  25       <div class="body"><p>I am currently working on a
  26 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html">project
  27 to translate</a> the book
  28 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig
  29 to Norwegian.  And the source we base our translation on is the
  30 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook">docbook</a> version, to
  31 allow us to use po4a and .po files to handle the translation, and for
  32 this to work well the docbook source document need to be properly
  33 tagged.  The source files of this project is available from
  34 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
  35
  36 <p>The problem is that the docbook source have flaws, and we have
  37 no-one involved in the project that is a docbook expert.  Is there a
  38 docbook expert somewhere that is interested in helping us create a
  39 well tagged docbook version of the book, and adjust our build process
  40 for the PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book?  This will provide a
  41 well tagged English version (our source document), and make it a lot
  42 easier for us to create a good Norwegian version.  If you can and want
  43 to help, please get in touch with me or fork the github project and
  44 send pull requests with fixes. :)</p>

  59       <div class="body"><p>Et ofte brukt sitat i fri programvareverden er Stallman-sitatet
  60 «<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.en">Free Software,
  61 "free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer"</a>».  Men det er
  62 ikke direkte overførbart til norsk, da det baserer seg på koblingen
  63 gratis/fri på engelsk.  En direkte oversettelse ville være «Fri
  64 programvare, "fri" som i "talefrihet", ikke som "gratis øl"», og det
  65 går jo glipp av poenget.  I forbindelse med at vi er
  66 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html">igang
  67 med å oversette</a> <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a>
  68 av Lawrence Lessig, måtte jeg forsøke a finne en bedre
  69 oversettelse.</p>
  70
  71 <p>Mitt forslag til oversettelse blir dermed å droppe ølet, og heller
  72 fokusere på det kjente norske uttrykket "fri bar".  Dermed blir
  73 oversettelsen «Fri programvare - "fri" som i "talefrihet", ikke som i
  74 "fri bar"».</p>
  75
  76 <p>Noen som har bedre forslag?</p>
  77
  78 <p>Forøvrig bruker jeg fri programvare som et samlebegrep på norsk for
  79 begge de engelske uttrykkene Free Software og Open Source, jamfør

