-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Det er gledelig å se at store norske redaksjoner nå omtaler lovlig
-virksomhet som piratkopiering, og slik bidrar til å ufarliggjøre
-uttrykket.  Det kan bidra til at de som omtaler kundene sine som
-pirater og presser penger ut av dem får mindre støtte i befolkningen.

+                <pubDate>Wed, 3 Oct 2012 10:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I just read the blog post from Tim Retout
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://retout.co.uk/blog/2012/10/02/the-library-challenge&quot;&gt;about
+the computer science book collection available in his local
+library&lt;/a&gt;, and just wanted to share my comment on his theory about
+computer books becoming obsolete so soon.  That is part of the reason
+why the selection is so sad in almost any local library (it is in mine
+too), but I believe the major contributing factor is that the people
+buying books to the library have no way to know a good and future
+computer classic from trash.  And they need to know which one will
+become a classic in the future, as they would normally buy one of the
+recently published books.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;During my university years, I worked for a while at the university
+library, and even there the person in charge of buying computer
+related books (and in fact any natural science related book), did not
+know enough about computers to make a good educated guess.  Once, just
+before Christmas, they had some leftover money on the book budget and
+I was asked if I could pick out a lot of computer books in the
+university book store, for the library to buy for their collection.  I
+had a great time picking all the books I dreamt of buying and reading,
+and the books I knew were classics (like most of the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Richard_Stevens&quot;&gt;Stevens
+collection&lt;/a&gt;).  I picked several of the generic O&#39;Reilly books (ie
+documenting protocols, formats and systems, not specific versions of
+products) and stayed away from the &#39;teach yourself X in N days&#39; class.
+I had a great time, and probably picked out more than a hundred books
+for the library that evening.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The sad fact is that there is no way a overworked librarian is
+going to know that for example
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Practice_of_Programming&quot;&gt;The
+Practice of Programming&lt;/a&gt; is a must-have in any computer library,
+and they will most of the time end up picking the wrong books to buy.
+Perhaps you can help your local library make better choices by giving
+the suggestions for books to get?  I know they would love to hear from
+you, even if their budget might block them from getting your favourite
+book right away.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Trengs det avtale med MPEG-LA for å ha lovlig rett til å
-distribuere og kringkaste video i MPEG4 eller med videokodingen H.264?
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://webmink.com/essays/h-264/&quot;&gt;H.264 og MPEG4 er jo ikke en
-fri og åpen standard&lt;/a&gt; i henhold til
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fri_og__pen_standard__slik_Digistan_ser_det.html&quot;&gt;definisjonen
-til Digistan&lt;/a&gt;, så i enkelte land er det ingen tvil om at du må ha
-en slik avtale, men jeg må innrømme at jeg ikke vet om det også
-gjelder Norge.  Det ser uansett ut til å være en juridisk interessant
-problemstilling.  Men jeg tenkte her om dagen som så, at hvis det er
-nødvendig, så har store aktører som
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nrk.no/&quot;&gt;NRK&lt;/a&gt; og
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.regjeringen.no/&quot;&gt;regjeringen&lt;/a&gt; skaffet seg en
-slik avtale.  Jeg har derfor sendt forespørsel til begge (for
-regjeringen sin del er det Departementenes Servicesenter som gjør
-jobben), og bedt om kopi av eventuelle avtaler de har om bruk av MPEG
-og/eller H.264 med MPEG-LA eller andre aktører som opererer på vegne
-av MPEG-LA.  Her er kopi av eposten jeg har sendt til
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dss.dep.no/&quot;&gt;Departementenes Servicesenter&lt;/a&gt;.
-Forespørselen til NRK er veldig lik.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I helga fikk jeg endelig pakket sammen en ny versjon av den norske
+stavekontrollen, og gikk ut versjon 2.1 etter at det var gått fire og
+et halvt år siden sist.  I dag fikk vi sendt ut annonseringen.  Her er
+det vi sendte ut:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Oslo, 2012-10-02&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pressemelding: Ny utgave av norsk stavekontroll med
+synonymordliste&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mer enn fire år etter at forrige utgave av den frie norske
+stavekontrollen ble utgitt, er en ny og forbedret versjon klar. Dette er
+noe utviklerne er veldig glade for.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Den største endringen er at byggesystemet for stavekontrollen er
+skrevet om til å akseptere ord med bindestrek (f.eks. «e-post»). Litt
+over 10.000 slike ordformer er lagt til i orddatabasen. I tillegg er
+det kommet en del nye ord og rettelser rapportert inn av de frivillige
+som gjennomfører korrektur av orddatabasen i prosjektet. For å få
+fortgang i dette korrekturarbeidet er det fint med flere frivillige
+som kan bidra i prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;

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

+ - En god og fritt tilgjengelig stavekontroll er en viktig byggestein
+   for å fremme bruken av korrekt norsk språk, sier prosjektdeltager
+   Petter Reinholdtsen.

