+<p>Planen min er å oversette boka på dugnad, sette den opp for
+trykking med en av de mange
+<a href="http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trykk_på_forespørsel">trykk på
+forespørsel</a>-tjenestene, skaffe sponsor til å finansiere trykking
+til stortingsrepresentantene og alle som har bidratt med
+oversettelser. Kanskje vi også kan få en avtale med et forlag om
+publisering når boka er ferdig? Kommentarene til
+<a href="http://newth.net/eirik/2011/04/01/e-selvpublisering/">Eirik
+Newth</a> og
+<a href="http://www.espen.com/norskblogg/archives/2008/09/erfaringer_med_publishing_on_demand.html">Espen
+Andersen</a> om erfaringene med selvpublisering og trykk på
+forespørsel er interessante og ikke avskrekkende, og jeg mistenker at
+<a href="http://www.lulu.com/">Lulu</a> er en grei leverandør av
+trykketjenester til prosjektet.</p>
+
+<p>Jeg har satt opp
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">et
+Github-prosjekt</a> for a lage boken, basert på Docbook-utgaven jeg
+fant fra Hans Schou. Skolelinux har hatt byggesystem for å lage
+oversatt HTML og PDF-utgave av Docbook-bøker i en årrekke, så jeg har
+kopiert og utvidet dette oppsettet. Originalteksten er i Docbook, og
+oversettelsen gjøres i .po-filer med hjelp av vanlige
+oversetterverktøy brukt i fri programvareverden. Dernest tar
+byggesystemet over og lager PDF og EPUB-utgave av den oversatte
+teksten. Resultatet kan ses i Github-prosjektet. For å komme raskt
+igang har jeg brukt maskinoversettelse av alle tekstbitene fra engelsk
+til norsk, noe som grovoversatte ca. 1300 av de ca. 1700 tekstbitene
+boken består av. Jeg håper nå at flere kan bidra med å få
+oversettelsen på plass, slik at teksten kan være klar i løpet av
+høsten. Når alt er oversatt må teksten gjennomgås for feil og
+konsistent språk. Totalt er det nok mange timer som trengs for å
+gjennomføre oversettelsen.</p>
+
+<p>Økonomien i dette er ikke avskrekkende. 169
+stortingsrepresentanter og nesten like mange varamedlemmer bør få
+bøker, og estimert produduksjonskostnad for hver bok er rundt 6 EURO i
+følge et raskt estimat fra Lulu. Jeg vet ennå ikke hvor mange sider
+det blir i størrelsen 5,5" x 8.5" (det er ca. 140 sider i A4-format),
+så jeg gjettet på 400 sider. Jeg tror originalutgaven har nesten 400
+sider. For 169*2 eksemplarer snakker vi om en trykkekostnad på
+ca. 2000 EURO, dvs. ca 15 000 NOK. Det burde være mulig å finne en
+sponsor for å dekke en slik sum. I tillegg kommer distribusjon og
+porto, som antagelig kommer på like mye.</p>
+
+<p>Kan du bidra med oversettelse og docbook-typesetting? Ta kontakt
+og send patcher i github. Jeg legger gjerne inn folk i prosjektet
+slik at du kan oppdatere direkte.</p>

+ <description><p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu /
+Skolelinux</a> project have users all over the globe, but until
+recently we have not known about any users in Norway's neighbour
+country Sweden. This changed when George Bredberg showed up in March
+this year on the mailing list, asking interesting questions about how
+to adjust and scale the just released
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120311.html">Debian Edu
+Wheezy</a> setup to his liking. He granted me an interview, and I am
+happy to share his answers with you here.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I'm a 44 year old country guy that have been working 12 years at
+the same school as 50% IT-manager and 50% Teacher. My educational
+background is fil.kand in history and religious beliefs, an exam as a
+"folkhighschool" teacher, that is, for teaching grownups. In
+Norwegian I believe it's called "Vuxenupplaring". I also have a master
+in "Technology and social change". So I'm not really a tech guy, I
+just like to study how humans and technology interact and that is my
+perspective when working with IT.</p>
+
+<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
+project?</strong></p>
+
+I have followed the Skolelinux project for quite some time by
+now. Earlier I tested out the K12-LTSP project, which we used for some
+time, but I really like the idea of having a distribution aimed to be
+a complete solution for schools with necessary tools integrated. When
+K12-LTSP abandoned that idea some years ago, I started to look more
+seriously into Skolelinux instead.
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+The big point of Skolelinux to me is that it is a complete
+distribution, ready to install. It has LDAP-support, MS Windows
+integration tools and so forth already configured, saving an
+administrator a lot of time and headache. We were using another Linux
+based thin-client system called Thinlinc, that has served us very
+well. But that Skolelinux is based on VNC and LTSP, to me, is better
+when it comes to the kind of multimedia used in schools. That is
+showing videos from Youtube or educational TV. It is also easier to
+mix thin clients with workstations, since the user settings will be the
+same. In our VNC-based solution you had to "beat around the bush" by
+setting up a second, hidden, home-directory for user settings for the
+workstations, because they will be different from the ones used on the
+thin clients. Skolelinux support for diskless workstations are very
+convenient since a school today often need to use a class room
+projector showing videos in full screen. That is easily done with a
+small integrated media computer running as a diskless workstation. You
+have only two installs to update and configure. One for the thin
+clients and one for the workstations. Also saving a lot of time. Our
+old system was also based on Redhat and CentOS. They are both very
+nice distributions, but they are sometimes painfully slow when it
+comes to updating multimedia support and multimedia programs (even
+such as Gimp), leaving us with a bit "oldish" applications. Debian is
+quicker to update.
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Debian is a bit too quick when it comes to updating. As an example
+we use old HP terminals as thinclients, and two times already this
+year (2012) the updates you get from the repositories has stopped
+sound from working with them. It's a kernel/ALSA issue. So you have
+to be more careful properly testing the updates before you run them in
+a production environment. This has never happened with CentOS.</p>
+
+<p>I also would like to be able to set my own domain-settings at
+install time. In Skolelinux they are kind of hard coded into the
+distribution, when it comes to LDAP and at least samba integration.
+That is more a cosmetic/translation issue, and not a real problem.
+Running MS Windows applications within the Skolelinux environment needs
+to be better supported. That is, running them seamlessly via RDP, and
+support for single-sign on. That will make the transition to free
+software easier, because you can keep the applications you really
+need. No support will make it impossible if you work in a school where
+some applications can't be open source. As for us we really need to
+run Adobe InDesign in our journalist classes. We run a journalist
+education, and is one of the very few non university ones that is ok:d
+by Svenska journalistförbundet (Swedish journalist association). Our
+education gives the pupils the right of membership there, once they
+are done. This is important if you want to get a job.</p>
+
+<p>Adobe InDesign is the program most commonly used in newspapers and
+magazines. We used Quark Express before, but they seem to loose there
+market to Adobe. The only "equivalent" to InDesign in the opensource
+world is Scribus, and its not advanced enough. At least not according
+to the teacher. I think it would be possible to use it, because they
+are not supposed to learn a program, they are supposed to learn how to
+edit and compile a newspaper. But politically at our school we are not
+there yet. And Scribus lacks a lot of things you find i InDesign.</p>
