  35 <p>I normally cut my hair short, and my tool of choice has been a
  36 common hair/beard cutter, bought in a electrical shop here in Norway.
  37 But the last ones have not really been up to the task.  My last
  38 cutter, some model from Braun, could only cut a few of my hairs at the
  39 time, and cutting my head took forever.  And the one before that did
  40 not work very well either.  We have looked for something better for a
  41 while, but it was not until I ended up visiting a hairdresser that we
  42 discovered that there are indeed better tools available.  But these
  43 are not marketed and sold to "regular consumers".  The hair saloons
  44 can get them through their suppliers, but their suppliers only sell
  45 companies.  The models they sell, are very different from the ones
  46 available from Elkjøp and Lefdal.  The main difference is their
  47 efficiency.  It would cut my hair in 5 minutes, instead of the 30-40
  48 minutes required by my impotent Braun.  The hairdresser I visited had
  49 a Panasonic ER160, which unfortunately is no longer available from the
  50 producer.  But I found it had a successor, the Panasonic ER1611.</p>
  51
  52 <p>The next step was to find somewhere to buy it.  This was not
  53 straight forward.  The list of suppliers I got from the hairdresser
  54 did not want to sell anything to me.  But searching for the model on
  55 the web we found a supplier in Norway willing to sell it to us for
  56 around NOK 4000,-.  This was a bit much.  We kept searching and
  57 finally found a Danish supplier
  58 <a href="http://nicehair.dk/panasonic-er-1611-professionel-hartrimmer.html">selling
  59 it for around NOK 1800,-</a>.  We ordered one, and it arrived a few
  60 days ago.</p>
  61
  62 <p>The instructions said it had to charge for 8 hours when we started
  63 to use it, so we left it charging over night.  Normally it will only
  64 need one hour to charge.  The following evening we successfully tested
  65 it, and I can warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a real hair
  66 cutter.  The ones we have used until now have been hair cutter
  67 toys.</p>

 116         <p>In <a href="http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article243690.ece">an
 117 article today</a> published by Computerworld Norway, the photographer
 118 <a href="http://www.urke.com/eirik/">Eirik Helland Urke</a> reports
 119 that the video editor application included with
 120 <a href="http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-x/#specs">HTC One
 121 X</a> have some quite surprising terms of use.  The article is mostly
 122 based on the twitter message from mister Urke, stating:
 123
 124 <p><blockquote>
 125 "<a href="http://twitter.com/urke/status/194062269724897280">Drøy
 126 brukeravtale: HTC kan bruke MINE redigerte videoer kommersielt. Selv
 127 kan jeg KUN bruke dem privat.</a>"
 128 </blockquote></p>
 129
 130 <p>I quickly translated it to this English message:</p>
 131
 132 <p><blockquote>
 133 "Arrogant user agreement: HTC can use MY edited videos
 134 commercially.  Although I can ONLY use them privately."
 135 </blockquote></p>
 136
 137 <p>I've been unable to find the text of the license term myself, but
 138 suspect it is a variation of the MPEG-LA terms I
 139 <a href="https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Terms_of_use_for_video_produced_by_a_Canon_IXUS_130_digital_camera.html">discovered
 140 with my Canon IXUS 130</a>.  The HTC One X specification specifies that
 141 the recording format of the phone is .amr for audio and .mp3 for
 142 video.  AMR is
 143 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Multi-Rate_audio_codec#Licensing_and_patent_issues">Adaptive
 144 Multi-Rate audio codec</a> with patents which according to the
 145 Wikipedia article require an license agreement with
 146 <a href="http://www.voiceage.com/">VoiceAge</a>.  MP4 is
 147 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Patent_licensing">MPEG4 with

 181
 182 <p>Siden den gang har vi fått tak i maskinelt lesbart informasjon om
 183 hvem som stemte hva mellom 1990 og våren 2010, og tilgang til
 184 stortingets nye datatjeneste som har informasjon fra høsten 2011 til i
 185 dag.  Det gjenstår litt arbeid med det første datasettet, men
 186 datasettet fra høsten 2011 er klart til bruk.  Begge datasettene er

