-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/First_prototype_ready_making_hardware_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">asked
-for testers</a> for my prototype for making Debian better at handling
-pluggable hardware devices, which I
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">set
-out to create</a> earlier this month.  Several valuable testers showed
-up, and caused me to really want to to open up the development to more
-people.  But before I did this, I want to come up with a sensible name
-for this project.  Today I finally decided on a new name, and I have
-renamed the project from hw-support-handler to this new name.  In the
-process, I moved the source to git and made it available as a
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/isenkram.git">collab-maint</a>
-repository in Debian.  The new name?  It is <strong>Isenkram</strong>.
-To fetch and build the latest version of the source, use</p>
-
-<pre>
-git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/isenkram.git
-cd isenkram && git-buildpackage -us -uc
-</pre>
-
-<p>I have not yet adjusted all files to use the new name yet.  If you
-want to hack on the source or improve the package, please go ahead.
-But please talk to me first on IRC or via email before you do major
-changes, to make sure we do not step on each others toes. :)</p>
-
-<p>If you wonder what 'isenkram' is, it is a Norwegian word for iron
-stuff, typically meaning tools, nails, screws, etc.  Typical hardware
-stuff, in other words.  I've been told it is the Norwegian variant of
-the German word eisenkram, for those that are familiar with that
-word.</p>

+langt steg tilbake når det gjelder å sikre like rettigheter for alle
+når en kommuniserer med det offentlige.  For noen dager siden ble jeg
+oppmerksom på at Direktoratet for forvaltning og IKT (DIFI) og

+«Utkast til endring av standardiseringsforskriften» datert 2013-02-06
+har følgende triste oppsummering fra høringen i saken:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+Det kom noen innvendinger på forslaget om å fjerne ODF som
+obligatorisk standard for redigerbare dokumenter. Innvendingene har
+ikke blitt ilagt avgjørende vekt.
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Ved å fjerne ODF som obligatorisk format ved publisering av
+redigerbare dokumenter setter en Norge tiår tilbake.  Det som vil skje
+er at offentlige etater går tilbake til kun å publisere dokumenter på
+et av de mange formatene til Microsoft Office, og alle som ikke
+aksepterer bruksvilkårene til Microsoft eller ikke har råd til å bruke
+penger på å få tilgang til Microsoft Office må igjen basere seg på
+verktøy fra utviklerne som er avhengig av å reversutvikle disse
+formatene.  I og med at ISO-spesifikasjonen for OOXML ikke komplett og
+korrekt spesifiserer formatene til MS Office (men er nyttige å titte i
+når en reversutvikler), er en tilbake til en situasjon der en ikke har
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fri_og__pen_standard__slik_Digistan_ser_det.html">en
+fri og åpen standard</a> å forholde seg til, men i stedet må springe
+etter Microsoft.  Alle andre leverandører enn Microsoft vil dermed ha
+en seriøs ulempe.  Det er som å fjerne krav om bruk av meter som
+måleenhet, og heretter aksepterer alle måleenheter som like gyldige,
+når en vet at den mest brukte enheten vil være armlengden til Steve
+Ballmer slik Microsoft måler den.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg er ikke sikker på om forslaget er vedtatt av regjeringen ennå.
+Kristian Bergem hos DIFI nevnte på et møte forrige tirsdag at han
+trodde det var vedtatt i statsråd 8. mars, men jeg har ikke klart å
+finne en skriftlig kilde på regjeringen.no som bekrefter dette.
+Kanskje det ennå ikke er for sent...</p>
+
+<p>Jeg ba i forrige uke om innsyn i dokument 6, 7 og 8 i FAD-saken, og
+har i dag fått innsyn i dokument 7 og 8.  Ble nektet innsyn i
+dokumentet med tittelen «Oppsummering av høring om endringer i
+forskrift om IT-standarder i offentlig forvaltning» med hjemmel i
+off. lovens §15.1, så det er vanskelig å vite hvordan argumentene fra
+høringen ble mottatt og forstått av saksbehandleren hos DIFI.  Lurer
+på hvordan jeg kan klage på at jeg ikke fikk se oppsummeringen.  Fikk

