-               <title>Litt informasjon om Bitfactorys Bensinpris-API</title>
-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Litt_informasjon_om_Bitfactorys_Bensinpris_API.html</link>

-                <pubDate>Mon, 28 May 2012 23:55:00 +0200</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I fjor siden lanserte Bitfactory en
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitfactory.no/bensinpris.html&quot;&gt;mobilapp for å få
-tilgang til bensinpriser&lt;/a&gt; på landets bensinstasjoner ved å samle
-inn prisene på dugnad ved hjelp av mobilapp-ens brukere.
-Informasjonen app-ens brukere har samlet inn har så langt kun vært
-tilgjengelig for brukerne av app-ene, og API for å hente ut
-informasjonen fra andre plattformer har ikke vært publisert.  Da
-løsningen kom spurte jeg utviklerne om de kunne publisere
-API-dokumentasjon og de skulle se på saken, men det har ikke skjedd så
-langt.  Jeg antar de har vært for travelt opptatt til å publisere
-API-dokumentasjon.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Utrolig nok er det i følge
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dn.no/energi/article2194526.ece&quot;&gt;Dagens
-Næringsliv&lt;/a&gt; og
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.finnmarkdagblad.no/nyheter/article5323140.ece&quot;&gt;Finnmark
-Dagbladet&lt;/a&gt; bensinstasjoner som nekter å oppgi prisene sine på
-telefon, slik at det ikke finnes en fornuftig måte å få tak i prisene
-på uten å samle dem inn på stedet.  Flere har dugnader på gang for å
-samle inn prisinformasjon om bensin, men så vidt jeg kan se er det kun
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dinside.no/php/oko/bensin/vis_prisliste.php&quot;&gt;dinside.no&lt;/a&gt;
-og Bitfactorys App som får regelmessige oppdateringer.  Dinsides
-oversikt er tilgjengelig på web for de som vil følge med, mens
-bitfactorys informasjon ikke er like enkelt tilgjengelig.&lt;p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg tok meg derfor litt tid for å revers-utvikle protokollen for
-Bitfactorys mobilapp for å gjøre den innsamlede informasjonen mer
-tilgjengelig for flere.  Protokollen bruker HTTP og normal
-forms-notasjon for POST.  Jeg lot en telefon koble seg til mitt
-trådløsnett, og satte opp tcpdump til å samle all trafikken mot
-www.bitfactory.no, og deretter tittet på alle HTTP-kallene ved hjelp
-av wireshark.  Her er API-kallene jeg har identifisert så langt.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;stasjonsDatabaseUpdateStamp&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;tt&gt;GET http://www.bitfactory.no/Bensin/ver1.1.stasjonsDatabaseUpdateStamp&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Vet ikke helt hva dette API-kallet gjør, men navnet gjør at jeg
-tror den rapporterer når listen over stasjoner sist ble endret.
-Returverdien er et tall som pr. 2011-12-09 er 1319145491 og
-pr. 2012-05-28 er 1336420693.  Mitt gjett er at dette er sekunder
-siden 1. januar 1970 ala det en finner på Linux, som kan konverteres
-til en leselig dato med &lt;tt&gt;perl -e &#39;print
-scalar(localtime(1319145491)), &quot;\n&quot;&#39;&lt;/tt&gt;.  Den første verdien
-konverterer da til &quot;Thu Oct 20 23:18:11 2011&quot;, mens den andre
-konverteres til &quot;Mon May 7 21:58:13 2012&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;GetXMLDatabase&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;tt&gt;echo password=X43uP9KS_3ZqR | POST http://www.bitfactory.no/Bensin/GetXMLDatabase.php
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;tt&gt;echo password=XYZXYZXYZXYZX | POST http://www.bitfactory.no/Bensin/GetXMLDatabase.php
-
-&lt;p&gt;Henter ned listen med stasjoner på XML-format.  Argumentet er
-password som muligens følger med i programpakken og eventuelt
-genereres av app-en.  Nedlasting med samme passord flere ganger ser
-ikke ut til å fungere.  Innholdet er ca. 1600 stasjoner, men manglet
-bensinstasjonen i min hjemkommune Ballangen da jeg sjekket, så den er
-ikke komplett.  Formatet på selve listen ser slik ut (klippet):&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;pre&gt;
-&amp;lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&amp;gt;

-
-&lt;p&gt;Vet heller ikke helt hva dette API-kallet gjør.  Navnet gjør at jeg
-tror den rapporterer om telefonen med UDID oppgitt som argument er
-bannlyst fra tjenesten.  Bannlysning gjør antagelig at telefonen ikke
-kan brukes til å registrere bensinpriser, men det er også mulig det
-blokkerer for å se på priser.  Eneste POST-argument er UDID, som ser
-ut til å være den unike ID-en til en mobil-enhet.  Returnverdi er &#39;NO&#39;
-for alle UDID-verdier jeg har testet.  Gjetter på at alternativ
-returverdi er &#39;YES&#39;, men har ikke sett en slik verdi så langt.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PriserVedStasjoner&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;tt&gt;echo &#39;stasjoner=810,364&amp;day=0&#39; | POST http://www.bitfactory.no/Bensin/ver1.1.PriserVedStasjoner.php&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Dette kallet henter ut priser registrert på en eller flere
-bensinstasjoner.  Den tar to POST-argumenter, &quot;stasjoner&quot; som er
-kommaseparert liste over stasjons-IDer (numeriske), og &quot;day&quot; som bør
-settes til &quot;0&quot; for å få ut informasjon om priser.  Usikker på hva
-day-tallet betyr, men mistenker det har med hvor langt tilbake i tid
-det skal hentes ut informasjon.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Resultatet som kommer tilbake er en kommaseparert liste for hver
-enkelt stasjon, med &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; som skillemarkør mellom hver stasjon.
-Ikke helt sikker på hva alle feltene er.  Her er mine gjett:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;table&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;ht&gt;Felt&lt;/ht&gt;&lt;ht&gt;Beskrivelse&lt;/ht&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;1&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Bensinstasjons-ID&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;2&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pris for blyfri 95 oktan, flyttall med punktum som desimalskille.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Klokkeslett da prisen ble oppdatert, format HH:MM.  &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;4&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Telefon-ID på formen Android-123456789012345 eller hex-kodet streng/MD5-sum&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;5&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;tall, uviss betydning.  muligens relatert til day-verdien.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;6&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pris for blyfri 98-oktan?&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;7&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;samme som felt 3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;8&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;samme som felt 4&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;9&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;samme som felt 5&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;10&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Pris for disel&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;11&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Samme som felt 3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;12&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Samme som felt 4&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;13&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Samme som felt 5&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
-&lt;/table&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;En stasjonsoppføring består dermed av av bensinstasjons-ID og
-deretter tre blokker for 95-oktan bensin, 98-oktan bensin og
-disel.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PriserVedStasjon&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;tt&gt;echo &#39;id=736&amp;day=0&#39; | POST http://www.bitfactory.no/Bensin/ver1.1.PriserVedStasjon.php&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Ser ut til å returnere informasjon for en enkelt bensinstasjon.
-Formatet er dato på formen &quot;08_12_2011&quot; for 2011-12-08, og noe som ser
-ut som samme format som fra PriserVedStasjoner.  For stasjoner der
-intet er registrert returnerer den &quot;NO RESULTS&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AllePriser&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;tt&gt;echo day=0 | POST http://www.bitfactory.no/Bensin/ver1.1.AllePriser.php&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Returnere liste med av alle stasjoner det er registrert oppdaterte
-priser på siste 24 timer (eller er det fra ca. midnatt dagen før?).
-Returnerer &quot;NO RESULTS&quot; når listen er tom.  Ellers returnerer den en
-dato på formen &quot;Thursday_09_12_2011&quot; fulgt av &amp;lt;br&amp;gt; og deretter
-en liste med stasjoner på samme format som PriserVedStasjoner.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I am currently working on a
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;project
+to translate&lt;/a&gt; the book
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig
+to Norwegian.  And the source we base our translation on is the
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version, to
+allow us to use po4a and .po files to handle the translation, and for
+this to work well the docbook source document need to be properly
+tagged.  The source files of this project is 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;The problem is that the docbook source have flaws, and we have
+no-one involved in the project that is a docbook expert.  Is there a
+docbook expert somewhere that is interested in helping us create a
+well tagged docbook version of the book, and adjust our build process
+for the PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book?  This will provide a
+well tagged English version (our source document), and make it a lot
+easier for us to create a good Norwegian version.  If you can and want
+to help, please get in touch with me or fork the github project and
+send pull requests with fixes. :)&lt;/p&gt;

