  24       <div class="date">19th March 2012</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a>
  26 users are spread all across the globe.  The second inteview after
  27 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/03/msg00001.html">the
  28 Squeeze release</a> was publised is with John Ingleby, a teacher and
  29 long time Linux user in United Kingdom.</p>
  30
  31 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
  32
  33 <p>I teach ICT part time at the Rudolf Steiner School in Kings
  34 Langley, near London, UK. Previously I worked as a technical
  35 author/trainer while my children attended the school, and I also
  36 contributed to the Schoolforge UK community with the aim of
  37 encouraging UK schools to adopt free/open source software. Five or six
  38 years ago we had about 50 schools interested in some way, but we
  39 weren't able to convert many of them into sustainable
  40 installations.</p>
  41
  42 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
  43 project?</strong></p>
  44
  45 <p>Skolelinux had two representatives at an early Edubuntu meeting in
  46 London which I attended. However at that time our school network had
  47 just been installed using CentOS, LTSP 4 and GNOME. When LTSP 5 came
  48 along we switched to Edubuntu thin client servers so now we have a
  49 mixed environment which includes Windows PCs and student laptops, as
  50 well as their MacBooks and iPads. However, the proprietary systems
  51 have always been rather problematic, and we never built a GUI for the
  52 LDAP server, so when I discovered Skolelinux is configured for all
  53 these things we decided to try it.</p>
  54
  55 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
  56 Edu?</strong></p>
  57
  58 <p>By far the biggest advantage is the Debian Edu community. Apart
  59 from that I have always believed in the same "sustainable computing"
  60 goals that Skolelinux is built on: installing Linux on computers which
  61 would otherwise be thrown away, to provide a reliable, secure and
  62 low-cost IT environment for schools. From my own experience I know
  63 that a part-time person can teach and manage a network of about 25
  64 Linux computers, but it would take much more of my time if we had
  65 proprietary software everywhere.</p>
  66
  67 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
  68 Edu?</strong></p>
  69
  70 <p>As a newcomer I'm just finding out who's who in the community and
  71 how you're organised, and what your procedures are for dealing with
  72 various things such as editing manual pages and so-on. The only
  73 English language mailing list seems to be for developers as well as
  74 users, so my inbox needs heavy pruning each day!</p>
  75
  76 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
  77
  78 <p>Besides the software already mentioned at school we use Samba,
  79 OpenLDAP, CUPS, Nagios and Dansguardian for the network, and on the
  80 desktops we have LibreOffice, Firefox, GIMP and Inkscape. At home I
  81 use Ubuntu and an Android 4 eePad Transformer (but I'm not sure if
  82 that counts...)</p>
  83
  84 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
  85 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
  86
  87 <p>That's a tough question! For very many years UK schools installed
  88 and taught only proprietary software, so that at the highest levels
  89 the notion of "computer" means simply "proprietary office
  90 applications".  However, schools today are experiencing budget
  91 constraints, and many are having to think hard about upgrading Windows
  92 XP.  At the same time, we have students showing teachers how to use
  93 iPads, MacBooks and Android, so the choice of operating system is no
  94 longer quite so automatic. What is more, our government at last
  95 realised that we need people with programming skills, so they're
  96 putting coding back in the curriculum! And it's encouraging that the
  97 first 10,000 Raspberry Pi units sold out in 2 hours.</p>
  98
  99 <p>I don't really know what strategy is going to get UK schools to use
 100 free software, but building an active community of Skolelinux/Debian
 101 Edu users in this country has to be part of it.</p>

 115       <div class="date">16th March 2012</div>
 116       <div class="body"><p>Documentation in Debian Edu is provided in several languages, and
 117 it is important to make it both easy to contribute and to keep the
 118 translated versions in sync.  To do this we have come up with what we
 119 believe is a very efficient work flow.</p>
 120
 121 <ol>
 122
 123 <li>The documentation is written in a
 124 <a href="http://moinmo.in">moinmoin wiki</a> (see for example
 125 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze">the
 126 Squeeze release manual</a>) with support for exporting the content as
 127 docbook XML.</li>
 128
 129 <li>This docbook document is given to po4a to extract a gettext style
