men det er svært hjelpevillig og engasjert.</p>
+<p>Strategien som burde brukes sett fra mine øyne er
+markedsføring. Jeg er sikker på at om flere skoler fikk et lite innsyn
+i hvor bra Skolelinux er så ville de ikke nølt med å gå over fra noe
+annet som koster de store summer. At skolelinux til de grader tilbyr
+en så komplett løsning bure komme frem. Enten via reklamekampanjer
+eller ved å sende ut folk til skoler for så å la skolenettverk
+ansvarlige få teste ut hvordan Skolelinux fungerer i praksis. Om det
+i tillegg ble utviklet gode websider og en emulator for å la brukere
+prøve operativsystemet ville nok dette ha styrket inntrykket
+betraktelig.</p>

+
+<p>A topic that come up again and again on the Debian Edu mailing
+lists and elsewhere, is the question on how to transform a Debian or
+Ubuntu installation into a Debian Edu installation.  It isn't very
+hard, and last week I wrote a script to replicate the steps done by
+the Debian Edu installer.</p>
+
+<p>The script,
+<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/branches/wheezy/debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu-config/tools/debian-edu-bless?view=markup">debian-edu-bless<a/>
+in the debian-edu-config package, will go through these six steps and
+transform an existing Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu (untested) installation
+into a Debian Edu Workstation:</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Add skolelinux related APT sources.</li>
+<li>Create /etc/debian-edu/config with the wanted configuration.</li>
+<li>Install debian-edu-install to load preseeding values and pull in
+    our configuration.</li>
+<li>Preseed debconf database with profile setup in
+    /etc/debian-edu/config, and run tasksel to install packages
+    according to the profile specified in the config above,
+    overriding some of the Debian automation machinery.</li>
+<li>Run debian-edu-cfengine-D installation to configure everything
+    that could not be done using preseeding.</li>
+<li>Ask for a reboot to enable all the configuration changes.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>There are some steps in the Debian Edu installation that can not be
+replicated like this.  Disk partitioning and LVM setup, for example.
+So this script just assume there is enough disk space to install all
+the needed packages.</p>
+
+<p>The script was created to help a Debian Edu student working on
+setting up <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org">Raspberry Pi</a> as a
+Debian Edu client, and using it he can take the existing
+<a href="http://www.raspbian.org/FrontPage‎">Raspbian</a> installation and
+transform it into a fully functioning Debian Edu Workstation (or
+Roaming Workstation, or whatever :).</p>
+
+<p>The default setting in the script is to create a KDE Workstation.
+If a LXDE based Roaming workstation is wanted instead, modify the
+PROFILE and DESKTOP values at the top to look like this instead:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+PROFILE="Roaming-Workstation"
+DESKTOP="lxde"
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>The script could even become useful to set up Debian Edu servers in
+the cloud, by starting with a virtual Debian installation at some
+virtual hosting service and setting up all the services on first
+boot.</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>

-<p>With kids in the house, one challenge is getting them to sleep
-during the night and wake up when it is morning.  I mean, when I
-believe it is morning, and not two hours earlier.  In our household we
-have decided that 07:00 is the turning point, but getting the kids to
-sleep until 07:00 is a small challenge every day.  They have adapted
-quite well, and rarely wake up at 05:00 any more, but some times wake
-up at times like 05:50, 06:15, 06:30 or 06:45, and it is hard to put
-the awake one to bed again without disturbing and waking the rest.
-And I understand perfectly well that they fail to sleep until 07:00
-some times, as there is no way for them to know if it is before or
-after the magic moment without coming and asking us parents.</p>
-
-<p>But yesterday I came up with a method to solve this problem.  It
-involve home automation.  A few years ago I bought a
-<a href="http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick">Tellstick</a> and RF
-switches at the local <a href="http://www.clasohlson.com/">Clas
-Ohlson</a> shop, allowing me to control lights and other electrical
-gadgets using my Linux server.  When I moved from the old flat to a
-small house, I put away all this equipment as most of the lighting in
-the house was not using wall sockets and thus not easy to connect to
-the gadgets I had.  But recently I bought a
-<a href="http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick_net">Tellstick
-Net</a> to be able to read sensor input as well as control power
-sockets.  I want to control ovens in the basement to avoid the pipes
-to freeze, and monitor the humidity to detect flooding.  The default
-setup for Tellstick Net is to be controlled by the vendor web service,
-which to me is a security problem, but it is also possible to build
-ones own
-<a href="http://developer.telldus.com/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware">firmware
-with local access</A> instead of being controlled by a Swedish
-company, thanks to the release of the GPL licensed firmware source
-code.  I plan to get that running before I let it control anything
-important.  But while working on this, one idea to make it easier for
-the kids came to me yesterday.  We can set up a night light controlled
-by the computer, and turn it automatically on at 07:00.  The kids can
-then check the light in the morning to know if they are supposed to
-get up or not.  They joined me in setting everything up, and I
-repeated the concept several times before bed times to make sure they
-remembered to check the light before getting up in the morning.</p>
-
-<p>We tested it this morning, and all the kids stayed in bed until
-after 07:00, and every one of them commented on the fact that the
-"morning light" was turned on and signalled that the morning had
-arrived.  So this look like a success, and I am excited to see how
-this develops the next few days. :) I really hope this can allow us
-all to sleep a bit longer in the morning.</p>
-
-<p>A nice advantage of this setup is that we can remote control when
-to tell the kids to get up.  We do not have to wait until 07:00, and
-can also delay it if we want to.</p>
