  32         <p>There is a certain cross-over between the
  33 <ahref="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux
  34 project</a> and <ahref="http://www.edubuntu.org/">the Edubuntu
  35 project</a>, and for example the LTSP packages in Debian are a joint
  36 effort between the projects.  One person with a foot in both camps is
  37 Jonathan Carter, which I am now happy to present to you.</p>
  38
  39 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
  40
  41 <p>I'm a South-African free software geek who lives in Cape Town. My
  42 days vary quite a bit since I'm involved in too many things. As I'm
  43 getting older I'm learning how to focus a bit more :)</p>
  44
  45 <p>I'm also an Edubuntu contributor and I love when there are
  46 opportunities for the Edubuntu and Debian Edu projects to benefit from
  47 each other.</p>
  48
  49 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
  50 project?</strong></p>
  51
  52 <p>I've been somewhat familiar with the project before, but I think my
  53 first direct exposure to the project was when I met Petter
  54 [Reinholdtsen] and Knut [Yrvin] at the Edubuntu summit in 2005 in
  55 London. They provided great feedback that helped the bootstrapping of
  56 Edubuntu. Back then Edubuntu (and even Ubuntu) was still very new and
  57 it was great getting input from people who have been around longer. I
  58 was also still very excitable and said yes to everything and to this
  59 day I have a big todo list backlog that I'm catching up with. I think
  60 over the years the relationship between Edubuntu and Debian-Edu has
  61 been gradually improving, although I think there's a lot that we could
  62 still improve on in terms of working together on packages. I'm sure
  63 we'll get there one day.</p>
  64
  65 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
  66 Edu?</strong></p>
  67
  68 <p>Debian itself already has so many advantages. I could go on about
  69 it for pages, but in essence I love that it's a very honest project
  70 that puts its users first with no hidden agendas and also produces
  71 very high quality work.</p>
  72
  73 <p>I think the advantage of Debian Edu is that it makes many common
  74 set-up tasks simpler so that administrators can get up and running
  75 with a lot less effort and frustration. At the same time I think it
  76 helps to standardise installations in schools so that it's easier for
  77 community members and commercial suppliers to support.</p>
  78
  79 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
  80 Edu?</strong></p>
  81
  82 <p>I had to re-type this one a few times because I'm trying to
  83 separate "disadvantages" from "areas that need improvement" (which is
  84 what I originally rambled on about)</p>
  85
  86 <p>The biggest disadvantage I can think of is lack of manpower. The
  87 project could do so much more if there were more good contributors. I
  88 think some of the problems are external too. Free software and free
  89 content in education is a no-brainer but it takes some time to catch
  90 on. When you've been working with the same proprietary eco-system for
  91 years and have gotten used to it, it can be hard to adjust to some
  92 concepts in the free software world. It would be nice if there were
  93 more Debian Edu consultants across the world. I'd love to be one
  94 myself but I'm already so over-committed that it's just not possible
  95 currently.</p>
  96
  97 <p>I think the best short-term solution to that large-scale problem is
  98 for schools to be pro-active and share their experiences and grow
  99 their skills in-house. I'm often saddened to see how much money
 100 educational institutions spend on 3rd party solutions that they don't
 101 have access to after the service has ended and they could've gotten so
 102 much more value otherwise by being more self-sustainable and
 103 autonomous.</p>
 104
 105 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
 106
 107 <p>My main laptop dual-boots between Debian and Windows 7. I was
 108 Windows free for years but started dual-booting again last year for
 109 some games which help me focus and relax (Starcraft II in
 110 particular). Gaming support on Linux is improving in leaps and bounds
 111 so I suppose I'll soon be able to regain that disk space :)</p>
 112
 113 <p>Besides that I rely on Icedove, Chromium, Terminator, Byobu, irssi,
 114 git, Tomboy, KVM, VLC and LibreOffice. Recently I've been torn on
 115 which desktop environment I like and I'm taking some refuge in Xfce
 116 while I figure that out. I like tools that keep things simple. I enjoy
 117 Python and shell scripting. I went to an Arduino workshop recently and
 118 it was awesome seeing how easy and simple the IDE software was to get
 119 up and running in Debian compared to the users running Windows and OS
 120 X.</p>
 121
 122 <p>I also use mc which some people frown upon slightly. I got used to
 123 using Norton Commander in the early 90's and it stuck (I think the
 124 people who sneer at it is just jealous that they don't know how to use
 125 it :p)
 126
 127 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 128 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
 129
 130 <p>I think trying to force it is unproductive. I also think that in
 131 many cases it's appropriate for schools to use non-free systems and I
 132 don't think that there's any particular moral or ethical problem with
 133 that.</p>
 134
 135 <p>I do think though that free software can already solve so so many
 136 problems in educational institutions and it's just a shame not taking
 137 advantage of that.</p>
 138
 139 <p>I also think that some curricula need serious review. For example,
 140 some areas of the world rely heavily on very specific versions of MS
 141 Office, teaching students to parrot menu items instead of learning the
 142 general concepts. I think that's very unproductive because firstly, MS
 143 Office's interface changes drastically every few years and on top of
 144 that it also locks in a generation to a product that might not be the
 145 best solution for them.</p>
 146
 147 <p>To answer your question, I believe that the right strategy is to
 148 educate and inform, giving someone the information they require to
 149 make a decision that would work for them.</p>

 168       </div>
 169       <div class="body">
 170         <p>When installing RedHat, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu on some machines,
 171 the screen just turn black when Linux boot, either during installation
 172 or on first boot from the hard disk.  I've seen it once in a while the
 173 last few years, but only recently understood the cause.  I've seen it
 174 on HP laptops, and on my latest acquaintance the Packard Bell laptop.