 212       <div class="date">
 213         19th April 2012
 214       </div>
 215       <div class="body">
 216         <p>Here in Norway, the
 217 <a href="http://www.regjeringen.no/nb/dep/fad.html?id=339"> Ministry of
 218 Government Administration, Reform and Church Affairs</a> is behind
 219 a <a href="http://standard.difi.no/forvaltningsstandarder">directory of
 220 standards</a> that are recommended or mandatory for use by the
 221 government.  When the directory was created, the people behind it made
 222 an effort to ensure that everyone would be able to implement the
 223 standards and compete on equal terms to supply software and solutions
 224 to the government.  Free software and non-free software could compete
 225 on the same level.</p>
 226
 227 <p>But recently, some standards with RAND
 228 (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminatory_licensing">Reasonable
 229 And Non-Discriminatory</a>) terms have made their way into the
 230 directory.  And while this might not sound too bad, the fact is that
 231 standard specifications with RAND terms often block free software from
 232 implementing them.  The reasonable part of RAND mean that the cost per
 233 user/unit is low,and the non-discriminatory part mean that everyone
 234 willing to pay will get a license.  Both sound great in theory.  In
 235 practice, to get such license one need to be able to count users, and
 236 be able to pay a small amount of money per unit or user.  By
 237 definition, users of free software do not need to register their use.
 238 So counting users or units is not possible for free software projects.
 239 And given that people will use the software without handing any money
 240 to the author, it is not really economically possible for a free
 241 software author to pay a small amount of money to license the rights
 242 to implement a standard when the income available is zero.  The result
 243 in these situations is that free software are locked out from
 244 implementing standards with RAND terms.</p>
 245
 246 <p>Because of this, when I see someone claiming the terms of a
 247 standard is reasonable and non-discriminatory, all I can think of is
 248 how this really is non-reasonable and discriminatory.  Because free
 249 software developers are working in a global market, it does not really
 250 help to know that software patents are not supposed to be enforceable
 251 in Norway.  The patent regimes in other countries affect us even here.
 252 I really hope the people behind the standard directory will pay more
 253 attention to these issues in the future.</p>
 254
 255 <p>You can find more on the issues with RAND, FRAND and RAND-Z terms
 256 from Simon Phipps
 257 (<a href="http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2010/11/rand-not-so-reasonable/">RAND:
 258 Not So Reasonable?</a>).</p>
 259
 260 <p>Update 2012-04-21: Just came across a
 261 <a href="http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/04/of-microsoft-netscape-patents-and-open-standards/index.htm">blog
 262 post from Glyn Moody</a> over at Computer World UK warning about the
 263 same issue, and urging people to speak out to the UK government.  I
 264 can only urge Norwegian users to do the same for
 265 <a href="http://www.standard.difi.no/hoyring/hoyring-om-nye-anbefalte-it-standarder">the
 266 hearing taking place at the moment</a> (respond before 2012-04-27).
 267 It proposes to require video conferencing standards including
 268 specifications with RAND terms.</p>