-      <div class="date">21st January 2013</div>
-      <div class="body"><p>Early this month I set out to try to
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">improve
-the Debian support for pluggable hardware devices</a>.  Now my
-prototype is working, and it is ready for a larger audience.  To test
-it, fetch the
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/">source
-from the Debian Edu subversion repository</a>, build and install the
-package.  You might have to log out and in again activate the
-autostart script.</p>
-
-<p>The design is simple:</p>
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>Add desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ causing a program
-hw-support-handlerd to start when the user log in.</li>
-
-<li>This program listen for kernel events about new hardware (directly
-from the kernel like udev does), not using HAL dbus events as I
-initially did.</li>
-
-<li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware modalias in
-the APT database, a database
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=markup">available
-via HTTP</a> and a database available as part of the package.</li>
-
-<li>If a package is mapped to the hardware in question, the package
-isn't installed yet and this is the first time the hardware was
-plugged in, show a desktop notification suggesting to install the
-package or packages.</li>
-
-<li>If the user click on the 'install package now' button, ask
-aptdaemon via the PackageKit API to install the requrired package.</li>
-
-<li>aptdaemon ask for root password or sudo password, and install the
-package while showing progress information in a window.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>I still need to come up with a better name for the system.  Here
-are some screen shots showing the prototype in action.  First the
-notification, then the password request, and finally the request to
-approve all the dependencies.  Sorry for the Norwegian Bokmål GUI.</p>

-
-<p>The prototype still need to be improved with longer timeouts, but
-is already useful.  The database of hardware to package mappings also
-need more work.  It is currently compatible with the Ubuntu way of
-storing such information in the package control file, but could be
-changed to use other formats instead or in addition to the current
-method.  I've dropped the use of discover for this mapping, as the
-modalias approach is more flexible and easier to use on Linux as long
-as the Linux kernel expose its modalias strings directly.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-21 16:50</strong>: Due to popular demand,
-here is the command required to check out and build the source: Use
-'<tt>svn checkout
-svn://svn.debian.org/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/; cd
-hw-support-handler; debuild</tt>'.  If you lack debuild, install the
-devscripts package.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-23 12:00</strong>: The project is now
-renamed to Isenkram and the source moved from the Debian Edu
-subversion repository to a Debian collab-maint git repository.  See

+review</a> on Youtube of <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux
+/ Debian Edu</a> version 6.  He installed the standalone profile and
+the video show a walk-through of of the menu content, demonstration of
+a few programs and his view of our distribution.</p>
+
+<p>There is also some really nice quotes (transcribed by me, might
+have heard wrong).  While looking thought the Graphics menu:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+"Basically everything you ever need in a school environment."
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>And as a general evaluation of the entire distribution:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+"So, yeah, a bit bloated.  It kept all the Debian stuff in there, just
+to keep it nice and GNU.  So, I do not want to go on about it, but
+lets give it 7 out of 10.  I am not going to use it.  That is because
+I am not deploying a school network.  There may be some mythical
+feature to help you deploy Skolelinux on a school network."
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>To bad he did not test the server profile, and discovered the PXE
+installation option.  It make it possible to install only the main
+server from CD, and the rest of the machines via the net, and might be
+considered the mythical feature he talk about. :)</p>
+
+<p>While looking through the menus, there is also this funny comment
+about the part of the K menu generated from the Debian menu subsystem:
+
+<blockquote>
+"[The K menu] have a special Debian section for software that no-one
+is going to look at, because it contain lots of junky stuff that you
+actually don't need in the education distribution, but have just been
+included because it isn't stripped out for some reason."
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>I guess it is yet another argument for merging the Debian menu and
+Gnome/KDE desktop menu entries into
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/DebianMenuUsingDesktopEntries">one
+consistent menu system</a> instead of two incomplete and partly
+inconsistent menu systems.</p>

