&lt;p&gt;Recently I have spent some time evaluating the multimedia browser
plugins available in Debian Lenny, to see which one we should use by
default in Debian Edu.  We need an embedded video playing plugin with
control buttons to pause or stop the video, and capable of streaming
all the multimedia content available on the web.  The test results and
notes are available on
&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/BrowserMultimedia&quot;&gt;the
Debian wiki&lt;/a&gt;.  I was surprised how few of the plugins are able to
fill this need.  My personal video player favorite, VLC, has a really
bad plugin which fail on a lot of the test pages.  A lot of the MIME
types I would expect to work with any free software player (like
video/ogg), just do not work.  And simple formats like the
audio/x-mplegurl format (m3u playlists), just isn&#39;t supported by the
totem and vlc plugins.  I hope the situation will improve soon.  No
wonder sites use the proprietary Adobe flash to play video.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For Lenny, we seem to end up with the mplayer plugin.  It seem to
be the only one fitting our needs. :/&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As part of the work we do in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt;
to publish video recordings of our monthly presentations, we provide a
page with embedded video for easy access to the recording.  Putting a
good set of HTML tags together to get working embedded video in all
browsers and across all operating systems is not easy.  I hope this
will become easier when the &amp;lt;video&amp;gt; tag is implemented in all
browsers, but I am not sure.  We provide the recordings in several
formats, MPEG1, Ogg Theora, H.264 and Quicktime, and want the
browser/media plugin to pick one it support and use it to play the
recording, using whatever embed mechanism the browser understand.
There is at least four different tags to use for this, the new HTML5
&amp;lt;video&amp;gt; tag, the &amp;lt;object&amp;gt; tag, the &amp;lt;embed&amp;gt; tag and
the &amp;lt;applet&amp;gt; tag.  All of these take a lot of options, and
finding the best options is a major challenge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I just tested the experimental Opera browser available from &lt;a
href=&quot;http://labs.opera.com&quot;&gt;labs.opera.com&lt;/a&gt;, to see how it handled
a &amp;lt;video&amp;gt; tag with a few video sources and no extra attributes.
I was not very impressed.  The browser start by fetching a picture
from the video stream.  Not sure if it is the first frame, but it is
definitely very early in the recording.  So far, so good. Next,
instead of streaming the 76 MiB video file, it start to download all
of it, but do not start to play the video.  This mean I have to wait
for several minutes for the downloading to finish.  When the download
is done, the playing of the video do not start!  Waiting for the
download, but I do not get to see the video?  Some testing later, I
discover that I have to add the controls=&quot;true&quot; attribute to be able
to get a play button to pres to start the video.  Adding
autoplay=&quot;true&quot; did not help.  I sure hope this is a misfeature of the
test version of Opera, and that future implementations of the
&amp;lt;video&amp;gt; tag will stream recordings by default, or at least start
playing when the download is done.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The test page I used (since changed to add more attributes) is
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20090113-foredrag-om-foredrag/&quot;&gt;available
from the nuug site&lt;/a&gt;.  Will have to test it with the new Firefox
too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the test process, I discovered a missing feature.  I was unable
to find a way to get the URL of the playing video out of Opera, so I
am not quite sure it picked the Ogg Theora version of the video.  I
sure hope it was using the announced Ogg Theora support. :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jeg hadde glede av å overvære FADs lansering av
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.deltemeninger.no/&quot;&gt;Debattsentralen
deltemeninger.no&lt;/a&gt; under Go Open 2009, og må si jeg ble skuffet over
en kommentar fra podiet om ulovlig fildeling.  Fikk ikke med meg hvem
som holdt innlegget, men det startet med å snakke om ulovlig fildeling
og gikk så over til å snakke om fildeling som om fildeling i seg er
ulovlig.  Intet er lengre fra sannheten.  Fildeling er en nyttig
teknologi som benyttes av NRK, Debian, Ubuntu, NUUG og andre for
distribusjon av filer.  Det er ingenting med denne fildelingen som
gjør den ulovlig.  Fildeling er i seg selv en fullt ut lovlig
teknologisk anvendelse.  Noe fildeling er ulovlig, og noe er lovlig.