 289         <p>Da jeg googlet etter noe annet kom jeg tilfeldigvis over
 290 <a href="http://www.duo.uio.no/sok/work.html?WORKID=58309">en
 291 hovedfagsoppgave</a> ved Universitetet i Oslo som diskuterer verdien
 292 av GPLs fire friheter for brukerne av IT-systemer.  Jeg ble fascinert
 293 over det som presenteres der.  Her er sammendraget:</p>
 294
 295 <p><blockquote>
 296
 297 <p>Motivasjonen til å skrive denne oppgaven er en personlig undring
 298 over hvorfor det primært, og ofte eksklusivt, fokuseres på det
 299 økonomiske aspektet ved utredninger om fri programvare er et godt valg
 300 for det offentlige. Fri og produsenteid programvare bygger på
 301 fundamentalt forskjellige ideologier som kan ha implikasjoner utover
 302 økonomiske kostnader. Kunnskapskulturen som er med på å definere fri
 303 programvare er basert på åpenhet, og er en verdi i seg selv.</p>
 304
 305 <p>Oppgavens tema er programvarelisensen GPL og frihet. GPL-lisensiert
 306 programvare gir visse friheter i forhold til produsenteid
 307 programvare. Mitt spørsmål er om, og eventuelt i hvilken utstrekning,
 308 disse frihetene blir benyttet av ulike brukere og hvordan de
 309 manifesterer seg for disse brukerne. Sentrale spørsmål i oppgaven
 310 er:</p>
 311
 312 <ul>
 313 <li>Hvordan fordeles handlekraft gjennom lisensieringen av programvaren?</li>
 314 <li>Hvilke konsekvenser har programvarelisensen for de ulike brukere? </li>
 315 </ul>
 316
 317 <p>Fri programvare gir blant annet brukeren mulighet til å studere og
 318 modifisere kildekoden. Denne formen for frihet erverves gjennom
 319 kunnskap og krever at brukeren også er en ekspert. Hva skjer med
 320 frihetene til GPL når sluttbrukeren er en annen? Dette diskuteres i
 321 dialog med informantene.</p>
 322
 323 <p>Jeg har i denne oppgaven samlet inn intervjudata fra IKT-ansvarlige
 324 ved grunnskolene i Nittedal kommune, driftsansvarlig og IKT-veilederen
 325 for skolene i kommunen, samt IKT-koordinator for utdanning i Akershus
 326 fylkeskommune og bokmåloversettere av OpenOffice.org. Den empiriske
 327 delen av oppgaven er delt inn i to seksjoner; den første omhandler
 328 operativsystemet Skolelinux, den andre kontorprogrampakken
 329 OpenOffice.org.</p>
 330
 331 <p>Som vi vil se gir GPL lokal frihet og kontroll gjennom omfordeling
 332 av makt fra produsent til bruker. Brukerens makt analyseres gjennom
 333 begrepene brukermedvirkning og handlingsfrihet. Det blir også lagt
 334 vekt på strukturelle forhold rundt bruken av teknologi, og spesielt de
 335 økonomiske begrepene nettverkseksternaliteter, innlåsing og
 336 stiavhengighet. Dette er begreper av spesiell nytte når objektet som
 337 omsettes eller distribueres er et kommunikasjonsprodukt, fordi verdien
 338 til et slikt gode for en potensiell bruker avhenger av antall
 339 eksisterende brukere av godet. I tilknytning til denne problematikken
 340 inneholder oppgaven også en diskusjon rundt åpne standarder og
 341 formater.</p>
 342
 343 <p>Oppgaven konkluderer med at de «fire frihetene» som GPL-lisensen er
 344 laget for å beskytte er av avgjørende betydning for bruken av
 345 OpenOffice.org og Skolelinux, i Akershus fylkeskommune såvel som i
 346 skolene i Nittedal. Distribusjonen av handlekraft er ikke helt
 347 symmetrisk. Det er først og fremst de profesjonelle utviklerne i
 348 Skolelinux som direkte kan nyttiggjøre seg friheten til å endre kode,
 349 mens en sluttbruker som Nittedal kommune nyttiggjør seg den økonomiske
 350 friheten til å kunne distribuere programmene. Det er imidlertid også
 351 slik at ingen aktør klarer seg uten alle disse «frihetene».</p>

 354 <p>Jeg fant også en masteroppgave fra 2006, men der ligger ikke
 355 komplett oppgave tilgjengelig.  På tide å holde et øye med

 384 up in the recently released
 385 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze">Debian
 386 Edu Squeeze</a> version.</p>
 387
 388 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
 389
 390 <p>My name is Andreas Mundt, I grew up in south Germany.  After
 391 studying Physics I spent several years at university doing research in
 392 Quantum Optics.  After that I worked some years in an optics company.
 393 Finally I decided to turn over a new leaf in my life and started
 394 teaching 10 to 19 years old kids at school.  I teach math, physics,
 395 information technology and science/technology.</p>
 396
 397 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 398 project?</strong></p>
 399
 400 <p>Already before I switched to teaching, I followed the Debian Edu
 401 project because of my interest in education and Debian.  Within the
 402 qualification/training period for the teaching, I started
 403 contributing.</p>
 404
 405 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 406 Edu?</strong></p>
 407
 408 <p>The advantages of Debian Edu are the well known name, the
 409 out-of-the-box philosophy and of course the great free software of the
 410 Debian Project!</p>
 411
 412 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 413 Edu?</strong></p>
 414
 415 <p>As every coin has two sides, the out-of-the-box philosophy has its
 416 downside, too.  In my opinion, it is hard to modify and tweak the
 417 setup, if you need or want that.  Further more, it is not easily
 418 possible to upgrade the system to a new release.  It takes much too
 419 long after a Debian release to prepare the -Edu release, perhaps
 420 because the number of developers working on the core of the code is
 421 rather small and often busy elsewhere.</p>
 422
 423 <p>The <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLAN">Debian LAN</a>
 424 project might fill the use case of a more flexible system.</p>
 425
 426 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
 427
 428 <p>I am only using non-free software if I am forced to and run Debian
 429 on all my machines.  For documents I prefer LaTeX and PGF/TikZ, then
 430 mutt and iceweasel for email respectively web browsing.  At school I
 431 have Arduino and Fritzing in use for a micro controller project.</p>
 432
 433 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 434 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
 435
 436 <p>One of the major problems is the vendor lock-in from top to bottom:
 437 Especially in combination with ignorant government employees and
 438 politicians, this works out great for the "market-leader".  The school
 439 administration here in Baden-Wuerttemberg is occupied by that vendor.
 440 Documents have to be prepared in non-free, proprietary formats.  Even
 441 free browsers do not work for the school administration.  Publishers
 442 of school books provide software only for proprietary platforms.</p>
 443
 444 <p>To change this, political work is very important.  Parts of the
 445 political spectrum have become aware of the problem in the last years.
 446 However it takes quite some time and courageous politicians to 'free'
 447 the system.  There is currently some discussion about "Open Data" and
 448 "Free/Open Standards".  I am not sure if all the involved parties have
 449 a clue about the potential of these ideas, and probably only a
 450 fraction takes them seriously.  However it might slowly make free
 451 software and the philosophy behind it more known and popular.</p>

