- <description><p><a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a> er mye i mediene for
-tiden. Jeg følger med via Mylder for å finne
-<a href="http://mylder.no/?drill=bitcoin">artikler som omtaler
-temaet</a>, og takket være dette oppdaget jeg at stortingsrepresentant
-Ketil Solvik-Olsen fra FrP nylig har spurt finansminister Sigbjørn
-Johnsen om hans syn på Bitcoin, og
-<a href="http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Sporsmal/Skriftlige-sporsmal-og-svar/Skriftlig-sporsmal/?qid=57052">fått
-svar for noen dager siden</a>. Jeg bet meg spesielt merke til
-følgende formulering fra finansministeren:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-«Det er også utfordringer ved at handel med Bitcoins er uregulert og
-at transaksjonene er anonyme.»
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>At Bitcoin er anonymt er en myte som spres av både journalister og
-andre, så det er ikke veldig overraskende at også finansministeren har
-gått på limpinnen. Det er dog litt rart, da jeg håper at
-finansdepartementet ikke baserer seg på rykter og myter når de
-besvarer Stortinget. Men du trenger ikke bare tro på meg som kilde
-til påstanden om at Bitcoin ikke er anonymt. Sondre Rønjom har
-<a href="http://blogg.nsm.stat.no/archives/3241">via Sikkerhetsbloggen
-hos Nasjonal Sikkerhetsmyndighet</a> uttalt følgende:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-«At [bitcoin] i utgangspunktet
-<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524"><em>ikke</em> er anonymt</a>,
-kommer kanskje som en overraskelse på mange.»
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Enhver bevegelse av Bitcoin er offentlig tilgjengelig for alle på
-Internet, og en må legge svært mye innsats inn hvis en skal hindre at
-nettverksanalyse av transaksjonsloggene kan brukes til å identifisere
-brukerne. F.eks. kan en enkelt se hva jeg har mottatt til min
-offentliggjorte mottaksadresse ved å besøke blockexplorer og slå opp
-adressen
-<a href="http://blockexplorer.com/address/15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a>.
-Det virker dermed på meg ganske klart at å påstå at
-Bitcoin-transaksjoner er anonyme strengt tatt er å føre Stortinget bak
-lyset.</p>
-
-<p>Finansministeren er ikke den eneste som har latt seg forlede av
-medieomtalen. I spørsmålet fra Hr. Solvik-Olseb skriver han at «For
-noen dager siden kom den første bitcoin-minibanken på Kypros», hvilket
-så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut ikke er riktig. Det er annonsert
-planer om en slik minibank (fra
-<a href="http://www.bitcoinatm.com/">BitcoinATM</a>), men jeg finner
-inten tegn til at en slik minibank er utplassert noe sted.</p>
-
-<p>Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
-mine aktiviteter, så setter jeg pris på Bitcoin-donasjoner til min
-adresse

+ <description><p>The <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox">Freedombox
+project</a> is working on providing the software and hardware for
+making it easy for non-technical people to host their data and
+communication at home, and being able to communicate with their
+friends and family encrypted and away from prying eyes. It has been
+going on for a while, and is slowly progressing towards a new test
+release (0.2).</p>
+
+<p>And what day could be better than the Pi day to announce that the
+new version will provide "hard drive" / SD card / USB stick images for
+Dreamplug, Raspberry Pi and VirtualBox (or any other virtualization
+system), and can also be installed using a Debian installer preseed
+file. The Debian based Freedombox is now based on Debian Jessie,
+where most of the needed packages used are already present. Only one,
+the freedombox-setup package, is missing. To try to build your own
+boot image to test the current status, fetch the freedom-maker scripts
+and build using
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/vmdebootstrap">vmdebootstrap</a>
+with a user with sudo access to become root:
+
+<pre>
+git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/freedombox/freedom-maker.git \
+ freedom-maker
+sudo apt-get install git vmdebootstrap mercurial python-docutils \
+ mktorrent extlinux virtualbox qemu-user-static binfmt-support \
+ u-boot-tools
+make -C freedom-maker dreamplug-image raspberry-image virtualbox-image
+</pre>
+
+<p>Root access is needed to run debootstrap and mount loopback
+devices. See the README for more details on the build. If you do not
+want all three images, trim the make line. But note that thanks to <a
+href="https://bugs.debian.org/741407">a race condition in
+vmdebootstrap</a>, the build might fail without the patch to the
+kpartx call.</p>
+
+<p>If you instead want to install using a Debian CD and the preseed
+method, boot a Debian Wheezy ISO and use this boot argument to load
+the preseed values:</p>
+
+<pre>
+url=<a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-jessie.dat</a>
+</pre>
+
+<p>But note that due to <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/740673">a
+recently introduced bug in apt in Jessie</a>, the installer will
+currently hang while setting up APT sources. Killing the
+'<tt>apt-cdrom ident</tt>' process when it hang a few times during the
+installation will get the installation going. This affect all
+installations in Jessie, and I expect it will be fixed soon.</p>
+
+Give it a go and let us know how it goes on the mailing list, and help
+us get the new release published. :) Please join us on
+<a href="irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox">IRC (#freedombox on
+irc.debian.org)</a> and
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss">the
+mailing list</a> if you want to help make this vision come true.</p>