 130 .pot file with the content, which in turn is used to create .po files
 131 with the translated text.</li>
 132
 133 <li>The .po files are given to translators, and they can always tell
 134 which part of the original wiki document is new or changed.  They can
 135 use their normal translation tools like lokalize or poedit to write
 136 the translation.  There is even a system in place to handle translated
 137 images.</li>
 138
 139 <li>The translated .po files are combined with the original docbook
 140 XML document using po4a to create a translated docbook document.</li>
 141
 142 <li>The final step is to use all the generated docbook files and
 143 create PDF and HTML version of the original and translated documents.</li>
 144
 145 </ol>
 146
 147 <p>This setup work very well, but have a few issues.  The biggest
 148 issue is that <a href="http://moinmo.in/DocBook">the docbook support
 149 we use in moinmoin</a> is not actively maintained.  The docbook
 150 support is also buggy, and our build system contain workarounds to
 151 make sure the generated docbook is usable despite these bugs.</p>
 152
 153 <p>If you want to have a look at our setup, it is all there in the
 154 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/debian-edu-doc">debian-edu-doc
 155 package</a>.</p>

 202 <a href="http://www.slxdrift.no/">Skolelinux Drift AS</a>, selskapet
 203 prosjektet opprettet som et tilbud til skoler som ønsket en
 204 kommersiell samarbeidsparter.  Det bør nevnes at jeg er styremedlem i
 205 Skolelinux Drift AS og styreleder i selskapets hovedeier stiftelsen
 206 <a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/">SLX Debian Labs</a>
 207 som beskytter verdiene til Skolelinux-prosjektet, og kjenner Kåre den
 208 veien.</p>
 209
 210 <p><strong>Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?</strong></p>
 211
 212 <p>Jeg har siden januar 2010 vært daglig leder i Skolelinux Drift AS,
 213 som leverer support, installasjon, tilpasning, drift, og opplæring på
 214 Debian Edu / Skolelinux. Fra 2012 er jeg valgt inn som styremedlem i
 215 FRiSK.  Min forrige jobb var som KAM i Redpill Linpro (som er en av
 216 eierne i Skolelinux Drift).  Før det var jeg daglig leder i et eget 7
 217 manns konsulent selskap som også startet med fri programvare mot
 218 slutten.</p>
 219
 220 <p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?</strong></p>
 221
 222 <p>Jeg hørte om det først når jeg jobbet i Redpill Linpro.  Men jeg
 223 har også en datter som går på en friskole, som også bruker Skolelinux.
 224 Som kjent har ikke friskoler de samme økonomiske rammebetingelsene som
 225 offentlige skoler, så for dem var det det absolutt beste alternativet.
 226 De anser også Skolelinux som et stabilt system, som bare går og går (i
 227 motsetning til det lille Windows-baserte nettverket de har på
 228 admin-siden).</p>
 229
 230 <p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
 231
 232 <p>Sentralisert drift av tynne og diskløse arbeidsstasjoner. Således
 233 lydløse og raskere arbeidsstasjoner som er bedre i klasserommet.
 234 Lengre levetid på PC'er.  Store besparelser på maskinvare og drift. Og
 235 så klart fjerning av alle lisenskostnader. Personlig synes jeg også at
 236 mange av programmene er bedre enn alternativene. Men dette er ofte en
 237 smakssak og avhengig om man må ha det man er vant til fra før.</p>
 238
 239 <p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
 240
 241 <p>For lite kjentskap til løsningen.  Noen ganger for dårlig
 242 kompatibilitet med arbeidsstasjoners/bærbare maskiner sine
 243 nettverksdrivere eller skjermkort. Men dette løser vi i skolene ved
 244 standardisering. Ellers er det få, om nesten ingen, av de kjente
 245 maskinvare / infrastruktur leverandørene til fylkes- / kommuner som
 246 tilbyr denne plattformen.  Skal dette endre seg så må kommunene selv
 247 sette slike krav til leverandørene.</p>
 248
 249 <p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?</strong></p>
 250
 251 <p>Har brukt OpenOffice.org siden starten (2001 ?), Kun Linux på
 252 desktop siden 2005. Bruker i dag Kubuntu, Libreoffice og ymse annet
 253 programvare til ulik kontorbruk som er lett å installere / teste via
 254 alle programarkivene som finnes.</p>
 255
 256 <p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
 257 skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?</strong></p>
 258
 259 <p>Fortsette å presentere flere av de gode eksemplene hvor Debian Edu
 260 / Skolelinux brukes i kommuner og enkeltskoler.  Vi må få bedre frem
 261 at det er mulig tilknytte både Windows og Mac klienter på denne
 262 plattformen (selv om det vil øke driftskostnadene).  Dette gjøres
 263 mange steder.  Spesielt er det mange lærere som ønsker å bruke
 264 Windows/Mac-bærbare, gjerne som sin private PC også. Det er også mulig
 265 for kommunen å integrere med Active Directory i stedet for OpenLDAP
 266 som kommer med ut av boksen (selv om også dette øker kostnadene).
