Frigan.no will become the go-to place for information about freeganism in Norwegian. Hopefully there will also be a great community of Norwegian freegans hanging out in the forums. No idea what I'm talking about, and don't understand a word in Norwegian? Please read about freeganism in English at freegan.info. (no affiliation)
Do you love "the Cloud", but hate not being Free as you're used to? Two point Open is my attempt to make it as easy to choose a FLOSS application on the web as it is today to choose it on the desktop. This is in very early development, and I'd love to get your help, either with just adding software to the wiki or make the website itself better. Contact me.
Thinking of switching to Linux? Linux for nybegynnere is my Norwegian group blog by and for Linux newbies. Simple language, no use of terminal/command line necessary, and never patronizing or angry. I'm always looking for more contributors, so please let me know if you're interested in helping!
Shortly after the bombing of Oslo and shooting at Utøya scientologists set up a tent and started preying on those feeling vulnerable after the horrible attacks. By offering magical massages and counselling, while disguising who they really where they hoped to recruit new members while they still were weak. Unfortunately I was out of the country during this period, but I tried organizing a group of volunteers to take shifts outside their tent warning potential victims of the scientologists about who these people really are. Planing and coordinating was done in the Beskytt Oslo etherpad, and a Facebook group one of the volunteers set up.
The first months of 2011 we fought against the implementation of the EU Data Retention Directive (Datalagringsdirektivet, DLD) in Norwegian law. All political parties were against it, except for Arbeiderpartiet and Høyre. Høyre did not decide until the very end, and many of their politicians where against. So we needed to convince Høyre to say no. I created a document to list all Høyre politicians who had taken a stance, both pro- and anti-DLD. This was a collaborative project, and many joined in. Unfortunately we lost, but now, at the end of 2011, the organization Digitalt Personvern is asking for monetary support to take the government to court over the constitutionality of this law.
In 2009 a campaign to get rid of Internet Explorer 6 spread troughout Norway and beyond. I had the honour of setting up the official wiki for this campaign. The campaign is over and the wiki is now locked.
Inspired by one of the oldest, still working pages on the web, tired.com, and my own experiences with being lonely, I operated ensom.be (lonely) from 2007 to 2011.