+ <description><p>On larger sites, it is useful to use a dedicated storage server for
+storing user home directories and data. The design for handling this
+in <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a>, is
+to update the automount rules in LDAP and let the automount daemon on
+the clients take care of the rest. I was reminded about the need to
+document this better when one of the customers of
+<a href="http://www.slxdrift.no/">Skolelinux Drift AS</a>, where I am
+on the board of directors, asked about how to do this. The steps to
+get this working are the following:</p>
-<ul>
+<p><ol>
-<li><a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-Fornyingsdepartementet/sak-2012-2168/Oppsummering%20av%20h%f8ringen%20om%20endringer%20i%20forskrift%20om%20IT-standarder.pdf">Epost fra DIFI til Fornyingsdepartementet, datert 2012-11-23</a></li>
+<li>Add new storage server in DNS. I use nas-server.intern as the
+example host here.</li>
-<li><a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-Fornyingsdepartementet/sak-2012-2168/Oppsummering%20og%20anbefaling%20etter%20h%f8ring.pdf">vedlegg 1, Oppsummering og anbefalinger etter høring av endringer i forskrift om IT-standarer i offentlig forvaltning, datert 2012-11-23</a></li>
+<li>Add automoun LDAP information about this server in LDAP, to allow
+all clients to automatically mount it on reqeust.</li>
-<li><a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-Fornyingsdepartementet/sak-2012-2168/Vedlegg%20Om%20h%f8ringe.docx%20(L)(898066).pdf">Notat fra avdeling for IKT og fornying til statsråd i Fornyingsdepartementet om høringen, datert 2013-01-03</a></li>
+<li>Add the relevant entries in tjener.intern:/etc/fstab, because
+tjener.intern do not use automount to avoid mounting loops.</li>
-</ul>
+</ol></p>
-<p>Det bør nevnes at da jeg ble nektet innsyn hos mottaker
-Fornyingsdepartementet på høringsoppsummeringen som DIFI hadde sendt
-ut, spurte jeg DIFI om innsyn i stedet. Det fikk jeg i løpet av et
-par dager. Moralen er at hvis ikke mottaker ikke vil gi innsyn, spør
-avsender i stedet. Kanskje de har forskjellig forståelse av hva som
-bør holdes skjult for folket. Her er de tilsvarende dokumentene jeg
-fikk innsyn i fra DIFI:</p>
+<p>DNS entries are added in GOsa², and not described here. Follow the
+<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Wheezy/GettingStarted">instructions
+in the manual</a> (Machine Management with GOsa² in section Getting
+started).</p>
-<ul>
+<p>Ensure that the NFS export points on the server are exported to the
+relevant subnets or machines:</p>
-<li><a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-DIFI/Epostforsendelse.pdf">Epost fra DIFI til Fornyingsdepartementet, datert 2012-11-23</a></li>
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+root@tjener:~# showmount -e nas-server
+Export list for nas-server:
+/storage 10.0.0.0/8
+root@tjener:~#
+</pre></blockquote></p>
-<li><a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-DIFI/Vedlegg%201,%20Oppsummering%20av%20h%f8ring%20om%20endringer%20i%20forskrift%20om%20IT-standarder.pdf">vedlegg 1, Oppsummering og anbefalinger etter høring av endringer i forskrift om IT-standarer i offentlig forvaltning, datert 2012-11-23</a></li>
+<p>Here everything on the backbone network is granted access to the
+/storage export. With NFSv3 it is slightly better to limit it to
+netgroup membership or single IP addresses to have some limits on the
+NFS access.</p>
-<li><a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-DIFI/Vedlegg%202,%20Forslag%20til%20endringsforskrift.pdf">Vedlegg 2, Forslag til endringsforskrift, udatert</a></li>
+<p>The next step is to update LDAP. This can not be done using GOsa²,
+because it lack a module for automount. Instead, use ldapvi and add
+the required LDAP objects using an editor.</p>
-<li><a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-DIFI/Vedlegg%203%20Forskrift%20om%20IT-standarder%20i%20offentlig%20forvaltning.pdf">Vedlegg 3, Forskrift om IT-standarder i offentlig forvaltning, udatert</a></li>
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+ldapvi --ldap-conf -ZD '(cn=admin)' -b ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
+</pre></blockquote></p>
-</ul>
+<p>When the editor show up, add the following LDAP objects at the
+bottom of the document. The "/&" part in the last LDAP object is a
+wild card matching everything the nas-server exports, removing the
+need to list individual mount points in LDAP.</p>
+
+<p><blockquote><pre>
+add cn=nas-server,ou=auto.skole,ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
+objectClass: automount
+cn: nas-server
+automountInformation: -fstype=autofs --timeout=60 ldap:ou=auto.nas-server,ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
+
+add ou=auto.nas-server,ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
+objectClass: top
+objectClass: automountMap
+ou: auto.nas-server
+
+add cn=/,ou=auto.nas-server,ou=automount,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
+objectClass: automount
+cn: /
+automountInformation: -fstype=nfs,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,rw,intr,hard,nodev,nosuid,noatime nas-server.intern:/&
+</pre></blockquote></p>
+
+<p>The last step to remember is to mount the relevant mount points in
+tjener.intern by adding them to /etc/fstab, creating the mount
+directories using mkdir and running "mount -a" to mount them.</p>
-<p>Det jeg synes er mest interessant er endel av aktørene som
-protesterte på fjerningen (Kartverket, Drammen kommune), og hvordan
-høringsoppsummeringen ikke tar stilling til effekten av å fjerne ODF
-fra katalogen.</p>
+<p>When this is done, your users should be able to access the files on
+the storage server directly by just visiting the
+/tjener/nas-server/storage/ directory using any application on any
+workstation, LTSP client or LTSP server.</p>

+ <description><p>For noen uker siden ble NXCs fri programvarelisenserte
+NOARK5-løsning
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20140211-noark/">presentert hos
+NUUG</a> (video
+<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCb_dNS3MHQ">på youtube
+foreløbig</a>), og det fikk meg til å titte litt mer på NOARK5,
+standarden for arkivhåndtering i det offentlige Norge. Jeg lurer på
+om denne kjernen kan være nyttig i et par av mine prosjekter, og for ett
+av dem er det mest aktuelt å lagre epost. Jeg klarte ikke finne noen
+anbefaling om hvordan RFC 822-formattert epost (aka Internett-epost)
+burde lagres i NOARK5, selv om jeg vet at noen arkiver tar
+PDF-utskrift av eposten med sitt epostprogram og så arkiverer PDF-en
+(eller enda værre, tar papirutskrift og lagrer bildet av eposten som
+PDF i arkivet).</p>
+
+<p>Det er ikke så mange formater som er akseptert av riksarkivet til
+langtidsoppbevaring av offentlige arkiver, og PDF og XML er de mest
+aktuelle i så måte. Det slo meg at det måtte da finnes en eller annen
+egnet XML-representasjon og at det kanskje var enighet om hvilken som
+burde brukes, så jeg tok mot til meg og spurte
+<a href="http://samdok.com/">SAMDOK</a>, en gruppe tilknyttet
+arkivverket som ser ut til å jobbe med NOARK-samhandling, om de hadde
+noen anbefalinger:
<p><blockquote>
-«Langt ute i havet ligger en mystisk øy. Den er bare synlig hver
-tirsdag og fredag. Derfor står den ikke på noe kart. På denne øya
-ligger et slott, og i slottet bor en gammel, fin sjøormfamilie.»
+<p>Hei.</p>
+
+<p>Usikker på om dette er riktig forum å ta opp mitt spørsmål, men jeg
+lurer på om det er definert en anbefaling om hvordan RFC
+822-formatterte epost (aka vanlig Internet-epost) bør lages håndteres
+i NOARK5, slik at en bevarer all informasjon i eposten
+(f.eks. Received-linjer). Finnes det en anbefalt XML-mapping ala den
+som beskrives på
+&lt;URL: <a href="https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=32074">https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=32074</a> &gt;? Mitt
+mål er at det skal være mulig å lagre eposten i en NOARK5-kjerne og
+kunne få ut en identisk formattert kopi av opprinnelig epost ved
+behov.</p>
</blockquote></p>
-<p>Det virker åpenbart at Hr. Bringsværd tok feil når han trodde den
-ikke var på noe kart, og at noen tydeligvis har vært i nærheten en
-tirsdag eller en fredag og fått den med på et kart, mens
-satellittbildene er tatt på noen av de fem andre dagene i uka og
-dermed ikke ser øya. :)</p>
-
-<p>I følge
-<a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/12/03/nyheter/sandy_island/forskning/utenriks/24662158/">en
-senere artikkel i Dagbladet</a> hevder Shaun Higgins, en forsker fra
-New Zealand, at et hvalfangstskip fra 1876 er opprinnelsen til at
-spøkelsesøya i det hele tatt havnet på kartet. Det fremgår ikke fra
-historien hvilken ukedag de var innom.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg har stor sans for Tor Åge Bringsværd. Og han viste nylig en
-svært fin side av seg selv da han sa ja til EFNs forespørsel om å gi