+<p>Til Frikanalens støttespillere</p>
+
+<p>Frivillighetens TV kanal har med minimal støtte avviklet daglige
+sendinger siden 2009 og til tross for at statsstøtten uteble i år, er
+vi nå i full gang med å utvikle et nytt TV system som foreningen selv
+vil eie. Departementet fikk dessverre ikke med seg at nettet vil
+berike TV sendingen fremfor å gjøre den overflødig. De har nå overlatt
+finansieringen av videre drift til frivilligheten og vi håper derfor
+på deres hjelp til å søke om midler. På kjøpet får dere langt flere
+muligheter til å nå ut med deres budskap og med utbyggingen av Hybrid
+TV (nett på TV) kan vi sammen motbevise departementets påstand.</p>
+
+<p>Kostnaden med denne utviklingen er svært lav ettersom de fleste
+programmererne jobber gratis og alt er basert på åpen kildekode der
+man deler hverandres bidrag til kringkastingsorienterte systemer. I
+samarbeid med flere europeiske kanaler i EBU (SVT, BBC, NRK, ZDF, ARD,
+France Televisions etc) ønsker vi å bygge opp et nettverk for delt
+support og åpen kildekode der Frikanalen er den eneste sandkassen hvor
+ny teknologi kan testes på luft. Riks TV åpner for annonsering av
+nettinnhold relatert til det du ser på TV (streamevents i HbbTV)
+allerede i sommer. Med støtte fra Media Netwerk som drifter Frikanalen
+samt Sofia Digital som stiller med Hybrid TV server er vi & NRK sikret
+en sentral rolle i utprøvingen. Det vil da bli mulig og streame
+direkte til Riks TV sine nye mottakere (og nye IDTV'er) i HD samt at
+TV'n kan annonsere en link til deres organisasjonssider, med
+oppdaterte nyheter (RSS feeds), relaterte videoer etc., under
+avviklingen av deres innslag.</p>
+
+<p>Vi tror sendingene på den nye nettstyrte TV-kanalen vil bli rikere enn
+på den kommersielle plattformen vi har vært på så langt. Brukerne vil
+nå få en tettere integrasjon med sosiale medier samt at innholdet
+etterhvert kommer ut på Hybrid TV og mobile enheter. Teknisk ansvarlig
+i Frikanalen, Erik Vold, er sentral i utviklingen av streamingdelen
+for tv.nrk.no (Ã¥rets produkt i PC World) og erfaringen NRK har gjort
+på mobile enheter kan videreføres til oss. Det er heller ingen tvil om
+at Hybrid TV vil bli en suksess også i Norge. Erik sitter i Nordig som
+har vedtatt en felles standard for de nordiske kringkasterne basert på
+HbbTV.  Denne standarden bruker web-protokoller som gjør det like
+enkelt og billig å utvikle tjenester for Hybrid TV som å lage en
+nettside. Samtlige nye TV apparater solgt i Norden vil ha støtte for
+HbbTV og med det tror vi oppslutningen vil bli like stor som ellers i
+Europa (Tyskland og Frankrike tredoblet antall HbbTV-brukere i
+fjor). Vi forventer også mye d rahjelp fra disse foregangslandene. Vår
+utvikler Tore Sinding Bekkedal er i skriv ende stund på en HbbTV
+workshop med EBU-medlemmer hos IRT i München der han på vegne av NRK
+tester og utvikler ny stremingteknologi (MPEG- DASH) for
+mobile enheter og hybrid TV.</p>
+
+<p>Frikanalen har forøvrig flyttet inn i nye kostnadsfrie lokaler på
+Chateau Neuf.  Med massiv hjelp fra frivillige får vi der en
+flerkameraregi i egnede lokaler. Dette åpner for debatter, konserter,
+events og mye spennende innhold i samarbeid med Student TV'ene.</p>
+
+<p>Med hjelp fra NUUG har også streamingdelen av systemet fått plass på
+Uninett (Forskningsparken) og dermed er vi på Norges beste
+internettlinjer. Vi åpner med dette for live mottak fra samtlige
+medlemmer og på sikt kan vi tilby HD på hybrid TV og PC / MAC / mobil.</p>
+
+<p>Avvikling på luft skjer allerede med egenutviklede løsninger i åpen
+kildekode (playout og live-koding). Det er også mulig å se første
+byggetrinn med programoversikt og videoer på nett, men foreløpig kun
+for nettleserne Opera, Chrome og Firefox:
+<a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/guide/">http://beta.frikanalen.tv/guide/</a>
+og
+<a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/">http://beta.frikanalen.tv/video/</a>. Kom
+gjerne med ønsker og tilbakemeldinger til vår hovedutvikler Benjamin
+Bruheim: grolgh (at) gmail.com</p>
+
+<p>Med en tettere tilknytning til Akademia og NRK, er det god grunn til å
+tro at utviklingen vil skyte fart og at vi raskere kommer ut med
+dagsaktuelt innhold.</p>
+
+<p>Vi sender i dag på Riks TV og Altibox, men ikke lenger på TV8. Det er
+viktig for våre brukere igjen å komme ut på Get og Canal Digital,
+dermed er det svært heldig at vi nå har formidlingsplikt på kabel. Til
+tross for at det tar noe tid å få nye avtaler på plass, med frivillig
+juridisk bistand, vil vi sannsynligvis komme bedre ut i andre enden
+også her.  Formidlingsplikten gjelder samtlige kabeldistribusjoner i
+Norge, ikke bare de regionene TV8 hadde avtale med.</p>
+
+<p>Om alt dette skal se dagens lys er vi avhengig av en
+grunnfinansiering. Deres medlemsavgifter er i så måte et svært viktig
+bidrag som vi er veldig takknemlige for.  Vi ser oss likevel nødt til
+å be dere om å delta i arbeidet med å dekke de resterende
+driftskostnader. Frikanalen sin arbeidskapasitet er betydelig redusert
+etter at foreningen ikke lenger kunne finansiere en daglig leder, men
+allmøtet kan åpne for at flere bidrar til inntjening (Ekstraordinær
+generalforsamling foreslo å tillate sponsorplakater på sendeflaten og
+deler av disse inntektene kan tilfalle kanalen).  HÃ¥per alle
+medlemmene kan hjelpe oss med å skrive søknader og skaffe sponsorer,
+eller i det minste komme med gode forslag til inntjening. Det er ikke
+mye som skal til for å klare videre drift, kun 0,5 mill. pr år.</p>
+
+<p>Med en støtte som tilsvarer en norsk kortfilm vil vi kunne redde
+sendearkivet for flere tusen videoer bygget opp av frivilligheten
+gjennom 5 år og vi dobler kapasiteten for å ta imot nye (De som