+               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Fri_programvare____fri__som_i__talefrihet___ikke_som_i__fri_bar_.html</link>

+                <pubDate>Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Et ofte brukt sitat i fri programvareverden er Stallman-sitatet
+«&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.en&quot;&gt;Free Software,
+&quot;free&quot; as in &quot;free speech&quot;, not as in &quot;free beer&quot;&lt;/a&gt;».  Men det er
+ikke direkte overførbart til norsk, da det baserer seg på koblingen
+gratis/fri på engelsk.  En direkte oversettelse ville være «Fri
+programvare, &quot;fri&quot; som i &quot;talefrihet&quot;, ikke som &quot;gratis øl&quot;», og det
+går jo glipp av poenget.  I forbindelse med at vi er
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html&quot;&gt;igang
+med å oversette&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt;
+av Lawrence Lessig, måtte jeg forsøke a finne en bedre
+oversettelse.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mitt forslag til oversettelse blir dermed å droppe ølet, og heller
+fokusere på det kjente norske uttrykket &quot;fri bar&quot;.  Dermed blir
+oversettelsen «Fri programvare - &quot;fri&quot; som i &quot;talefrihet&quot;, ikke som i
+&quot;fri bar&quot;».&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Noen som har bedre forslag?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Forøvrig bruker jeg fri programvare som et samlebegrep på norsk for
+begge de engelske uttrykkene Free Software og Open Source, jamfør
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/dokumenter/folder-friprogramvare.pdf&quot;&gt;NUUGs
+lille folder om temaet&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Da opphavsrettsloven ble revidert i forrige runde rundt 2005, var
+det skummelt å se hvor lite stortingsrepresentantene forsto hvordan
+Internet påvirket folks forhold til kulturuttrykk, og min venn Vidar
+og jeg spekulert på at det hadde kanskje vært fornuftig om samtlige
+representanter fikk en norsk utgave av boken
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; av Lawrence Lessig
+som forklarte litt om problemstillingene.  Vi endte opp med å
+prioritere utvikling i
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;-prosjektet i
+stedet, så den oversatte boken så aldri dagens lys.  Men i forrige uke
+ble jeg inspirert til å ta opp tråden og se om det er mulig å få til
+bokprosjektet denne gang, da det er tydelig at kulturdepartementet i
+sitt nye forsøk på å gjøre opphavsrettsloven enda mer ubalansert til
+fordel for forlag og store mediehus fortsatt trenger en annen vinkling
+i debatten.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Planen min er å oversette boka på dugnad, sette den opp for
+trykking med en av de mange
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trykk_på_forespørsel&quot;&gt;trykk på
+forespørsel&lt;/a&gt;-tjenestene, skaffe sponsor til å finansiere trykking
+til stortingsrepresentantene og alle som har bidratt med
+oversettelser.  Kanskje vi også kan få en avtale med et forlag om
+publisering når boka er ferdig?  Kommentarene til
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://newth.net/eirik/2011/04/01/e-selvpublisering/&quot;&gt;Eirik
+Newth&lt;/a&gt; og
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.espen.com/norskblogg/archives/2008/09/erfaringer_med_publishing_on_demand.html&quot;&gt;Espen
+Andersen&lt;/a&gt; om erfaringene med selvpublisering og trykk på
+forespørsel er interessante og ikke avskrekkende, og jeg mistenker at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lulu.com/&quot;&gt;Lulu&lt;/a&gt; er en grei leverandør av
+trykketjenester til prosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg har satt opp
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;et
+Github-prosjekt&lt;/a&gt; for a lage boken, basert på Docbook-utgaven jeg
+fant fra Hans Schou.  Skolelinux har hatt byggesystem for å lage
+oversatt HTML og PDF-utgave av Docbook-bøker i en årrekke, så jeg har
+kopiert og utvidet dette oppsettet.  Originalteksten er i Docbook, og
+oversettelsen gjøres i .po-filer med hjelp av vanlige
+oversetterverktøy brukt i fri programvareverden.  Dernest tar
+byggesystemet over og lager PDF og EPUB-utgave av den oversatte
+teksten.  Resultatet kan ses i Github-prosjektet.  For å komme raskt
+igang har jeg brukt maskinoversettelse av alle tekstbitene fra engelsk
+til norsk, noe som grovoversatte ca. 1300 av de ca. 1700 tekstbitene
+boken består av.  Jeg håper nå at flere kan bidra med å få
+oversettelsen på plass, slik at teksten kan være klar i løpet av
+høsten.  Når alt er oversatt må teksten gjennomgås for feil og
+konsistent språk.  Totalt er det nok mange timer som trengs for å
+gjennomføre oversettelsen.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Økonomien i dette er ikke avskrekkende.  169
+stortingsrepresentanter og nesten like mange varamedlemmer bør få
+bøker, og estimert produduksjonskostnad for hver bok er rundt 6 EURO i
+følge et raskt estimat fra Lulu.  Jeg vet ennå ikke hvor mange sider
+det blir i størrelsen 5,5&quot; x 8.5&quot; (det er ca. 140 sider i A4-format),
+så jeg gjettet på 400 sider.  Jeg tror originalutgaven har nesten 400
+sider.  For 169*2 eksemplarer snakker vi om en trykkekostnad på
+ca. 2000 EURO, dvs. ca 15 000 NOK.  Det burde være mulig å finne en
+sponsor for å dekke en slik sum.  I tillegg kommer distribusjon og
+porto, som antagelig kommer på like mye.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Kan du bidra med oversettelse og docbook-typesetting?  Ta kontakt
+og send patcher i github.  Jeg legger gjerne inn folk i prosjektet
+slik at du kan oppdatere direkte.&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 am a teacher from Germany, and my subjects are Geography,
-Mathematics, and Computer Science (&quot;Informatik&quot;). During the past 12
-years (since 2000), I have been working for a comprehensive (and soon,
-also inclusive) school leading to all kind of general levels, such as
-O- or A-level (&quot;Abitur&quot;).  For quite as long, I&#39;ve been taking care of
-our computer network.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Now, in my early 40s, I enjoy the privilege of spending a lot of my
-spare time together with my wife, our son (3 years) and our daughter
-(4 months).&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m a 44 year old country guy that have been working 12 years at
+the same school as 50% IT-manager and 50% Teacher. My educational
+background is fil.kand in history and religious beliefs, an exam as a
+&quot;folkhighschool&quot; teacher, that is, for teaching grownups.  In
+Norwegian I believe it&#39;s called &quot;Vuxenupplaring&quot;. I also have a master
+in &quot;Technology and social change&quot;. So I&#39;m not really a tech guy, I
+just like to study how humans and technology interact and that is my
+perspective when working with IT.&lt;/p&gt;

 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;We had tried different Linux based school servers, when members of
-my local Linux User Group (LUG OWL) detected Skolelinux. I remember
-very well, being part of a party celebrating the Linux New Media Award
-(&quot;Best Newcomer Distribution&quot;, also nominated: Ubuntu) that was given
-to Skolelinux at Linux World Exposition in Frankfurt, 2005 (IIRC). Few
-months later, I had the chance to join a developer meeting in Ulsrud
-(Oslo) and to hand out the award to Knut Yrvin and others.  For more
-than 7 years, Skolelinux is part of our schools infrastructure, namely
-our main server (tjener), one LTSP (today without thin clients), and
-approximately 50 work stations. Most of these have the option to boot a
-locally installed Skolelinux image.  As a consequence, I joined quite
-a few events dealing with free software or Linux, and met many Debian
-(Edu) developers. All of them seemed quite nice and competent to me,
-one more reason to stick to Skolelinux.&lt;/p&gt;
+I have followed the Skolelinux project for quite some time by
+now. Earlier I tested out the K12-LTSP project, which we used for some
+time, but I really like the idea of having a distribution aimed to be
+a complete solution for schools with necessary tools integrated. When
+K12-LTSP abandoned that idea some years ago, I started to look more
+seriously into Skolelinux instead.