 504 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
 505
 506 <p>I'm a 44-year-old linguistics graduate living in Edinburgh who has
 507 occasionally been employed as a sysadmin.</p>
 508
 509 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 510 project?</strong></p>
 511
 512 <p>I'm neither a developer nor a Skolelinux/Debian Edu user!  The only
 513 reason my name's in the credits for the documentation is that I hang
 514 around on debian-l10n-english waiting for people to mention things
 515 they'd like a native English speaker to proofread...  So I did a sweep
 516 through the wiki for typos and Norglish and inconsistent spellings of
 517 "localisation".</p>
 518
 519 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 520 Edu?</strong></p>
 521
 522 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 523 Edu?</strong></p>
 524
 525 <p>These questions are too hard for me - I don't use it!  In fact I
 526 had hardly any contact with I.T. until long after I'd got out of the
 527 education system.</p>
 528
 529 <p>I can tell you the advantages of Debian for me though: it soaks up
 530 as much of my free time as I want and no more, and lets me do
 531 everything I want a computer for without ever forcing me to spend
 532 money on the latest hardware.</p>
 533
 534 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
 535
 536 <p>I've been using Debian since Rex; popularity-contest says the
 537 software that I use most is xinit, xterm, and xulrunner (in other
 538 words, I use a distinctly retro sort of desktop).</p>
 539
 540 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 541 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
 542
 543 <p>Well, I don't know.  I suppose I'd be inclined to try reasoning
 544 with the people who make the decisions, but obviously if that worked
 545 you would hardly need a strategy.</p>

 564       </div>
 565       <div class="body">
 566         <p>Recently I have spent time with
 567 <a href="http://www.slxdrift.no/">Skolelinux Drift AS</a> on speeding
 568 up a <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a>
 569 Lenny installation using LTSP diskless workstations, and in the
 570 process I discovered something very surprising.  The reason the KDE
 571 menu was responding slow when using it for the first time, was mostly
 572 due to the way KDE find application icons.  I discovered that showing
 573 the Multimedia menu would cause more than 20 000 IP packages to be
 574 passed between the LTSP client and the NFS server.  Most of these were
 575
 576 NFS LOOKUP calls, resulting in a NFS3ERR_NOENT response.  Because the
 577 ping times between the client and the server were in the range 2-20
 578 ms, the menus would be very slow.  Looking at the strace of kicker in
 579 Lenny (or plasma-desktop i Squeeze - same problem there), I see that
 580 the source of these NFS calls are access(2) system calls for
 581 non-existing files.  KDE can do hundreds of access(2) calls to find
 582 one icon file.  In my example, just finding the mplayer icon required
 583 around 230 access(2) calls.</p>
 584
 585 <p>The KDE code seem to search for icons using a list of icon
 586 directories, and the list of possible directories is large.  In
 587 (almost) each directory, it look for files ending in .png, .svgz, .svg
 588 and .xpm.  The result is a very slow KDE menu when /usr/ is NFS
 589 mounted.  Showing a single sub menu may result in thousands of NFS
 590 requests.  I am not the first one to discover this.  I found a
 591 <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211416">KDE bug report
 592 from 2009</a> about this problem, and it is still unsolved.</p>
 593
 594 <p>My solution to speed up the KDE menu was to create a package
 595 kde-icon-cache that upon installation will look at all .desktop files
 596 used to generate the KDE menu, find their icons, search the icon paths
 597 for the file that KDE will end up finding at run time, and copying the
 598 icon file to /var/lib/kde-icon-cache/.  Finally, I add symlinks to
 599 these icon files in one of the first directories where KDE will look
 600 for them.  This cut down the number of file accesses required to find
 601 one icon from several hundred to less than 5, and make the KDE menu
 602 almost instantaneous.  I'm not quite sure where to make the package
 603 publicly available, so for now it is only available on request.</p>
 604
 605 <p>The bug report mention that this do not only affect the KDE menu
 606 and icon handling, but also the login process.  Not quite sure how to
 607 speed up that part without replacing NFS with for example NBD, and
 608 that is not really an option at the moment.</p>
 609
 610 <p>If you got feedback on this issue, please let us know on debian-edu
 611 (at) lists.debian.org.</p>
 612
 613 <p>Update 2015-08-04: The
 614 <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-edu/upstream/kde-icon-cache.git/">source
 615 of the scripts and associated Debian package</a> is available from the
 616 Debian Edu github repository.</p>

