+ <description><p>Many years ago, the <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux
+/ Debian Edu project</a> initiated a student project to create a tool
+for making stop motion movies. The proposal came from a teacher
+needing such tool on Skolelinux. The project, called "stopmotion",
+was manned by two extraordinary students and won a school award and a
+national aware with this great project. The project was initiated and
+mentored by Herman Robak, and manned by the students Bjørn Erik Nilsen
+and Fredrik Berg Kjølstad. They got in touch with people at Aardman
+Animation studio and received feedback on how professionals would like
+such stopmotion tool to work, and the end result was and is used by
+animators around the globe. But as is usual after studying, both got
+jobs and went elsewhere, and did not have time to properly tend to the
+project, and it has been lingering for a few years now. Until last
+year...</p>
+
+<p>Last year some of the users got together with Herman, and moved the
+project to Sourceforge and in effect restarted the project under a new
+name,
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxstopmotion/">linuxstopmotion</a>.
+The name change was done to make it possible to find the project using
+Internet search engines (try to search for 'stopmotion' to see what I
+mean). I've been following
+<a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxstopmotion-community">the
+mailing list</a> and the improvement already in place and planned for
+the future is encouraging. If you want to make stop motion movies.
+Check it out. :)</p>

- <title>Saving power with Debian Edu / Skolelinux using shutdown-at-night</title>

- <description><p>Since the Lenny version of
-<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a>, a
-feature to save power have been included. It is as simple as it is
-practical: Shut down unused clients at night, and turn them on again
-in the morning. This is done using the
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/shutdown-at-night.html">shutdown-at-night</a> Debian package.</p>
-
-<p>To enable this feature on a client, the machine need to be added to
-the netgroup shutdown-at-night-hosts. For Debian Edu, this is done in
-LDAP, and once this is in place, the machine in question will check
-every hour from 16:00 until 06:00 to see if the machine is unused, and
-shut it down if it is. If the hardware in question is supported by
-the
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvram-wakeup.html">nvram-wakeup</a>
-package, the BIOS is told to turn the machine back on around 07:00 +-
-10 minutes. If this isn't working, one can configure wake-on-lan to
-try to turn on the client. The wake-on-lan option is only documented
-and not enabled by default in Debian Edu.</p>
-
-<p>It is important to not turn all machines on at once, as this can
-blow a fuse if several computers are connected to the same fuse like
-the common setup for a classroom. The nvram-wakeup method only work
-for machines with a functioning hardware/BIOS clock. I've seen old
-machines where the BIOS battery were dead and the hardware clock were
-starting from 0 (or was it 1990?) every boot. If you have one of
-those, you have to turn on the computer manually.</p>
-
-<p>The shutdown-at-night package is completely self contained, and can
-also be used outside the Debian Edu environment. For those without a
-central LDAP server with netgroups, one can instead touch the file
-<tt>/etc/shutdown-at-night/shutdown-at-night</tt> to enable it.
-Perhaps you too can use it to save some power?</p>