-&lt;br&gt;From: Petter Reinholdtsen
-&lt;br&gt;To: postmottak@dss.dep.no
-&lt;br&gt;Subject: Innsynsbegjæring om MPEG/H.264-relaterte avtaler
- 
-&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Jeg ber herved om innsyn og kopi av dokumenter i DSS relatert
-til avtaler rundt bruk av videoformatene MPEG og H.264.  Jeg er
-spesielt interessert i å vite om DSS har lisensavtale med MPEG-LA
-eller noen som representerer MPEG-LA i Norge.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;MPEG og H.264 er videoformater som brukes både til kringkasting
-(f.eks. i bakkenett og kabel-TV) og videopublisering på web, deriblant
-via Adobe Flash.  MPEG-LA, &amp;lt;URL:
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mpeg-la.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.mpeg-la.com/&lt;/a&gt; &amp;gt;, er
-en organisasjon som har fått oppgaven, av de kjente rettighetshavere
-av immaterielle rettigheter knyttet til MPEG og H.264, å selge
-bruksrett for MPEG og H.264.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Via regjeringen.no kringkastes med MPEG og H.264-baserte
-videoformater, og dette ser ut til å være organisert av DSS.  Jeg
-antar dermed at DSS har avtale med en eller annen aktør om dette.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;F.eks. har Adobe Premiere Pro har følgende klausul i følge &amp;lt;URL:
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20000101-264.html&quot;&gt;http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20000101-264.html&lt;/a&gt;
-&amp;gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Takket være samarbeidet med synonymordlisteprosjektet er
+synonymordlista for bokmål tilgjengelig sammen med ordlista for bokmål
+og nynorsk. En synonymordliste for nynorsk er også med, men den er på
+prøvestadiet og meget liten.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Stavekontrollpakken og synonymordlistene brukes i
+LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org, Koffice, Mozilla Thunderbird, Firefox og
+en rekke andre programmer, og på både Windows, Mac OS X, Linux og
+BSD.&lt;/p&gt;

+fra prosjektsidene på
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://no.speling.org&quot;&gt;no.speling.org&lt;/a&gt;. Ferdige pakker for
+LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org er også tilgjengelige fra samme sted.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Det norske stavekontrollprosjektet er i kontakt med lignende
+prosjekter for blant annet å forbedre stavekontrollteknologien, å
+utveksle verktøy for vedlikehold av orddatabasen og å få tilgang til
+relevante datasett. Et av disse prosjektene er et separat prosjekt ved
+Sametinget som er i gang med å utvikle samisk stavekontroll for blant
+annet Microsoft Word og OpenOffice.org.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Her er det kun &quot;non-commercial&quot; og &quot;personal and non-commercial&quot;
-aktivitet som er tillatt uten ekstra avtale med MPEG-LA.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Et søsterprosjekt for å lage grammatikk-kontroll for
+LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org er igangsatt, men har ennå ikke kommet
+langt nok til å brukes. Frivillige til å bidra i dette prosjektet er
+også svært velkomne.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Et annet tilsvarende eksempel er Apple Final Cut Pro, som har
-følgende klausul i følge &amp;lt;URL:
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/finalcutstudio2.pdf&quot;&gt;http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/finalcutstudio2.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
-&amp;gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kontaktperson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

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

-
-  &lt;p&gt;15. Merknad om H.264/AVC. Hvis Apple-programvaren inneholder
-  funksjonalitet for AVC-koding og/eller AVC-dekoding, krever
-  kommersiell bruk ekstra lisensiering og følgende gjelder:

-  FORBRUKERE OG KUN FOR PERSONLIG OG IKKE- KOMMERSIELL BRUK TIL (i)

-  OG/ELLER (ii) DEKODING AV AVC-VIDEO SOM ER KODET AV EN FORBRUKER TIL
-  PERSONLIG OG IKKE-KOMMERSIELL BRUK OG/ELLER DEKODING AV AVC-VIDEO
-  FRA EN VIDEOLEVERANDØR SOM HAR LISENS TIL Å TILBY
-  AVC-VIDEO. INFORMASJON OM ANNEN BRUK OG LISENSIERING KAN INNHENTES
-  FRA MPEG LA L.L.C. SE HTTP://WWW.MPEGLA.COM.&lt;/p&gt;
+Axel Bojer, prosjektdeltager
+&lt;br&gt;E-post: fri_programvare (at) bojer.no
+&lt;br&gt;Tlf: +47 954 32 417

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

-  
-&lt;p&gt;Tilsvarende gjelder for andre programvarepakker, kamera, etc som
-bruker MPEG og H.264, at en må ha en avtale med MPEG-LA for å ha lov
-til å bruke programmet/utstyret hvis en skal lage noe annet enn
-private filmer og i ikke-kommersiell virksomhet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg er altså interessert i kopi av avtaler DSS har som gjør at en
-ikke er begrenset av de generelle bruksvilkårene som gjelder for
-utstyr som bruker MPEG og/eller H.264.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Nå venter jeg spent på svaret.  Jeg planlegger å blogge om svaret
-her.&lt;/p&gt;

