  32         <p>På tur mot jobb i dag fikk jeg se en av Ruters billettautomater i
  33 Nydalen som var brutt sammen.  Tok bilde av det hele, og lot meg
  34 overraske over at den så ut til å kjøre
  35 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2000">Windows 2000
  36 Professional</a>.</p>

  40 <p>Jeg ble overrasket da den versjonen av operativsystemene til
  41 Microsoft så vidt jeg vet ikke lenger mottar sikkerhetsoppdateringer.
  42 I følge Wikipedia og
  43 <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/?sort=PN&alpha=Windows+2000&Filter=FilterNO">Microsoft</a>
  44 har den ikke hatt støtte fra Microsoft siden 2010-07-13.  Det er en
  45 ganske stor sikkerhetsrisiko å bruke operativsystemer i et og et halvt
  46 år etter at de ikke lenger blir tatt vare på sikkerhetsmessig.</p>

  71         <p>Many years ago, the <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux
  72 / Debian Edu project</a> initiated a student project to create a tool
  73 for making stop motion movies.  The proposal came from a teacher
  74 needing such tool on Skolelinux.  The project, called "stopmotion",
  75 was manned by two extraordinary students and won a school award and a
  76 national aware with this great project.  The project was initiated and
  77 mentored by Herman Robak, and manned by the students Bjørn Erik Nilsen
  78 and Fredrik Berg Kjølstad.  They got in touch with people at Aardman
  79 Animation studio and received feedback on how professionals would like
  80 such stopmotion tool to work, and the end result was and is used by
  81 animators around the globe.  But as is usual after studying, both got
  82 jobs and went elsewhere, and did not have time to properly tend to the
  83 project, and it has been lingering for a few years now.  Until last
  84 year...</p>
  85
  86 <p>Last year some of the users got together with Herman, and moved the
  87 project to Sourceforge and in effect restarted the project under a new
  88 name,
  89 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxstopmotion/">linuxstopmotion</a>.
  90 The name change was done to make it possible to find the project using
  91 Internet search engines (try to search for 'stopmotion' to see what I
  92 mean). I've been following
  93 <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxstopmotion-community">the
  94 mailing list</a> and the improvement already in place and planned for
  95 the future is encouraging.  If you want to make stop motion movies.
  96 Check it out. :)</p>

 143         <p>Tok nettopp en titt på listen over løste problemer i
 144 <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</a> (hentet via
 145 <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/open311">Open311-søkegrensesnittet</a>),
 146 og lot meg imponere over Hamar kommunes raske respons.  Sjekk
 147 <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/report/10791">rapport #10791</a>, der
 148 Hamar kommune kl. 10:19 i dag får beskjed om at det er dårlig
 149 brøyting, allerede 10:50 melder kommunen tilbake at de er på saken.
 150 18:26 samme dag melder så innsender at problemet er løst.  Hatten av
 151 for folkene i Hamar kommune!</p>
 152
 153 <p>Apropos bra respons.  En bruker sendte for noen dager inn følgende
 154 tilbakemelding til oss som står bak tjenesten.</p>
 155
 156 <p><blockquote>Rapporterte inn slukte gatelys på Torsnesveien, og to
 157 uker etterpå er lysene tilbake. Flott service!</blockquote></p>
 158
 159 <p>Det er veldig hyggelig å høre at FiksGataMi fungerer bra for
 160 innbyggerne.  Måtte alle landets innbyggere få samme gode erfaring med
 161 FiksGataMi og det offentlige.  I dag er det 52 kommuner som har lenke
 162 til FiksGataMi fra sine nettsider, og dermed indikerer at de liker vår
 163 tjeneste.  Måtte de få følge av resten av landets kommuner snart. :)</p>

