The idea came from a discussion I had +around ten years ago with a friend about the copyright debate in +Norway, and how rarely the difficulties of long copyright made it into +the public debate. A bit more than three years ago I finally had a +look again at the idea and decided to publish a printed Norwegian +BokmÃ¥l version of Free Culture, translated and +formatted by volunteers. The new English edition is a by-product of +the translation process. + + + +Thanks to the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project, I already had +experience translating Docbook documents, and it seemed like a good +format for this book too. I found a Docbook formatted version of the +book created by Hans Schou. Initial testing showed lots of Docbook +validation errors in this version, but after some work I was able to +transform it to PDF and EPUB. This was the start of the translation +project. The Docbook file improved over time, and build rules were +added to create both English and BokmÃ¥l versions. Finally, a call for +volunteers went out to help me with the translation. + + + +Several people joined, and Anders Hagen Jarmund, Kirill Miazine and +Odd Kleiva assisted with the initial translation.