- <title>Isenkram 0.2 finally in the Debian archive</title>

- <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Isenkram_0_2_finally_in_the_Debian_archive.html</guid>
- <pubDate>Wed, 3 Apr 2013 23:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
- <description><p>Today the <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/isenkram">Isenkram
-package</a> finally made it into the archive, after lingering in NEW
-for many months. I uploaded it to the Debian experimental suite
-2013-01-27, and today it was accepted into the archive.</p>
-
-<p>Isenkram is a system for suggesting to users what packages to
-install to work with a pluggable hardware device. The suggestion pop
-up when the device is plugged in. For example if a Lego Mindstorm NXT
-is inserted, it will suggest to install the program needed to program
-the NXT controller. Give it a go, and report bugs and suggestions to
-BTS. :)</p>
+<p>Postmottaker hos SAMDOK mente spørsmålet heller burde stilles
+direkte til riksarkivet, og jeg fikk i dag svar derfra formulert av
+seniorrådgiver Geir Ivar Tungesvik:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+<p>Riksarkivet har ingen anbefalinger når det gjelder konvertering fra
+e-post til XML. Det står arkivskaper fritt å eventuelt definere/bruke
+eget format. Inklusive da - som det spørres om - et format der det er
+mulig å re-etablere e-post format ut fra XML-en. XML (e-post)
+dokumenter må være referert i arkivstrukturen, og det må vedlegges et
+gyldig XML skjema (.xsd) for XML-filene. Arkivskaper står altså fritt
+til å gjøre hva de vil, bare det dokumenteres og det kan dannes et
+utrekk ved avlevering til depot.</p>
+
+<p>De obligatoriske kravene i Noark 5 standarden må altså oppfylles -
+etter dialog med Riksarkivet i forbindelse med godkjenning. For
+offentlige arkiv er det særlig viktig med filene loependeJournal.xml
+og offentligJournal.xml. Private arkiv som vil forholde seg til Noark
+5 standarden er selvsagt frie til å bruke det som er relevant for dem
+av obligatoriske krav.</p>
+</blockquote></p>
+
+<p>Det ser dermed ut for meg som om det er et lite behov for å
+standardisere XML-lagring av RFC-822-formatterte meldinger. Noen som
+vet om god spesifikasjon i så måte? I tillegg til den omtalt over,
+har jeg kommet over flere aktuelle beskrivelser (søk på "rfc 822
+xml", så finner du aktuelle alternativer).</p>

+ <description><p>Her er noen lenker til tekster jeg har satt pris på å lese de siste
+månedene. Det er mye om varsleren Edward Snowden, som burde få all
+hjelp, støtte og beskyttelse Norge kan stille opp med for å ha satt
+totalitær overvåkning på sakskartet, men også endel annet
+tankevekkende og interessant.</p>
-<p><blockquote>
+<ul>
-<p><strong>EFN nyutgir Kodémus:</strong></p>
-
-<p><strong>Tor Åge Bringsværd-novelle om IT og overvåkning fra
-informasjonsteknologiens spedbarndom får nytt liv</strong></p>
-
-<p>Elektronisk Forpost Norge (EFN) er veldig glad for anledningen til
-å nyutgi Tor Åge Bringsværds novelle Kodémus i digitalt format for nye
-(og gamle) generasjoner. Novellen ble skrevet så tidlig som vinteren
-1968, og første gang trykt i novellesamlingen Probok på Gyldendal
-samme år.</p>
-
-<p>Informasjonsteknologi spiller en sentral rolle i Kodémus, og det er
-spennende å sammenligne beskrivelsen av IT fra 1968 med dagens IT i
-2013. Forskjellene er mange -- men det er jammen likhetene også. Ikke
-minst det at idag går jo nesten alle rundt med lillebrødre på seg!</p>
-
-<p>"Riktignok er det ikke påbudt å ha mobil," sier Thomas Gramstad,
-leder i EFN. "Men vi holder på å lage et samfunn der det blir så
-upraktisk eller tungvint å ikke ha det, at man i praksis ikke slipper
-unna. Og disse lillebrødrene sladrer hele tiden til staten (og til
-mange andre) om hvor vi er, hva vi gjør, hva vi bryr oss om, hva vi
-liker..."</p>
-
-<p>Det at Kodémus åpenbart er skrevet i en annen tid med en annen type
-IT og likevel virker så relevant idag, er i seg selv et hardtslående
-tankekors.</p>
-
-<p>Tross sitt IT-tema fantes ikke Kodémus i elektronisk form, og
-frivillige i EFN har skannet inn, OCR-tolket og korrekturlest
-novellen, og deretter kodet den i en rekke digitale formater.</p>
-
-<p>Forfatteren har gitt tillatelse til publisering av Kodémus under ny
-lisens, og novellen utgis av EFN med en Creative Commons (CC)
-fribrukslisens (nærmere bestemt lisensen CC-BY-NC-ND). For leserne
-eller brukerne innebærer dette at de får en klar og standardisert
-beskjed om hvilke rettigheter de har til å dele novellen videre med
-andre. For forfatteren innebærer dette økt synlighet og
-tilgjengelighet for verket, slik at det ikke blir glemt, da
-søkemotorer og nettlesere inneholder egne søkevalg for CC-lisenser, og
-mange brukere søker etter verk som de vet de kan dele og bruke på
-lovlig vis.</p>
-
-<p>EFN oppfordrer andre forfattere om å gi ut sine gamle tekster med
-en fribrukslisens, slik at tekstene ikke blir glemt og for å stimulere
-lovlig deling på nettet. EFN kan være behjelpelig med digitalisering
-og utlegging på nett, i den grad det finnes kapasitet blant EFNs
-medlemmer til dette. Vi mener at nyutgivelser av tekster under frie
-lisenser kan øke interessen rundt forfatterskapet, og vil gjerne bidra
-til dette.</p>
-
-<p>EFN utgir og deler med dette en novelle fra den digitale
-informasjonsteknologiens tidligste barndom. En novelle som fortsatt er
-full av vitalitet og aktualitet, og som derfor kan bidra til, og gi
-ettertanke i dagens debatter om IT, personvern, overvåkning og
-individets frihet og integritet.</p>
-
-<p>Du finner novellen her:
-<br><a href="http://efn.no/kodemus/">http://efn.no/kodemus/</a></p>
-
-<p>i flere forskjellige formater, for ulike plattformer. Per idag
-finnes novellen i disse formatene: EPUB, MOBI, XML, HTML, PDF og
-txt. Det kan bli flere formater senere, og evt. frivillige
-bidragsytere til dette er velkommen.</p>