-                <pubDate>Tue, 19 Jun 2012 10:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Aftenposten melder i dag at selgerne av
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.erlikoslo.no/&quot;&gt;gatemagasinet =Oslo&lt;/a&gt; er
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/Oslo-selgerne-irritert-pa-nytt-gatemagasin-6850970.html&quot;&gt;irritert
-på at det er kommet en konkurrent på banen&lt;/a&gt; fra organisasjonen
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://oslo.folkerfolk.no/&quot;&gt;Folk er Folk&lt;/a&gt;,
-som støtter “rumenerne”, de mest uglesette av tiggerne i Norge.  Min
-første tanke da jeg leste nyheten er at slik må =Oslo-selgerne tåle
-når de nekter &quot;rumenerne&quot; og andre utenlandske tiggere å selge
-gatemagasinet sitt.  Det ble rapportert for noen år siden at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/Ikke-rom-i-herberget-6677803.html&quot;&gt;utenlandske
-tiggere ikke var velkomne som selgere&lt;/a&gt;, og å opprette en konkurrent
-virker da for meg som et rasjonelt alternativ.  Og at &quot;rumerene&quot;
-utelukkes gjelder visst ikke bare i Oslo.  I Adresseavisen fant jeg en
-artikkel om at selgerne av
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gatemagasinetsorgenfri.no/&quot;&gt;gateavisen
-Sorgenfri&lt;/a&gt; i Trondheim også
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adressa.no/nyheter/trondheim/article1122005.ece?index=20&quot;&gt;utelukker
-utenlandske selgere&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Men situasjonen er visst ikke så rett frem som opprinnelige
-artikler kunne tyde på.  Mens jeg søkte opp gamle artikler og
-referanser om temaet, fant jeg et
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2008/07/29/542041.html&quot;&gt;leserbrev
-fra en av stifterne av =Oslo&lt;/a&gt;, som protesterte på
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/2008/07/23/541530.html&quot;&gt;påstander
-fra likestillingsombudet om diskriminering&lt;/a&gt; og forteller at =Oslo
-krever at de som selger magasinet skal kunne kommunisere med kundene
-for å kunne representere magasinet utad, og at &quot;rumererne&quot; ikke
-ekskluderes for å være utlendinger men pga. at de ikke kan snakke
-norsk.  Det er jo ikke urimelig å kreve at en selger skal kunne
-kommunisere med kundene, men som kjøper har jeg ikke snakket så mye
-med =Oslo-selgerne at det ville vært et problem for meg om selgeren
-ikke kunne snakke norsk.  Jeg er dermed i tvil om hvorvidt
-argumentasjonen holder når effekten er at de mest uglesette tiggerne i
-Norge ekskluderes.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Uansett tror jeg ikke markedet for gatemagasiner i Oslo er mettet.
-Personlig kunne jeg godt tenkte meg å kjøpe flere, men gidder ikke
-kjøpe den samme utgaven av =Oslo flere ganger.  En konkurrent som Folk
-er Folk kan dermed ende opp med å gjøre markedet større i stedet for å
-spise av markedsandelene til =Oslo.&lt;/p&gt;

-på det har jeg som et &lt;a href=&quot;htt://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG-prosjekt&lt;/a&gt;
-laget en &lt;a href=&quot;http://scraperwiki.com/&quot;&gt;Scraperwiki&lt;/a&gt;-skraper som

-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu___some_ideas_for_the_future_versions.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Mon, 11 Jun 2012 14:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;During my work on
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120311.nb.html&quot;&gt;Debian Edu
-based on Squeeze&lt;/a&gt;, I came across some issues that should be
-addressed in the Wheezy release.  I finally found time to wrap up my
-notes and provide quick summary of what I found, with a bit
-explanation.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;We need to rewrite our package installation framework, as tasksel
-changed from using tasksel tasks to using meta packages (aka packages
-with dependencies like our education-* packages), and our installation
-system depend on tasksel tasks in
-/usr/share/tasksel/debian-edu-tasks.desc for package
-installation.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Enable Kerberos login for more services.  Now with the Kerberos
-foundation in place, we should use it to get single sign on with more
-services, and avoiding unneeded password / login questions.  We should
-at least try to enable it for these services:
-&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Release 2.1 (2012-09-30)&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-  &lt;li&gt;CUPS for admins to add/configure printers and users when using
-    quotas.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Nagios for admins checking the system status.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;GOsa for admins updating LDAP and users changing their passwords.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;LDAP for admins updating LDAP.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;Squid for users when exam mode / filtering is active.&lt;/li&gt;
-  &lt;li&gt;ssh for admins and users to save a password prompt.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;When we move GOsa to use Kerberos instead of LDAP bind to
-authenticate users, we should try to block or at least limit access to
-use LDAP bind for authentication, to ensure Kerberos is used when it
-is intended, and nothing fall back to using the less safe LDAP bind&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Merge debian-edu-config and debian-edu-install.  The split made
-sense when d-e-install did a lot more, but these days it is just an
-inconvenience when we update the debconf preseeding values.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Fix partman-auto to allow us to abort the installation before
-touching the disk if the disk is too small.  This is
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/653305&quot;&gt;BTS report #653305&lt;/a&gt; and the
-d-i developers are fine with the patch and someone just need to apply
-it and upload.  After this is done we need to adjust
-debian-edu-install to use this new hook.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Adjust to new LTSP framework (boot time config instead of install
-time config).  LTSP changed its design, and our hooks to install
-packages and update the configuration is most likely not going to work
-in Wheezy.
-
-&lt;li&gt;Consider switching to NBD instead of NFS for LTSP root, to allow
-the Kernel to cache files in its normal file cache, possibly speeding
-up KDE login on slow networks.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Make it possible to create expired user passwords that need to
-change on first login.  This is useful when handing out password on
-paper, to make sure only the user know the password.  This require
-fixes to the PAM handling of kdm and gdm.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Make GUI for adding new machines automatically from sitesummary.
-The current command line script is not very friendly to people most
-familiar with GUIs.  This should probably be integrated into GOsa to
-have it available where the admin will be looking for it..&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;We should find way for Nagios to check that the DHCP service
-actually is working (as in handling out IP addresses).  None of the
-Nagios checks I have found so far have been working for me.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;We should switch from libpam-nss-ldapd to sssd for all profiles
-using LDAP, and not only on for roaming workstations, to have less
-packages to configure and consistent setup across all profiles.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;We should configure Kerberos to update LDAP and Samba password
-when changing password using the Kerberos protocol.  The hook was
-requested in &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/588968&quot;&gt;BTS report
-#588968&lt;/a&gt; and is now available in Wheezy.  We might need to write a
-MIT Kerberos plugin in C to get this.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;We should clean up the set of applications installed by default.