-<p>You will notice that there are no RAM and CPU requirements in the
-list.  The reason is simply that the specifications on laptops the
-last 10-15 years have been sufficient for my needs, and I have to look
-at other features to choose my laptop.  But are there still made as
-robust laptops as my X41?  The Thinkpad X60/X61 proved to be less
-robust, and Thinkpads seem to be heading in the wrong direction since
-Lenovo took over.  But I've been told that X220 and X1 Carbon might
-still be useful.</p>
-
-<p>Perhaps I should rethink my needs, and look for a pad with an
-external keyboard?  I'll have to check the
-<a href="http://www.linux-laptop.net/">Linux Laptops site</a> for
-well-supported laptops, or perhaps just buy one preinstalled from one
-of the vendors listed on the <a href="http://linuxpreloaded.com/">Linux
-Pre-loaded site</a>.</p>
+<p>Jeg håper noen av mine lesere med dette ser verdien av Frikanalen
+og melder seg inn for å sende sine videoer ut på TV til RiksTV og
+Altibox-seerne.  Det haster. Årsmøtet i foreningen Frikanalen skal
+straks avholdes, og innen den tid må en redningsplan være på plass.
+NUUG bidrar allerede litt ved å organisere utviklersamlinger og
+finansiere litt mat og drikke til de frivillige som stiller opp på
+dugnadsbasis for å utvikle den tekniske løsningen.  Det er ikke nok
+til å redde kanalen, men gir et lite steg i riktig retning.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Update 2013-03-13 13:00</strong>: Epostlistelenkene
+fungerer ikke lenger, da epostarkivet nå ikke lenger er tilgjengelig
+for ikke-abonnenter.  Korrigerte teksten fra styret litt etter
+oppfordring fra Frikanalen-styret.</p>

-<p>In Ubuntu this mechanism is combined with support in the browser
-itself to query for plugins and propose to install the needed

-to hardware.  This allow the system to look up and suggest relevant
-packages when I plug in some new hardware into my machine, and replace
-discover and discover-data as the database used to map hardware to
-packages.</p>
-
-<p>I create a modaliases file with entries like the following,

-the package name) and globs matching the relevant hardware

-
-<p><blockquote>
-Package: package-name
-<br>Modaliases: module(modaliasglob, modaliasglob, modaliasglob)</p>
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>It is fairly trivial to write code to find the relevant packages
-for a given modalias value using this file.</p>
-
-<p>An entry like this would suggest the video and picture application
-cheese for many USB web cameras (interface bus class 0E01):</p>
-