- <description><p>Would you like to help the environment and save money at the same
-time, without much sacrifice? A small step could be to change the
-font you use when printing.</p>
-
-<p>Three years ago,
-<a href="http://arstechnica.com/business/2010/04/last-year-printer-comparison-website/">Ars
-Technica</a> reported how the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
-changed their default front from
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial">Arial</a> to
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Gothic">Century
-Gothic</a> to save money. The Century Gothic font uses 30% less toner
-than Arial to print the same text. In other word, you could cut your
-toner costs by 30% (or actually, increase your toner supply life time
-by more than 30%), by simply changing the default font used in your
-prints.</p>
-
-<p>But it is not quite obvious how much one will save by switching.
-The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay said it used $100,000 per year
-on ink and toner cartridges, according to
-<a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_14833097">a report from
-TwinCities.com</a>, and expected to save between $5,000 and $10,000
-per year by asking staff and students to use a different font. Not
-all PDFs and documents are created internally, and those from external
-sources will most likely still use a different font. Also, the
-Century Gothic font is slightly wider than Arial, and thus might use
-more sheets of paper to print the same text, so the total saving
-depend on the documents printed.</p>
-
-<p>But it is definitely something to consider, if you want to reduce
-the amount of trash, decrease the amount of toner used in the world,
-and save some money in the process.</p>
-
-<p>Update 2013-04-10: If you want to know how much ink/toner could be
-saved when switching between fonts, Inkfarm got a
-<a href="http://www.inkfarm.com/What-the-Font">service to calculate the
-difference between font pairs</a>. They also
-<a href="http://www.inkfarm.com/Recommended-Ink-Saving-Fonts---">recommend
-which fonts to use</a> to save ink. Check it out. :) While updating
-this blog post, I also came across a blog post from InkCloners,
-<a href="http://inkcloners.com/blog/ink-cartridges/change-fonts-to-save-ink-costs/">listing
-the fonts they recommend</a>, with Centory Gothic at the top.</p>

+ <description><p>Many years ago, I wrote a GPL licensed version of the netgroup and
+innetgr tools, because I needed them in
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>. I called the project
+ng-utils, and it has served me well. I placed the project under the
+<a href="http://www.hungry.com/">Hungry Programmer</a> umbrella, and it was maintained in our CVS
+repository. But many years ago, the CVS repository was dropped (lost,
+not migrated to new hardware, not sure), and the project have lacked a
+proper home since then.</p>
+
+<p>Last summer, I had a look at the package and made a new release
+fixing a irritating crash bug, but was unable to store the changes in
+a proper source control system. I applied for a project on
+<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/">Alioth</a>, but did not have time
+to follow up on it. Until today. :)</p>
+
+<p>After many hours of cleaning and migration, the ng-utils project
+now have a new home, and a git repository with the highlight of the
+history of the project. I published all release tarballs and imported
+them into the git repository. As the project is really stable and not
+expected to gain new features any time soon, I decided to make a new
+release and call it 1.0. Visit the new project home on
+<a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/">https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ng-utils/</a>
+if you want to check it out. The new version is also uploaded into

