+               <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;
+users are spread all across the globe.  The second inteview after
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2012/03/msg00001.html&quot;&gt;the
+Squeeze release&lt;/a&gt; was publised is with John Ingleby, a teacher and
+long time Linux user in United Kingdom.&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;I teach ICT part time at the Rudolf Steiner School in Kings
+Langley, near London, UK. Previously I worked as a technical
+author/trainer while my children attended the school, and I also
+contributed to the Schoolforge UK community with the aim of
+encouraging UK schools to adopt free/open source software. Five or six
+years ago we had about 50 schools interested in some way, but we
+weren&#39;t able to convert many of them into sustainable
+installations.&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;Skolelinux had two representatives at an early Edubuntu meeting in
+London which I attended. However at that time our school network had
+just been installed using CentOS, LTSP 4 and GNOME. When LTSP 5 came
+along we switched to Edubuntu thin client servers so now we have a
+mixed environment which includes Windows PCs and student laptops, as
+well as their MacBooks and iPads. However, the proprietary systems
+have always been rather problematic, and we never built a GUI for the
+LDAP server, so when I discovered Skolelinux is configured for all
+these things we decided to try it.&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;By far the biggest advantage is the Debian Edu community. Apart
+from that I have always believed in the same &quot;sustainable computing&quot;
+goals that Skolelinux is built on: installing Linux on computers which
+would otherwise be thrown away, to provide a reliable, secure and
+low-cost IT environment for schools. From my own experience I know
+that a part-time person can teach and manage a network of about 25
+Linux computers, but it would take much more of my time if we had
+proprietary software everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&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;As a newcomer I&#39;m just finding out who&#39;s who in the community and
+how you&#39;re organised, and what your procedures are for dealing with
+various things such as editing manual pages and so-on. The only
+English language mailing list seems to be for developers as well as
+users, so my inbox needs heavy pruning each day!&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;Besides the software already mentioned at school we use Samba,
+OpenLDAP, CUPS, Nagios and Dansguardian for the network, and on the
+desktops we have LibreOffice, Firefox, GIMP and Inkscape. At home I
+use Ubuntu and an Android 4 eePad Transformer (but I&#39;m not sure if
+that counts...)&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;That&#39;s a tough question! For very many years UK schools installed
+and taught only proprietary software, so that at the highest levels
+the notion of &quot;computer&quot; means simply &quot;proprietary office
+applications&quot;.  However, schools today are experiencing budget
+constraints, and many are having to think hard about upgrading Windows
+XP.  At the same time, we have students showing teachers how to use
+iPads, MacBooks and Android, so the choice of operating system is no
+longer quite so automatic. What is more, our government at last
+realised that we need people with programming skills, so they&#39;re
+putting coding back in the curriculum! And it&#39;s encouraging that the
+first 10,000 Raspberry Pi units sold out in 2 hours.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I don&#39;t really know what strategy is going to get UK schools to use
+free software, but building an active community of Skolelinux/Debian
+Edu users in this country has to be part of it.&lt;/p&gt;
