+Title: A Norwegian fixmystreet have kept me busy the last few weeks

+
+<p>Here is a small update for my English readers.  Most of my blog
+posts have been in Norwegian the last few weeks, so here is a short
+update in English.</p>
+
+<p>The kids still keep me too busy to get much free software work
+done, but I did manage to organize a project to get a Norwegian port
+of the British service
+<a href="http://www.fixmystreet.com/">FixMyStreet</a> up and running,
+and it has been running for a month now.  Around Christmas I gathered
+sponsors to fund the development work.  In january I drafted a
+contract with mySociety on what to develop, and in february the
+development took place.  Most of it involved converting the source to
+use GPS coordinates instead of British easting/northing, and the
+resulting code should be a lot easier to get running in any country by
+now.  The Norwegian <a href="http://www.fiksgatami.no/">FiksGataMi</a>
+is using <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetmap</a> as
+the map source and the source for administrative borders in Norway,
+and support for this had to be added/fixed.</p>
+
+<p>The Norwegian version went live March 3th, and we spent the weekend
+polishing the system before we announced it March 7th.  The system is
+running on a KVM instance of Debian/Squeeze, and has seen almost 3000
+problem reports in a few weeks.  Soon we hope to announce the Android
+and iPhone versions making it even easier to report problems with the
+public infrastructure.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps something to consider for those of you in countries without
+such service?</p>