- <pubDate>Sun, 24 Mar 2013 17:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
- <description><p>A few days ago, during a discussion in
-<a href="http://www.efn.no/">EFN</a> about interesting books to read
-about copyright and the data retention directive, a suggestion to read
-the 1968 short story Kodémus by
-<a href="http://web2.gyldendal.no/toraage/">Tore Åge Bringsværd</a>
-came up. The text was only available in old paper books, and thus not
-easily available for current and future generations. Some of the
-people participating in the discussion contacted the author, and
-reported back 2013-03-19 that the author was OK with releasing the
-short story using a <a href="http://www.creativecommons.org/">Creative
-Commons</a> license. The text was quickly scanned and OCR-ed, and we
-were ready to start on the editing and typesetting.</p>
-
-<p>As I already had some experience formatting text in my project to
-provide a Norwegian version of the Free Culture book by Lawrence
-Lessig, I chipped in and set up a
-<a href="http://www.docbook.org/">DocBook</a> processing framework to
-generate PDF, HTML and EPUB version of the short story. The tools to
-transform DocBook to different formats are already in my Linux
-distribution of choice, <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a>, so
-all I had to do was to use the
-<a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a>,
-<a href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/README">dbtoepub</a>
-and <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/">xmlto</a> tools to do the
-conversion. After a few days, we decided to replace dblatex with
-xsltproc/fop (aka
-<a href="http://wiki.docbook.org/DocBookXslStylesheets">docbook-xsl</a>),
-to get the copyright information to show up in the PDF and to get a
-nicer &lt;variablelist&gt; typesetting, but that is just a minor
-technical detail.</p>
-
-<p>There were a few challenges, of course. We want to typeset the
-short story to look like the original, and that require fairly good
-control over the layout. The original short story have three
-parts/scenes separated by a single horizontally centred star (*), and
-the paragraphs do not contain only flowing text, but dialogs and text
-that started on a new line in the middle of the paragraph.</p>
-
-<p>I initially solved the first challenge by using a paragraph with a
-single star in it, ie &lt;para&gt;*&lt;/para&gt;, but it made sure a
-placeholder indicated where the scene shifted. This did not look too
-good without the centring. The next approach was to create a new
-preprocessor directive &lt;?newscene?&gt;, mapping to "&lt;hr/&gt;"
-for HTML and "&lt;fo:block text-align="center"&gt;&lt;fo:leader
-leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="0.5pt"/&gt;&lt;/fo:block&gt;"
-for FO/PDF output (did not try to implement this in dblatex, as we had
-switched at this time). The HTML XSL file looked like this:</p>
+ <title>Testing sysvinit from experimental in Debian Hurd</title>
+ <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Testing_sysvinit_from_experimental_in_Debian_Hurd.html</link>
+ <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Testing_sysvinit_from_experimental_in_Debian_Hurd.html</guid>
+ <pubDate>Mon, 3 Feb 2014 13:40:00 +0100</pubDate>
+ <description><p>A few days ago I decided to try to help the Hurd people to get
+their changes into sysvinit, to allow them to use the normal sysvinit
+boot system instead of their old one. This follow up on the
+<a href="https://teythoon.cryptobitch.de//categories/gsoc.html">great
+Google Summer of Code work</a> done last summer by Justus Winter to
+get Debian on Hurd working more like Debian on Linux. To get started,
+I downloaded a prebuilt hard disk image from
+<a href="http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz">http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz</a>,
+and started it using virt-manager.</p>
+
+<p>The first think I had to do after logging in (root without any
+password) was to get the network operational. I followed
+<a href="https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install">the
+instructions on the Debian GNU/Hurd ports page</a> and ran these
+commands as root to get the machine to accept a IP address from the
+kvm internal DHCP server:</p>
<p><blockquote><pre>
-&lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
-&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
- &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('newscene')"&gt;
- &lt;hr/&gt;
- &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
-&lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
+settrans -fgap /dev/netdde /hurd/netdde
+kill $(ps -ef|awk '/[p]finet/ { print $2}')
+kill $(ps -ef|awk '/[d]evnode/ { print $2}')
+dhclient /dev/eth0
</pre></blockquote></p>
-<p>And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:</p>
+<p>After this, the machine had internet connectivity, and I could
+upgrade it and install the sysvinit packages from experimental and
+enable it as the default boot system in Hurd.</p>
+
+<p>But before I did that, I set a password on the root user, as ssh is
+running on the machine it for ssh login to work a password need to be
+set. Also, note that a bug somewhere in openssh on Hurd block
+compression from working. Remember to turn that off on the client
+side.</p>
+
+<p>Run these commands as root to upgrade and test the new sysvinit
+stuff:</p>
<p><blockquote><pre>
-&lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
-&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
- &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('newscene')"&gt;
- &lt;fo:block text-align="center"&gt;
- &lt;fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" rule-thickness="0.5pt"/&gt;
- &lt;/fo:block&gt;
- &lt;/xsl:template&gt;
-&lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt;
+cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list &lt;&lt;EOF
+deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ experimental main
+EOF
+apt-get update
+apt-get dist-upgrade
+apt-get install -t experimental initscripts sysv-rc sysvinit \
+ sysvinit-core sysvinit-utils
+update-alternatives --config runsystem
</pre></blockquote></p>
-<p>Finally, I came across the &lt;bridgehead&gt; tag, which seem to be
-a good fit for the task at hand, and I replaced &lt;?newscene?&gt;
-with &lt;bridgehead&gt;*&lt;/bridgehead&gt;. It isn't centred, but we
-can fix it with some XSL rule if the current visual layout isn't
-enough.</p>
-
-<p>I did not find a good DocBook compliant way to solve the
-linebreak/paragraph challenge, so I ended up creating a new processor
-directive &lt;?linebreak?&gt;, mapping to &lt;br/&gt; in HTML, and
-&lt;fo:block/&gt; in FO/PDF. I suspect there are better ways to do
-this, and welcome ideas and patches on github. The HTML XSL file now
-look like this:</p>
+<p>To reboot after switching boot system, you have to use
+<tt>reboot-hurd</tt> instead of just <tt>reboot</tt>, as there is not
+yet a sysvinit process able to receive the signals from the normal
+'reboot' command. After switching to sysvinit as the boot system,
+upgrading every package and rebooting, the network come up with DHCP
+after boot as it should, and the settrans/pkill hack mentioned at the
+start is no longer needed. But for some strange reason, there are no
+longer any login prompt in the virtual console, so I logged in using
+ssh instead.
+
+<p>Note that there are some race conditions in Hurd making the boot
+fail some times. No idea what the cause is, but hope the Hurd porters
+figure it out. At least Justus said on IRC (#debian-hurd on
+irc.debian.org) that they are aware of the problem. A way to reduce
+the impact is to upgrade to the Hurd packages built by Justus by
+adding this repository to the machine:</p>
<p><blockquote><pre>
-&lt;?xml version='1.0'?&gt;
-&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'&gt;
- &lt;xsl:template match="processing-instruction('linebreak)"&gt;
- &lt;br/&gt;
- &lt;/xsl:template&gt;

+cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hurd-ci.list &lt;&lt;EOF
+deb http://darnassus.sceen.net/~teythoon/hurd-ci/ sid main
+EOF
</pre></blockquote></p>
-<p>And the FO/PDF XSL file looked like this:</p>
+<p>At the moment the prebuilt virtual machine get some packages from
+http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian, because some of the packages in
+unstable do not yet include the required patches that are lingering in
+BTS. This is the completely list of "unofficial" packages installed:</p>