 267 Dette vil muligens bidra til å fjerne noe motstand hos noen
 268 potensielle brukere / driftpersonell for å ta i bruk noe
 269 nytt. Fremveksten av mobile brukere og nettbrett går i vår favør.
 270 Brukerne blir kjent og vant til flere nye operativsystemer /
 271 brukergrensesnitt. Så utviklerfellesskapet bør jobbe videre med å
 272 integrere flere nye klienttyper, som ultra lav-kostklienter og
 273 nettbrett (blant annet fri programvare-alternativet
 274 <a href="http://makeplaylive.com/">Spark</a> med
 275 <a href="http://www.merproject.org/">Mer OS</a> og
 276 <a href="http://plasma-active.org/">KDE Active Plasma</a>).</p>

 315       <div class="date"> 9th March 2012</div>
 316       <div class="body"><p>Inspired by <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.com/tag/interview/">the
 317 interview series</a> conducted by Raphael, I started a Norwegian
 318 interview series with people involved in the Debian Edu / Skolelinux
 319 community.  This was so popular that I believe it is time to move to a
 320 more international audience.</p>
 321
 322 <p>While <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and
 323 Skolelinux</a> originated in France and Norway, and have most users in
 324 Europe, there are users all around the globe.  One of those far away
 325 from me is Nigel Barker, a long time Debian Edu system administrator
 326 and contributor.  It is thanks to him that Debian Edu is adjusted to
 327 work out of the box in Japan.  I got him to answer a few questions,
 328 and am happy to share the response with you. :)
 329
 330
 331 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
 332
 333 <p>My name is Nigel Barker, and I am British. I am married to Yumiko,
 334 and we have three lovely children, aged 15, 14 and 4(!) I am the IT
 335 Coordinator at Hiroshima International School, Japan. I am also a
 336 teacher, and in fact I spend most of my day teaching Mathematics,
 337 Science, IT, and Chemistry. I was originally a Chemistry teacher, but
 338 I have always had an interest in computers. Another teacher teaches
 339 primary school IT, but apart from that I am the only computer person,
 340 so that means I am the network manager, technician and webmaster,
 341 also, and I help people with their computer problems. I teach python
 342 to beginners in an after-school club. I am way too busy, so I really
 343 appreciate the simplicity of Skolelinux.</p>
 344
 345 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 346 project?</strong></p>
 347
 348 <p>In around 2004 or 5 I discovered the ltsp project, and set up a
 349 server in the IT lab. I wanted some way to connect it to our central
 350 samba server, which I was also quite poor at configuring. I discovered
 351 Edubuntu when it came out, but it didn't really improve my setup. I
 352 did various desperate searches for things like "school Linux server"
 353 and ended up in a document called "Drift" something or other. Reading
 354 there it became clear that Skolelinux was going to solve all my
 355 problems in one go. I was very excited, but apprehensive, because my
 356 previous attempts to install Debian had ended in failure (I used
 357 Mandrake for everything - ltsp, samba, apache, mail, ns...). I
 358 downloaded a beta version, had some problems, so subscribed to the
 359 Debian Edu list for help. I have remained subscribed ever since, and
 360 my school has run a Skolelinux network since Sarge.</p>
 361
 362 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 363 Edu?</strong></p>
 364
 365 <p>For me the integrated setup. This is not just the server, or the
 366 workstation, or the ltsp. Its all of them, and its all configured
 367 ready to go. I read somewhere in the early documentation that it is
 368 designed to be setup and managed by the Maths or Science teacher, who
 369 doesn't necessarily know much about computers, in a small Norwegian
 370 school. That describes me perfectly if you replace Norway with
 371 Japan.</p>
 372
 373 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 374 Edu?</strong></p>
 375
 376 <p>The desktop is fairly plain. If you compare it with Edubuntu, who
 377 have fun themes for children, or with distributions such as Mint, who
 378 make the desktop beautiful. They create a good impression on people
 379 who don't need to understand how to use any of it, but who might be
 380 important to the school. School administrators or directors, for
 381 instance, or parents. Even kids. Debian itself usually has ugly
 382 default theme settings. It was my dream a few years back that some
 383 kind of integration would allow Edubuntu to do the desktop stuff and
 384 Debian Edu the servers, but now I realise how impossible that is.  A
 385 second disadvantage is that if something goes wrong, or you need to
 386 customise something, then suddenly the level of expertise required
 387 multiplies. For example, backup wasn't working properly in Lenny. It
 388 took me ages to learn how to set up my own server to do rsync backups.