 
 &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;Debian driven, you are given all the advantages of a community
-project including well maintained updates. Once, you are familiar with
-the network layout, you can easily roll out an entire educational
-computer infrastructure, from just one installation media. As only
-free software (FOSS) is used, that supports even elderly hardware,
-up-sizing your IT equipment is only limited by space (i.e. available
-labs).  Especially if you run a LTSP thin client server, your
-administration costs tend towards zero.&lt;/p&gt;
+The big point of Skolelinux to me is that it is a complete
+distribution, ready to install. It has LDAP-support, MS Windows
+integration tools and so forth already configured, saving an
+administrator a lot of time and headache. We were using another Linux
+based thin-client system called Thinlinc, that has served us very
+well. But that Skolelinux is based on VNC and LTSP, to me, is better
+when it comes to the kind of multimedia used in schools. That is
+showing videos from Youtube or educational TV. It is also easier to
+mix thin clients with workstations, since the user settings will be the
+same. In our VNC-based solution you had to &quot;beat around the bush&quot; by
+setting up a second, hidden, home-directory for user settings for the
+workstations, because they will be different from the ones used on the
+thin clients. Skolelinux support for diskless workstations are very
+convenient since a school today often need to use a class room
+projector showing videos in full screen. That is easily done with a
+small integrated media computer running as a diskless workstation. You
+have only two installs to update and configure. One for the thin
+clients and one for the workstations. Also saving a lot of time.  Our
+old system was also based on Redhat and CentOS. They are both very
+nice distributions, but they are sometimes painfully slow when it
+comes to updating multimedia support and multimedia programs (even
+such as Gimp), leaving us with a bit &quot;oldish&quot; applications. Debian is
+quicker to update.

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

-&lt;p&gt;While Debian&#39;s stability has loads of advantages for servers, this
-might be different in some cases for clients: Schools with unlimited
-budget might buy new hardware with components that are not yet
-supported by Debian stable, or wish to use more recent versions of
-office packages or desktop environments.  These schools have the
-option to run Debian testing or other distributions - if they have the
-capacity to do so.  Another issue is that Debian release cycles
-include a wide range of changes; therefor a high percentage of human
-power seems to be absorbed by just keeping the features of Skolelinux
-within the new setting of the version to come. During this process,
-the cogs of Debian Edu are getting more and more professional,
-i.e. harder to understand for novices.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Debian is a bit too quick when it comes to updating. As an example
+we use old HP terminals as thinclients, and two times already this
+year (2012) the updates you get from the repositories has stopped
+sound from working with them.  It&#39;s a kernel/ALSA issue. So you have
+to be more careful properly testing the updates before you run them in
+a production environment. This has never happened with CentOS.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I also would like to be able to set my own domain-settings at
+install time.  In Skolelinux they are kind of hard coded into the
+distribution, when it comes to LDAP and at least samba integration.
+That is more a cosmetic/translation issue, and not a real problem.
+Running MS Windows applications within the Skolelinux environment needs
+to be better supported. That is, running them seamlessly via RDP, and
+support for single-sign on.  That will make the transition to free
+software easier, because you can keep the applications you really
+need.  No support will make it impossible if you work in a school where
+some applications can&#39;t be open source. As for us we really need to
+run Adobe InDesign in our journalist classes.  We run a journalist
+education, and is one of the very few non university ones that is ok:d
+by Svenska journalistförbundet (Swedish journalist association).  Our
+education gives the pupils the right of membership there, once they
+are done.  This is important if you want to get a job.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Adobe InDesign is the program most commonly used in newspapers and
+magazines.  We used Quark Express before, but they seem to loose there
+market to Adobe. The only &quot;equivalent&quot; to InDesign in the opensource
+world is Scribus, and its not advanced enough. At least not according
+to the teacher. I think it would be possible to use it, because they
+are not supposed to learn a program, they are supposed to learn how to
+edit and compile a newspaper.  But politically at our school we are not
+there yet.  And Scribus lacks a lot of things you find i InDesign.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We used even a windows program for sound editing when it comes to
+the radio-journalist part. The year to come we are going to try
+Audacity. That software has the same kind of limitations compared to
+Adobe Audition, but that teacher is a bit more open minded. We have
+tried Ardour also, but that instead is more like a music studio
+program, not intended for the kind of editing taking place in a radio
+studio. Its way to complex and the GUI is to scattered when you only
+want to cut, make pass-overs, add extra channels and normalise.  Those
+things you can do in Audacity, but its not as easy as in Audition. You
+have to do more things manually with envelopes, and that is a bit old
+fashion and timewasting. Its also harder to cut and move sound from
+one channel to another, which is a thing that you do frequently
+because you often find yourself needing to rearrange parts of the
+sound file.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So, I am not sure we will succeed in replacing even Audition, but we
+will try.  The problem is the students have certain expectations when
+they start an education towards a profession.  So the programs has to
+look and feel professional.  Good thing with radio, there are many
+programs out there, that radio studios use, so its not as standardised
+as Newspaper editing. That means, it does not really matter what
+program they learn, because once they start working they still have to
+learn the program the studio uses, so instead focus has to be to learn
+the editing part without to much focus on a specific software.&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;LibreOffice, Wikipedia, Openstreetmap, Iceweasel (Mozilla Firefox),
-KMail, Gimp, Inkscape - and of course the Linux Kernel (not only on
-PC, Laptop, Mobile, but also our SAT receiver)&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Myself I&#39;m running Linux Mint, or Ubuntu these days.  I use almost
+only open source software, and preferably Linux based. When it comes
+to most used applications its OpenOffice, and Firefox (of course ;)
+)&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;&lt;ol&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Support computer science as regular subject in schools to make
-people really &quot;own&quot; their hardware, to make them understand the
-difference between proprietary software products, and free software
-developing.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Make budget baskets corresponding: In Germany&#39;s public schools
-there are more or less fixed budgets for IT equipment (including
-licenses), so schools won&#39;t benefit from any savings here. This
-privilege is left to private schools which have consequently a large
-share among German Skolelinux schools.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Get free software in the seminars where would-be teachers are
-trained. In many cases, teachers&#39; software customs are respected by
-decision makers rather than the expertise of any IT experts.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Don&#39;t stick to free software as to be run natively. Everybody uses
-free software or free licenses (for instance Wikipedia), and this
-general concept should get expanded to free educational content to be
-shared world wide (school books e.g.).&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Make clear where ever you can that the market share of free (libre)
-office suites is much above 20 p.c. today, and that you pupils don&#39;t
-need to know the &quot;ribbon menu&quot; in order to get employed.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Talk about the difference between freeware and free software.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Spread free software, or even collections of portable free apps
-for USB pen drives. Endorse students to get a legal copy of
-Libreoffice rather than accepting them to use illegal serials.  And
-keep sending documents in ODF formats.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;To get schools to use free software there has to be good open
+source software that are windows based, to ease the transition. But
+it&#39;s also very important that the multimedia support is working
+flawlessly.  The problems with Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and whatever
+will create problems when it comes to both teachers and
+students. Economy are also important for schools, so using thin
+clients, as long as they have good multimedia support, is a very good
+idea. It&#39;s also important that the open source software works even for
+the administration.  It&#39;s hard to convince the teachers to stick with
+open source, if the principal has to run Windows.  It also creates a
+problem if some classes has to use Windows for there tasks, since that
+will create a difference in &quot;status&quot; between classes, so a good
+support for running windows applications via the thin client (Linux)
+desktop is essential.  At least at our school, where we have mixed
+level of educations, from high-school to journalist-school.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2012-07-09 08:30: Paul Wise tipped me on IRC about three
+useful sources related to Free Software for radio stations: the LWN
+article &lt;a href=&quot;https://lwn.net/Articles/481607/&quot;&gt;Radio station
+management with Airtime&lt;/a&gt;,
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/&quot;&gt;Airtime&lt;/a&gt; which
+claim to be a Free open source radio automation software and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rivendellaudio.org/&quot;&gt;Rivendell&lt;/a&gt; which claim to
+be complete radio broadcast automation solution.  All of them seem
+useful to the aspiring radio producer.&lt;/p&gt;