  95       <div class="date">11th July 2012</div>
  96       <div class="body"><p>Da opphavsrettsloven ble revidert i forrige runde rundt 2005, var
  97 det skummelt å se hvor lite stortingsrepresentantene forsto hvordan
  98 Internet påvirket folks forhold til kulturuttrykk, og min venn Vidar
  99 og jeg spekulert på at det hadde kanskje vært fornuftig om samtlige
 100 representanter fikk en norsk utgave av boken
 101 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> av Lawrence Lessig
 102 som forklarte litt om problemstillingene.  Vi endte opp med å
 103 prioritere utvikling i
 104 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>-prosjektet i
 105 stedet, så den oversatte boken så aldri dagens lys.  Men i forrige uke
 106 ble jeg inspirert til å ta opp tråden og se om det er mulig å få til
 107 bokprosjektet denne gang, da det er tydelig at kulturdepartementet i
 108 sitt nye forsøk på å gjøre opphavsrettsloven enda mer ubalansert til
 109 fordel for forlag og store mediehus fortsatt trenger en annen vinkling
 110 i debatten.</p>
 111
 112 <p>Planen min er å oversette boka på dugnad, sette den opp for
 113 trykking med en av de mange
 114 <a href="http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trykk_på_forespørsel">trykk på
 115 forespørsel</a>-tjenestene, skaffe sponsor til å finansiere trykking
 116 til stortingsrepresentantene og alle som har bidratt med
 117 oversettelser.  Kanskje vi også kan få en avtale med et forlag om
 118 publisering når boka er ferdig?  Kommentarene til
 119 <a href="http://newth.net/eirik/2011/04/01/e-selvpublisering/">Eirik
 120 Newth</a> og
 121 <a href="http://www.espen.com/norskblogg/archives/2008/09/erfaringer_med_publishing_on_demand.html">Espen
 122 Andersen</a> om erfaringene med selvpublisering og trykk på
 123 forespørsel er interessante og ikke avskrekkende, og jeg mistenker at
 124 <a href="http://www.lulu.com/">Lulu</a> er en grei leverandør av
 125 trykketjenester til prosjektet.</p>
 126
 127 <p>Jeg har satt opp
 128 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">et
 129 Github-prosjekt</a> for a lage boken, basert på Docbook-utgaven jeg
 130 fant fra Hans Schou.  Skolelinux har hatt byggesystem for å lage
 131 oversatt HTML og PDF-utgave av Docbook-bøker i en årrekke, så jeg har
 132 kopiert og utvidet dette oppsettet.  Originalteksten er i Docbook, og
 133 oversettelsen gjøres i .po-filer med hjelp av vanlige
 134 oversetterverktøy brukt i fri programvareverden.  Dernest tar
 135 byggesystemet over og lager PDF og EPUB-utgave av den oversatte
 136 teksten.  Resultatet kan ses i Github-prosjektet.  For å komme raskt
 137 igang har jeg brukt maskinoversettelse av alle tekstbitene fra engelsk
 138 til norsk, noe som grovoversatte ca. 1300 av de ca. 1700 tekstbitene
 139 boken består av.  Jeg håper nå at flere kan bidra med å få
 140 oversettelsen på plass, slik at teksten kan være klar i løpet av
 141 høsten.  Når alt er oversatt må teksten gjennomgås for feil og
 142 konsistent språk.  Totalt er det nok mange timer som trengs for å
 143 gjennomføre oversettelsen.</p>
 144
 145 <p>Økonomien i dette er ikke avskrekkende.  169
 146 stortingsrepresentanter og nesten like mange varamedlemmer bør få
 147 bøker, og estimert produduksjonskostnad for hver bok er rundt 6 EURO i
 148 følge et raskt estimat fra Lulu.  Jeg vet ennå ikke hvor mange sider
 149 det blir i størrelsen 5,5" x 8.5" (det er ca. 140 sider i A4-format),
 150 så jeg gjettet på 400 sider.  Jeg tror originalutgaven har nesten 400
 151 sider.  For 169*2 eksemplarer snakker vi om en trykkekostnad på
 152 ca. 2000 EURO, dvs. ca 15 000 NOK.  Det burde være mulig å finne en
 153 sponsor for å dekke en slik sum.  I tillegg kommer distribusjon og
 154 porto, som antagelig kommer på like mye.</p>
 155
 156 <p>Kan du bidra med oversettelse og docbook-typesetting?  Ta kontakt
 157 og send patcher i github.  Jeg legger gjerne inn folk i prosjektet
 158 slik at du kan oppdatere direkte.</p>