+ <description><p>Bitcoin is a incredible use of peer to peer communication and
+encryption, allowing direct and immediate money transfer without any
+central control. It is sometimes claimed to be ideal for illegal
+activity, which I believe is quite a long way from the truth. At least
+I would not conduct illegal money transfers using a system where the
+details of every transaction are kept forever. This point is
+investigated in
+<a href="https://www.usenix.org/publications/login">USENIX ;login:</a>
+from December 2013, in the article
+"<a href="https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/03_meiklejohn-online.pdf">A
+Fistful of Bitcoins - Characterizing Payments Among Men with No
+Names</a>" by Sarah Meiklejohn, Marjori Pomarole,Grant Jordan, Kirill
+Levchenko, Damon McCoy, Geoffrey M. Voelker, and Stefan Savage. They
+analyse the transaction log in the Bitcoin system, using it to find
+addresses belong to individuals and organisations and follow the flow
+of money from both Bitcoin theft and trades on Silk Road to where the
+money end up. This is how they wrap up their article:</p>
+
+<p><blockquote>
+<p>"To demonstrate the usefulness of this type of analysis, we turned
+our attention to criminal activity. In the Bitcoin economy, criminal
+activity can appear in a number of forms, such as dealing drugs on
+Silk Road or simply stealing someone else’s bitcoins. We followed the
+flow of bitcoins out of Silk Road (in particular, from one notorious
+address) and from a number of highly publicized thefts to see whether
+we could track the bitcoins to known services. Although some of the
+thieves attempted to use sophisticated mixing techniques (or possibly
+mix services) to obscure the flow of bitcoins, for the most part
+tracking the bitcoins was quite straightforward, and we ultimately saw
+large quantities of bitcoins flow to a variety of exchanges directly
+from the point of theft (or the withdrawal from Silk Road).</p>
+
+<p>As acknowledged above, following stolen bitcoins to the point at
+which they are deposited into an exchange does not in itself identify
+the thief; however, it does enable further de-anonymization in the
+case in which certain agencies can determine (through, for example,
+subpoena power) the real-world owner of the account into which the
+stolen bitcoins were deposited. Because such exchanges seem to serve
+as chokepoints into and out of the Bitcoin economy (i.e., there are
+few alternative ways to cash out), we conclude that using Bitcoin for
+money laundering or other illicit purposes does not (at least at
+present) seem to be particularly attractive."</p>
+</blockquote><p>
+
+<p>These researches are not the first to analyse the Bitcoin
+transaction log. The 2011 paper
+"<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524">An Analysis of Anonymity in
+the Bitcoin System</A>" by Fergal Reid and Martin Harrigan is
+summarized like this:</p>
<p><blockquote>
-Det kom noen innvendinger på forslaget om å fjerne ODF som
-obligatorisk standard for redigerbare dokumenter. Innvendingene har
-ikke blitt ilagt avgjørende vekt.
+"Anonymity in Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer electronic currency system, is a
+complicated issue. Within the system, users are identified by
+public-keys only. An attacker wishing to de-anonymize its users will
+attempt to construct the one-to-many mapping between users and
+public-keys and associate information external to the system with the
+users. Bitcoin tries to prevent this attack by storing the mapping of
+a user to his or her public-keys on that user's node only and by
+allowing each user to generate as many public-keys as required. In
+this chapter we consider the topological structure of two networks
+derived from Bitcoin's public transaction history. We show that the
+two networks have a non-trivial topological structure, provide
+complementary views of the Bitcoin system and have implications for
+anonymity. We combine these structures with external information and
+techniques such as context discovery and flow analysis to investigate
+an alleged theft of Bitcoins, which, at the time of the theft, had a
+market value of approximately half a million U.S. dollars."
</blockquote></p>
-<p>Ved å fjerne ODF som obligatorisk format ved publisering av
-redigerbare dokumenter setter en Norge tiår tilbake. Det som vil skje
-er at offentlige etater går tilbake til kun å publisere dokumenter på
-et av de mange formatene til Microsoft Office, og alle som ikke
-aksepterer bruksvilkårene til Microsoft eller ikke har råd til å bruke
-penger på å få tilgang til Microsoft Office må igjen basere seg på
-verktøy fra utviklerne som er avhengig av å reversutvikle disse
-formatene. I og med at ISO-spesifikasjonen for OOXML ikke komplett og
-korrekt spesifiserer formatene til MS Office (men er nyttige å titte i
-når en reversutvikler), er en tilbake til en situasjon der en ikke har
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fri_og__pen_standard__slik_Digistan_ser_det.html">en
-fri og åpen standard</a> å forholde seg til, men i stedet må springe
-etter Microsoft. Alle andre leverandører enn Microsoft vil dermed ha
-en seriøs ulempe. Det er som å fjerne krav om bruk av meter som
-måleenhet, og heretter aksepterer alle måleenheter som like gyldige,
-når en vet at den mest brukte enheten vil være armlengden til Steve
-Ballmer slik Microsoft måler den.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg er ikke sikker på om forslaget er vedtatt av regjeringen ennå.
-Kristian Bergem hos DIFI nevnte på et møte forrige tirsdag at han
-trodde det var vedtatt i statsråd 8. mars, men jeg har ikke klart å
-finne en skriftlig kilde på regjeringen.no som bekrefter dette.
-Kanskje det ennå ikke er for sent...</p>
-
-<p>Jeg ba i forrige uke om innsyn i dokument 6, 7 og 8 i FAD-saken, og
-har i dag fått innsyn i dokument 7 og 8. Ble nektet innsyn i
-dokumentet med tittelen «Oppsummering av høring om endringer i
-forskrift om IT-standarder i offentlig forvaltning» med hjemmel i

-på hvordan jeg kan klage på at jeg ikke fikk se oppsummeringen. Fikk

+<p>I hope these references can help kill the urban myth that Bitcoin

+ <description><p><a href="http://www.coverity.com/">Coverity</a> is a nice tool to
+find problems in C, C++ and Java code using static source code
+analysis. It can detect a lot of different problems, and is very
+useful to find memory and locking bugs in the error handling part of
+the source. The company behind it provide
+<a href="https://scan.coverity.com/">check of free software projects as
+a community service</a>, and many hundred free software projects are
+already checked. A few days ago I decided to have a closer look at
+the Coverity system, and discovered that the
+<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/">gnash</a> and
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitool/">ipmitool</a>
+projects I am involved with was already registered. But these are
+fairly big, and I would also like to have a small and easy project to
+check, and decided to <a href="http://scan.coverity.com/projects/1179">request
+checking of the chrpath project</a>. It was
+added to the checker and discovered seven potential defects. Six of
+these were real, mostly resource "leak" when the program detected an
+error. Nothing serious, as the resources would be released a fraction
+of a second later when the program exited because of the error, but it
+is nice to do it right in case the source of the program some time in
+the future end up in a library. Having fixed all defects and added
+<a href="https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/chrpath-devel">a
+mailing list for the chrpath developers</a>, I decided it was time to
+publish a new release. These are the release notes:</p>
+
+<p>New in 0.16 released 2014-01-14:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>Fixed all minor bugs discovered by Coverity.</li>
+ <li>Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project.</li>
+ <li>Mention new project mailing list in the documentation.</li>