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;I just come across a blog post from Glyn Moody reporting the
-claimed cost from Microsoft on requiring ODF to be used by the UK
-government.  I just sent him an email to let him know that his
-assumption are most likely wrong.  Sharing it here in case some of my
-blog readers have seem the same numbers float around in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Hi.  I just noted your
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/04/does-microsoft-office-lock-in-cost-the-uk-government-500-million/index.htm&quot;&gt;http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2012/04/does-microsoft-office-lock-in-cost-the-uk-government-500-million/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;
-comment:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;They&#39;re all in Danish, not unreasonably, but even
-with the help of Google Translate I can&#39;t find any figures about the
-savings of &quot;moving to a flexible two standard&quot; as claimed by the
-Microsoft email. But I assume it is backed up somewhere, so let&#39;s take
-it, and the £500 million figure for the UK, on trust.&quot;
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I can tell you that the Danish reports are inflated.  I believe it is
-the same reports that were used in the Norwegian debate around 2007,
-and Gisle Hannemyr (a well known IT commentator in Norway) had a look
-at the content.  In short, the reason it is claimed that using ODF
-will be so costly, is based on the assumption that this mean every
-existing document need to be converted from one of the MS Office
-formats to ODF, transferred to the receiver, and converted back from
-ODF to one of the MS Office formats, and that the conversion will cost
-10 minutes of work time for both the sender and the receiver.  In
-reality the sender would have a tool capable of saving to ODF, and the
-receiver would have a tool capable of reading it, and the time spent
-would at most be a few seconds for saving and loading, not 20 minutes
-of wasted effort.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Microsoft claimed all these costs were saved by allowing people to
-transfer the original files from MS Office instead of spending 10
-minutes converting to ODF. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;See

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://hannemyr.com/no/ms12.php&quot;&gt;http://hannemyr.com/no/ms12.php&lt;/a&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;In the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project, we have realised that one
+of the major blockers for the project success is the purchasing skills
+in schools and municipalities.  We provide what the happy users of
+Debian Edu / Skolelinux say they need and to a lower cost than the
+alternatives, and yet so few schools decide to use our solution.  I
+was pleased to discover the same observation done by mySociety and Tom
+Steinberg in his blog post
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysociety.org/2012/06/19/can-you-recognize-the-million-pound-chair/&quot;&gt;Can
+you recognize the million pound chair?&lt;/a&gt;&quot;.  Read it and weep for the
+spending of your tax money.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Of course there are other factors involved as well, like our
+projects bad marketing skills and the Linux community fragmentation
+causing worry with the people on the outside, so we as a project need
+to keep working hard to gain users, but it is a up-hill battle when
+public decision makers are unable to understand computer system
+purchases.&lt;/p&gt;

-standardkatalog v3.1 blitt
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.standard.difi.no/hoyring/hoyring-om-nye-anbefalte-it-standarder?tab=comments&quot;&gt;publisert

-fra Norges Blindeforbund&lt;/a&gt;, som 5 år etter at Klaus Knopper sammen

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20071211-accessibility/&quot;&gt;demonstrerte
-høyttalende OpenOffice.org på nynorsk for blinde&lt;/a&gt; på et NUUG-møte.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blindeforbundet.no/&quot;&gt;Norges Blindeforbund&lt;/a&gt;
-skriver følgende, som for meg virker å være formulert på sviktende
-grunnlag:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Bruk av fri programvare
-
-&lt;p&gt;I FRIPROGSENTERET, RAPPORT 2009-02: Universell utforming
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kunnskapsbazaren.no/filer/Friprogsenteret-Rapport-Universell_utforming.pdf&quot;&gt;http://www.kunnskapsbazaren.no/filer/Friprogsenteret-Rapport-Universell_utforming.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
-sies det &quot;Det finnes i dag ikke mange fri programvare-rammeverk eller
-generelle løsninger som støtter tilgjengelighet eller som er
-universelt utformet.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Til tross for at det gjennom prinsippene i fri programvare åpnes
-for større frihet til selv å påvirke programvareløsninger i retning av
-universell utforming viser praksis at virkeligheten er en annen.
-Mange av de mest alminnelige frie programvarepakkene mangler delvis
-eller fullstendig tilgjengelighet for mennesker med nedsatt
-syn. Eksempler på dette er OpenOffice og LibreOffice m.fl.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;En annen utfordring ved bruk av fri programvare kan være manglende
-kundestøtte og muligheter til opplæring i bruk av løsningen. Svaksynte
-og blinde har et høyere behov for denne typen støtte enn andre brukere
-ettersom mange av dem har behov for tilleggsprogramvare som skal
-fungere sammen med den opprinnelige programvaren, og ettersom man ikke
-har de samme muligheter for overblikk over grensesnittet som en seende
-bruker. I tillegg til dette kommer de mer tilgjengelighetstekniske
-utfordringene som ofte må løses i samarbeid med
-programvareleverandør/produsent.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Fri programvare er ikke på samme måte underlagt lovgivning gjennom
-for eksempel diskriminerings og tilgjengelighetsloven ettersom det
-ikke alltid finnes en produsent/tilbyder av tjenesten eller produktet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Norges Blindeforbund krever at universell utforming og
-brukskvalitet tas med som viktige hensyn i utredninger som ligger til
-grunn for valg av standarder som primært leder brukeren mot fri
-programvare. Et eksempel på dette er bruk av dokumentformatet ODF som
-leder brukeren i retning av OpenOffice, som er helt eller delvis
-utilgjengelig for svaksynte og blinde – noe avhengig av plattform og
-hjelpemiddelprogramvare.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Included in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
+Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; is a large collection of end user and school specific
+software.  It is one of the packages not installed by default but
+provided in the Debian archive for schools to install if they want to,
+is a system to automatically plan the school time table using
+information about available teachers, classes and rooms, combined with
+the list of required courses and how many hours each topic should
+receive.  The software is
+
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/&quot;&gt;named FET&lt;/a&gt;, and it provide a
+graphical user interface to input the required information, save the
+result in a fairly simple XML format, and generate time tables for
+both teachers and students.  It is available both for
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download.html&quot;&gt;Linux, MacOSX and
+Windows&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is &lt;a href=&quot;http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/features.html&quot;&gt;the
+feature list&lt;/a&gt;, liftet from the project web site:&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg håper noen involvert i OpenOffice.org og/eller LibreOffice tar
-kontakt med Norges Blindeforbund og oppklarer det som for meg virker å
-være en misforståelse, i og med at OpenOffice.org så vidt jeg vet
-fungerer fint også for blinde.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Jeg ble minnet på problemstillingen da jeg leste Slashdot-saken om
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/05/21/1417221/the-state-of-linux-accessibility&quot;&gt;The
-State of Linux Accessibility&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, som også hevder at Linux fungerer
-utmerket for blinde.&lt;/p&gt;

