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>

70 <div class="body">
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>

215 <div class="date">
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>

384 prosjektet opprettet som et tilbud til skoler som ønsket en
385 kommersiell samarbeidsparter. Det bør nevnes at jeg er styremedlem i
386 Skolelinux Drift AS og styreleder i selskapets hovedeier stiftelsen
387 <a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/">SLX Debian Labs</a>
388 som beskytter verdiene til Skolelinux-prosjektet, og kjenner Kåre den
389 veien.</p>
390
391 <p><strong>Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?</strong></p>
392
393 <p>Jeg har siden januar 2010 vært daglig leder i Skolelinux Drift AS,
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>

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>

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

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. The docbook
542 support is also buggy, and our build system contain workarounds to
543 make sure the generated docbook is usable despite these bugs.</p>
544
545 <p>If you want to have a look at our setup, it is all there in the
546 <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/debian-edu-doc">debian-edu-doc
547 package</a>.</p>

568 <p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a>
569 users are spread all across the globe. The second inteview after
570 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/03/msg00001.html">the
571 Squeeze release</a> was publised is with John Ingleby, a teacher and
572 long time Linux user in United Kingdom.</p>
573
574 <p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
575
576 <p>I teach ICT part time at the Rudolf Steiner School in Kings
577 Langley, near London, UK. Previously I worked as a technical
578 author/trainer while my children attended the school, and I also
579 contributed to the Schoolforge UK community with the aim of
580 encouraging UK schools to adopt free/open source software. Five or six
581 years ago we had about 50 schools interested in some way, but we
582 weren't able to convert many of them into sustainable
583 installations.</p>
584
585 <p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
586 project?</strong></p>
587
588 <p>Skolelinux had two representatives at an early Edubuntu meeting in
589 London which I attended. However at that time our school network had
590 just been installed using CentOS, LTSP 4 and GNOME. When LTSP 5 came
591 along we switched to Edubuntu thin client servers so now we have a
592 mixed environment which includes Windows PCs and student laptops, as
593 well as their MacBooks and iPads. However, the proprietary systems
594 have always been rather problematic, and we never built a GUI for the
595 LDAP server, so when I discovered Skolelinux is configured for all
596 these things we decided to try it.</p>
597
598 <p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
599 Edu?</strong></p>
600
601 <p>By far the biggest advantage is the Debian Edu community. Apart
602 from that I have always believed in the same "sustainable computing"
603 goals that Skolelinux is built on: installing Linux on computers which
604 would otherwise be thrown away, to provide a reliable, secure and
605 low-cost IT environment for schools. From my own experience I know
606 that a part-time person can teach and manage a network of about 25
607 Linux computers, but it would take much more of my time if we had
608 proprietary software everywhere.</p>
609
610 <p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
611 Edu?</strong></p>
612
613 <p>As a newcomer I'm just finding out who's who in the community and
614 how you're organised, and what your procedures are for dealing with
615 various things such as editing manual pages and so-on. The only
616 English language mailing list seems to be for developers as well as
617 users, so my inbox needs heavy pruning each day!</p>
618
619 <p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
620
621 <p>Besides the software already mentioned at school we use Samba,
622 OpenLDAP, CUPS, Nagios and Dansguardian for the network, and on the
623 desktops we have LibreOffice, Firefox, GIMP and Inkscape. At home I
624 use Ubuntu and an Android 4 eePad Transformer (but I'm not sure if
625 that counts...)</p>
626
627 <p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
628 get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
629
630 <p>That's a tough question! For very many years UK schools installed
631 and taught only proprietary software, so that at the highest levels
632 the notion of "computer" means simply "proprietary office
633 applications". However, schools today are experiencing budget
634 constraints, and many are having to think hard about upgrading Windows
635 XP. At the same time, we have students showing teachers how to use
636 iPads, MacBooks and Android, so the choice of operating system is no
637 longer quite so automatic. What is more, our government at last
638 realised that we need people with programming skills, so they're
639 putting coding back in the curriculum! And it's encouraging that the
640 first 10,000 Raspberry Pi units sold out in 2 hours.</p>
641
642 <p>I don't really know what strategy is going to get UK schools to use
643 free software, but building an active community of Skolelinux/Debian
644 Edu users in this country has to be part of it.</p>

664 <div class="body">
665 <p>Den siste uka har det vært en del skriverier om hvor store
666 forskjeller det er mellom skolene når det gjelder digital kompetanse.
667 Et eksempel er
668 <a href="http://www.digi.no/891660/bekymret-for-it-i-skolen">oppslaget
669 i Digi</a>. Diskusjonen fikk meg til å bli litt nysgjerrig på om
670 Linux-skoler har større PC-tettet enn snittet i landet. Grunnlaget
671 for diskusjonen har vært undersøkelsen
672 <a href="https://iktsenteret.no/ressurser/monitor-2011-skolens-digitale-tilstand">Monitor
673 2011</a>, som bruker informasjon fra
674 <a href="https://www.wis.no/gsi">Grunnskolens Informasjonssystem</a>
675 (GSI). GSI-data kan lastes ned fra web og jeg lastet ned en Excel-fil
676 (intet åpen standard-valg tilgjengelig) med navn på alle skoler,
677 hvilke kommune de befinner seg i og hvor mange elever pr. elev-PC de
678 har rapportert inn. For å få en ide om svaret trenger jeg deretter å
679 vite hvilke skoler i landet som bruker Linux, slik at jeg kan slå dem
680 opp i GSI og finne ut hvor stor PC-tetthet de har.</p>
681
682 <p>Jeg vet om skoler i Balsfjord, Flora, Harstad, Kongsvinger, Narvik,
683 Nittedal, Nord-Odal, Randaberg og Sunndal som bruker Skolelinux eller
684 andre Linux-varianter. Jeg tror det er flere enn de 56 skolene jeg
685 har klart å identifisere de siste dagene, men har ikke klart å få det
686 bekreftet med offentlige kilder.</p>
687
688 <p>Monitor 2011-rapporteres side 95 forteller at det "ifølge GSI
689 (20120-2011) er det 3,11 elever per datamaskin når vi tar med alle
690 grunnskoler (1.-10.trinn)". For de 56 Linux-skolene jeg har klart å
691 koble mot informasjon i GSI er det 2,28 elever per elevdatamaskin,
692 hvilket betyr at det er 36% høyere PC-tetthet på Linux-skoler enn
693 landsgjennomsnittet. Linux-skolen med høyest tettet blant de jeg har
694 notert -skole er Flora ungdomsskule i Flora kommune med 0.82 elev
695 pr. PC (482 elever, 588 elevdatamaskiner).</p>
696
697 <p>Skolelinux gir datamaskiner lengre levetid, og en kan dermed få
698 flere operative datamaskiner for samme budsjett, i tillegg til en
699 rekke andre fordeler. Kan det være forklaringen på forskjellen?</p>
700
701 <p>Tallene må tas med en liten klype, da GSI ser ut til å ha endel
702 feilføringer. Jeg synes i hvert fall en skole med 423 elever og 9
703 elevmaskiner ser mistenkelig ut. Eller en skole med 346 elever, 0
704 elevmaskiner, som er et annet ekstremt eksempel jeg fant.</p>
705
706 <p>Takk til Sturle Sunde, Klaus Ade Johnstad, Ole-Anders Andreassen og
707 Trond Mæhlum for innspill om skoler med Linux.</p>