 172       <div class="date"> 9th July 2012</div>
 173       <div class="body"><p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu /
 174 Skolelinux</a> project have users all over the globe, but until
 175 recently we have not known about any users in Norway's neighbour
 176 country Sweden.  This changed when George Bredberg showed up in March
 177 this year on the mailing list, asking interesting questions about how
 178 to adjust and scale the just released
 179 <a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120311.html">Debian Edu
 180 Wheezy</a> setup to his liking.  He granted me an interview, and I am
 181 happy to share his answers with you here.</p>
 182
 183 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
 184
 185 <p>I'm a 44 year old country guy that have been working 12 years at
 186 the same school as 50% IT-manager and 50% Teacher. My educational
 187 background is fil.kand in history and religious beliefs, an exam as a
 188 "folkhighschool" teacher, that is, for teaching grownups.  In
 189 Norwegian I believe it's called "Vuxenupplaring". I also have a master
 190 in "Technology and social change". So I'm not really a tech guy, I
 191 just like to study how humans and technology interact and that is my
 192 perspective when working with IT.</p>
 193
 194 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 195 project?</strong></p>
 196
 197 I have followed the Skolelinux project for quite some time by
 198 now. Earlier I tested out the K12-LTSP project, which we used for some
 199 time, but I really like the idea of having a distribution aimed to be
 200 a complete solution for schools with necessary tools integrated. When
 201 K12-LTSP abandoned that idea some years ago, I started to look more
 202 seriously into Skolelinux instead.
 203
 204 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 205 Edu?</strong></p>
 206
 207 The big point of Skolelinux to me is that it is a complete
 208 distribution, ready to install. It has LDAP-support, MS Windows
 209 integration tools and so forth already configured, saving an
 210 administrator a lot of time and headache. We were using another Linux
 211 based thin-client system called Thinlinc, that has served us very
 212 well. But that Skolelinux is based on VNC and LTSP, to me, is better
 213 when it comes to the kind of multimedia used in schools. That is
 214 showing videos from Youtube or educational TV. It is also easier to
 215 mix thin clients with workstations, since the user settings will be the
 216 same. In our VNC-based solution you had to "beat around the bush" by
 217 setting up a second, hidden, home-directory for user settings for the
 218 workstations, because they will be different from the ones used on the
 219 thin clients. Skolelinux support for diskless workstations are very
 220 convenient since a school today often need to use a class room
 221 projector showing videos in full screen. That is easily done with a
 222 small integrated media computer running as a diskless workstation. You
 223 have only two installs to update and configure. One for the thin
 224 clients and one for the workstations. Also saving a lot of time.  Our
 225 old system was also based on Redhat and CentOS. They are both very
 226 nice distributions, but they are sometimes painfully slow when it
 227 comes to updating multimedia support and multimedia programs (even
 228 such as Gimp), leaving us with a bit "oldish" applications. Debian is
 229 quicker to update.
 230
 231 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 232 Edu?</strong></p>
 233
 234 <p>Debian is a bit too quick when it comes to updating. As an example
 235 we use old HP terminals as thinclients, and two times already this
 236 year (2012) the updates you get from the repositories has stopped
 237 sound from working with them.  It's a kernel/ALSA issue. So you have
 238 to be more careful properly testing the updates before you run them in
 239 a production environment. This has never happened with CentOS.</p>
 240
 241 <p>I also would like to be able to set my own domain-settings at
 242 install time.  In Skolelinux they are kind of hard coded into the
 243 distribution, when it comes to LDAP and at least samba integration.
 244 That is more a cosmetic/translation issue, and not a real problem.
 245 Running MS Windows applications within the Skolelinux environment needs
 246 to be better supported. That is, running them seamlessly via RDP, and
 247 support for single-sign on.  That will make the transition to free
 248 software easier, because you can keep the applications you really
 249 need.  No support will make it impossible if you work in a school where
 250 some applications can't be open source. As for us we really need to
 251 run Adobe InDesign in our journalist classes.  We run a journalist
 252 education, and is one of the very few non university ones that is ok:d
 253 by Svenska journalistförbundet (Swedish journalist association).  Our
 254 education gives the pupils the right of membership there, once they
 255 are done.  This is important if you want to get a job.</p>
 256
 257 <p>Adobe InDesign is the program most commonly used in newspapers and
 258 magazines.  We used Quark Express before, but they seem to loose there
 259 market to Adobe. The only "equivalent" to InDesign in the opensource
 260 world is Scribus, and its not advanced enough. At least not according
 261 to the teacher. I think it would be possible to use it, because they
 262 are not supposed to learn a program, they are supposed to learn how to
 263 edit and compile a newspaper.  But politically at our school we are not
 264 there yet.  And Scribus lacks a lot of things you find i InDesign.</p>
 265
 266 <p>We used even a windows program for sound editing when it comes to
 267 the radio-journalist part. The year to come we are going to try
 268 Audacity. That software has the same kind of limitations compared to
 269 Adobe Audition, but that teacher is a bit more open minded. We have
 270 tried Ardour also, but that instead is more like a music studio
 271 program, not intended for the kind of editing taking place in a radio
 272 studio. Its way to complex and the GUI is to scattered when you only
 273 want to cut, make pass-overs, add extra channels and normalise.  Those
 274 things you can do in Audacity, but its not as easy as in Audition. You
 275 have to do more things manually with envelopes, and that is a bit old
 276 fashion and timewasting. Its also harder to cut and move sound from
 277 one channel to another, which is a thing that you do frequently
 278 because you often find yourself needing to rearrange parts of the
 279 sound file.</p>
 280
 281 <p>So, I am not sure we will succeed in replacing even Audition, but we
 282 will try.  The problem is the students have certain expectations when
 283 they start an education towards a profession.  So the programs has to
 284 look and feel professional.  Good thing with radio, there are many
 285 programs out there, that radio studios use, so its not as standardised
 286 as Newspaper editing. That means, it does not really matter what
 287 program they learn, because once they start working they still have to
 288 learn the program the studio uses, so instead focus has to be to learn
 289 the editing part without to much focus on a specific software.</p>
 290
 291 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
 292
 293 <p>Myself I'm running Linux Mint, or Ubuntu these days.  I use almost
 294 only open source software, and preferably Linux based. When it comes
 295 to most used applications its OpenOffice, and Firefox (of course ;)
 296 )</p>
 297
 298 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 299 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
 300
 301 <p>To get schools to use free software there has to be good open
 302 source software that are windows based, to ease the transition. But
 303 it's also very important that the multimedia support is working
 304 flawlessly.  The problems with Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and whatever
 305 will create problems when it comes to both teachers and
 306 students. Economy are also important for schools, so using thin
 307 clients, as long as they have good multimedia support, is a very good
 308 idea. It's also important that the open source software works even for
 309 the administration.  It's hard to convince the teachers to stick with
 310 open source, if the principal has to run Windows.  It also creates a
 311 problem if some classes has to use Windows for there tasks, since that
 312 will create a difference in "status" between classes, so a good
 313 support for running windows applications via the thin client (Linux)
 314 desktop is essential.  At least at our school, where we have mixed
 315 level of educations, from high-school to journalist-school.</p>
 316
 317 <p>Update 2012-07-09 08:30: Paul Wise tipped me on IRC about three
 318 useful sources related to Free Software for radio stations: the LWN
 319 article <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/481607/">Radio station
 320 management with Airtime</a>,
 321 <a href="http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/">Airtime</a> which
 322 claim to be a Free open source radio automation software and
 323 <a href="http://www.rivendellaudio.org/">Rivendell</a> which claim to
 324 be complete radio broadcast automation solution.  All of them seem
 325 useful to the aspiring radio producer.</p>