-musiker og mannen bak
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Manuals/Rosegarden/&quot;&gt;opplæringsdokumentene
-i Rosegarden&lt;/a&gt;
-(&lt;a href=&quot;http://maintainer.skolelinux.org/debian-edu-doc/nb/rosegarden-manual.html&quot;&gt;norsk
-utgave&lt;/a&gt;) for musikklærere, Alf Tonny Bätz, er neste mann ut i min
-intervjurunde av folkene bak Skolelinux-løsningen.  Jeg har kjent Alf
-Tonny siden vi møttes som barn på påskefjellet i Ofoten, og ble
-gledelig overrasket da han dukket opp i Skolelinux-prosjektet etter å
-ikke ha sett noe til ham på mange år.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg er utdannet kokk av yrke, og har utøvet yrket i 12 år.  Men
-etter at ryggen sa takk før seg, studerte jeg nettverksadministrasjon
-ved Næringsakademiet i Bergen årene 2008-2009 slik at jeg kunne
-forfølge en av mine største interesser - data.  Til daglig jobber jeg
-ved &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.narvikskolen.no/parken/&quot;&gt;Parken
-ungdomsskole&lt;/a&gt; med å drifte skolens PC-er. Har også litt
-musikkundervisning.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Mitt mål er å bevisstgjøre musikklærene mulighetene med de frie
-programmene som finnes i Skolelinux, blant annet Rosegarden.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Har i mange år drevet med musikk og en av grunnen til at Rosegarden
-falt i smak for min del, var fordi denne fungere og ligner mest på
-Windows-programmet (cubase) jeg jobbet mye med da jeg i mine yngre
-dager var «Windows fanatiker».  Ble introdusert til Linux av en kompis
-av meg for omtrent 14 år siden, og har bare blitt mer og mer glad i
-dette operativsystemet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Da jeg ble sykemeldt fra min gamle jobb, og måtte omskoleres,
-havnet jeg i 2007 sammen med Viggo Fedreheim på IKT-avdelingen i
-Narvik kommune, der ble jeg for første gang introdusert til
-Skolelinuxprosjektet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Skolelinux er enkelt å holde i drift og masse flotte programmer som
-geogebra, ktouch og kgeografi følger med pakken.  Man kan ta i bruk
-gamle PC-er igjen, slik at skoler med dårlig råd får opp en brukbar
-PC-park.  PC-er som er ca 6-9 år gamle fungere tilfredstillende, bare
-de har 512 MB RAM eller mer.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Ulempene er at noen av de pedagogiske programmene som lærene ønsker
-å bruke fungere dårlig med Linux.  Mye pga. av at disse programmene
-blir ikke laget til Linuxbaserte operativsystemer.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Video- og bilde-redigering har dessverre en del mangler, mange av
-programmene har en tendens til og krasje.  Det gjelder blant annet
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kdenlive.org/&quot;&gt;kdenlive&lt;/a&gt; og
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openshotvideo.com/&quot;&gt;openshot&lt;/a&gt;, for å nevne
-noen.  De er ikke stabile nok.  Når elevene kommer med filmsnutter de
-ønsker og jobbe med, så godtar ikke programmene filene, og når elevene
-jobber med redigering bare krasjer programmene uten forvarsel.  Det er
-for vanskelig å få noe som bare fungerer ut av boksen her. Når en elev
-plugger inn et videokamera eller fotoapparat så er det alltid noe som
-ikke vil fungere.  Programmene godtar ikke format, godtar ikke
-kameraet, osv., osv. Det er dessverre med på og dra ned en positiv
-opplevelse av bruk av fri programvare.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Man må ofte bruke flere en et video redigerings program før og få
-fullført en ønsket oppgave.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Eksempel:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Hvis det ene programmet ikke vil ta i mot videofilen klarer et
-annet det, men det programmet som klarer det kan ikke gjøre de samme
-oppgavene som det programmet som ikke ville ta i mot filen,
-Tilsvarende er det med foto, man må bruke flere programmer for å få
-et ferdig resultat. Til dags dato har jeg enda ikke funnet et video-
-og fotoprogram som kan tilfredstillende fullføre en oppgave.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Så man kan klare og fullføre en oppgave, men i verste fall må man
-innom 3-4 programmer for å få det til.  Så jeg har enda ikke til dags
-dato sett at et program fungere 100% til alt.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det programmet jeg har best erfaring til er
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://cinelerra.org/&quot;&gt;cinelerra&lt;/a&gt;, men dessverre har det
-også tendenser og krasje av og til uten grunn.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-Lydsystemet kan også være et mareritt.  Konkret snakker jeg om når du
-bruker for eksempel et smartboard, så følger det med USB-lydkort på
-disse.  Problemet ligger her i at systemet ikke vil velge rett
-lydkort, så man må inn med padevchooser for å sette opp PulseAudio
-til og velge at USB-lydkortet skal brukes.  Det blir for tungvindt for
-lærene, de ønsker at ting skal fungere med en gang. (min løsning på
-det problemet ble at jeg måtte deaktivere lydkortet som fantes på
-maskinen) men da må man bestandig slå på smartboard-tavla.
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-Programmene jeg bruker mest av er: Rosegarden, jack, qsynth, audacity,
-k3b, openttd og libreoffice.
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
-skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-Jeg tror det må bevisstgjøring av Skolene til, dvs. reklamere høylytt
-og fortelle og vise de andre skolene at frie programvarer faktisk
-fungere.  Jeg trur faktisk mange ikke vet at det finnes frie
-alternativer.

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;In january, I
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.cihar.com/archives/2012/01/17/colorhug-has-arrived/&quot;&gt;discovered
-the ColorHug&lt;/a&gt;, a USB dongle from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hughski.com/index.html&quot;&gt;Hughski&lt;/a&gt; to calibrate
-the color on a computer screen.  The software required is
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/colorhug-client.html&quot;&gt;included
-in Debian&lt;/a&gt;, and I decided back then to preorder from the next
-batch.  Yesterday I finally heard back from them, and got the
-opportunity to order.  Today I ordered mine, and eagerly await the
-delivery.  I hope it arrive next week, as I got a confirmation that it
-should go in the mail on monday. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to ensure the colors on the screen match the intended
-colors, I suggest you check out this cheap tool with free software
-drivers. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Fully automatic generation algorithm, allowing also
+    semi-automatic or manual allocation&lt;/li&gt;
+       
+  &lt;li&gt;Platform independent implementation, allowing running on
+    GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac and any system that Qt supports &lt;/li&gt;
+       
+  &lt;li&gt;Flexible modular XML format for the input file, allowing editing
+    with an XML editor or by hand (besides FET interface)&lt;/li&gt;
+       
+  &lt;li&gt;Import/export from CSV format&lt;/li&gt;
+       
+  &lt;li&gt;The resulted timetables are exported into HTML, XML and CSV
+    formats &lt;/li&gt;
+       
+  &lt;li&gt;Flexible students structure, organized into sets: years, groups
+    and subgroups. FET allows overlapping years and groups and
+    non-overlapping subgroups. You can even define individual students
+    (as separate sets)&lt;/li&gt;
+       
+  &lt;li&gt;Each constraint has a weight percentage, from 0.0% to 100.0%
+    (but some special constraints are allowed to have only 100% weight
+    percentage)&lt;/li&gt;
+       
+  &lt;li&gt;Limits for the algorithm (all these limits can be increased on
+    demand, as a custom version, because this would require a bit more
+    memory):
+    &lt;ul&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Maximum total number of hours (periods) per day: 60&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Maximum number of working days per week: 35&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Maximum total number of teachers: 6000&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Maximum total number of sets of students: 30000&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Maximum total number of subjects: 6000&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Virtually unlimited number of activity tags&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Maximum number of activities: 30000&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Maximum number of rooms: 6000&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Maximum number of buildings: 6000&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Possibility of adding multiple teachers and
+          students sets for each activity.  (it is possible
+          also to have no teachers or no students sets for an
+          activity)&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Virtually unlimited number of time constraints&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Virtually unlimited number of space constraints&lt;/li&gt;
+    &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+  &lt;li&gt;A large and flexible palette of time constraints:
+    &lt;ul&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Break periods&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;For teacher(s):
+        &lt;ul&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;Not available periods&lt;/li&gt;

+         &lt;li&gt;Max hours daily/continuously&lt;/li&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;Min hours daily&lt;/li&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;Max hours daily/continuously with an activity tag&lt;/li&gt;
+
+         &lt;li&gt;Respect working in an hourly interval a max number of

+         &lt;li&gt;Not available periods&lt;/li&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;Begins early (specify max allowed beginnings at second hour)&lt;/li&gt;

+       &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;For an activity or a set of activities/subactivities:
+        &lt;ul&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;A single preferred starting time&lt;/li&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;A set of preferred starting times&lt;/li&gt;