 175 The reason seem to be in the wiring of some laptops.  The system to
 176 control the screen background light is inverted, so when Linux try to
 177 turn the brightness fully on, it end up turning it off instead.  I do
 178 not know which Linux drivers are affected, but this post is about the
 179 i915 driver used by the
 180 <a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Packard Bell
 181 EasyNote LV</a>, Thinkpad X40 and many other laptops.</p>
 182
 183 <p>The problem can be worked around two ways.  Either by adding
 184 i915.invert_brightness=1 as a kernel option, or by adding a file in
 185 /etc/modprobe.d/ to tell modprobe to add the invert_brightness=1
 186 option when it load the i915 kernel module.  On Debian and Ubuntu, it
 187 can be done by running these commands as root:</p>
 188
 189 <pre>
 190 echo options i915 invert_brightness=1 | tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
 191 update-initramfs -u -k all
 192 </pre>
 193
 194 <p>Since March 2012 there is
 195 <a href="http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4dca20efb1a9c2efefc28ad2867e5d6c3f5e1955">a
 196 mechanism in the Linux kernel</a> to tell the i915 driver which
 197 hardware have this problem, and get the driver to invert the
 198 brightness setting automatically.  To use it, one need to add a row in
 199 <a href="http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c">the
 200 intel_quirks array</a> in the driver source
 201 <tt>drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c</tt> (look for "<tt>static
 202 struct intel_quirk intel_quirks</tt>"), specifying the PCI device
 203 number (vendor number 8086 is assumed) and subdevice vendor and device
 204 number.</p>
 205
 206 <p>My Packard Bell EasyNote LV got this output from <tt>lspci
 207 -vvnn</tt> for the video card in question:</p>
 208
 209 <p><pre>

 223  Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
 224  Capabilities: <access denied>
 225  Kernel driver in use: i915
 226 </pre></p>
 227
 228 <p>The resulting intel_quirks entry would then look like this:</p>
 229
 230 <p><pre>
 231 struct intel_quirk intel_quirks[] = {
 232        ...
 233         /* Packard Bell EasyNote LV11HC needs invert brightness quirk */
 234         { 0x0156, 0x1025, 0x0688, quirk_invert_brightness },
 235        ...
 236 }
 237 </pre></p>
 238
 239 <p>According to the kernel module instructions (as seen using
 240 <tt>modinfo i915</tt>), information about hardware needing the
 241 invert_brightness flag should be sent to the
 242 <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel">dri-devel
 243 (at) lists.freedesktop.org</a> mailing list to reach the kernel
 244 developers.  But my email about the laptop sent 2013-06-03 have not
 245 yet shown up in
 246 <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-June/thread.html">the
 247 web archive for the mailing list</a>, so I suspect they do not accept
 248 emails from non-subscribers.  Because of this, I sent my patch also to
 249 the Debian bug tracking system instead as
 250 <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/710938">BTS report #710938</a>, to make
 251 sure the patch is not lost.</p>
 252
 253 <p>Unfortunately, it is not enough to fix the kernel to get Laptops
 254 with this problem working properly with Linux.  If you use Gnome, your
 255 worries should be over at this point.  But if you use KDE, there is
 256 something in KDE ignoring the invert_brightness setting and turning on
 257 the screen during login.  I've reported it to Debian as
 258 <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/711237">BTS report #711237</a>, and
 259 have no idea yet how to figure out exactly what subsystem is doing
 260 this.  Perhaps you can help?  Perhaps you know what the Gnome
 261 developers did to handle this, and this can give a clue to the KDE
 262 developers?  Or you know where in KDE the screen brightness is changed
 263 during login?  If so, please update the BTS report (or get in touch if
 264 you do not know how to update BTS).</p>

 294 <p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
 295
 296 <p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
 297 Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
 298 out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
 299 network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
 300 services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
 301 and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
 302 environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
 303 the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
 304 installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
 305 database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
 306 directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
 307 desktop contains
 308 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html">more
 309 than 60 educational software packages</a> and more are available from
 310 the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
 311 and Xfce desktop environment.</p>

 417         <p>Here is a call for help from the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project.
