  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Om noen år skal mine barn antagelig begynne på skolen i Oslo.  Der
  15 skal de blant annet lære seg å verdsette og håndheve sine egne grenser
  16 og beskytte sin personlige integritet og privatsfære.  Det blir ikke
  17 enkelt når ledelsen i Osloskolen med vitende og vilje legger opp til å
  18 krenke elevenes privatsfære ved å la politiet ransake elevene med
  19 narkohund i klasserommet.  Jon Wessel-Aas har publisert noen
  20 interessante kommentarer om hvorfor dette er ulovlig.

  24   &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?p=1293&quot;&gt;Bruk av narkohund i
  25     klasserom – fra vondt til verre&lt;/a&gt; (2013-03-09)&lt;/li&gt;

  27   &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?p=1018&quot;&gt;Ulovlig og
  28     menneskerettsstridig bruk av narkohund i klasserom&lt;/a&gt;
  29     (2012-03-12)&lt;/li&gt;

  33 &lt;p&gt;Jeg er veldig glad for at han bidrar med argumenter og forklaringer
  34 vi foreldre kan ta med oss når vi skal protestere på og få en slutt på
  35 denne forkastelige praksisen.  Narkotikaproblemet må adresseres på
  36 andre måter som ikke krenker barn og ungdoms integritet.  Jeg ønsker
  37 ikke at mine barn skal læres opp til å akseptere radering av
  38 privatlivets fred, men heller at de skal læres opp til å sloss imot
  39 den innføringen av stadig mer totalitær overvåkning som har pågått
  40 over mange år i Norge.  &lt;/p&gt;

 142                 <title>Frikanalen - Complete TV station organised using the web</title>
 143                 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Frikanalen___Complete_TV_station_organised_using_the_web.html</link>
 144                 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Frikanalen___Complete_TV_station_organised_using_the_web.html</guid>
 145                 <pubDate>Sun, 3 Mar 2013 07:15:00 +0100</pubDate>
 146                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Do you want to set up your own TV station, schedule videos and
 147 broadcast them on the air?  Using free software?  With video on demand
 148 support using
 149 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digistan.org/open-standard:definition&quot;&gt;free and
 150 open standards&lt;/a&gt;?  Included a web based video stream as well?  And
 151 administrate it all in your web browser from anywhere in the world?  A
 152 few years now the Norwegian public access TV-channel
 153 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt; have been building a
 154 system to do just this.  The source code for the solution is licensed
 155 using the GNU LGPL, and
 156 &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/Frikanalen&quot;&gt;available from github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 157
 158 &lt;p&gt;The idea is simple.  You upload a video file over the web, and
 159 attach meta information to the file.  You select a time slot in the
 160 program schedule, and when the time come it is played on the air and
 161 in the web stream.  It is also made available in a video on demand
 162 solution for anyone to see it also outside its scheduled time.  All
 163 you need to run a TV station - using your web browser.&lt;/p&gt;
 164
 165 &lt;p&gt;There are several parts to this web based solution.  I&#39;ll mention
 166 the three most important ones.  The first part is the database of
 167 videos and the schedule.  This is written in Django and include a REST
 168 API.  The current database is SQLite, but the plan is to migrate it to
 169 PostgreSQL.  At the moment this system can be tested on
 170 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.frikanalen.tv/&quot;&gt;beta.frikanalen.tv&lt;/a&gt;.  The
 171 second part is the video playout, taking the schedule information from
 172 the database and providing a video stream to broadcast.  This is done
 173 using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.casparcg.com/&quot;&gt;CasparCG from SVT&lt;/a&gt; and
 174 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mltframework.org/&quot;&gt;Media Lovin&#39; Toolkit&lt;/a&gt;.  Video
 175 signal distribution is handled using
 176 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ob-encoder.com/&quot;&gt;Open Broadcast Encoder&lt;/a&gt;.  The
 177 third part is the converter, handling the transformation of uploaded
 178 video files to a format useful for broadcasting, streaming and video
 179 on demand.  It is still very much work in progress, so it is not yet
 180 decided what it will end up using.  Note that the source of the latter
 181 two parts are not yet pushed to github.  The lead author want to clean
 182 them up a bit more first.&lt;/p&gt;
 183
 184 &lt;p&gt;The development is coordinated on the
 185 &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.freenode.net/%23frikanalen&quot;&gt;#frikanalen IRC
 186 channel&lt;/a&gt; (irc.freenode.net), and discussed on
 187 &lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/frikanalen&quot;&gt;the
 188 frikanalen mailing list&lt;/a&gt;. The lead developer is Benjamin Bruheim
 189 (phed on IRC).  Anyone is welcome to participate in the
 190 development.&lt;/p&gt;
