Biography
Knut Yrvin (born March 7, 1967) is a Norwegian software developer. He was an important contributor to the initiation of the Skolelinux project (now DebianEdu). He is also one of the board members of Elektronisk Forpost Norge, a Norwegian version of EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation).
He has always been one of the most known fighters for free software in Norway and in 1984 won a Norwegian championship in Belly Dance.
He also took part in Norske Talenter 2010, where he qualified to the final, but did not win, due to the political views on
traditional middle eastern art forms at the time.
