+ <description><p>I dag har <a href="http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no">FRiSK</a>
+sendt ut følgende pressemelding basert på mine beregninger av
+PC-tetthet på Linux-skoler:</p>
+
+<p><strong>Linux-skoler har høyere PC-tetthet enn
+landsgjennomsnittet</strong></p>
+
+<p>Oslo, 30 Mars 2012</p>
+
+<p>Det er store forskjeller på skolenes digitale tilstand, viser
+undersøkelsen Monitor 2011 som er laget på oppdrag fra
+Kunnskapsdepartementet. Dette har ført til debatt om PC-tilgangen i
+skolen, og om de med Linux i skolen gjør det bedre bedre eller
+dårligere enn snittet i landet.</p>
+
+<p>Nå har vi tallene. Skoler med Linux har 36% større PC-tetthet en
+landsgjennomsnittet. På spørsmål hvorfor skoler med Linux har større
+PC-tetthet, observerer Paul Reidar Løsnesløkken som er IKT-konsulent i
+Nord-Odal:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>"Vi erfarer at klienter med Skolelinux har god funksjon
+til de er 8 til 10 år gamle. Dette er omtrent dobbelt så lenge som
+andre løsninger, og skolene får mer datautstyr for
+pengene."</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Undersøkelsen baserer seg på 56 skoler som har gjort det offentlig
+at de kjører Skolelinux eller annen Linux-utgave. De kan også ha PC-er
+med Windows i skolenettet. Når en sammenligner PC-tetthetene på
+skolene i kommunene Flora, Harstad, Kongsvinger, Narvik, Nittedal,
+Nord-Odal og Randaberg, er det i snitt 2,28 elev pr. PC på skolene med
+Linux. På landsbasis er det 3.11 elev per PC i grunnskolen, i følge
+side 95 i Monitor-rapporten for 2011. Målingen viser dermed 36% større
+PC-tetthet i skoler med Linux.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Om Skolelinux/Debian Edu</strong></p>
+
+<p>Skolelinux har til hensikt å gi alle barn full tilgang til
+skoleaktuelle dataprogram på sitt eget morsmål. Derfor følger det med
+godt over 100 skoleaktuelle programmene laget for læring. De fleste
+programmene er oversatt til over 50 språk. Elevene skal også kunne
+studere alle sider av dataprogrammene. Derfor følger også kildekode
+med. Elever med interesse kan lære av eksperter som har laget
+systemet. Dette med enkelt programmering i læreprogram som KTurtle,
+til profesjonelle verktøy som Qt Creator eller Java.</p>
+
+<p>Skolelinux er laget for sentralisert drift, der alt teknisk
+administrasjon av alle skolene kan gjøres sentralt fra kommunehuset
+eller sentralt i en region. F.eks. drifter to-tre personer 70.000
+skoledatamaskiner på 200 skoler i delstaten Extremadura i
+Spania. Etter velykket bruk av Debian Edu i skolen, legger delstaten
+over til Debian på 40.000 datamaskiner i administrasjonen. Det er idag
+mange selskap som tilbyr profesjonell støtte til innføring og drift i
+Norge og verden.</p>

- <title>Debian Edu interview: Nigel Barker</title>
- <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Debian_Edu_interview__Nigel_Barker.html</link>

- <description><p>Inspired by <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.com/tag/interview/">the
-interview series</a> conducted by Raphael, I started a Norwegian
-interview series with people involved in the Debian Edu / Skolelinux
-community. This was so popular that I believe it is time to move to a
-more international audience.</p>
-
-<p>While <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and
-Skolelinux</a> originated in France and Norway, and have most users in
-Europe, there are users all around the globe. One of those far away
-from me is Nigel Barker, a long time Debian Edu system administrator
-and contributor. It is thanks to him that Debian Edu is adjusted to
-work out of the box in Japan. I got him to answer a few questions,
-and am happy to share the response with you. :)
-
-
-<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-
-<p>My name is Nigel Barker, and I am British. I am married to Yumiko,
-and we have three lovely children, aged 15, 14 and 4(!) I am the IT
-Coordinator at Hiroshima International School, Japan. I am also a
-teacher, and in fact I spend most of my day teaching Mathematics,
-Science, IT, and Chemistry. I was originally a Chemistry teacher, but
-I have always had an interest in computers. Another teacher teaches
-primary school IT, but apart from that I am the only computer person,
-so that means I am the network manager, technician and webmaster,