+         &lt;li&gt;Same starting time/day/hour&lt;/li&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;Occupy max time slots from selection (a complex and
+           flexible constraint, useful in many situations)&lt;/li&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;Consecutive, ordered, grouped (for 2 or 3 (sub)activities)&lt;/li&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;Not overlapping&lt;/li&gt;

+
+  &lt;li&gt;A large and flexible palette of space constraints:
+    &lt;ul&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;Room not available periods&lt;/li&gt;
+      &lt;li&gt;For teacher(s):
+        &lt;ul&gt;
+         &lt;li&gt;Home room(s)&lt;/li&gt;

+  &lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I have not used it myself, as I am not involved in time table
+planning at a school, but it seem to work fine when I test it.  If you
+need to set up your schools time table, and is tired of doing it
+manually, check it out. 
+
+A quick summary on how to use it can be found in

-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Peter Hidas fra Gartner melder i Computerworld at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article245011.ece&quot;&gt;Unix
-nedkjempes av Linux og Windows&lt;/a&gt;.  For meg er påstanden meningsløs,
-da Linux er en variant av Unix, og hele diskusjonen om Linux er Unix
-eller ikke er utdatert og uinteressant.  Jeg ser at Helge Skrivervik
-deler mitt syn på saken i sin kommentar fra i går om at
-&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mymayday.com/blogs/2012/unix-linux&quot;&gt;Unix vs. Linux
-= uinteressant&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt;-sammenheng møter jeg av og
-til folk som tror NUUG er for avdankede folk som driver med den samme
-Unix-varianten som Peter Hidas skriver om i sin kommentar, og dermed
-er en foreningen for avdankede teknologer interessert i døende
-teknologi.  Intet kunne være lengre fra sannheten.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;NUUG er en forening for oss som har sans for fri programvare, åpne
-standarder og Unix-lignende operativsystemer, som Ubuntu, FreeBSD,
-Debian, Mint, Gentoo, Android, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, Firefox, LibreOffice,
-ODF, HTML, C++, ECMA-Script, etc.  Kort sagt der nyskapning skjer på
-IT-fronten i dag.  Det innebærer selvfølgelig også de som er
-interessert i de &quot;gamle&quot; Unix-ene som Solaris og HP-UX, men de er bare
-et lite mindretall blant NUUGs medlemmer.  De aller fleste medlemmene
-har i dag fokus på Linux.&lt;/p&gt;

+jeg leserne i undring&lt;/a&gt; om hvor pakken fra MPEG-LA tok veien, og om
+hvilke selskaper i Norge som har avtale med MPEG-LA.  Da Ryan hos
+MPEG-LA dro på ferie sendte jeg min melding videre til hans kollega,
+og dagen etter fikk jeg følgende svar derfra:&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;p&gt;Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your message. As you know, Ryan is currently our of the

+
+&lt;p&gt;Selv om et epostvedlegg er nyttig for mottakeren, så håpet jeg å få
+et dokument jeg kunne dele med alle leserne av bloggen min, og ikke et
+som må deles på individuell basis.  Opphavsretten krever godkjenning
+fra rettighetsinnehaver før en kan gjøre slikt, så dermed fulgte jeg
+opp med et spørsmål om dette var greit.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; provided by MPEG LA may be used.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is useful for me to learn, but the reason I asked for the
+Internet address of the licensing document was to ensure I could
+publish a link to it when I discuss the topic of H.264 licensing here
+in Norway, and allow others to verify my observations.  I can not do
+the same with an email attachment.  Thus I would like to ask you if it
+is OK with MPEG LA that I publish this document on the Internet for
+others to read?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; To your question, MPEG LA lists our Licensees on our website
+&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; according to each program. The lists are in alphabetical order, so
+&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; it is very easy to search.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I am afraid this do not help me locate Norwegian companies in the
+list of Licensees.  I do not know the name of all companies and
+organisations in Norway, and thus do not know how to locate the
+Norwegian ones on that list.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; I hope that this was helpful. If we can be of additional assistance,
+&lt;br&gt;&amp;gt; please let me know.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Absoutely helpful to learn more about how MPEG LA handle licensing.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;--
+&lt;br&gt;Happy hacking
+&lt;br&gt;Petter Reinholdtsen&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg håpet også at det skulle være mulig å få vite hvilke av de
+mange hundre som har avtale med MPEG-LA om bruk av H.264 som holdt til
+i Norge.  Begge mine håp falt i grus med svaret fra MPEG-LA.