 339       <div class="date"> 8th July 2012</div>
 340       <div class="body"><p>In the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project, we have realised that one
 341 of the major blockers for the project success is the purchasing skills
 342 in schools and municipalities.  We provide what the happy users of
 343 Debian Edu / Skolelinux say they need and to a lower cost than the
 344 alternatives, and yet so few schools decide to use our solution.  I
 345 was pleased to discover the same observation done by mySociety and Tom
 346 Steinberg in his blog post
 347 "<a href="http://www.mysociety.org/2012/06/19/can-you-recognize-the-million-pound-chair/">Can
 348 you recognize the million pound chair?</a>".  Read it and weep for the
 349 spending of your tax money.</p>
 350
 351 <p>Of course there are other factors involved as well, like our
 352 projects bad marketing skills and the Linux community fragmentation
 353 causing worry with the people on the outside, so we as a project need
 354 to keep working hard to gain users, but it is a up-hill battle when
 355 public decision makers are unable to understand computer system
 356 purchases.</p>

 529 <p>I have not used it myself, as I am not involved in time table
 530 planning at a school, but it seem to work fine when I test it.  If you
 531 need to set up your schools time table, and is tired of doing it
 532 manually, check it out.
 533
 534 A quick summary on how to use it can be found in
 535 <a href="http://marvelsoft.co.in/wp/2012/03/generate-timetable-for-state-cbse-icse-igcse-schools-free/">a
 536 blog post from MarvelSoft</a>.  If you find FET useful, please provide
 537 a recipe for the Debian Edu project in the

 568 <p>Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,</p>
 569
 570 <p>Thank you for your message. As you know, Ryan is currently our of the
 571 office, so it will be my pleasure to assist you.</p>
 572
 573 <p>Per your request, attached please find an electronic copy of the

 575 the License is provided as a convenience and for informational
 576 purposes only. When concluding the Licenses, only the hard copies
 577 provided by MPEG LA may be used.</p>
 578
 579 <p>To your question, MPEG LA lists our Licensees on our website
 580 according to each program.  The lists are in alphabetical order, so it
 581 is very easy to search.</p>

 593 <p>Selv om et epostvedlegg er nyttig for mottakeren, så håpet jeg å få
 594 et dokument jeg kunne dele med alle leserne av bloggen min, og ikke et
 595 som må deles på individuell basis.  Opphavsretten krever godkjenning
 596 fra rettighetsinnehaver før en kan gjøre slikt, så dermed fulgte jeg
 597 opp med et spørsmål om dette var greit.</p>

 609 <br>&gt; Per your request, attached please find an electronic copy of the AVC