 &lt;ul&gt;
 
 &lt;ul&gt;
 

-&lt;li&gt;reduce the number of chemistry visualisers&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;consider dropping xpaint&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;li&gt;and probably more?&lt;/li&gt;
-&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Some hardware need external firmware to work properly.  This is
-mostly the case for WiFi network cards, but there are some other
-examples too.  For popular laptops to work out of the box, such
-firmware need to be installed from non-free, and we should provide
-some GUI to do this.  Ubuntu already have this implemented, and we
-could consider using their packages.  At the moment we have some
-command line script to do this (one for the running system, another
-for the LTSP chroot).&lt;/li&gt;
-
-
-&lt;li&gt;In Squeeze, we provide KDE, Gnome and LXDE as desktop options.  We
-should extend the list to Xfce and Sugar, and preferably find a way to
-install several and allow the admin or the user to select which one to
-use.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;The golearn tool from the goplay package make it easy to check out
-interesting educational packages.  We should work on the package
-tagging in Debian to ensure it represent all the useful educational
-packages, and extend the tool to allow it to use packagekit to install
-new applications with a simple mouse click.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;The Squeeze version got half a exam solution already in place,
-with the introduction of iptable based network blocking, but for it to
-be a complete exam solution the Squid proxy need to enable
-filtering/blocking as well when the exam mode is enabled.  We should
-implement a way to easily enable this for the schools that want it,
-instead of the &quot;it is documented&quot; method of today.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;A feature used in several schools is the ability for a teacher to
-&quot;take over&quot; the desktop of individual or all computers in the room.
-There are at least three implementations,
-&lt;a href=&quot;italc.sourceforge.net/&quot;&gt;italc&lt;/a&gt;,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.itais.net/help/en/&quot;&gt;controlaula&lt;/a&gt; og
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epoptes.org/&quot;&gt;epoptes&lt;/a&gt; and we should pick one of
-them and make it trivial to set it up in a school.  The challenges is
-how to distribute crypto keys and how to group computers in one room
-and how to set up which machine/user can control the machines in a
-given room.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Tablets and surf boards are getting more and more popular, and we
-should look into providing a good solution for integrating these into
-the Debian Edu network.  Not quite sure how.  Perhaps we should
-provide a installation profile with better touch screen support for
-them, or add some sync services to allow them to exchange
-configuration and data with the central server.  This should be
-investigated.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I guess we will discover more as we continue to work on the Wheezy
-version.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Switch to new version scheme. Make new version 2.1, not 2.0.11. We do not
+    release often enough to justify three digits.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Switch build rules to build OOo v2 thesaurus files, as the v1 build rules
+    no longer work. This require the libmythes-dev package on Debian.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Introduce new Makefile variables hyphendir and thesdir to make it easier to
+    control where to install these.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Change script used to import from no.speling.org, to load new word
+    boundaries if at least two people believed the boundaries was correct.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Added word boundaries for several words (around 500 words) using the
+    updated script.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Imported thesarus for bokmål from synonymer.merg.net.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Rewrote build rules to use = instead of - as combined word marker, thus
+    allowing words like e-post.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Imported a lot (around 10k words) of new words with dash (-) in them from
+    no.speling.org now that it is handled by the build system.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;De siste månedene har jeg sammen med andre i NUUG jobbet med å
-gjøre det enklere å få innsyn i offentlige dokumenter, og dette
-inkluderer å gjøre postjournaler enklere tilgjengelig for maskinell
-analyse og søk.  I den forbindelse tok jeg i dag å tittet litt på
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.oep.no/&quot;&gt;Offentlig Elektronisk Postjournal
-(OEP)&lt;/a&gt;, FAD/DIFIs fellesløsning for departementer og statlige
-etater.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Her er antall oppføringer pr. måned det siste året,
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/sqlite?format=htmltable&amp;name=postliste-oep&amp;query=select%20strftime(%22%25Y-%25m%22%2C%20%60recordpublishdate%60)%20as%20oeppubmonth%2C%20count(*)%20from%20%60swdata%60%20group%20by%20oeppubmonth%20order%20by%20oeppubmonth&quot;&gt;summert