+
+&lt;p&gt;Dear Mr. Reinholdtsen,&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your reply.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We appreciate the additional explanation you have provided and for
+asking our permission to publish the electronic copy of the License in
+advance of doing so.  Typically, MPEG LA prefers to distribute the
+electronic copies of our Licenses to interested parties. Therefore,
+please feel free to send interested parties to the AVC portion of our
+website, http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Intro.aspx for
+their further reference.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As previously mentioned, MPEG LA maintains a list of Licensees in good
+standing on our website according to each program. Due to the large
+volume of Licensees, it would be administratively impractical to
+provide this level of detail to interested parties.  Therefore, I am
+afraid we are not in a position to assist you with your request.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Kind regards,&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Sidney A. Wolf
+&lt;br&gt;Manager, Global Licensing
+&lt;br&gt;MPEG LA&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Men takket være epostvedlegget kunne jeg søke på Google etter
+setningen &quot;WHEREAS, a video standard commonly referred to as AVC has
+been defined and is referred to in this Agreement as the “AVC
+Standard” (as more fully defined herein below)&quot; som finnes i avtalen,
+og lokalisere en kopi fra 2007 av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1342960/000119312509050004/dex1024.htm&quot;&gt;lisensavtalen
+mellom MPEG-LA og DivX, Inc.&lt;/a&gt;, slik at mine lesere kan se hvordan
+avtalen så ut da.  Jeg har ikke sammenlignet tekstene for å se om noe
+har endret seg siden den tid, men satser på at teksten er representativ.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg aner fortsatt ikke hvor FedEx tok veien med pakken fra
+MPEG-LA.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2012-07-06: Jeg er visst ikke den første som forsøker å få
+klarhet i problemstillinger rundt H.264, og kom nettopp over en veldig
+interessant bloggpost fra 2010 hos LibreVideo med tittelen
+&quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.librevideo.org/blog/2010/06/14/mpeg-la-answers-some-questions-about-avch-264-licensing/&quot;&gt;MPEG-LA
+answers some questions about AVC/H.264 licensing&lt;/a&gt;.  Anbefales!&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;Basert på innsamlet leveringsfrekvens har jeg så sendt spørsmål til
+den offisielle epostadressen til de som har lavest leveringsfrekvens,
+og spurt dem hva som skjer.  Her er svarene jeg har fått så langt, som
+et knippe forklaringer til hvorfor det kan gå lang tid før offentlige
+postjournaler blir tilgjengelig for innbyggerne og pressen.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;My name is Jürgen Leibner, I&#39;m 49 years old and living in
-Bielefeld, a town in northern Germany.  I worked nearly 20 years as
-certified engineer in the department for plant design and layout of an
-international company for machinery and equipment.  Since 2011 I&#39;m a
-certified technical writer (tekom e.V.) and doing technical
-documentations for a steam turbine manufacturer.  From April this year
-I will manage the department of technical documentation at a
-manufacturer of automation and assembly line engineering.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Norges geologiske undersøkelse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;My first contact with linux was around 1993. Since that time I used
-it at work and at home repeatedly but not exclusively as I do now at
-home since 2006.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;p&gt;Subject: Hvor ofte leverer Norges geologiske undersøkelse til Offentlig Elektronisk postjournal?
+&lt;br&gt;Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2012 09:20:57 +0200&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;Hei.  Jeg har et lite spørsmål til dere.  Fra statistikken til Offentlig
+Eletronisk Postjournal (OEP) ser jeg det er lenge siden NGU leverte
+postjournalen sin sist.  Hvor ofte pleier NGU å levere til Offentlig
+Eletronisk Postjournal?  Er dere fornøyd med dagens leveringfrekvens?&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Once a day in the early year of 2001 when I wanted to fetch my
-daughter from primary school, there was a teacher sitting in the
-middle of 20 old computers trying to boot them and he failed. I helped
-him to get them booting. That was seen by the school director and she
-asked me if I would like to manage that the school gets all that old
-computers in use. I answered: &quot;Yes&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Some weeks later every of the 10 classrooms had one computer
-running Windows98. I began to collect old computers and equipment as
-gifts and installed the first computer room with a peer-to-peer
-network. I did my work at school without being payed in my spare time
-and with a lot of fun.  About one year later the school was connected
-to Internet and a local area network was installed in the school
-building.  That was the time to have a server and I knew it must be a
-Linux server to be able to fulfil all the wishes of the teachers and
-being able to do this in a transparent and economic way, without extra
-costs for things like licence and software.  So I searched for a
-school server system running under Linux and I found a couple of
-people nearby who founded &#39;skolelinux.de&#39;. It was the Skolelinux
-prerelease 32 I first tried out for being used at the school.  I
-managed the IT of that school until the municipal authority took over
-the IT management and centralised the services for all schools in
-Bielefeld in December of 2006.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;hr/&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;Subject: SV: Hvor ofte leverer Norges geologiske undersøkelse til Offentlig Elektronisk postjournal?
+&lt;br&gt;Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2012 12:49:35 +0200&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;When I&#39;m looking back to the beginning, there were other advantages
-for me as today.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;In the past there were advantages like:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;NGUS fravær på OEP skyldes problemer vi har i forbindelse med
+oppgradering til ny versjon i vårt arkivsystem. Det jobbes med saken
+og jeg tror og håper at det snart skal være i orden. Normalt leverer
+vi til OEP 1 gang i uken.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medietilsynet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Subject: Hvor ofte leverer Medietilsynet til Offentlig Elektronisk postjournal?
+&lt;br&gt;Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 13:29:23 +0200&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;I don&#39;t need to buy it so it generates no costs to the school as
-they had little money to spent for computers and software.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Jeg har et lite spørsmål til dere.  Fra statistikken til Offentlig
+Eletronisk Postjournal (OEP) ser jeg det er lenge siden Medietilsynet
+leverte postjournalen sin sist.  Hvor ofte pleier Medietilsynet å levere
+til Offentlig Eletronisk Postjournal?  Er dere fornøyd med dagens
+leveringfrekvens?&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;It has a licence which grands all rights to use it without
-cost.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;hr&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Subject: SV: Hvor ofte leverer Medietilsynet til Offentlig Elektronisk postjournal?
+&lt;br&gt;Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2012 04:55:42 +0000&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;It was more able to fit all requirements of a server system for
-schools than a Microsoft server system, even if there are only Windows
-clients because of it&#39;s preconfigured overall concept of being a
-infrastructure solution and community for schools, not only a
-server&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei!&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;I was able to configure the server to the needs of the
-school.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Medietilsynet leverer normalt postlister en gang i uka.  Nå har vi
+tekniske problemer, derfor er vi forsinket.  Vi regner med å levere i
+løpet av denne uken. Ellers er vi fornøyd med dagens
+leveringsfrekvens.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kunnskapsdepartementet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Subject: Hvor ofte leverer Kunnskapsdepartementet til Offentlig Elektronisk Postjournal?
+&lt;br&gt;Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:03:01 +0200&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;Today some of the advantages has been lost, changed or new ones
-came up in this way:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Jeg har et lite spørsmål til dere.  Fra statistikken til Offentlig
+Eletronisk Postjournal (OEP) ser jeg at Kunnskapsdepartementet har levert
+postjournalen sin to ganger siden 2012-05-10, og sist 2012-05-16.  Hvor
+ofte pleier Kunnskapsdepartementet å levere til Offentlig Eletronisk
+Postjournal?  Er dere fornøyd med dagens leveringfrekvens?&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;hr/&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;Most schools here do have money to buy hardware and software
-now.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Subject: Re: Hvor ofte leverer Kunnskapsdepartementet til Offentlig Elektronisk Postjournal?
+&lt;br&gt;Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:42:23 +0200&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;They are today mostly managed from central IT departments which
-have own concepts which often do not fit to Debian Edu concepts
-because they are to close to Microsoft ideology.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Kom denne eposten frem?  Har ikke sett noe svar, og andre
+institusjoner jeg har spurt om tilsvarende har svart i løpet av under en
+dag på tilsvarende spørsmål, så jeg begynner å lurer på om meldingen
+gikk tapt.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;With the Squeeze version of Debian Edu which now uses GOsa² for
-management I feel more able to manage the daily tasks than with the
-interfaces used in the past.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;[... kopi av opprinnelig epost ...]&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;It is more modular than in the past and fits even better to the
-different needs.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;hr/&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Subject: Re: VS: Hvor ofte leverer Kunnskapsdepartementet til Offentlig Elektronisk Postjournal?
+&lt;br&gt;Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:33:20 +0000&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;The documentation is usable and gets better every day.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei!&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;More people than ever before are using Debian Edu all over the
-world and so the community, which is an very important part I think,
-is sharing knowledge and minds.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Normalt leverer vi hver virkedag til OEP, med fem virkedagers
+forsinkelse.  Kunnskapsdepartementet har imidlertid ikke kunnet levere
+OEP pga innføringen av nytt saksbehandlingssystem 7. Mai.  Den
+etterfølgende streiken medførte så et større etterslep på
+journalføring som har gjort at vi har måttet prioritere dette fremfor
+offentlig journal.  Dette arbeidet har av flere sammenfallende årsaker
+tatt noe tid.  Vi håper imidlertid på at vi kan begynne å publisere
+offentlig journal igjen i løpet av denne uken, senest neste uke.  Vi
+gjenopptar da vår vanlige publiseringsfrekvens i tillegg til å få på
+plass de manglende journalene.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;Most, maybe all, of the technical requirements for schools are
-solved today by Debian Edu. &lt;/li&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Jeg har et lite spørsmål til dere.  Fra statistikken til
+Offentlig Eletronisk Postjournal (OEP) ser jeg det går lenge hver gang
+Norsk Akkreditering leverer postjournalen sin.  Hvor ofte pleier Norsk
+Akkreditering å levere til Offentlig Eletronisk Postjournal?  Er dere
+fornøyd med dagens leveringfrekvens?&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;There are too few IT companies able to integrate Debian Edu into
-their product portfolio for serving schools with concepts or even
-whole municipality areas.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;hr/&gt;

 
 

-&lt;li&gt;Debian Edu has beside other free and open software projects not
-enough lobbyists which promote free and open software to
-politicians.&lt;/li&gt;

-&lt;li&gt;Technically there are no disadvantages I&#39;m aware of.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei,&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Norsk Akkreditering har som ambisjon å levere til OEP 2 ganger i
+uken. Pga sykdom har dette vært vanskelig å gjennomføre i juni.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&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;&lt;strong&gt;Toll- og avgiftsdirektoratet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;I use Debian stable on my home server and on my little desktop
-computer. On my laptop I use Debian testing/sid. The applications I
-use on my laptop and my desktop are Open/Libre-office, Iceweasel,
-KMail, DigiKam, Amarok, Dolphin, okular and all the other programs I
-need from the KDE environment.  On console I use newsbeuter, mutt,
-screen, irssi and all the other famous and useful tools.&lt;/p&gt;

 
 

