+<p>Under helgens utviklersamling i
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.no/">Skolelinux</a> fikk jeg endelig
+satt meg ned sammen med Ronny Aasen i styret for å få et webbasert
+medlemsregister tilbake på plass for foreningen som passer på
+skolelinuxprosjektet. Etter flere års knot og problemer, er nå
+memberdb satt opp og klart til bruk. Import av det gamle
+medlemsregisteret har vist seg vanskelig, så alle medlemmer bes om å
+registrere seg på nytt. Hvis du støtter FRiSKs formål så er du
+hjertelig velkommen til
+<a href="http://medlem.friprogramvareiskolen.no/">å melde deg
+inn</a>. Formålet lyder:</p>
+
+<blockquote>Linux i skolen skal tilrettelegge for og informere om bruk
+av fri programvare, i henhold til Debian Free Software Guidelines av
+2002-02-03, i den norske skolen, slik som f.eks. Linux og
+GNU.</blockquote>

+<p>De færreste er klar over at Skolelinux-prosjektet kom som et resultat
+av en avgjørelse på årsmøtet i
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/">NUUG</a> i 2000-06-29, der Håkon Wium
+Lie, da varamedlem i styret, tok på seg oppdraget om å starte et
+initiativ kalt "Teach the Teacher", som skulle være et initiativ for
+å få fri programvare og unix-lignende operativsystemer inn i Skolen.
+Tanken var at en måtte starte med lærerne for at ungene skulle få
+mulighet til å møte en bedre IT-hverdag. Jeg var tilstede på
+møtet, og hadde sans for ideen, men intet skjedde. På vårparten
+2001 ble det arrangert en demonstrasjon i anledning at First Tuesday
+hadde invitert Microsoft til et møte for å fortelle om fremtidens
+Internet. Dette provoserte endel av oss, og EFN og NUUG tok initiativ
+til å arrangere
+<a href="http://www.digi.no/60982/first-tuesday-mote-med-microsoft-protest">en
+demonstrasjon utenfor lokalene 2001-05-21</a>. Blant de som sto bak
+demonstrasjonen var Vidar Bakke fra NUUG og Håkon W. Lie fra EFN.
+Etter demonstrasjonen arrangerte Håkon en fest hjemme hos seg der alle
+som hadde vært aktive i demonstrasjonsplanlegging og gjennomføringen
+deltok. Før festen var jeg blitt lei av å vente på at Håkon skulle ta
+initiativ til "Teach the Teacher", og for å forsøke å få litt fremgang
+besteme jeg meg for å benytte anledningen hos Håkon til å snakke om
+behovet for å hjelpe skolene i gang med bedre datasystemer bestående
+av fri programvare og unix-lignende operativsystemer. Flere var
+interessert, og Knut Yrvin tenkte på ideen. Han
+<a href="http://developer.skolelinux.no/brev/2001-06-28-invitasjon-skolelinux.txt">ropte
+sammen</a> til et stiftelsesmøte i prosjektet i sin arbeidsgivers
+Objectwares lokaler ved Ullevål stadion 2001-07-02, og jeg ble med.
+Resten er historie. :)</p>

+
+<p>One of the new features in the next Debian/Lenny based release of
+Debian Edu/Skolelinux, which is scheduled for release in the next few
+days, is automatic configuration of the service monitoring system
+Nagios. The previous release had automatic configuration of trend
+analysis using Munin, and this Lenny based release take that a step
+further.</p>
+
+<p>When installing a Debian Edu Main-server, it is automatically
+configured as a Munin and Nagios server. In addition, it is
+configured to be a server for the
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/SiteSummary">SiteSummary
+system</a> I have written for use in Debian Edu. The SiteSummary
+system is inspired by a system used by the University of Oslo where I
+work. In short, the system provide a centralised collector of
+information about the computers on the network, and a client on each
+computer submitting information to this collector. This allow for
+automatic information on which packages are installed on each machine,
+which kernel the machines are using, what kind of configuration the
+packages got etc. This also allow us to automatically generate Munin
+and Nagios configuration.</p>
+
+<p>All computers reporting to the sitesummary collector with the
+munin-node package installed is automatically enabled as a Munin
+client and graphs from the statistics collected from that machine show
+up automatically on http://www/munin/ on the Main-server.</p>
+
+<p>All non-laptop computers reporting to the sitesummary collector are
+automatically monitored for network presence (ping and any network
+services detected). In addition, all computers (also laptops) with
+the nagios-nrpe-server package installed and configured the way
+sitesummary would configure it, are monitored for full disks, software
+raid status, swap free and other checks that need to run locally on
+the machine.</p>
+
+<p>The result is that the administrator on a school using Debian Edu
+based on Lenny will be able to check the health of his installation
+with one look at the Nagios settings, without having to spend any time
+keeping the Nagios configuration up-to-date.</p>
+
+<p>The only configuration one need to do to get Nagios up and running
+is to set the password used to get access via HTTP. The system
+administrator need to run "<tt>htpasswd /etc/nagios3/htpasswd.users
+nagiosadmin</tt>" to create a nagiosadmin user and set a password for
+it to be able to log into the Nagios web pages. After that,
+everything is taken care of.</p>

+
+<p>On Tuesday, the Debian/Lenny based version of
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a> was finally
+shipped. This was a major leap forward for the project, and I am very
+pleased that we finally got the release wrapped up. Work on the first
+point release starts imediately, as we plan to get that one out a
+month after the major release, to include all fixes for bugs we found
+and fixed too late in the release process to include last Tuesday.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps it even is time for some partying?</p>
+
+<p>After this first point release, my plan is to focus again on the
+next major release, based on Squeeze. We will try to get as many of
+the fixes we need into the official Debian packages before the freeze,
+and have just a few weeks or months to make it happen.</p>

+
+<p>6 years ago, as part of the Debian Edu development I am involved
+in, I asked for a hook in the kdm and gdm setup to run scripts as root
+when the user log out. A bug was submitted against the xfree86-common
+package in 2004 (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/230422">#230422</a>),
+and revisited every time Debian Edu was working on a new release.
+Today, this finally paid off.</p>
+
+<p>The framework for this feature was today commited to the git
+repositry for the xorg package, and the git repository for xdm has
+been updated to use this framework. Next on my agenda is to make sure
+kdm and gdm also add code to use this framework.</p>
+
+<p>In Debian Edu, we want to ability to run commands as root when the
+user log out, to get rid of runaway processes and do general cleanup
+after a user. With this framework in place, we finally can do that in
+a generic way that work with all display managers using this
+framework. My goal is to get all display managers in Debian use it,
+similar to how they use the Xsession.d framework today.<p>