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Måned&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Antall&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2011-10&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;170665&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;Det er også interessant å se hvor ofte ulike etater sender inn sine

-
-&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;En kan beregne lignende frekvenser ved å sammenligne
-journalføringsdato med publiseringsdato for hver enkelt oppføring i
-OEP, men den lenken legger jeg ikke ved her for å unngå at
-søkemotorroboter begynner å overbelaste Scraperwiki-databasen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg har spurt Norges geologiske undersøkelse om hvorfor de leverer
-så sjelden, og det kommer av at de har problemer etter oppgradering av
-arkivsystemet sitt og jobber med å fikse det slik at de kan gå tilbake
-til å levere hver uke.  Har ikke undersøkt noen av de andre.&lt;/p&gt;

-recognition on the TV image itself.  It could let the viewer know who
-is present on the screen, and perhaps look up their credibility,
-company affiliation, previous appearances etc for the viewer to better
-evaluate what is being said and done.  That would be a feature I would
-be willing to pay for.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I would not be willing to pay for a TV that point a camera on my
-household, like the big brother feature apparently proposed by Intel.
-It is the telescreen idea fetched straight out of the book

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg har sterk tro på vitenskap, som er et annet navn på
+etterprøvbar kunnskap, som metode for å sikre et velfungerende
+samfunn.  Eller som en fantastisk reklamekampanje i England formulerte
+det, &lt;a href=&quot;http://old.richarddawkins.net/articles/3567&quot;&gt;vitenskap
+flyr deg til månen, religion flyr deg inn i bygninger&lt;/a&gt;.  Men den
+vitenskapelige metode trenger folk med kunnskap, evne og vilje til å
+gjøre sitt beste, og settes under press av et samfunn som ikke akkurat
+belønner slike egenskaper.  Her er noen skremmende og oppmuntrende

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/SOAP_based_webservice_from_Dell_to_check_server_support_status.html&quot;&gt;I
-reported how to get&lt;/a&gt; the support status out of Dell using an
-unofficial and undocumented SOAP API, which I since have found out was
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2012-February/045959.html&quot;&gt;discovered
-by Daniel De Marco in february&lt;/a&gt;.  Combined with my web scraping
-code for HP, Dell and IBM
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Checking_server_hardware_support_status_for_Dell__HP_and_IBM_servers.html&quot;&gt;from
-2009&lt;/a&gt;, I got inspired and wrote
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://views.scraperwiki.com/run/computer-hardware-support-status/&quot;&gt;a
-web service&lt;/a&gt; based on Scraperwiki to make it easy to look up the
-support status and get a machine readable result back.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;This is what it look like at the moment when asking for the JSON
-output:
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;

-%
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;It currently support Dell and HP, and I am hoping for help to add
-support for other vendors.  The python source is available on