 216          9th March 2012
 217       </div>
 218       <div class="body">
 219         <p>Inspired by <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.com/tag/interview/">the
 220 interview series</a> conducted by Raphael, I started a Norwegian
 221 interview series with people involved in the Debian Edu / Skolelinux
 222 community.  This was so popular that I believe it is time to move to a
 223 more international audience.</p>
 224
 225 <p>While <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and
 226 Skolelinux</a> originated in France and Norway, and have most users in
 227 Europe, there are users all around the globe.  One of those far away
 228 from me is Nigel Barker, a long time Debian Edu system administrator
 229 and contributor.  It is thanks to him that Debian Edu is adjusted to
 230 work out of the box in Japan.  I got him to answer a few questions,
 231 and am happy to share the response with you. :)
 232
 233
 234 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
 235
 236 <p>My name is Nigel Barker, and I am British. I am married to Yumiko,
 237 and we have three lovely children, aged 15, 14 and 4(!) I am the IT
 238 Coordinator at Hiroshima International School, Japan. I am also a
 239 teacher, and in fact I spend most of my day teaching Mathematics,
 240 Science, IT, and Chemistry. I was originally a Chemistry teacher, but
 241 I have always had an interest in computers. Another teacher teaches
 242 primary school IT, but apart from that I am the only computer person,
 243 so that means I am the network manager, technician and webmaster,
 244 also, and I help people with their computer problems. I teach python
 245 to beginners in an after-school club. I am way too busy, so I really
 246 appreciate the simplicity of Skolelinux.</p>
 247
 248 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 249 project?</strong></p>
 250
 251 <p>In around 2004 or 5 I discovered the ltsp project, and set up a
 252 server in the IT lab. I wanted some way to connect it to our central
 253 samba server, which I was also quite poor at configuring. I discovered
 254 Edubuntu when it came out, but it didn't really improve my setup. I
 255 did various desperate searches for things like "school Linux server"
 256 and ended up in a document called "Drift" something or other. Reading
 257 there it became clear that Skolelinux was going to solve all my
 258 problems in one go. I was very excited, but apprehensive, because my
 259 previous attempts to install Debian had ended in failure (I used
 260 Mandrake for everything - ltsp, samba, apache, mail, ns...). I
 261 downloaded a beta version, had some problems, so subscribed to the
 262 Debian Edu list for help. I have remained subscribed ever since, and
 263 my school has run a Skolelinux network since Sarge.</p>
 264
 265 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 266 Edu?</strong></p>
 267
 268 <p>For me the integrated setup. This is not just the server, or the
 269 workstation, or the ltsp. Its all of them, and its all configured
 270 ready to go. I read somewhere in the early documentation that it is
 271 designed to be setup and managed by the Maths or Science teacher, who
 272 doesn't necessarily know much about computers, in a small Norwegian
 273 school. That describes me perfectly if you replace Norway with
 274 Japan.</p>
 275
 276 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 277 Edu?</strong></p>
 278
 279 <p>The desktop is fairly plain. If you compare it with Edubuntu, who
 280 have fun themes for children, or with distributions such as Mint, who
 281 make the desktop beautiful. They create a good impression on people
 282 who don't need to understand how to use any of it, but who might be
 283 important to the school. School administrators or directors, for
 284 instance, or parents. Even kids. Debian itself usually has ugly
 285 default theme settings. It was my dream a few years back that some
 286 kind of integration would allow Edubuntu to do the desktop stuff and
 287 Debian Edu the servers, but now I realise how impossible that is.  A
 288 second disadvantage is that if something goes wrong, or you need to
 289 customise something, then suddenly the level of expertise required
 290 multiplies. For example, backup wasn't working properly in Lenny. It
 291 took me ages to learn how to set up my own server to do rsync backups.
 292 I am afraid of anything to do with ldap, but perhaps Gosa will
 293 help.</p>
 294
 295 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
 296
 297 <p>Nowadays I only use Debian on my personal computers. I have one for
 298 studio work (I play guitar and write songs), running AV Linux
 299 (customised Debian) a netbook running Squeeze, and a bigger laptop
 300 still running Skolelinux Lenny workstation. I have a Tjener in my
 301 house, that's very useful for the family photos and music.  At school
 302 the students only use Skolelinux. (Some teachers and the office still
 303 have windows). So that means we only use free software all day every
 304 day. Open office, The GIMP, Firefox/Iceweasel, VLC and Audacity are
 305 installed on every computer in school, irrespective of OS.  We also
 306 have Koha on Debian for the library, and Apache, Moodle, b2evolution
 307 and Etomite on Debian for the www. The firewall is Untangle.</p>
 308
 309 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 310 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
 311
 312 <p>Current trends are in our favour. Open source is big in industry,
 313 and ordinary people have heard of it. The spread of Android and the
 314 popularity of Apple have helped to weaken the impression that you have
 315 to have Microsoft on everything. People complain to me much less about
 316 file formats and Word than they did 5 years ago.  The Edu aspect is
 317 also a selling point. This is all customised for schools. Where is the
 318 Windows-edu, or the Mac-edu?  But of course the main attraction is
 319 budget.The trick is to convince people that the quality is not
 320 compromised when you stop paying and use free software instead. That
 321 is one reason why I say the desktop experience is a weakness. People
 322 are not impressed when their USB drive doesn't work, or their browser
 323 doesn't play flash, for example.</p>