 389 I am afraid of anything to do with ldap, but perhaps Gosa will
 390 help.</p>
 391
 392 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
 393
 394 <p>Nowadays I only use Debian on my personal computers. I have one for
 395 studio work (I play guitar and write songs), running AV Linux
 396 (customised Debian) a netbook running Squeeze, and a bigger laptop
 397 still running Skolelinux Lenny workstation. I have a Tjener in my
 398 house, that's very useful for the family photos and music.  At school
 399 the students only use Skolelinux. (Some teachers and the office still
 400 have windows). So that means we only use free software all day every
 401 day. Open office, The GIMP, Firefox/Iceweasel, VLC and Audacity are
 402 installed on every computer in school, irrespective of OS.  We also
 403 have Koha on Debian for the library, and Apache, Moodle, b2evolution
 404 and Etomite on Debian for the www. The firewall is Untangle.</p>
 405
 406 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 407 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>

 409 <p>Current trends are in our favour. Open source is big in industry,
 410 and ordinary people have heard of it. The spread of Android and the
 411 popularity of Apple have helped to weaken the impression that you have
 412 to have Microsoft on everything. People complain to me much less about
 413 file formats and Word than they did 5 years ago.  The Edu aspect is
 414 also a selling point. This is all customised for schools. Where is the
 415 Windows-edu, or the Mac-edu?  But of course the main attraction is
 416 budget.The trick is to convince people that the quality is not
 417 compromised when you stop paying and use free software instead. That
 418 is one reason why I say the desktop experience is a weakness. People
 419 are not impressed when their USB drive doesn't work, or their browser
 420 doesn't play flash, for example.</p>

 463       <div class="date"> 5th March 2012</div>
 464       <div class="body"><p>Tok nettopp en titt på listen over løste problemer i
 465 <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</a> (hentet via
 466 <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/open311">Open311-søkegrensesnittet</a>),
 467 og lot meg imponere over Hamar kommunes raske respons.  Sjekk
 468 <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/report/10791">rapport #10791</a>, der
 469 Hamar kommune kl. 10:19 i dag får beskjed om at det er dårlig
 470 brøyting, allerede 10:50 melder kommunen tilbake at de er på saken.
 471 18:26 samme dag melder så innsender at problemet er løst.  Hatten av
 472 for folkene i Hamar kommune!</p>
 473
 474 <p>Apropos bra respons.  En bruker sendte for noen dager inn følgende
 475 tilbakemelding til oss som står bak tjenesten.</p>
 476
 477 <p><blockquote>Rapporterte inn slukte gatelys på Torsnesveien, og to
 478 uker etterpå er lysene tilbake. Flott service!</blockquote></p>
 479
 480 <p>Det er veldig hyggelig å høre at FiksGataMi fungerer bra for
 481 innbyggerne.  Måtte alle landets innbyggere få samme gode erfaring med
 482 FiksGataMi og det offentlige.  I dag er det 52 kommuner som har lenke
 483 til FiksGataMi fra sine nettsider, og dermed indikerer at de liker vår
 484 tjeneste.  Måtte de få følge av resten av landets kommuner snart. :)</p>

 518       <div class="date"> 3rd March 2012</div>
 519       <div class="body"><p>Many years ago, the <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux
 520 / Debian Edu project</a> initiated a student project to create a tool
 521 for making stop motion movies.  The proposal came from a teacher
 522 needing such tool on Skolelinux.  The project, called "stopmotion",
 523 was manned by two extraordinary students and won a school award and a
 524 national aware with this great project.  The project was initiated and
 525 mentored by Herman Robak, and manned by the students Bjørn Erik Nilsen
 526 and Fredrik Berg Kjølstad.  They got in touch with people at Aardman
 527 Animation studio and received feedback on how professionals would like
 528 such stopmotion tool to work, and the end result was and is used by
 529 animators around the globe.  But as is usual after studying, both got
 530 jobs and went elsewhere, and did not have time to properly tend to the
 531 project, and it has been lingering for a few years now.  Until last
 532 year...</p>
 533
 534 <p>Last year some of the users got together with Herman, and moved the
 535 project to Sourceforge and in effect restarted the project under a new
 536 name,
 537 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxstopmotion/">linuxstopmotion</a>.
 538 The name change was done to make it possible to find the project using
 539 Internet search engines (try to search for 'stopmotion' to see what I
 540 mean). I've been following
 541 <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxstopmotion-community">the
 542 mailing list</a> and the improvement already in place and planned for
 543 the future is encouraging.  If you want to make stop motion movies.
 544 Check it out. :)</p>
