+		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
+keep gaining new users.  Some weeks ago, a person showed up on IRC,
+&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org/#debian-edu&quot;&gt;#debian-edu&lt;/a&gt;, with a
+wish to contribute, and I managed to get a interview with this great
+contributor Roger Marsal to learn more about his background.&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;My name is Roger Marsal, I&#39;m 27 years old (1986 generation) and I
+live in Barcelona, Spain. I&#39;ve got a strong business background and I
+work as a patrimony manager and as a real estate agent.  Additionally,
+I&#39;ve co-founded a British based tech company that is nowadays on the
+last development phase of a new social networking concept.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m a Linux enthusiast that started its journey with Ubuntu four years
+ago and have recently switched to Debian seeking rock solid stability
+and as a necessary step to gain expertise.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In a nutshell, I spend my days working and learning as much as I
+can to face both my job, entrepreneur project and feed my Linux
+hunger.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&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;I discovered the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ltsp.org/&quot;&gt;LTSP&lt;/a&gt; advantages
+with &quot;Ubuntu 12.04 alternate install&quot; and after a year of use I
+started looking for an alternative.  Even though I highly value and
+respect the Ubuntu project, I thought it was necessary for me to
+change to a more robust and stable alternative.  As far as I was using
+Debian on my personal laptop I thought it would be fine to install
+Debian and configure an LTSP server myself.  Surprised, I discovered
+that the Debian project also supported a kind of Edubuntu equivalent,
+and after having some pain I obtained a Debian Edu network up and
+running.  I just loved it.&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;I found a main advantage in that, once you know &quot;the tips and
+tricks&quot;, a new installation just works out of the box. It&#39;s the most
+complete alternative I&#39;ve found to create an LTSP network. All the
+other distributions seems to be made of plastic, Debian Edu seems to
+be made of steel.&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;I found two main disadvantages.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m not an expert but I&#39;ve got notions and I had to spent a considerable
+amount of time trying to bring up a standard network topology. I&#39;m quite
+stubborn and I just worked until I did but I&#39;m sure many people with few
+resources (not big schools, but academies for example) would have switched
+or dropped.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s amazing how such a complex system like Debian Edu has achieved
+this out-of-the-box state. Even though tweaking without breaking gets
+more difficult, as more factors have to be considered. This can
+discourage many people too.&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 use Debian, Firefox, Okular, Inkscape, LibreOffice and
+Virtualbox.&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 don&#39;t think there is a need for a particular strategy. The free
+attribute in both &quot;freedom&quot; and &quot;no price&quot; meanings is what will
+really bring free software to schools. In my experience I can think of
+the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.r-project.org/&quot;&gt;&quot;R&quot; statistical language&lt;/a&gt;; a
+few years a ago was an extremely nerd tool for university people.
+Today it&#39;s being increasingly used to teach statistics at many
+different level of studies.  I believe free and open software will
+increasingly gain popularity, but I&#39;m sure schools will be one of the
+first scenarios where this will happen.&lt;/p&gt;