De som tror at fildeling er ulovlig har misforstått grovt.  Hvorvidt
den er ulovlig kommer jo an på hvem som har opphavsretten til filene
som deles og hvilke bruksbegrensninger som gjelder for filene.  En
rekke filer er lagt ut av rettighetsinnehaver for deling på Internet,
og fildeling av slike filer er fullt ut lovlig.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/kul_und/litteratur/article3042382.ece&quot;&gt;Aftenposten
melder&lt;/a&gt; at
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nb.no/aktuelt/50_000_norske_boeker_gratis_tilgjengelig_paa_nett_helt_lovlig&quot;&gt;nasjonalbiblioteket
og Kopinor har gjort en avtale&lt;/a&gt; som gjør at eldre bøker kan gjøres
digitalt tilgjengelig fra nasjonalbiblioteket mot at Kopinor får 56
øre for hver side som legges ut.  Utvalget er litt merkelig: 1790-,
1890- og 1990-tallet.  Jeg synes det er absurd hvis det er slik at
Kopinor skal ha betalt for utlegging av bøker som ikke lenger er
beskyttet av opphavsretten.  Jeg antar her at det er mer enn 90 år
siden forfatterne av bøker som ble publisert 1790-1799 døde, slik at
disse bøkene er falt i det fri og enhver kan kopiere så mye de vil fra
dem uten å bryte opphavsrettsloven.  Bruk av slike verk har ikke
Kopinor noe med å gjøre.  Jeg håper jeg har misforstått.
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nb.no/aktuelt/no_er_vi_i_gang_med_aa_digitalisere_samlingane_vaare_og_formidle_digitalt&quot;&gt;En
melding fra nasjonalbiblioteket i 2007&lt;/a&gt; tyder på at tekster i det
fri ikke trenger avtale med Kopinor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Et annet problem er at bøkene kun legges ut som bildefiler, noe som
vil gjøre at søketjenester ikke vil finne disse bøkene når en søker
etter fragmenter i teksten.  En risikerer dermed at de blir liggende
på en slik måte at folk som bruker Google ikke finner dem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Da skulle jeg heller sett at nasjonalbiblioteket gjorde alvor av
sin aprilspøk, og la ut bøkene som faller i det fri
fortløpende.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>
&lt;p&gt;Just for fun, I did a search right now on Google for a few file ODF
and MS Office based formats (not to be mistaken for ISO or ECMA
OOXML), to get an idea of their relative usage.  I searched using
&#39;filetype:odt&#39; and equvalent terms, and got these results:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;ODF&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;MS Office&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tekst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odt:282000&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;docx:308000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Presentasjon&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odp:75600&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;pptx:183000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Regneark&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ods:26500     &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;xlsx:145000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next, I added a &#39;site:no&#39; limit to get the numbers for Norway, and
got these numbers:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;ODF&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;MS Office&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tekst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odt:2480 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;docx:4460&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Presentasjon&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odp:299   &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;pptx:741&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Regneark&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ods:187       &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;xlsx:372&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wonder how these numbers change over time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am aware of Google returning different results and numbers based
on where the search is done, so I guess these numbers will differ if
they are conduced in another country.  Because of this, I did the same
search from a machine in California, USA, a few minutes after the
search done from a machine here in Norway.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;ODF&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;MS Office&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tekst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odt:129000&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;docx:308000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Presentasjon&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odp:44200&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;pptx:93900&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Regneark&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ods:26500     &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;xlsx:82400&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And with &#39;site:no&#39;:

&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;ODF&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;MS Office&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tekst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odt:2480&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;docx:3410&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Presentasjon&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odp:175&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;pptx:604&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Regneark&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ods:186       &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;xlsx:296&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Interesting difference, not sure what to conclude from these