-Package: cheese
-<br>Modaliases: cheese(usb:v*p*d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip*)</p>

-
-<p>I believe the format is compatible with the format of the Packages
-file in the Debian archive.  Ubuntu already uses their Packages file
-to store their mappings from packages to hardware.</p>
-
-<p>By adding a XB-Modaliases: header in debian/control, any .deb can
-announce the hardware it support in a way my prototype understand.
-This allow those publishing packages in an APT source outside the
-Debian archive as well as those backporting packages to make sure the
-hardware mapping are included in the package meta information.  I've
-tested such header in the pymissile package, and its modalias mapping
-is working as it should with my prototype.  It even made it to Ubuntu
-Raring.</p>
-
-<p>To test if it was possible to look up supported hardware using only
-the shell tools available in the Debian installer, I wrote a shell
-implementation of the lookup code.  The idea is to create files for
-each modalias and let the shell do the matching.  Please check out and
-try the
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/hw-support-lookup?view=co">hw-support-lookup</a>
-shell script.  It run without any extra dependencies and fetch the
-hardware mappings from the Debian archive and the subversion
-repository where I currently work on my prototype.</p>
-
-<p>When I use it on a machine with a yubikey inserted, it suggest to
-install yubikey-personalization:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-% ./hw-support-lookup
-<br>yubikey-personalization
-<br>%
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>When I run it on my Thinkpad X40 with a PCMCIA/CardBus slot, it
-propose to install the pcmciautils package:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-% ./hw-support-lookup 
-<br>pcmciautils
-<br>%
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>If you know of any hardware-package mapping that should be added to
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=co">my
-database</a>, please tell me about it.</p>
-
-<p>It could be possible to generate several of the mappings between
-packages and hardware.  One source would be to look at packages with
-kernel modules, ie packages with *.ko files in /lib/modules/, and
-extract their modalias information.  Another would be to look at
-packages with udev rules, ie packages with files in
-/lib/udev/rules.d/, and extract their vendor/model information to
-generate a modalias matching rule.  I have not tested any of these to
-see if it work.</p>
-
-<p>If you want to help implementing a system to let us propose what
-packages to install when new hardware is plugged into a Debian
-machine, please send me an email or talk to me on

+      <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>

-
-<p>The modalias entries for a given Linux machine can be found using
-this shell script:</p>
-
-<pre>
-find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | sort -u
-</pre>
-
-<p>The supported modalias globs for a given kernel module can be found

-% /sbin/modinfo psmouse | grep alias:
-alias:          serio:ty05pr*id*ex*
-alias:          serio:ty01pr*id*ex*
-%
-</pre>
-
-<p><strong>PCI subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>A typical PCI entry can look like this.  This is an Intel Host
-Bridge memory controller:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-pci:v00008086d00002770sv00001028sd000001ADbc06sc00i00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>This represent these values:</p>
-
-<pre>
- v   00008086  (vendor)
- d   00002770  (device)
- sv  00001028  (subvendor)
- sd  000001AD  (subdevice)
- bc  06        (bus class)
- sc  00        (bus subclass)
- i   00        (interface)
-</pre>
-
-<p>The vendor/device values are the same values outputted from 'lspci
--n' as 8086:2770.  The bus class/subclass is also shown by lspci as
-0600.  The 0600 class is a host bridge.  Other useful bus values are
-0300 (VGA compatible card) and 0200 (Ethernet controller).</p>
-
-<p>Not sure how to figure out the interface value, nor what it
-means.</p>
-
-<p><strong>USB subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>Some typical USB entries can look like this.  This is an internal
-USB hub in a laptop:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-usb:v1D6Bp0001d0206dc09dsc00dp00ic09isc00ip00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Here is the values included in this alias:</p>
-
-<pre>
- v    1D6B  (device vendor)
- p    0001  (device product)
- d    0206  (bcddevice)
- dc     09  (device class)
- dsc    00  (device subclass)
- dp     00  (device protocol)
- ic     09  (interface class)
- isc    00  (interface subclass)
- ip     00  (interface protocol)
-</pre>
-
-<p>The 0900 device class/subclass means hub.  Some times the relevant
-class is in the interface class section.  For a simple USB web camera,
-these alias entries show up:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc01ip00
-<br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc02ip00