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Since this summer, I have worked in my spare time on a Norwegian &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig.
+The reason is that this book is a great primer on what problems exist
+in the current copyright laws, and I want it to be available also for
+those that are reluctant do read an English book.
+
+When I started, I 
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;called
+for volunteers&lt;/a&gt; to help me, but too few have volunteered so far,
+and progress is a bit slow.  Anyway, today I broken the 70 percent
+mark for the first rough translation.  At the moment, less than 700
+strings (paragraphs, index terms, titles) are left to translate.  With
+my current progress of 10-20 strings per day, it will take a while to
+complete the translation.  This graph show the updated progress:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Progress have slowed down lately due to family and work
+commitments.  If you want to help, please get in touch, and check out
+the project files currently available from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
+the updated
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg oppdaget nylig en
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adressa.no/nyheter/trondheim/article1831198.ece&quot;&gt;artikkel
-i Adresseavisa&lt;/a&gt; i Trondheim som nevner FiksGataMi, og der Trondheim
-kommune ser ut til å fortelle at de ikke følger forvaltningslovens
-krav ved mottak av meldinger sendt inn via FiksGataMi.  La derfor
-nettopp inn denne kommentaren til artikkelen:&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Her er en liten faktaoppdatering om FiksGataMi-tjenesten, da noen
-ser ut til å ha misforstått hvordan den fungerer.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;FiksGataMi er et privat initiativ opprettet og drevet av
-medlemsforeningen NUUG.  FiksGataMi tar imot meldinger om feil i
-offentlig infrastruktur, og sender meldingen skriftlig videre på vegne
-av innmelder til aktuell aktør i det offentlige, det være seg kommune,
-fylke eller vegvesenregion.  Offentlig etat blir valgt ut fra
-geografisk plassering og kategori valgt av innsender.  Offentlige
-etater er i følge forvaltningsloven pliktig å følge opp og besvare
-skriftlige henvendelser, og hvis noen av mottakerne ikke gjør dette
-kan en klage på lovbrudd i det offentlige.  FiksGataMi fungerer dermed
-som en slags epostklient for innbyggerne der kopi av innsendte
-meldinger gjøres tilgjengelig og knyttes til kartplassering for enkel
-gjenfinning.  Å sende inn nye problemrapporter via FiksGataMi er
-dermed ikke avhengig av at kommunen aktivt må følge med på meldinger
-hos FiksGataMi, da de får dem tilsendt på sine offisielle
-epostmottakspunkter.  Hvorvidt noe blir fikset og om innbyggerne er
-opp til mottaker av meldingene.  For Trondheim kommune er
-mottaksadressen bydrift.vegdrift@trondheim.kommune.no, en adresse jeg
-inntil jeg leste denne artikkelen trodde ble håndtert i henhold til
-forvaltningslovens krav.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Kan ellers fortelle at 57 kommuner lenker til FiksGataMi fra sine
-nettsider, og at 37 % (4182 av 11266 ) av problemrapportene sendt inn
-via FiksGataMi er markert som løst i løsningen.  Trondheim kommune har
-fått tilbud om å få rapportene levert på datamaskinlesbart format i
-stedet for epost, men har ikke takket ja så langt.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Vennlig hilsen Petter Reinholdtsen, en av NUUG-folkene bak FiksGataMi.no&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det høres for meg ut som om innbyggerne i Trondheim burde klage på
-kommunens potensielle lovbrudd.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeg ble for noen dager siden tipset om en rapport utarbeidet av
+Cabinet Office i England ved navn
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/resource-library/test-learn-adapt-developing-public-policy-randomised-controlled-trials&quot;&gt;Test,
+Learn, Adapt: Developing Public Policy with Randomised Controlled
+Trials&lt;/a&gt;, skrevet av blant annet Ben Goldacre (som jeg først ble
+klar over da han holdt et veldig interessant TED-foredrag med tittel
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://archive.org/details/BenGoldacre_2011G&quot;&gt;Battling bad
+science&lt;/a&gt;).  Rapporten handler om hvordan det offentlige burde bruke
+vitenskaplige metoder i større grad for å finne ut hvilke virkemidler
+som er mest effektive når en skal regulere samfunnet.  Her er et sitat
+fra starten av rapporten:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are the best way to determine
+  wheather a policy is working.  They are now used extensively in
+  international development, medicine, and business to identify which
+  policy, drug or sales method is most effective.  They are also at
+  the heart of the Behavioural Insights Team&#39;s methodology.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;However, RCTs are not rutinely used to test the effectiveness of
+  public policy interventions in the UK.  We think they should be.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Her tror jeg også Norge har noe å lære.  Det offentlige bruker mye
+penger på aktiviteter der det ikke er åpenbart (og heller ikke blir
+målt) at den reelle effekten er det en ønsker å oppnå.  Ruters
+elektroniske billettsystem, NAV-reformen, økt bruk av penger på
+politiet og sykehussammenslåinger kommer meg i hug.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who are you, and how do you spend your days?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;My name is Mike Gabriel, I am 38 years old and live near Kiel,
-Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. I live together with a wonderful partner
-(Angela Fuß) and two own children and two bonus children (contributed
-by Angela).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;During the day I am part-time employed as a system administrator
-and part-time working as an IT consultant. The consultancy work
-touches free software topics wherever and whenever possible. During
-the nights I am a free software developer. In the gaps I also train in
-becoming an osteopath.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Starting in 2010 we (Andreas Buchholz, Angela Fuß, Mike Gabriel)
-have set up a free software project in the area of Kiel that aims at
-introducing free software into schools. The project&#39;s name is
-&quot;IT-Zukunft Schule&quot; (IT future for schools). The project links IT
-skills with communication skills.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I have a PhD in chemistry but since several years I work as teacher
+in secondary (15-18 year old students) and tertiary (a kind of &quot;light&quot;
+university) schools. Five years ago I started to manage a Learning
+Management Service server and slowly I got more and more involved with
+IT. 3 years ago the graduating schools moved completely to Linux and I
+got the head of the IT for this. The experience collected in chemistry
+labs computers (for example NMR analysis of protein folding) and in
+the IT-courses during university where sufficient to start. Self
+training is anyway very important&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I live in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland, and the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spse.ch/&quot;&gt;SPSE school&lt;/a&gt; (secondary) is a very
+special sport school for young people who try to became sport pro (for
+all sports, we have dozens of disciplines represented) and we are
+recognised by the Olympic Swiss Organisation.