numbers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last few weeks i have had the pleasure of reading a
thought-provoking collection of essays by Cory Doctorow, on topics
touching copyright, virtual worlds, the future of man when the
conscience mind can be duplicated into a computer and many more. The
book titled &quot;Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity,
Copyright, and the Future of the Future&quot; is available with few
restrictions on the web, for example from
&lt;a href=&quot;http://craphound.com/content/&quot;&gt;his own site&lt;/a&gt;. I read the
epub-version from
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2883&quot;&gt;feedbooks&lt;/a&gt; using
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fbreader.org/&quot;&gt;fbreader&lt;/a&gt; and my N810. I
strongly recommend this book.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks to
&lt;a href=&quot;http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Opengeodata/~3/wUTCzDZk3lc/project-of-the-week-which-way-home&quot;&gt;todays
opengeodata blog entry&lt;/a&gt;, I just discovered that the
OpenStreetmap.org site have gotten
&lt;a href=&quot;http://nroets.dev.openstreetmap.org/demo/index.html?layers=B000FTFTT&quot;&gt;support
for calculating routes&lt;/a&gt;.  The support is still experimental and
only available from the development server, until more experience is
gathered on the user interface and any scalability issues.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Earlier, the routing I knew about using the OpenStreetmap.org data
was provided by &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.cloudmade.com/&quot;&gt;Cloudmade&lt;/a&gt;,
but having it on the main page is required to make everyone aware of
the issue.  I&#39;ve had people reject Openstreetmap.org as a viable
alternative for them because the front page lacked routing support,
and I hope their needs will be catered for when routing show up on the
www.openstreetmap.org front page.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;a href=&quot;http://popcon.debian.org/unknown/by_vote&quot;&gt;Debian
popularity-contest numbers&lt;/a&gt;, the adobe-flashplugin package the
second most popular used package that is missing in Debian.  The sixth
most popular is flashplayer-mozilla.  This is a clear indication that
working flash is important for Debian users.  Around 10 percent of the
users submitting data to popcon.debian.org have this package
installed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the report written by Lars Risan in August 2008
(«&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.skolelinux.no/Dokumentasjon/Rapporter?action=AttachFile&amp;do=view&amp;target=Skolelinux_i_bruk_rapport_1.0.pdf&quot;&gt;Skolelinux
i bruk – Rapport for Hurum kommune, Universitetet i Agder og
stiftelsen SLX Debian Labs&lt;/a&gt;»), one of the most important problems
schools experienced with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian
Edu/Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; was the lack of working Flash.  A lot of educational
web sites require Flash to work, and lacking working Flash support in
the web browser and the problems with installing it was perceived as a
good reason to stay with Windows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I once saw a funny and sad comment in a web forum, where Linux was
said to be the retarded cousin that did not really understand
everything you told him but could work fairly well.  This was a
comment regarding the problems Linux have with proprietary formats and
non-standard web pages, and is sad because it exposes a fairly common
understanding of whose fault it is if web pages that only work in for
example Internet Explorer 6 fail to work on Firefox, and funny because
it explain very well how annoying it is for users when Linux
distributions do not work with the documents they receive or the web
pages they want to visit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is part of the reason why I believe it is important for Debian
and Debian Edu to have a well working Flash implementation in the
distribution, to get at least popular sites as Youtube and Google
Video to working out of the box.  For Squeeze, Debian have the chance
to include the latest version of Gnash that will make this happen, as
the new release 0.8.8 was published a few weeks ago and is resting in
unstable.  The new version work with more sites that version 0.8.7.
The Gnash maintainers have asked for a freeze exception, but the
release team have not had time to reply to it yet.  I hope they agree
with me that Flash is important for the Debian desktop users, and thus
accept the new package into Squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>
&lt;p&gt;A few days ago I had the mixed pleasure of bying a new digital
camera, a Canon IXUS 130.  It was instructive and very disturbing to
be able to verify that also this camera producer have the nerve to
specify how I can or can not use the videos produced with the camera.
Even thought I was aware of the issue, the options with new cameras
are limited and I ended up bying the camera anyway.  What is the
problem, you might ask?  It is software patents, MPEG-4, H.264 and the
MPEG-LA that is the problem, and our right to record our experiences
without asking for permissions that is at risk.