-<br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc02ip00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Interface class 0E01 is video control, 0E02 is video streaming (aka
-camera), 0101 is audio control device and 0102 is audio streaming (aka
-microphone).  Thus this is a camera with microphone included.</p>

-<p><strong>ACPI subtype</strong></p>
-

-</pre>
-
-<p>The chassis type values are not always accurately set in the DMI
-table.  For example my home server is a tower, but the DMI modalias
-claim it is a desktop.</p>
-
-<p><strong>SerIO subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>This type is used for PS/2 mouse plugs.  One example is from my
-test machine:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-serio:ty01pr00id00ex00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The values present are</p>
-
-<pre>
-  ty  01  (type)
-  pr  00  (prototype)
-  id  00  (id)
-  ex  00  (extra)
-</pre>
-
-<p>This type is supported by the psmouse driver.  I am not sure what
-the valid values are.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Other subtypes</strong></p>
-
-<p>There are heaps of other modalias subtypes according to
-file2alias.c.  There is the rest of the list from that source: amba,
-ap, bcma, ccw, css, eisa, hid, i2c, ieee1394, input, ipack, isapnp,
-mdio, of, parisc, pcmcia, platform, scsi, sdio, spi, ssb, vio, virtio,
-vmbus, x86cpu and zorro.  I did not spend time documenting all of
-these, as they do not seem relevant for my intended use with mapping
-hardware to packages when new stuff is inserted during run time.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Looking up kernel modules using modalias values</strong></p>
-
-<p>To check which kernel modules provide support for a given modalias,
-one can use the following shell script:</p>
-
-<pre>
-  for id in $(find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | sort -u); do \
-    echo "$id" ; \
-    /sbin/modprobe --show-depends "$id"|sed 's/^/  /' ; \
-  done
-</pre>
-
-<p>The output can look like this (only the first few entries as the
-list is very long on my test machine):</p>
-

+      <div class="body"><p>Etter en lang pause og travle uker har jeg endelig klart å få
+samlet et nytt intervju med en av folkene i
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>-miljøet.
+Denne gang er det Helge Tore Høyland, en mangeårig bidragsyter på
+epostlistene og ellers i prosjektet.</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><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><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><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><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><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>

-      <div class="date"> 9th January 2013</div>
-      <div class="body"><p>One thing that annoys me with Debian and Linux distributions in
-general, is that there is a great package management system with the
-ability to automatically install software packages by downloading them
-from the distribution mirrors, but no way to get it to automatically
-install the packages I need to use the hardware I plug into my
-machine.  Even if the package to use it is easily available from the
-Linux distribution.  When I plug in a LEGO Mindstorms NXT, it could
-suggest to automatically install the python-nxt, nbc and t2n packages
-I need to talk to it.  When I plug in a Yubikey, it could propose the
-yubikey-personalization package.  The information required to do this
-is available, but no-one have pulled all the pieces together.</p>
-
-<p>Some years ago, I proposed to
-<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg01206.html">use
-the discover subsystem to implement this</a>.  The idea is fairly
-simple:
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>Add a desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ pointing to a program
-  starting when a user log in.</li>
-
-<li>Set this program up to listen for kernel events emitted when new
-  hardware is inserted into the computer.</li>
-
-<li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware ID in a
-  database mapping to packages, and take note of any non-installed
-  packages.</li>
-
-<li>Show a message to the user proposing to install the discovered
-  package, and make it easy to install it.</li>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>I am not sure what the best way to implement this is, but my
-initial idea was to use dbus events to discover new hardware, the
-discover database to find packages and
-<a href="http://www.packagekit.org/">PackageKit</a> to install
-packages.</p>
-
-<p>Yesterday, I found time to try to implement this idea, and the
-draft package is now checked into
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/">the
-Debian Edu subversion repository</a>.  In the process, I updated the
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover-data.html">discover-data</a>
-package to map the USB ids of LEGO Mindstorms and Yubikey devices to
-the relevant packages in Debian, and uploaded a new version
-2.2013.01.09 to unstable.  I also discovered that the current 
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover.html">discover</a>
-package in Debian no longer discovered any USB devices, because
-/proc/bus/usb/devices is no longer present.  I ported it to use
-libusb as a fall back option to get it working.  The fixed package
-version 2.1.2-6 is now in experimental (didn't upload it to unstable
-because of the freeze).</p>
-
-<p>With this prototype in place, I can insert my Yubikey, and get this
-desktop notification to show up (only once, the first time it is
-inserted):</p>
-
-<p align="center"><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-09-hw-autoinstall.png"></p>
-
-<p>For this prototype to be really useful, some way to automatically
-install the proposed packages by pressing the "Please install
-program(s)" button should to be implemented.</p>
-
-<p>If this idea seem useful to you, and you want to help make it
-happen, please help me update the discover-data database with mappings
-from hardware to Debian packages.  Check if 'discover-pkginstall -l'
-list the package you would like to have installed when a given
-hardware device is inserted into your computer, and report bugs using
-reportbug if it isn't.  Or, if you know of a better way to provide
-such mapping, please let me know.</p>
-
-<p>This prototype need more work, and there are several questions that
-should be considered before it is ready for production use.  Is dbus
-the correct way to detect new hardware?  At the moment I look for HAL
-dbus events on the system bus, because that is the events I could see
-on my Debian Squeeze KDE desktop.  Are there better events to use?
-How should the user be notified?  Is the desktop notification
-mechanism the best option, or should the background daemon raise a
-popup instead?  How should packages be installed?  When should they
-not be installed?</p>
-
-<p>If you want to help getting such feature implemented in Debian,
-please send me an email. :)</p>

