+talk in Oslo March 1st 2013 17:00 to 19:00&lt;/a&gt;.  The event is public
+and organised by &lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;Norwegian Unix Users Group (NUUG)&lt;/a&gt;
+(where I am the chair of the board) and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.friprog.no/&quot;&gt;The Norwegian Open Source Competence
+Center&lt;/a&gt;.  The title of the talk is «The Free Software Movement and
+GNU», with this description:
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
+The Free Software Movement campaigns for computer users&#39; freedom to
+cooperate and control their own computing. The Free Software Movement
+developed the GNU operating system, typically used together with the
+kernel Linux, specifically to make these freedoms possible.
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The meeting is open for everyone.  Due to space limitations, the
+doors opens for NUUG members at 16:15, and everyone else at 16:45.  I
+am really curious how many will show up.  See
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20130301-rms/&quot;&gt;the event

-               <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/First_prototype_ready_making_hardware_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html</link>
-               <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/First_prototype_ready_making_hardware_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html</guid>
-                <pubDate>Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:00:00 +0100</pubDate>
-               <description>&lt;p&gt;Early this month I set out to try to
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html&quot;&gt;improve
-the Debian support for pluggable hardware devices&lt;/a&gt;.  Now my
-prototype is working, and it is ready for a larger audience.  To test
-it, fetch the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/&quot;&gt;source
-from the Debian Edu subversion repository&lt;/a&gt;, build and install the
-package.  You might have to log out and in again activate the
-autostart script.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The design is simple:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;Add desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ causing a program
-hw-support-handlerd to start when the user log in.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;This program listen for kernel events about new hardware (directly
-from the kernel like udev does), not using HAL dbus events as I
-initially did.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware modalias in
-the APT database, a database
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=markup&quot;&gt;available
-via HTTP&lt;/a&gt; and a database available as part of the package.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;If a package is mapped to the hardware in question, the package
-isn&#39;t installed yet and this is the first time the hardware was
-plugged in, show a desktop notification suggesting to install the
-package or packages.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;If the user click on the &#39;install package now&#39; button, ask
-aptdaemon via the PackageKit API to install the requrired package.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;li&gt;aptdaemon ask for root password or sudo password, and install the
-package while showing progress information in a window.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I still need to come up with a better name for the system.  Here
-are some screen shots showing the prototype in action.  First the
-notification, then the password request, and finally the request to
-approve all the dependencies.  Sorry for the Norwegian Bokmål GUI.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-1-notification.png&quot;&gt;
-&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-2-password.png&quot;&gt;
-&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-3-dependencies.png&quot;&gt;
-&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-4-installing.png&quot;&gt;
-&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-5-installing-details.png&quot; width=&quot;70%&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The prototype still need to be improved with longer timeouts, but
-is already useful.  The database of hardware to package mappings also
-need more work.  It is currently compatible with the Ubuntu way of
-storing such information in the package control file, but could be
-changed to use other formats instead or in addition to the current
-method.  I&#39;ve dropped the use of discover for this mapping, as the
-modalias approach is more flexible and easier to use on Linux as long
-as the Linux kernel expose its modalias strings directly.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2013-01-21 16:50&lt;/strong&gt;: Due to popular demand,
-here is the command required to check out and build the source: Use
-&#39;&lt;tt&gt;svn checkout
-svn://svn.debian.org/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/; cd
-hw-support-handler; debuild&lt;/tt&gt;&#39;.  If you lack debuild, install the
-devscripts package.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2013-01-23 12:00&lt;/strong&gt;: The project is now
-renamed to Isenkram and the source moved from the Debian Edu
-subversion repository to a Debian collab-maint git repository.  See
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Welcome_to_the_world__Isenkram_.html&quot;&gt;build
-instructions&lt;/a&gt; for details.&lt;/p&gt;