-also, and I help people with their computer problems. I teach python
-to beginners in an after-school club. I am way too busy, so I really
-appreciate the simplicity of Skolelinux.</p>
-
-<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux/Debian Edu
-project?</strong></p>
-
-<p>In around 2004 or 5 I discovered the ltsp project, and set up a
-server in the IT lab. I wanted some way to connect it to our central
-samba server, which I was also quite poor at configuring. I discovered
-Edubuntu when it came out, but it didn't really improve my setup. I
-did various desperate searches for things like "school Linux server"
-and ended up in a document called "Drift" something or other. Reading
-there it became clear that Skolelinux was going to solve all my
-problems in one go. I was very excited, but apprehensive, because my
-previous attempts to install Debian had ended in failure (I used
-Mandrake for everything - ltsp, samba, apache, mail, ns...). I
-downloaded a beta version, had some problems, so subscribed to the
-Debian Edu list for help. I have remained subscribed ever since, and
-my school has run a Skolelinux network since Sarge.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>For me the integrated setup. This is not just the server, or the
-workstation, or the ltsp. Its all of them, and its all configured
-ready to go. I read somewhere in the early documentation that it is
-designed to be setup and managed by the Maths or Science teacher, who
-doesn't necessarily know much about computers, in a small Norwegian
-school. That describes me perfectly if you replace Norway with
-Japan.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux/Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>The desktop is fairly plain. If you compare it with Edubuntu, who
-have fun themes for children, or with distributions such as Mint, who
-make the desktop beautiful. They create a good impression on people
-who don't need to understand how to use any of it, but who might be
-important to the school. School administrators or directors, for
-instance, or parents. Even kids. Debian itself usually has ugly
-default theme settings. It was my dream a few years back that some
-kind of integration would allow Edubuntu to do the desktop stuff and
-Debian Edu the servers, but now I realise how impossible that is. A
-second disadvantage is that if something goes wrong, or you need to
-customise something, then suddenly the level of expertise required
-multiplies. For example, backup wasn't working properly in Lenny. It
-took me ages to learn how to set up my own server to do rsync backups.
-I am afraid of anything to do with ldap, but perhaps Gosa will
-help.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Nowadays I only use Debian on my personal computers. I have one for
-studio work (I play guitar and write songs), running AV Linux
-(customised Debian) a netbook running Squeeze, and a bigger laptop
-still running Skolelinux Lenny workstation. I have a Tjener in my
-house, that's very useful for the family photos and music. At school
-the students only use Skolelinux. (Some teachers and the office still
-have windows). So that means we only use free software all day every
-day. Open office, The GIMP, Firefox/Iceweasel, VLC and Audacity are
-installed on every computer in school, irrespective of OS. We also
-have Koha on Debian for the library, and Apache, Moodle, b2evolution
-and Etomite on Debian for the www. The firewall is Untangle.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
-get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Current trends are in our favour. Open source is big in industry,
-and ordinary people have heard of it. The spread of Android and the
-popularity of Apple have helped to weaken the impression that you have
-to have Microsoft on everything. People complain to me much less about
-file formats and Word than they did 5 years ago. The Edu aspect is
-also a selling point. This is all customised for schools. Where is the
-Windows-edu, or the Mac-edu? But of course the main attraction is
-budget.The trick is to convince people that the quality is not
-compromised when you stop paying and use free software instead. That
-is one reason why I say the desktop experience is a weakness. People
-are not impressed when their USB drive doesn't work, or their browser
-doesn't play flash, for example.</p>