 418 We have two problems blocking the release of the Wheezy version we
 419 hope to get released soon.  The two problems require some with PHP
 420 skills, and we seem to lack anyone with both time and PHP skills in
 421 the project:
 422
 423 <ol>
 424
 425 <li>It is impossible to log into the slbackup web interface
 426   (slbackup-php) using the root user and password.  This is
 427   <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/700257">BTS report #700257</a>.
 428   This used to work, but stopped working some time since Squeeze.
 429   Perhaps some obsolete PHP feature was used?</li>
 430
 431 <li>It is not possible to "mass import" user lists in Gosa, neither
 432   using ldif nor using CSV files.  The feature was disabled after a
 433   major rewrite of Gosa, and need to be ported to the new system.
 434   This is <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/698840">BTS report
 435   #698840</a>.</li>
 436
 437 </ol>
 438
 439 <p>If you can help us, please join us on IRC
 440 (<a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu">#debian-edu on
 441 irc.debian.org</a>) and provide patches via the BTS.</p>

 462         <p>It has been a while since my last English
 463 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and Skolelinux</a>
 464 interview last November.  But the developers and translators are still
 465 pulling along to get the Wheezy based release out the door, and this
 466 time I managed to get an interview from one of the French translators
 467 in the project, Cédric Boutillier.</p>
 468
 469 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
 470
 471 <p>I am 34 year old. I live near Paris, France. I am an assistant
 472 professor in probability theory. I spend my daytime teaching
 473 mathematics at the university and doing fundamental research in
 474 probability in connexion with combinatorics and statistical physics.</p>
 475
 476 <p>I have been involved in the Debian project for a couple of years
 477 and became Debian Developer a few months ago. I am working on Ruby
 478 packaging, publicity and translation.</p>
 479
 480 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
 481 project?</strong></p>
 482
 483 <p>I came to the Debian Edu project after a call for translation of
 484 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Manuals">the
 485 Debian Edu manual</a> for the release of Debian Edu Squeeze. Since
 486 then, I have been working on updating the French translation of the
 487 manual.
 488
 489 <p>I had the opportunity to make an installation of Debian Edu in a
 490 virtual machine when I was preparing localised version of some screen
 491 shots for the manual. I was amazed to see it worked out of the box and
 492 how comprehensive the list of software installed by default was.</p>
 493
 494 <p>What amazed me was the complete network infrastructure directly
 495 ready to use, which can and the nice administration interface provided
 496 by <a href="https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/">GOsa²</a>.  What pleased
 497 me also was the fact that among the software installed by default,
 498 there were many "traditional" educative software to learn languages,
 499 to count, to program... but also software to develop creativity and
 500 artistic skills with music (<a href="http://ardour.org/">Ardour</a>,
 501 <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a>) and
 502 movies/animation (I was especially thinking of
 503 <a href="http://linuxstopmotion.sourceforge.net/">Stopmotion</a>).</p>
 504
 505 <p>I am following the development of Debian Edu and am hanging out on
 506 <a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu">#debian-edu</a>.