 394 som leverer support, installasjon, tilpasning, drift, og opplæring på
 395 Debian Edu / Skolelinux. Fra 2012 er jeg valgt inn som styremedlem i
 396 FRiSK.  Min forrige jobb var som KAM i Redpill Linpro (som er en av
 397 eierne i Skolelinux Drift).  Før det var jeg daglig leder i et eget 7
 398 manns konsulent selskap som også startet med fri programvare mot
 399 slutten.</p>
 400
 401 <p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?</strong></p>
 402
 403 <p>Jeg hørte om det først når jeg jobbet i Redpill Linpro.  Men jeg
 404 har også en datter som går på en friskole, som også bruker Skolelinux.
 405 Som kjent har ikke friskoler de samme økonomiske rammebetingelsene som
 406 offentlige skoler, så for dem var det det absolutt beste alternativet.
 407 De anser også Skolelinux som et stabilt system, som bare går og går (i
 408 motsetning til det lille Windows-baserte nettverket de har på
 409 admin-siden).</p>
 410
 411 <p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
 412
 413 <p>Sentralisert drift av tynne og diskløse arbeidsstasjoner. Således
 414 lydløse og raskere arbeidsstasjoner som er bedre i klasserommet.
 415 Lengre levetid på PC'er.  Store besparelser på maskinvare og drift. Og
 416 så klart fjerning av alle lisenskostnader. Personlig synes jeg også at
 417 mange av programmene er bedre enn alternativene. Men dette er ofte en
 418 smakssak og avhengig om man må ha det man er vant til fra før.</p>
 419
 420 <p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
 421
 422 <p>For lite kjentskap til løsningen.  Noen ganger for dårlig
 423 kompatibilitet med arbeidsstasjoners/bærbare maskiner sine
 424 nettverksdrivere eller skjermkort. Men dette løser vi i skolene ved
 425 standardisering. Ellers er det få, om nesten ingen, av de kjente
 426 maskinvare / infrastruktur leverandørene til fylkes- / kommuner som
 427 tilbyr denne plattformen.  Skal dette endre seg så må kommunene selv
 428 sette slike krav til leverandørene.</p>
 429
 430 <p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?</strong></p>
 431
 432 <p>Har brukt OpenOffice.org siden starten (2001 ?), Kun Linux på
 433 desktop siden 2005. Bruker i dag Kubuntu, Libreoffice og ymse annet
 434 programvare til ulik kontorbruk som er lett å installere / teste via
 435 alle programarkivene som finnes.</p>
 436
 437 <p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
 438 skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?</strong></p>
 439
 440 <p>Fortsette å presentere flere av de gode eksemplene hvor Debian Edu
 441 / Skolelinux brukes i kommuner og enkeltskoler.  Vi må få bedre frem
 442 at det er mulig tilknytte både Windows og Mac klienter på denne
 443 plattformen (selv om det vil øke driftskostnadene).  Dette gjøres
 444 mange steder.  Spesielt er det mange lærere som ønsker å bruke
 445 Windows/Mac-bærbare, gjerne som sin private PC også. Det er også mulig
 446 for kommunen å integrere med Active Directory i stedet for OpenLDAP
 447 som kommer med ut av boksen (selv om også dette øker kostnadene).
 448 Dette vil muligens bidra til å fjerne noe motstand hos noen
 449 potensielle brukere / driftpersonell for å ta i bruk noe
 450 nytt. Fremveksten av mobile brukere og nettbrett går i vår favør.
 451 Brukerne blir kjent og vant til flere nye operativsystemer /
 452 brukergrensesnitt. Så utviklerfellesskapet bør jobbe videre med å
 453 integrere flere nye klienttyper, som ultra lav-kostklienter og
 454 nettbrett (blant annet fri programvare-alternativet
 455 <a href="http://makeplaylive.com/">Spark</a> med
 456 <a href="http://www.merproject.org/">Mer OS</a> og
 457 <a href="http://plasma-active.org/">KDE Active Plasma</a>).</p>