-&lt;p&gt;My home server provides mail services with exim, dovecot, roundcube
-and mutt over ssh on the console, file services with samba, NFS,
-rsync, web services with apache, moinmoin-wiki, multimedia services
-with gallery2 and mediatomb and database services with MySQL for me
-and the whole family.  I probably forgot something.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Hei.  Jeg har et lite spørsmål til dere.  Fra statistikken til
+Offentlig Eletronisk Postjournal (OEP) ser jeg det går lenge hver gang
+Toll- og avgiftsdirektoratet leverer postjournalen sin til OEP, og at
+siste levering var 2012-06-06.  Hvor ofte pleier Toll- og
+avgiftsdirektoratet å levere til OEP?  Er dere fornøyd med dagens
+leveringfrekvens?&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;I believe, we should provide concepts for IT companies to integrate
-Debian Edu into their product portfolio with use cases for different
-countries and areas all over the world.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Det vises til din e-post av 3. juli 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Våre rutiner tilsier at vår journal skal publiseres en gang pr. uke
+(hver torsdag). Vi søker så langt det er mulig å få dette til og har
+stort sett publisert iht rutinene siden vi kom opp på OEP.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Pga ekstraordinære forhold ved vårt arkiv har vi i de siste ukene
+ikke hatt kapasitet til å opprettholde den publiseringsfrekvensen vi
+har fastsatt. Det er et begrenset antall medarbeidere som kan og skal
+kunne publisere våre journaler. Vi håper imidlertid at dette raskt vil
+bedres og vi er tilbake til den frekvens vi har satt oss som mål å ha.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Vi beklager hvis dette har skapt vanskeligheter.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Like etter at jeg fikk svar ble OEP oppdatert med postjournaler fra
+alle disse etatene.  Antagelig tilfeldig, men jeg ser ikke bort fra at
+det kan ha virket motiverende for å få på plass leveringen at de ser
+at det er interesse for leveringen til OEP.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>I forgårs fikk jeg endelig svar fra Medietilsynet på min epost med
+spørmål om hvorfor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.frikanalen.no/&quot;&gt;Frikanalen&lt;/a&gt;
+er kryptert på RiksTV.  De toer sine hender:

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

-&lt;p&gt;Takk for muligheten til å kommentere.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Pressemeldingen omhandler tilgjengeligheten av kart for aktører som er
-medlem i kartellet Norge Digitalt.  Det er ingen overraskelse for meg
-at tilgjengeligheten til kart hos disse medlemmene er god.  Men for
-oss på utsiden av kartellet er tilgjengelighet av det som burde være
-felleskapets og innbyggernes kart dårlig.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Bruksvilkårene til kartene fra medlemmene i Norge Digital hindrer
-nyskapning og selv om en er villig til å betale den ublu prisen som
-forlanges får en fortsatt ikke tilgang til kartdata uten
-bruksbegresninger.  Derfor bruker jeg heller tid på å gjøre
-fribrukskartet OpenStreetmap bedre.  Der fremmer bruksvilkårene
-nyskapning og lar meg skape nye tjenester uten å måtte søke om
-tillatelse fra det offentlige.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;En annen problemstilling er jo sikkerhet til fjells og til sjøs.
-Mon tro hvor mange ulykker på sjøen som kunne vært unngått hvis
-sjøkartdata var tilgjengelig uten bruksbegrensninger, slik at enhver
-med GPS eller kartplotter tilnærmet kostnadsfritt kunne sikre seg mest
-mulig oppdaterte sjøkart?  Det hjelper jo ikke at offentlige etater
-har enkel tilgang til sjøkartene når det samme ikke gjelder hver
-båtkaptein og småbåtfører.  Jeg tror samfunnet som helhet hadde tjent
-på å unngå kostnadene ved disse ulykkene ved å tvinge sjøkartverket
-til å publisere sine kartdata på Internet uten bruksbegresninger.&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;br&gt;Subject: Spørsmål om kryptering av Frikanalen i det digitale bakkenetttet for fjernsyn&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Vi viser til Deres spørsmål av 27. mai i år til RiksTV,
+Samferdselsdepartementet og Medietilsynet, og til RiksTVs svar av
+1. juli til Dem, som vi har mottatt i kopi.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;For ordens skyld vil vi orientere om at Medietilsynet har visse
+tilsynsoppgaver knyttet til kapittel 3 i NTVs konsesjon for
+opprettelse og drift av det digitale bakkenettet for fjernsyn. Av
+pkt. 3.5 i denne konsesjonen går det bl.a. fram at NRKs
+kjernetilbud/allmennkringkastingstilbud... «skal være tilgjengelig
+uten betaling og ha lik dekning.» For distribusjon av innhold utenfor
+NRKs tilbud er det ikke tatt inn noen tilsvarende forutsetning i
+konsesjonen.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Medietilsynets mandat omfatter ikke spørsmålet om kryptering og
+administrasjon av engangsavgift knyttet til adgangskontrollsystem for
+NTVs formidling, og tilsynet kan derfor ikke ta stilling til de
+spørsmålene De reiser i tilknytning til det.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mvh&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Arve Lindboe&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;rådgiver,
+&lt;br&gt;Medietilsynet&lt;/p&gt;

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

+
+&lt;p&gt;Her må det tydeligvis andre aktører i sving for å bli kvitt
+krypteringen av Frikanalen.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/panasonic-er-1611.jpeg&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I normally cut my hair short, and my tool of choice has been a
-common hair/beard cutter, bought in a electrical shop here in Norway.
-But the last ones have not really been up to the task.  My last
-cutter, some model from Braun, could only cut a few of my hairs at the
-time, and cutting my head took forever.  And the one before that did
-not work very well either.  We have looked for something better for a
-while, but it was not until I ended up visiting a hairdresser that we
-discovered that there are indeed better tools available.  But these
-are not marketed and sold to &quot;regular consumers&quot;.  The hair saloons
-can get them through their suppliers, but their suppliers only sell
-companies.  The models they sell, are very different from the ones
-available from Elkjøp and Lefdal.  The main difference is their
-efficiency.  It would cut my hair in 5 minutes, instead of the 30-40
-minutes required by my impotent Braun.  The hairdresser I visited had
-a Panasonic ER160, which unfortunately is no longer available from the
-producer.  But I found it had a successor, the Panasonic ER1611.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The next step was to find somewhere to buy it.  This was not
-straight forward.  The list of suppliers I got from the hairdresser
-did not want to sell anything to me.  But searching for the model on
-the web we found a supplier in Norway willing to sell it to us for
-around NOK 4000,-.  This was a bit much.  We kept searching and
-finally found a Danish supplier
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://nicehair.dk/panasonic-er-1611-professionel-hartrimmer.html&quot;&gt;selling
-it for around NOK 1800,-&lt;/a&gt;.  We ordered one, and it arrived a few
-days ago.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The instructions said it had to charge for 8 hours when we started
-to use it, so we left it charging over night.  Normally it will only
-need one hour to charge.  The following evening we successfully tested
-it, and I can warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a real hair
-cutter.  The ones we have used until now have been hair cutter
-toys.&lt;/p&gt;

+               <description>&lt;p&gt;In the NUUG &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fiksgatami.no/&quot;&gt;FiksGataMi&lt;/a&gt;
+project (Norwegian version of
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fixmystreet.com/&quot;&gt;FixMyStreet&lt;/a&gt; from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysociety.org/&quot;&gt;mySociety&lt;/a&gt;), we have discovered
+a problem with the municipalities using
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zimbra.com/&quot;&gt;Zimbra&lt;/a&gt;.  When FiksGataMi send a
+problem report to the government, the email From: address is set to
+the address of the person reporting the problem, while envelope sender
+is set to the FiksGataMi contact address.  The intention is to make
+sure the municipality send any replies to the person reporting the
+problem, while any email delivery problems are sent to us in NUUG.
+This work well in most cases, but not for Karmøy municipality using
+Zimbra.  Karmøy is using the vacation message function in Zimbra to
+send an automatic reply to report that the message has been received,
+and this message is sent to the envelope sender and not the address in
+the From: header.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This causes the automatic message from Karmøy to go to NUUGs
+request-tracker instance instead of to the person reporting the
+problem.  We can not really change the envelope sender address, as
+this would make it impossible for us to discover when there are
+problems with the MTAs receiving problem reports.  We have been in
+contact with the people at Karmøy municipality, and they are willing
+to adjust Zimbra if something can be changed there to get a better
+behaviour.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The default behaviour of Zimbra is as far as I can tell according
+to the specification in RFC 3834, which recommend that vacation
+messages are sent to the envelope sender and not to the From: address.
+But I wonder if it is possible to adjust or configure Zimbra to behave
+differently.  Anyone know?  Please let us know at
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/fiksgatami&quot;&gt;fiksgatami
+(at) nuug.no&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
