  32         <p>I sommer hadde avisen <a href="http://www.fremover.no/">Fremover</a>
  33 et flott oppslag om bruken av
  34 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a> på alle skolene
  35 der.  Artikkelen var på trykk på side 4 og 5 i papirutgaven
  36 2012-07-23, men mangler dessverre i nettutgaven av avisen.  Mine
  37 henvendelser til avisen for å få artikkelen på nett har så langt ikke
  38 vært vellykket.</p>
  39
  40 <p>Artikkelen med tittelen "Narvik kommune bruker gratisprogram i
  41 skolen - Har spart millioner", forteller om hvordan bruken av
  42 Skolelinux er en stor suksess i Narvik siden det ble tatt i bruk i
  43 2004.  Her er noen fine sitater:</p>
  44
  45 <blockquote>
  46 "- Skolelinux har spart kommunen for store pengesummer, millionbeløp,
  47   som de heller kan bruke på andre ting, sier IKT-konsulent Viggo
  48   Fedreheim."
  49 </blockquote>
  50
  51 <p>Avisen forteller at de har fått tilgang til beregninger som viser
  52 at Narvik kommune har spart noe mellom 10 og 20 millioner kroner de
  53 siste 8 årene på å bruke Skolelinux, og fortsetter:</p>
  54
  55 <blockquote>
  56
  57 "Regnestykket tar høyde for sparte kostnader til lisenser som medfølger
  58 de alternative operativsystemene, lavere driftskostnader og lengre
  59 levetid på datautstyret.  Totalt har Narvikskolen en maskinpark på
  60 1600 maskiner fordelt på de 11 skolene fra Skjomen i sør til Bjerkvik
  61 i nord."
  62
  63 </blockquote>
  64
  65 <p>Viggo Fedreheim sier dette om hvor noe av gevinsten kommer fra:</p>
  66
  67 <blockquote>
  68 "- Vi kan gjenbruke gamle maskiner i skolen som er for dårlig andre
  69   steder i kommunen der de ikke bruker Skolelinux.  Levetiden på en
  70   datamaskin blir 3-5 år lenger med Skolelinux.  Vi kaller det for
  71   grønn IT, miljøvennlig IT."
  72 </blockquote>
  73
  74 <p>Her er det mulighet for flere kommuner å få et godt IT-system på
  75 skolene, hvis de er villige til å forsøke.  De som ikke har kompetanse
  76 innomhus kan kjøpe det fra en av de kommersielle leverandørene av
  77 Skolelinux-tjenester, som <a href="http://www.slxdrift.no/">Skolelinux
  78 Drift AS</a> (der jeg er styremedlem).  Komplett liste er tilgjengelig
  79 via
  80 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Help/ProfessionalHelp">wikien</a>.</p>

 101         <p>In <a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> one can specify
 102 the language used at the top, and the processing pipeline will use
 103 this information to pick the correct translations for 'chapter', 'see
 104 also', 'index' etc.  And for most languages used with docbook, I guess
 105 this work just fine.  For example a German user can start the document
 106 with &lt;book lang="de"&gt;, and the document will show up with the
 107 correct content with any of the docbook processors.  This is not the
 108 case for the language
 109 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Free_Culture_in_Norwegian___5_chapters_done__74_percent_left_to_do.html">I
 110 am working with at the moment</a>, Norwegian Bokmål.</p>
 111
 112 <p>For a while, I was confused about which language code to use,
 113 because I was unable to find any language code that would work across
 114 all tools.  I am currently testing dblatex, xmlto, docbook-xsl, and
 115 dbtoepub, and they do not handle Norwegian Bokmål the same way.  Some
 116 of them do not handle it at all.</p>
 117
 118 <p>A bit of background information is probably needed to understand
 119 this mess.  Norwegian is not one, but two written variants.  The
 120 variants are Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian Bokmål.  There are three
 121 two letter language codes associated with these languages, Norwegian
 122 is 'no', Norwegian Nynorsk is 'nn' and Norwegian Bokmål is 'nb'.
 123 Historically the 'no' language code was used for Norwegian Bokmål, but
 124 many years ago this was found to be å bad idea, and the recommendation
 125 is to use the most specific language code instead, to avoid confusion.
 126 In the transition period it is a good idea to make sure 'no' was an
 127 alias for 'nb'.</p>
 128
 129 <p>Back to docbook processing tools in Debian.  The dblatex tool only
 130 understand 'nn'.  There are translations for 'no', but not 'nb' (BTS
 131 <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/684391">#684391</a>), but due to a bug
 132 (BTS <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682936">#682936</a>) the 'no'
 133 language code is not recognised.  The docbook-xsl tool chain only
 134 recognise 'nn' and 'nb', but not 'no'.  The xmlto tool only recognise
 135 'nn' and 'nb', but not 'no'.  The end result that there is no language
 136 code I can use to get the docbook file working with all of these tools
 137 at the same time. :(</p>
 138
 139 <p>The correct solution is to use &lt;book lang="nb"&gt;, but it will
 140 take time before that will work with all the free software docbook
 141 processors. :(</p>
 142
 143 <p>Oh, the joy of well integrated tools. :/</p>