+
+<p>You can

+new version 0.16 from alioth</a>. Please let us know via the Alioth

+ <description><p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project</a> consist of both newcomers and old timers, and this time I
+was able to get an interview with a newcomer in the project who showed
+up on the IRC channel a few weeks ago to let us know about his
+successful installation of Debian Edu Wheezy in his School. Say hello
+to <a href="https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/Natureshadow">Dominik
+George</a>.</p>
+
+<!-- http://www.dominik-george.de/images/foto.jpg -->
+
+<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I am a 23 year-old student from Germany who has spent half of his
+life with open source. In "real life", I am, as already mentioned, a
+student in the fields of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering,
+Information Technologies and Anglistics. Due to my (only partially
+voluntary) huge engagement in the open source world, these things are
+a bit vacant right now however.</p>
+
+<p>I also have been working as a project teacher at a Gymasnium
+(public school) for various years now. I took up that work some time
+around 2005 when still attending that school myself and have continued
+it until today. I also had been running the (kind of very advanced)
+network of that school together with a team of very interested and
+talented students in the age of 11 to 15 years, who took the chance to
+learn a lot about open source and networking before I left the school
+to help building another school's informational education concept from
+scratch.</p>
+
+<p>That said, one might see me as a kind of "glue" between school kids
+and the elderly of teachers as well as between the open source
+ecosystem and the (even more complex) educational ecosystem.</p>
+
+<p>When I am not busy with open source or education, I like Geocaching
+and cycling.</p>
+
+<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
+project?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I think that happened some time around 2009 when I first attended
+<a href="http://www.froscon.org">FrOSCon</a> and visited the project
+booth. I think I wasn't too interested back then because I used to
+have an attitude of disliking software that does too much stuff on its
+own. Maybe I was too inexperienced to realise the upsides of an
+"out-of-the-box" solution ;).</p>
+
+<p>The first time I actively talked to Skolelinux people was at
+<a href="http://www.openrheinruhr.de">OpenRheinRuhr</a> 2011 when the
+BiscuIT project, a home-grewn software used by my school for various
+really cool things from timetables and class contact lists to lunch
+ordering, student ID card printing and project elections first got to
+a stage where it could have been published. I asked the Skolelinux
+guys running the booth if the project were interested in it and gave a
+small demonstration, but there wasn't any real feedback and the guys
+seemed rather uninterested.</p>
+
+<p>After I left the school where I developed the software, it got
+mostly lost, but I am now reimplementing it for my new school. I have
+reusability and compatibility in mind, and I hop there will be a new
+basis for contributing it to the Skolelinux project ;)!</p>
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>The most important advantage seems to be that it "just
+works". After overcoming some minor (but still very annoying) glitches
+in the installer, I got a fully functional, working school network,
+without the month-long hassle I experienced when setting all that up
+from scratch in earlier years. And above that, it rocked - I didn't
+have any real hardware at hand, because the school was just founded
+and has no money whatsoever, so I installed a combined server (main
+server, terminal services and workstation) in a VM on my personal
+notebook, bridging the LTSP network interface to the ethernet port,
+and then PXE-booted the Windows notebooks that were lying around from
+it. I could use 8 clients without any performance issues, by using a
+tiny little VM on a tiny little notebook. I think that's enough to say
+that it rocks!</p>
+
+<p>Secondly, there are marketing reasons. Life's bad, and so no
+politician will ever permit a setup described as "Debian, an universal
+operating system, with some really cool educational tools" while they
+will be jsut fine with "Skolelinux, a single-purpose solution for your
+school network", even if both turn out to be the very same thing (yes,
+this is unfair towards the Skolelinux project, and must not be taken
+too seriously - you get the idea, anyway).</p>
+
+<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
+Edu?</strong></p>
+
+<p>I have not been involved with Skolelinux long enough to really
+answer this question in a fair way. Thus, please allow me to put it in
+other words: "What do you expect from Skolelinux to keep liking it?" I
+can list a few points about that:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+ <li>always strive to get all things integrated into Debian upstream
+ <li>be open to discussion about changes and the like, even with newcomers
+ <li>be helpful at being helpful ;)
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>I'm really sorry I cannot say much more about that :(!</p>
+
+<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
+
+<p>First of all, all software I use is free and open. I have abandoned
+all non-free software (except for firmware on my darned phone) this
+year.</p>
+
+<p>I run Debian GNU/Linux on all PC systems I use. On that, I mostly
+run text tools. I use
+<a href="https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm">mksh</a> as shell,
+<a href="https://www.mirbsd.org/jupp.htm">jupp</a> as very advanced
+text editor (I even got the developer to help me write a script/macro
+based full-featured student management software with the two),
+<a href="http://mcabber.com/">mcabber</a> for XMPP and
+<a href="http://www.irssi.org/">irssi</a> for IRC. For that overly
+coloured world called the WWW, I use
+<a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/">Iceweasel
+(Firefox)</a>. Oh, and <a href="http://www.mutt.org/">mutt</a> for
+e-mail.</p>
+
+<p>However, while I am personally aware of the fact that text tools
+are more efficient and powerful than anything else, I also use (or at
+least operate) some tools that are suitable to bring open source to
+kids. One of these things is <a href="http://jappix.org/">Jappix</a>,
+which I already introduced to some kids even before they got aware of
+Facebook, making them see for themselves that they do not need
+Facebook now ;).</p>
+
+<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
+
+<p>Well, that's a two-sided thing. One side is what I believe, and one
+side is what I have experienced.</p>
+
+<p>I believe that the right strategy is showing them the benefits. But
+that won't work out as long as the acceptance of free alternatives
+grows globally. What I mean is that if all the kids are almost forced
+to use Windows, Facebook, Skype, you name it at home, they will not
+see why they would want to use alternatives at school. I have seen
+students take seat in front of a fully-functional, modern Debian
+desktop that could do anything their Windows at home could do, and
+they jsut refused to use it because "Linux sucks". It is something
+that makes the council of our city spend around 600000 € to buy
+software - not including hardware, mind you - for operating school
+networks, and for installing a system that, as has been proved, does
+not work. For those of you readers who are good at maths, have you
+already found out how many lives could have been saved with that money
+if we had instead used it to bring education to parts of the world
+that need it? I have, and found it to be nothing less dramatic than
+plain criminal.</p>
+
+<p>That said, the only feasible way appears to be the bottom up
+method. We have to bring free software to kids and parents. I have
+founded an association named
+<a href="https://www.teckids.org">Teckids</a> here in Germany that does
+just that. We organise several events for kids and adolescents in the
+area of free and open source software, for example the
+<a href="http://kids.froscon.org">FrogLabs</a>, which share staff with
+Teckids and are the youth programme of
+<a href="http://www.froscon.org">the Free and Open Source Software
+Conference (FrOSCon)</a>. We do a lot more than most other conferences
+- this year, we first offered the FrogLabs as a holiday camp for kids
+aged 10 to 16. It was a huge success, with approx. 30 kids taking part
+and learning with and about free software through a whole weekend. All
+of us had a lot of fun, and the results were really exciting.</p>
+
+<p>Apart from that, we are preparing a campaign that is supposed to bring
+the message of free alternatives to stuff kids use every day to them and
+their parents, e.g. the use of Jabber / Jappix instead of Facebook and
+Skype. To make that possible, we are planning to get together a team of
+clever kids who understand very well what their peers need and can bring
+it across to them. So we will have a peer-driven network of adolescents
+who teach each other and collect feedback from the community of minors.
+We then take that feedback and our own experience to work closely with
+open source projects, such as Skolelinux or Jappix, at improving their
+software in a way that makes it more and more attractive for the target
+group. At least I hope that we will have good cooperation with
+Skolelinux in the future ;)!</p>
+
+<p>So in conclusion, what I believe is that, if it weren't for the world
+being so bad, it should be very clear to the political decision makers
+that the only way to go nowadays is free software for various reasons,
+but I have learnt that the only way that seems to work is bottom up.</p>
+
+<!--
+
+> * Who should be interviewed with this questions in the future?
+
+That's probably the hardest question of them all, as I do not know the
+community. However, I would be willing to do the following:
+
+ <li>Run an interview with a German headteacher who is very open to
+ free software, and also prefers it, but cannot really use it because
+ of the decision makers above;
+ <li>Run interviews with some kids, both with and without previous
+ knowledge about free software
+
+If that is wanted, just let me know ;).
+
+-->