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
 project?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;While preparing our own customised Linux distribution for
-&quot;IT-Zukunft Schule&quot; we were repeatedly asked if we really wanted to
-reinvent the wheel. What schools really need is already available,
-people said.  From this impulse we started evaluating other Linux
-distributions that target being used for school networks.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;At the end we short-listed two approaches and compared them: a
-commercial Linux distribution developed by a company in Bremen,
-Germany, and Skolelinux / Debian Edu. Between 12/2010 and 03/2011 we
-went to several events and met people being responsible for marketing
-and development of either of the distributions. Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu was by far much more convincing compared to the other product that
-got short-listed beforehand--across the full spectrum. What was most
-attractive for me personally: the perspective of collaboration within
-the developmental branch of the Debian Edu project itself.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In parallel with this, we talked to many local and not-so-local
-people.  People teaching at schools, headmasters, politicians, data
-protection experts, other IT professionals.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;We came to two conclusions:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;First, a technical conclusion: What schools need is available in
-bits and pieces here and there, and none of the solutions really fit
-by 100%. Any school we have seen has a very individual IT setup
-whereas most of each school&#39;s requirements could mapped by a standard
-IT solution.  The requirement to this IT solution is flexibility and
-customisability, so that individual adaptations here and there are
-possible.  In terms of re-distributing and rolling out such a
-standardised IT system for schools (a system that is still to some
-degree customisable) there is still a lot of work to do here
-locally. Debian Edu / Skolelinux has been our choice as the starting
-point.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Second, a holistic conclusion: What schools need does not exist at
-all (or we missed it so far). There are several technical solutions
-for handling IT at schools that tend to make a good impression. What
-has been missing completely here in Germany, though, is the enrolment
-of people into using IT and teaching with IT. &quot;IT-Zukunft Schule&quot;
-tries to provide an approach for this.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Only some schools have some sort of a media concept which explains,
-defines and gives guidance on how to use IT in class. Most schools in
-Northern Germany do not have an IT service provider, the school&#39;s IT
-equipment is managed by one or (if the school is lucky) two (admin)
-teachers, most of the workload these admin teachers get done in there
-spare time.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;We were surprised that only a very few admin teachers were
-networked with colleagues from other schools. Basically, every school
-here around has its individual approach of providing IT equipment to
-teachers and students and the exchange of ideas has been quasi
-non-existent until 2010/2011.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Quite some (non-admin) teachers try to avoid using IT technology in
-class as a learning medium completely. Several reasons for this
-avoidance do exist.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;We discovered that no-one has ever taken a closer look at this
-social part of IT management in schools, so far. On our quest journey
-for a technical IT solution for schools, we discussed this issue with
-several teachers, headmasters, politicians, other IT professionals and
-they all confirmed: a holistic approach of considering IT management
-at schools, an approach that includes the people in place, will be new
-and probably a gain for all.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Looking for Linux / Primary Domain Controller (PDC) I found it
+already several years ago. But since the system was still not
+Kerberized and since our schools relies strongly on laptops I didn&#39;t
+use it. I plan to introduce it in the next future, probably for the
+next school year, since the squeeze release solved this security
+hole.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;There is a list of advantages: international context, openness to
-any kind of contributions, do-ocracy policy, the closeness to Debian,
-the different installation scenarios possible (from stand-alone
-workstation to complex multi-server sites), the transparency within
-project communication, honest communication within the group of
-developers, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Many. First of all there is a strong and living community that is
+very generous for help and hints.  Chat help is crucial, together with
+the mailing list.  Second. With Skolelinux you get an already well
+engineered platform and you don&#39;t have to start to build up your PDC
+and your clients from GNU/scratch; I&#39;ve already done this once and I
+can tell it, it is hard. Third, since Skolelinux is a standard
+platform, it is way easier to educate other IT people and even if the

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
 Edu?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Every coin has two sides:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Technically: &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/311188&quot;&gt;BTS issue
-#311188&lt;/a&gt;, tricky upgradability of a Debian Edu main server, network
-client installations on top of a plain vanilla Debian installation
-should become possible sometime in the near future, one could think
-about splitting the very complex package debian-edu-config into
-several portions (to make it easier for new developers to
-contribute).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Another issue I see is that we (as Debian Edu developers) should
-find out more about the network of people who do the marketing for
-Debian Edu / Skolelinux. There is a very active group in Germany
-promoting Skolelinux on the bigger Linux Days within Germany. Are
-there other groups like that in other countries? How can we bring
-these marketing people together (marketing group A with group B and
-all of them with the group of Debian Edu developers)? During the last
-meeting of the German Skolelinux group, I got the impression of people
-there being rather disconnected from the development department of
-Debian Edu / Skolelinux.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The only real problem I see is that it is a little too less
+flexible at client level. Debian stable is rocky and desirable, but
+there are many reasons that force for another choice. For example the
+need of new drivers for new PC, or the need for a specific OS for some
+devices that have specific software packages for another specific
+distribution (I have such a case for whiteboards that have only
+Ubuntu packages). Thus, I prepared compatibility packages educlient
+and eduroaming, hoping not to use them ;-)&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which free software do you use daily?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;For my daily business, I do not use commercial software at all.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;For normal stuff I use Iceweasel/Firefox, Libreoffice.org. For
-serious text writing I prefer LaTeX. I use gimp, inkscape, scribus for
-more artistic tasks. I run virtual machines in KVM and Virtualbox.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I am one of the upstream developers of X2Go. In 2010 I started the
-development of a Python based X2Go Client, called PyHoca-GUI.
-PyHoca-GUI has brought forth a Python X2Go Client API that currently
-is being integrated in Ubuntu&#39;s software center.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I have a Debian Stable PDC at school (Kerberos, NIS, NFS) with
+mixed Debian and Ubuntu clients. If you think that this triad
+combination is exotic... well I discovered right yesterday that
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://moo.nac.uci.edu/~hjm/Perceus-Report.html&quot;&gt;Perceus&lt;/a&gt;
+has the same...&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;For communications I have my own Kolab server running using Horde
-as web-based groupware client. For IRC I love to use irssi, for Jabber
-I have several clients that I use, mostly pidgin, though. I am also
-the Debian maintainer of Coccinella, a Jabber-based interactive
-whiteboard.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;My favourite terminal emulator is KDE&#39;s Yakuake.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;For myself I run Debian wheezy/sid, but this combination is good
+only I you have enough competence to fix stuff for yourself, if
+something breaks.  Daily I use texmacs, gnumeric, a little bit of R
+statistics, kmplot, and less frequently OpenOffice.org.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
 get schools to use free software?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 