 664         <p>Germany is a core area for the
 665 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and Skolelinux</a>
 666 user community, and this time I managed to get hold of Wolfgang
 667 Schweer, a valuable contributor to the project from Germany.
 668
 669 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
 670
 671 <p>I've studied Mathematics at the university 'Ruhr-Universität' in
 672 Bochum, Germany. Since 1981 I'm working as a teacher at the school
 673 "<a href="http://www.westfalenkolleg-dortmund.de/">Westfalen-Kolleg
 674 Dortmund</a>", a second chance school.  Here, young adults is given
 675 the opportunity to get further education in order to do the school
 676 examination 'Abitur', which will allow to study at a university. This
 677 second chance is of value for those who want a better job perspective
 678 or failed to get a higher school examination being teens.</p>
 679
 680 <p>Besides teaching I was involved in developing online courses for a
 681 blended learning project called 'abitur-online.nrw' and in some other
 682 information technology related projects. For about ten years I've been
 683 teacher and coordinator for the 'abitur-online' project at my
 684 school. Being now in my early sixties, I've decided to leave school at
 685 the end of April this year.</p>
 686
 687 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 688 project?</strong></p>
 689
 690 <p>The first information about Skolelinux must have come to my
 691 attention years ago and somehow related to LTSP (Linux Terminal Server
 692 Project).  At school, we had set up a network at the beginning of 1997
 693 using Suse Linux on the desktop, replacing a Novell network. Since
 694 2002, we used old machines from the city council of Dortmund as thin
 695 clients (LTSP, later Ubuntu/Lessdisks) cause new hardware was out of
 696 reach. At home I'm using Debian since years and - subscribed to the
 697 Debian news letter - heard from time to time about Skolelinux. About
 698 two years ago I proposed to replace the (somehow undocumented and only
 699 known to me) system at school by a well known Debian based system:
 700 Skolelinux.</p>
 701
 702 <p>Students and teachers appreciated the new system because of a
 703 better look and feel and an enhanced access to local media on thin
 704 clients.  The possibility to alter and/or reset passwords using a GUI
 705 was welcomed, too. Being able to do administrative tasks using a GUI
 706 and to easily set up workstations using PXE was of very high value for
 707 the admin teachers.</p>
 708
 709 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 710 Edu?</strong></p>
 711
 712 <p>It's open source, easy to set up, stable and flexible due to it's
 713 Debian base. It integrates LTSP out-of-the-box. And it is documented!
 714 So it was a perfect choice.</p>
 715
 716 <p>Being open source, there are no license problems and so it's
 717 possible to point teachers and students to programs like
 718 OpenOffice.org, ViewYourMind (mind mapping) and The Gimp.  It's of
 719 high value to be able to adapt parts of the system to special needs of
 720 a school and to choose where to get support for this.</p>
 721
 722 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 723 Edu?</strong></p>
 724
 725 <p>Nothing yet.</p>
 726
 727 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
 728
 729 <p>At home (Debian Sid with Gnome Desktop): Iceweasel, LibreOffice,
 730 Mutt, Gedit, Document Viewer, Midnight Commander, flpsed (PDF
 731 Annotator).  At school (Skolelinux Lenny): Iceweasel, Gedit,
 732 LibreOffice.</p>
 733
 734 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 735 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
 736
 737 <p>Some time ago I thought it was enough to tell people about it. But
 738 that doesn't seem to work quite well. Now I concentrate on those more
 739 interested and hope to get multiplicators that way.</p>