 478         <p>I dag presenterte jeg ny versjon av Skolelinux for NUUGs medlemmer.
 479 <a href="http://www.hungry.com/~pere/mypapers/20120313-skolelinux-squeeze.html">Lysark</a>
 480 er tilgjengelige allerede og
 481 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20120313-skolelinux/">video-opptak</a>
 482 kommer så snart videogruppa til NUUG får publisert den.  Jeg kom på
 483 endel punkter om nye ting i Squeeze-utgaven under veis som jeg burde
 484 hatt med, og har sikkert skrevet noe tull på lysarkene som jeg ennå
 485 ikke har oppdaget.  Denne presentasjonen ble smurt ihop på veldig kort
 486 tid, og jeg rakk ikke finpusse den.  Håper den kan være lærerik
 487 likevel.</p>

 507       <div class="body">
 508         <p>Documentation in Debian Edu is provided in several languages, and
 509 it is important to make it both easy to contribute and to keep the
 510 translated versions in sync.  To do this we have come up with what we
 511 believe is a very efficient work flow.</p>
 512
 513 <ol>
 514
 515 <li>The documentation is written in a
 516 <a href="http://moinmo.in">moinmoin wiki</a> (see for example
 517 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze">the
 518 Squeeze release manual</a>) with support for exporting the content as
 519 docbook XML.</li>
 520
 521 <li>This docbook document is given to po4a to extract a gettext style
 522 .pot file with the content, which in turn is used to create .po files
 523 with the translated text.</li>
 524
 525 <li>The .po files are given to translators, and they can always tell
 526 which part of the original wiki document is new or changed.  They can
 527 use their normal translation tools like lokalize or poedit to write
 528 the translation.  There is even a system in place to handle translated
 529 images.</li>
 530
 531 <li>The translated .po files are combined with the original docbook
 532 XML document using po4a to create a translated docbook document.</li>
 533
 534 <li>The final step is to use all the generated docbook files and
 535 create PDF and HTML version of the original and translated documents.</li>
 536
 537 </ol>
 538
 539 <p>This setup work very well, but have a few issues.  The biggest
 540 issue is that <a href="http://moinmo.in/DocBook">the docbook support
 541 we use in moinmoin</a> is not actively maintained.  This make it hard
 542 to upgrade moinmoin.  The docbook support is also buggy, and our build
 543 system contain lots of workarounds to make sure the generated docbook
 544 is usable despite these bugs.</p>
 545
 546 <p>If you want to have a look at our setup, it is all there in the
 547 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/debian-edu-doc">debian-edu-doc
 548 package</a>.</p>