 611 <br>&gt; the License is provided as a convenience and for informational

 613 <br>&gt; provided by MPEG LA may be used.</p>
 614
 615 <p>This is useful for me to learn, but the reason I asked for the
 616 Internet address of the licensing document was to ensure I could
 617 publish a link to it when I discuss the topic of H.264 licensing here
 618 in Norway, and allow others to verify my observations.  I can not do
 619 the same with an email attachment.  Thus I would like to ask you if it
 620 is OK with MPEG LA that I publish this document on the Internet for
 621 others to read?</p>
 622
 623 <p>&gt; To your question, MPEG LA lists our Licensees on our website
 624 <br>&gt; according to each program. The lists are in alphabetical order, so
 625 <br>&gt; it is very easy to search.</p>
 626
 627 <p>I am afraid this do not help me locate Norwegian companies in the
 628 list of Licensees.  I do not know the name of all companies and
 629 organisations in Norway, and thus do not know how to locate the
 630 Norwegian ones on that list.</p>
 631
 632 <p>&gt; I hope that this was helpful. If we can be of additional assistance,
 633 <br>&gt; please let me know.</p>

 641
 642 <p>Jeg håpet også at det skulle være mulig å få vite hvilke av de
 643 mange hundre som har avtale med MPEG-LA om bruk av H.264 som holdt til
 644 i Norge.  Begge mine håp falt i grus med svaret fra MPEG-LA.

 653 <p>Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,</p>
 654
 655 <p>Thank you for your reply.</p>
 656
 657 <p>We appreciate the additional explanation you have provided and for
 658 asking our permission to publish the electronic copy of the License in
 659 advance of doing so.  Typically, MPEG LA prefers to distribute the
 660 electronic copies of our Licenses to interested parties. Therefore,
 661 please feel free to send interested parties to the AVC portion of our
 662 website, http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Intro.aspx for
 663 their further reference.</p>
 664
 665 <p>As previously mentioned, MPEG LA maintains a list of Licensees in good
 666 standing on our website according to each program. Due to the large
 667 volume of Licensees, it would be administratively impractical to
 668 provide this level of detail to interested parties.  Therefore, I am
 669 afraid we are not in a position to assist you with your request.</p>

 678 <p>Men takket være epostvedlegget kunne jeg søke på Google etter
 679 setningen "WHEREAS, a video standard commonly referred to as AVC has
 680 been defined and is referred to in this Agreement as the “AVC
 681 Standard” (as more fully defined herein below)" som finnes i avtalen,
 682 og lokalisere en kopi fra 2007 av

 684 mellom MPEG-LA og DivX, Inc.</a>, slik at mine lesere kan se hvordan
 685 avtalen så ut da.  Jeg har ikke sammenlignet tekstene for å se om noe
 686 har endret seg siden den tid, men satser på at teksten er representativ.</p>
 687
 688 <p>Jeg aner fortsatt ikke hvor FedEx tok veien med pakken fra
 689 MPEG-LA.</p>
 690
 691 <p>Update 2012-07-06: Jeg er visst ikke den første som forsøker å få
 692 klarhet i problemstillinger rundt H.264, og kom nettopp over en veldig
 693 interessant bloggpost fra 2010 hos LibreVideo med tittelen

 738 et knippe forklaringer til hvorfor det kan gå lang tid før offentlige

 757 <p>Hei</p>
 758
 759 <p>NGUS fravær på OEP skyldes problemer vi har i forbindelse med
 760 oppgradering til ny versjon i vårt arkivsystem. Det jobbes med saken
 761 og jeg tror og håper at det snart skal være i orden. Normalt leverer
 762 vi til OEP 1 gang i uken.</p>

 780 <p>Hei!</p>
 781
 782 <p>Medietilsynet leverer normalt postlister en gang i uka.  Nå har vi
 783 tekniske problemer, derfor er vi forsinket.  Vi regner med å levere i
 784 løpet av denne uken. Ellers er vi fornøyd med dagens
 785 leveringsfrekvens.</p>

 815 <p>Hei!</p>
 816
 817 <p>Normalt leverer vi hver virkedag til OEP, med fem virkedagers
 818 forsinkelse.  Kunnskapsdepartementet har imidlertid ikke kunnet levere
 819 OEP pga innføringen av nytt saksbehandlingssystem 7. Mai.  Den
 820 etterfølgende streiken medførte så et større etterslep på
 821 journalføring som har gjort at vi har måttet prioritere dette fremfor
 822 offentlig journal.  Dette arbeidet har av flere sammenfallende årsaker
 823 tatt noe tid.  Vi håper imidlertid på at vi kan begynne å publisere
 824 offentlig journal igjen i løpet av denne uken, senest neste uke.  Vi
 825 gjenopptar da vår vanlige publiseringsfrekvens i tillegg til å få på
 826 plass de manglende journalene.</p>