&lt;p&gt;On page 27 of the Danish instruction manual, this section is
written:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This product is licensed under AT&amp;T patents for the MPEG-4 standard
and may be used for encoding MPEG-4 compliant video and/or decoding
MPEG-4 compliant video that was encoded only (1) for a personal and
non-commercial purpose or (2) by a video provider licensed under the
AT&amp;T patents to provide MPEG-4 compliant video.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No license is granted or implied for any other use for MPEG-4
standard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In short, the camera producer have chosen to use technology
(MPEG-4/H.264) that is only provided if I used it for personal and
non-commercial purposes, or ask for permission from the organisations
holding the knowledge monopoly (patent) for technology used.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This issue has been brewing for a while, and I recommend you to
read
&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.osnews.com/story/23236/Why_Our_Civilization_s_Video_Art_and_Culture_is_Threatened_by_the_MPEG-LA&quot;&gt;Why

the issue.  The solution is to support the

open standards&lt;/a&gt; for video, like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theora.org/&quot;&gt;Ogg

                <title>Standardkrav inn i anbudstekster?</title>

&lt;p&gt;Hvis det å følge standarder skal ha noen effekt overfor
leverandører, så må slike krav og ønsker komme inn i anbudstekster når
systemer kjøpes inn.  Har ikke sett noen slike formuleringer i anbud
så langt, men har tenkt litt på hva som bør inn.  Her er noen ideer og
forslag.  Min drøm er at en kan sette krav til slik støtte i
anbudstekster, men så langt er det nok mer sannsynlig at en må nøye
seg med å skrive at det er en fordel om slik støtte er tilstede i
leveranser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Som systemadministrator på Universitetet er det typisk to områder
som er problematiske for meg.  Det ene er admin-grensesnittene på
tjenermaskiner, som vi ønsker å bruke via ssh.  Det andre er nettsider
som vi ønsker å bruke via en nettleser.  For begge deler er det viktig
at protokollene og formatene som brukes følger standarder våre verktøy
støtter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;De fleste har nå støtte for SSH som overføringsprotkoll for
admin-grensesnittet, men det er ikke tilstrekkelig for å kunne stille
inn f.eks BIOS og RAID-kontroller via ssh-forbindelsen.  Det er flere
aktuelle protokoller for fremvisning av BIOS-oppsett og
oppstartmeldinger, og min anbefaling ville være å kreve
VT100-kompatibel protokoll, for å sikre at flest mulig
terminalemulatorer kan forstå hva som kommer fra admin-grensesnittet
via ssh.  Andre aktuelle alternativer er ANSI-terminalemulering og
VT220.  Kanskje en formulering ala dette i anbudsutlysninger vil
fungere:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
BIOS og oppstartmeldinger i administrasjonsgrensesnittet til maskinen
bør/skal være tilgjengelig via SSH-protokollen som definert av IETF
(RFC 4251 mfl.) og følge terminalfremvisningprotokollen VT100 (ref?)
når en kobler seg til oppstart via ssh.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Har ikke lykkes med å finne en god referanse for
VT100-spesifikasjonen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Når det gjelder nettsider, så er det det HTML, CSS og
JavaScript-spesifikasjonen til W3C som gjelder.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
Alle systemets nettider bør/skal være i henhold til statens
standardkatalogs krav om nettsider og følge HTML-standarden som
definert av W3C, og validere uten feil hos W3Cs HTML-validator
(http://validator.w3.org).  Hvis det brukes CSS så bør/skal denne
validere uten feil hos W3Cs CSS-validator
(http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/).  Eventuelle JavaScript skal
være i henhold til EcmaScript-standarden.  I tillegg til å følge de
overnevnte standardene skal websidene fungere i nettleserne (fyll inn
relevant liste for organisasjonen) Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer 8,
Opera 9, etc.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vil et slikt avsnitt være konkret nok til å få leverandørene til å
lage nettsider som følger standardene og fungerer i flere
nettlesere?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tar svært gjerne imot innspill på dette temaet til aktive (at)
nuug.no, og er spesielt interessert i hva andre skriver i sine anbud
for å oppmuntre leverandører til å følge standardene.  Kanskje NUUG
burde lage et dokument med forslag til standardformuleringer å ta med
i anbudsutlysninger?&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Pledge for funding to the Gnash project to get AVM2 support</title>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getgnash.org/&quot;&gt;The Gnash project&lt;/a&gt; is the
most promising solution for a Free Software Flash implementation. It
has done great so far, but there is still far to go, and recently its
funding has dried up.  I believe AVM2 support in Gnash is vital to the
continued progress of the project, as more and more sites show up with
AVM2 flash files.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To try to get funding for developing such support, I have started
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2&quot;&gt;a pledge&lt;/a&gt; with the
following text:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&quot;I will pay 100$ to the Gnash project to develop AVM2 support but
  only if 10 other people will do the same.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;- Petter Reinholdtsen, free software developer&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Deadline to sign up by: 24th December 2010&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The Gnash project need to get support for the new Flash file
  format AVM2 to work with a lot of sites using Flash on the
  web. Gnash already work with a lot of Flash sites using the old AVM1
  format, but more and more sites are using the AVM2 format these
  days. The project web page is available from
  http://www.getgnash.org/ . Gnash is a free software implementation
  of Adobe Flash, allowing those of us that do not accept the terms of
  the Adobe Flash license to get access to Flash sites.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The project need funding to get developers to put aside enough
  time to develop the AVM2 support, and this pledge is my way to try
  to get this to happen.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;The project accept donations via the OpenMediaNow foundation,
  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32&quot;&gt;http://www.openmedianow.org/?q=node/32&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I hope you will support this effort too.  I hope more than 10
people will participate to make this happen.  The more money the
project gets, the more features it can develop using these funds.
:)&lt;/p&gt;
