Hello all,<br>
<br>
A heads up as I've not seen anyone else on list mention it -
tomorrow, June 6th if "World IPv6 Day". While many people here have
been playing with or actively using IPv6 for the last... decade and
a bit... its been hampered by the majority of resources online not
being accessible natively using this protocol. Tomorrow this changes
- major sites should be publishing their IPv6 records in DNS
alongside their IPv4 addresses. For those with IPv6 connectivity,
this i the next major stepping stone to removing the dependency on
IPv4.<br>
<br>

<br>
For those with no IPv6 connectivity, then you shouldn't see many
issues; the information I've seen suggests less than 0.022% of
requests were somewhat slowed by a second or so. For the majority of
people, it should be transparent.<br>
<br>
PLUG's current web site is not <i>yet</i> on IPv6 but we are
investigating swapping resources around to enable the web site to
enable this. Things like PLUG's mumble and Icecast servers <i>are</i>
already IPv6 capable (mumble.plug.org.au, icecast.plug.org.au).<br>
<br>
An interesting article to pass around about schools in NSW adopting
IPv6:<br>

In other news, don't forget <b>tomorrow</b> is also the Perth tech
community meetup at SpaceCubed (45 St Georges Tce - old Reserve Bank
building, ground floor), and next <b>Tuesday 12th June </b>we have
a special guest flying in from Melbourne - Simon Elisha from Amazon
Web Services to talk about their cloud environment at City West
Lotteries House, 2 Delhi St West Perth, 7pm sharp (be there from
6:30pm).<br>
