February 2011 - IPV6, BGP and BAS

[BAS = Bursting At the Seams] 36 people packed out the meeting last night to hear a really good talk about 'how your mother will never notice' as the internet infrastructure makes the switch from IPV4 to IPV6. Andy Davidson of Hurricane Electric gave the talk, and a demo of their IPV6 Tunnel Broker that people can use to try the IPV6 net. Anyone got any plans to do something locally on World IPV6 Day, 8th June 2011?

Feb meeting

This months meeting we will be welcoming Andy Davidson Of Hurricane Electric to the LUG to give us all a primer on IPv6 and also for those of us that want to a practical example of what its all about. This kind of goes without saying but if you want to get the most out of it you might want to bring a laptop!

Nice to see everyone again in the new year. Last night's meeting was a bit of a mish mash of news and new ideas. So: Dates for your diary: First Saturday of March, June, September, December 2011 will be days when we can spend some more time looking in depth at things of interest (yes it's a vague as that). We'd like people to suggest topics, offer their services, etc and then the group will offer help and support to make it happen. We'll get these dates on our calendar, it's looking like Arduino might be the first day (March 5th) Nige agreed to draw together a calendar of big events and to get those on the calendar as well (this after Martin informed us that UKLUG is going to be in Leeds this year, 22nd-24th March) Bradford Jelly - next meeting 11th Feb, Bradford Uni.