-&lt;p&gt;Communicate, communicate, communicate. Enrol people, enrol people,
-enrol people.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;P&gt;I think that the only real argument that school managers &quot;hear&quot; is
+cost reduction. They don&#39;t give too much weight on quality, stability,
+just because they are normally not open to change.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Students adapts very quickly to GNU/Linux (and for them being able
+to switch between different OS is a plus value); teachers and managers
+don&#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We decided to move to Linux because students at our school have own
+laptop and we have the responsibility to keep the laptop ready to use;
+we were really unsatisfied with Microsoft since every Monday we had 20
+machine to fix for viral infections... With Linux this has been
+reduced to zero, since people installs almost only from official
+repositories. I think that our special needs brought us to Linux.
+Those who don&#39;t have such needs will hardly move to Linux.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/kart/2012-September/003696.html&quot;&gt;forteller
+på den norske epostlisten&lt;/a&gt; til prosjektet at hvert blad i

+Tidligere kjøpte de visst kart fra kartverket, men nå slipper de

+
+&lt;p&gt;Denne nyheten synes jeg er fantastisk bra, og jeg håper de får
+følge av flere, slik at det potensielle og fryktede inntektstapet for

+til slutt så lite at frykten for å frigjøre data overvinnes.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;After the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/IETF_standardize_its_first_multimedia_codec__Opus.html&quot;&gt;Opus
+codec made&lt;/a&gt; it into &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ietf.org/&quot;&gt;IETF&lt;/a&gt; as
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716&quot;&gt;RFC 6716&lt;/a&gt;, I had a look
+to see if there is any activity in IETF to standardise a video codec
+too, and I was happy to discover that there is some activity in this
+area.  A non-&quot;working group&quot; mailing list
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/video-codec&quot;&gt;video-codec&lt;/a&gt;
+was
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://ietf.10.n7.nabble.com/New-Non-WG-Mailing-List-video-codec-Video-codec-BoF-discussion-list-td119548.html&quot;&gt;created 2012-08-20&lt;/a&gt;.  It is intended to discuss the topic and if a
+formal working group should be formed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I look forward to see how this plays out.  There is already
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/video-codec/current/msg00003.html&quot;&gt;an
+email from someone&lt;/a&gt; in the MPEG group at ISO asking people to
+participate in the ISO group.  Given how ISO failed with OOXML and given
+that it so far (as far as I can remember) only have produced
+multimedia formats requiring royalty payments, I suspect
+joining the ISO group would be a complete waste of time, but I am not
+involved in any codec work and my opinion will not matter much.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If one of my readers is involved with codec work, I hope she will
+join this work to standardise a royalty free video codec within
+IETF.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ietf.org/&quot;&gt;IETF&lt;/a&gt; announced the
+publication of of
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716&quot;&gt;RFC 6716, the Definition
+of the Opus Audio Codec&lt;/a&gt;, a low latency, variable bandwidth, codec
+intended for both VoIP, film and music.  This is the first time, as
+far as I know, that IETF have standardized a multimedia codec.  In
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3533&quot;&gt;RFC 3533&lt;/a&gt;, IETF
+standardized the OGG container format, and it has proven to be a great
+royalty free container for audio, video and movies.  I hope IETF will
+continue to standardize more royalty free codeces, after ISO and MPEG
+have proven incapable of securing everyone equal rights to publish
+multimedia content on the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;IETF require two interoperating independent implementations to
+ratify a standard, and have so far ensured to only standardize royalty
+free specifications.  Both are key factors to allow everyone (rich and
+poor), to compete on equal terms on the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Visit the &lt;a href=&quot;http://opus-codec.org/&quot;&gt;Opus project page&lt;/a&gt; if
+you want to learn more about the solution.&lt;/p&gt;