+      <div class="date">12th February 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>Here in Norway, electronic invoices are spreading, and the
+<a href="http://www.anskaffelser.no/e-handel/faktura">solution promoted
+by the Norwegian government</a> require that invoices are sent through
+one of the approved facilitators, and it is not possible to send
+electronic invoices without an agreement with one of these
+facilitators.  This seem like a needless limitation to be able to
+transfer invoice information between buyers and sellers.  My preferred
+solution would be to just transfer the invoice information directly
+between seller and buyer, for example using SMTP, or some HTTP based
+protocol like REST or SOAP.  But this might also be overkill, as the
+"electronic" information can be transferred using paper invoices too,
+using a simple bar code.  My bar code encoding of choice would be QR
+codes, as this encoding can be read by any smart phone out there.  The
+content of the code could be anything, but I would go with
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard">the vCard format</a>, as
+it too is supported by a lot of computer equipment these days.</p>
+
+<p>The vCard format support extentions, and the invoice specific
+information can be included using such extentions.  For example an
+invoice from SLX Debian Labs (picked because we
+<a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html">ask
+for donations to the Debian Edu project</a> and thus have bank account
+information publicly available) for NOK 1000.00 could have these extra
+fields:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+X-INVOICE-NUMBER:1
+X-INVOICE-AMOUNT:NOK1000.00
+X-INVOICE-KID:123412341234
+X-INVOICE-MSG:Donation to Debian Edu
+X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER:16040884339
+X-BANK-IBAN-NUMBER:NO8516040884339
+X-BANK-SWIFT-NUMBER:DNBANOKKXXX
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>The X-BANK-ACCOUNT-NUMBER field was proposed in a stackoverflow
+answer regarding
+<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10045664/storing-bank-account-in-vcard-file">how
+to put bank account information into a vCard</a>.  For payments in
+Norway, either X-INVOICE-KID (payment ID) or X-INVOICE-MSG could be
+used to pass on information to the seller when paying the invoice.</p>
+
+<p>The complete vCard could look like this:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+BEGIN:VCARD
+VERSION:2.1
+ORG:SLX Debian Labs Foundation
+ADR;WORK:;;Gunnar Schjelderups vei 29D;OSLO;;0485;Norway

+END:VCARD
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>The resulting QR code created using
+<a href="http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/">qrencode</a> would look
+like this, and should be readable (and thus checkable) by any smart
+phone, or for example the <a href="http://zbar.sourceforge.net/">zbar
+bar code reader</a> and feed right into the approval and accounting
+system.</p>
+
+<p><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-02-12-qr-invoice.png"></p>
+
+<p>The extension fields will most likely not show up in any normal
+vCard reader, so those parts would have to go directly into a system
+handling invoices.  I am a bit unsure how vCards without name parts
+are handled, but a simple test indicate that this work just fine.</p>