 507 Unfortunately, I don't much time to get more involved in this
 508 beautiful project.</p>
 509
 510 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
 511 Edu?</strong></p>
 512
 513 <p>For me, the main advantages of Skolelinux/Debian Edu are its
 514 community of experts and its precise documentation, as well as the
 515 fact that it provides a solution ready to use.</p>
 516
 517 <p>I would add also the fact that it is based on the rock solid Debian
 518 distribution, which ensures stability and provides a huge collection
 519 of educational free software.</p>
 520
 521 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
 522 Edu?</strong></p>
 523
 524 <p>Maybe the lack of manpower to do lobbying on the
 525 project. Sometimes, people who need to take decisions concerning IT do
 526 not have all the elements to evaluate properly free software
 527 solutions. The fact that support by a company may be difficult to find
 528 is probably a problem if the school does not have IT personnel.</p>
 529
 530 <p>One can find support from a company by looking at
 531 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Help/ProfessionalHelp">the
 532 wiki dokumentation</a>, where some countries already have a number of
 533 companies providing support for Debian Edu, like Germany or
 534 Norway. This list is easy to find readily from the manual. However,
 535 for other countries, like France, the list is empty. I guess that
 536 consultants proposing support for Debian would be able to provide some
 537 support for Debian Edu as well.</p>
 538
 539 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
 540
 541 <p>I am using the KDE Plasma Desktop. But the pieces of software I use
 542 most runs in a terminal: Mutt and OfflineIMAP for emails, latex for
 543 scientific documents, mpd for music. VIM is my editor of choice.  I am
 544 also using the mathematical software
 545 <a href="http://www.scilab.org/en/scilab/about‎">Scilab</a> and
 546 <a href="http://www.sagemath.org/index.html‎">Sage</a> (built from
 547 source as not completely packaged for Debian, yet).
 548
 549 <p><strong>Do you have any suggestions for teachers interested in
 550 using the free software in Debian to teach mathematics and
 551 statistics?</strong></p>
 552
 553 <p>I do not have any "nice" recommendations for statistics. At our
 554 university, we use both <a href="http://www.r-project.org/‎">R</a> and
 555 Scilab to teach statistics and probabilistic simulations. For
 556 geometry, there are nice programs:</p>
 557
 558 <ul>
 559
 560 <li><a href="http://www.drgeo.eu/">drgeo</a> and
 561 <a href="http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/kig‎">kig</a> to do
 562 constructions in planar geometry
 563
 564 <li><a href="http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/software/download/kali.html">kali</a>
 565 to discover symmetry groups (the so-called wallpapers and frieze
 566 groups), although the interface looks a bit old.</li>
 567
 568 </ul>
 569
 570 <p>I like also
 571 <a href="http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/cantor">cantor</a>, which
 572 provides a uniform interface to SciLab, Sage,
 573 <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Octave‎">Octave</a>, etc...</p>
 574
 575 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 576 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
 577
 578 <p>My suggestions would be to</p>
 579
 580 <ul>
 581
 582 <li>advertise the reduction of costs when free software is used.</li>
 583
 584 <li>communicate about the quality of free software projects, using
 585     well known examples like Firefox, ThunderBird and
 586     OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.</li>
 587
 588 <li>advertise the living and strong community around the project.</li>
 589
 590 <li>show that it is not more difficult to use than any other
 591     system.</li>
 592
 593 </ul>

 614         <p>Jeg jobber til daglig ved <a href="http://www.uio.no/">Universitetet
 615 i Oslo</a>, en institusjon som lenge har vektlagt verdien av åpne
 616 standarder og fri programvare.  Men noe har endret seg, og for en
 617 liten stund tilbake annonserte USIT at dagens fungerende e-postsystemet
 618 basert på fri programvare skulle byttes ut med Microsoft Exchange og
 619 at Microsoft Outlook skulle bli den best fungerende men antagelig ikke
 620 eneste støttede e-postklienten.  Annonseringen har ført til flere
 621 protester og <a href="http://folk.uio.no/dssantos/nooutlookatuio/">en
 622 underskriftskampanje</a>, initiert av Diana Santos, der så langt 253
 623 personer har signert.  Prosjektet
 624 <a href="http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike/">NIKE (Ny integrert
 625 kalender/e-post)</a> ble initiert for å se på mulige løsninger med
 626 utgangspunkt i at en kombinert epost/kalenderløsning var påkrevd, og
 627 prosjektet
 628 <a href="http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike-implementasjon/">NIKE-implementasjon</a>
 629 er igang med å rulle ut MS Exchange ved Universitetet i Oslo.</p>
 630
 631 <p>For kun kort tid siden ble det annonsert at det blir et åpent møte
 632 med ledelsen hos universitetet i Oslo med disse planene som tema:</p>
 633
 634 <p>Tid: <strong>Onsdag 2013-06-05 kl. 10:00</strong>
 635 <br>Sted: <strong>9. etasje i Lucy Smiths hus (admin-bygget)</strong></p>
 636
 637 <p> Det kan være en god plass å stille opp hvis en som meg ikke tror
 638 valget av Microsoft Exchange som sentral epostinfrastruktur er et
 639 heldig valg for Norges ledende forskningsuniversitet, men at en er mer
 640 tjent med å selv
 641 <a href="http://nuug.no/dokumenter/kronikk-friprog-itsikkerhet.shtml">beholde
 642 kontrollen over egen infrastruktur</a>.</p>
