+ <div class="date">
+ 8th April 2012

+ <div class="body">
+ <p>It take all kind of contributions to create a Linux distribution
+like <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a>,
+and this time I lend the ear to Justin B. Rye, who is listed as a big
+contributor to the
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze">Debian
+Edu Squeeze release manual</a>.
+
+<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I'm a 44-year-old linguistics graduate living in Edinburgh who has
+occasionally been employed as a sysadmin.</p>
+
+<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
+project?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I'm neither a developer nor a Skolelinux/Debian Edu user! The only
+reason my name's in the credits for the documentation is that I hang
+around on debian-l10n-english waiting for people to mention things
+they'd like a native English speaker to proofread... So I did a sweep
+through the wiki for typos and Norglish and inconsistent spellings of
+"localisation".</p>
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>These questions are too hard for me - I don't use it! In fact I
+had hardly any contact with I.T. until long after I'd got out of the
+education system.</p>
+
+<p>I can tell you the advantages of Debian for me though: it soaks up
+as much of my free time as I want and no more, and lets me do
+everything I want a computer for without ever forcing me to spend
+money on the latest hardware.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I've been using Debian since Rex; popularity-contest says the
+software that I use most is xinit, xterm, and xulrunner (in other
+words, I use a distinctly retro sort of desktop).</p>
+
+<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Well, I don't know. I suppose I'd be inclined to try reasoning
+with the people who make the decisions, but obviously if that worked
+you would hardly need a strategy.</p>