-I just discovered that <a href="http://pcwizz.net/">Pcwizz</a> have
-done a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPzTZ61Pcuc">video
-review</a> on Youtube of <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux
-/ Debian Edu</a> version 6. He installed the standalone profile and
-the video show a walk-through of of the menu content, demonstration of
-a few programs and his view of our distribution.</p>
-
-<p>There is also some really nice quotes (transcribed by me, might
-have heard wrong). While looking thought the Graphics menu:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-"Basically everything you ever need in a school environment."
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>And as a general evaluation of the entire distribution:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-"So, yeah, a bit bloated. It kept all the Debian stuff in there, just
-to keep it nice and GNU. So, I do not want to go on about it, but
-lets give it 7 out of 10. I am not going to use it. That is because
-I am not deploying a school network. There may be some mythical
-feature to help you deploy Skolelinux on a school network."
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>To bad he did not test the server profile, and discovered the PXE
-installation option. It make it possible to install only the main
-server from CD, and the rest of the machines via the net, and might be
-considered the mythical feature he talk about. :)</p>
-
-<p>While looking through the menus, there is also this funny comment
-about the part of the K menu generated from the Debian menu subsystem:
-
-<blockquote>
-"[The K menu] have a special Debian section for software that no-one
-is going to look at, because it contain lots of junky stuff that you
-actually don't need in the education distribution, but have just been
-included because it isn't stripped out for some reason."
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>I guess it is yet another argument for merging the Debian menu and
-Gnome/KDE desktop menu entries into
-<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/DebianMenuUsingDesktopEntries">one
-consistent menu system</a> instead of two incomplete and partly
-inconsistent menu systems.</p>

+ <description><p>Helga 18. og 19. januar 2014 arrangeres
+<a href="http://makerfaireoslo.no/no/program/dugnadsnett">Oslo Maker
+Faire</a>, og <a href="http://www.dugnadsnett.no/">Dugnadsnett for
+alle</a> har fått plass! Planen er å ha et bord med en plakat der vi
+forteller om hva Dugnadsnett for alle er for noe, og et lite verksted
+der vi hjelper folk som er interessert i å få opp sin egen mesh-node.
+Jeg gleder meg til å se hvordan prosjektet blir mottatt der.</p>
+
+<p>Målet med dugnadsnett for alle i Oslo er å få på plass et datanett
+for kommunikasjon ved hjelp av radio-repeaterstasjoner (kalt
+mesh-noder) som gjør at en kan direkte kommunisere med slekt, venner
+og bekjente i Oslo via andre som deltar i dugnadsnettet, samt gjøre
+det mulig komme ut på internett via dugnadsnettet. Første delmål er å
+kunne sende SMS-meldinger vha. IP-telefoni løsningen
+<a href="http://www.servalproject.org/">Serval project</a> mellom
+deltagerne i Dugnadsnett for alle i Oslo. Formålet er å ta tilbake
+kontrollen over egen nett-infrastruktur og gjøre det dyrere å bedrive
+massiv innsamling av informasjon om borgernes bruk av datanett.</p>
+
+<p>Høres dette interessant ut? Bli med på prosjektet, fortell oss
+hvor du kunne tenke deg å sette opp en radio-repeater (slik at folk i
+nærheten kan finne hverandre ved hjelp av
+<a href="http://flynor.net/mesh/mesh.php">kartet over planlagte og
+eksisterende radio-repeatere</A>), bli med på epostlisten
+<a href="http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/dugnadsnett">dugnadsnett
+(at) nuug.no</a> og stikk innom
+<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#dugnadsnett.no">IRC-kanalen
+#dugnadsnett.no</a>. Så langt er det planlagt over 40
+radio-repeatere, med VPN-forbindelser via Internet for å la de delene
+av nettet som ikke når hverandre via radio kunne snakke med hverandre
+likevel.</p>
