  22       <div class="date"> 3rd April 2011</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>Here is a small update for my English readers.  Most of my blog
  24 posts have been in Norwegian the last few weeks, so here is a short
  25 update in English.</p>
  26
  27 <p>The kids still keep me too busy to get much free software work
  28 done, but I did manage to organise a project to get a Norwegian port
  29 of the British service
  30 <a href="http://www.fixmystreet.com/">FixMyStreet</a> up and running,
  31 and it has been running for a month now.  The entire project has been
  32 organised by me and two others.  Around Christmas we gathered sponsors
  33 to fund the development work.  In January I drafted a contract with
  34 <a href="http://www.mysociety.org/">mySociety</a> on what to develop,
  35 and in February the development took place.  Most of it involved
  36 converting the source to use GPS coordinates instead of British
  37 easting/northing, and the resulting code should be a lot easier to get
  38 running in any country by now.  The Norwegian
  39 <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</a> is using
  40 <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetmap</a> as the map
  41 source and the source for administrative borders in Norway, and
  42 support for this had to be added/fixed.</p>
  43
  44 <p>The Norwegian version went live March 3th, and we spent the weekend
  45 polishing the system before we announced it March 7th.  The system is
  46 running on a KVM instance of Debian/Squeeze, and has seen almost 3000
  47 problem reports in a few weeks.  Soon we hope to announce the Android
  48 and iPhone versions making it even easier to report problems with the
  49 public infrastructure.</p>
  50
  51 <p>Perhaps something to consider for those of you in countries without
  52 such service?</p>
