+ <description><p>I fjor sommer ble jeg
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Gladoppslag_om_Skolelinux_i_avisen_Fremover.html">gledelig
+overrasket</a> over et oppslag i avisen Fremover om Narvik kommunes
+bruk av <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>. Oppslaget
+var basert på et notat som besvarte spørsmål fra ordfører Tor Nysæter
+og rådgiver for skolesektoren, Petter Falkbu, om bruken av Skolelinux
+i Narvikskolene og konstnaden ved å gå over til Windows. For litt
+over en uke siden siden fikk jeg endelig bedt kommunen om å få innsyn
+i dette notatet, og det ble oversendt på epost tirsdag. Jeg fikk
+<a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-Narvik-kommune/2013-04-29-09:12-skolelinux-notat/PetterFalkbuogwindowsfornarvikskolen%20(L)351310.pdf">lagt
+ut notatet</a> samme dag, og fikk i dag sjekket postlista til Narvik,
+der jeg fant notatet som
+<a href="https://www.narvik.kommune.no/innsyn.aspx?response=arkivsak_detaljer&arkivsakid=2013001023&scripturi=/innsyn.aspx&skin=infolink&Mid1=301&">sak
+2013/1023</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Notatet forteller at Narvik ville måtte betalt minst 9 millioner
+for å gå over til Windows på skolene. I tillegg dokumenterer notatet
+at læreplanens krav oppfylles uten problemer ved bruk av Skolelinux.
+Jeg anbefaler alle å lese de 10 sidene med gode argumenter for å kutte
+unødige utgifter på IT i skoleverket. :)</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>