 873 <p>Det vises til din e-post av 3. juli 2012.</p>
 874
 875 <p>Våre rutiner tilsier at vår journal skal publiseres en gang pr. uke
 876 (hver torsdag). Vi søker så langt det er mulig å få dette til og har
 877 stort sett publisert iht rutinene siden vi kom opp på OEP.</p>
 878
 879 <p>Pga ekstraordinære forhold ved vårt arkiv har vi i de siste ukene
 880 ikke hatt kapasitet til å opprettholde den publiseringsfrekvensen vi
 881 har fastsatt. Det er et begrenset antall medarbeidere som kan og skal
 882 kunne publisere våre journaler. Vi håper imidlertid at dette raskt vil
 883 bedres og vi er tilbake til den frekvens vi har satt oss som mål å ha.</p>
 884
 885 <p>Vi beklager hvis dette har skapt vanskeligheter.</p>

 887
 888 <p>Like etter at jeg fikk svar ble OEP oppdatert med postjournaler fra
 889 alle disse etatene.  Antagelig tilfeldig, men jeg ser ikke bort fra at
 890 det kan ha virket motiverende for å få på plass leveringen at de ser
 891 at det er interesse for leveringen til OEP.</p>

 918 <p>Vi viser til Deres spørsmål av 27. mai i år til RiksTV,
 919 Samferdselsdepartementet og Medietilsynet, og til RiksTVs svar av
 920 1. juli til Dem, som vi har mottatt i kopi.</p>
 921
 922 <p>For ordens skyld vil vi orientere om at Medietilsynet har visse
 923 tilsynsoppgaver knyttet til kapittel 3 i NTVs konsesjon for
 924 opprettelse og drift av det digitale bakkenettet for fjernsyn. Av
 925 pkt. 3.5 i denne konsesjonen går det bl.a. fram at NRKs
 926 kjernetilbud/allmennkringkastingstilbud... «skal være tilgjengelig
 927 uten betaling og ha lik dekning.» For distribusjon av innhold utenfor
 928 NRKs tilbud er det ikke tatt inn noen tilsvarende forutsetning i
 929 konsesjonen.</p>
 930
 931 <p>Medietilsynets mandat omfatter ikke spørsmålet om kryptering og
 932 administrasjon av engangsavgift knyttet til adgangskontrollsystem for
 933 NTVs formidling, og tilsynet kan derfor ikke ta stilling til de
 934 spørsmålene De reiser i tilknytning til det.</p>

 945 krypteringen av Frikanalen.</p>

 959       <div class="date"> 3rd July 2012</div>
 960       <div class="body"><p>In the NUUG <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</a>
 961 project (Norwegian version of
 962 <a href="http://www.fixmystreet.com/">FixMyStreet</a> from
 963 <a href="http://www.mysociety.org/">mySociety</a>), we have discovered
 964 a problem with the municipalities using
 965 <a href="http://www.zimbra.com/">Zimbra</a>.  When FiksGataMi send a
 966 problem report to the government, the email From: address is set to
 967 the address of the person reporting the problem, while envelope sender
 968 is set to the FiksGataMi contact address.  The intention is to make
 969 sure the municipality send any replies to the person reporting the
 970 problem, while any email delivery problems are sent to us in NUUG.
 971 This work well in most cases, but not for Karmøy municipality using
 972 Zimbra.  Karmøy is using the vacation message function in Zimbra to
 973 send an automatic reply to report that the message has been received,
 974 and this message is sent to the envelope sender and not the address in
 975 the From: header.</p>
 976
 977 <p>This causes the automatic message from Karmøy to go to NUUGs
 978 request-tracker instance instead of to the person reporting the
 979 problem.  We can not really change the envelope sender address, as
 980 this would make it impossible for us to discover when there are
 981 problems with the MTAs receiving problem reports.  We have been in
 982 contact with the people at Karmøy municipality, and they are willing
 983 to adjust Zimbra if something can be changed there to get a better
 984 behaviour.</p>
 985
 986 <p>The default behaviour of Zimbra is as far as I can tell according
 987 to the specification in RFC 3834, which recommend that vacation
 988 messages are sent to the envelope sender and not to the From: address.
 989 But I wonder if it is possible to adjust or configure Zimbra to behave
 990 differently.  Anyone know?  Please let us know at
 991 <a href="http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/fiksgatami">fiksgatami
