====== Ottawa IPv6 Summit - April 29, 2011 ======

Official site: [[http://ipv6summit.ca|IPv6 Summit.ca]]

===== Event to Explain Changes that IPv6 Will Bring =====

Today most Internet communication happens over Internet Protocol version 4
(or IPv4).  However, IPv4 only has enough addresses for about 4 billion
devices.  The population of our planet well exceeds 6 billion, and
with more people getting connected to the Internet IPv4 just cannot
scale.  At the current rate of consumption of IPv4 addresses, we will run
out in mid-2011.

IPv6, the successor to IPv4, was designed to provide several advantages
over its predecessor.  For one, IPv6 will allow for a very large number
of addresses -- enough to not have to worry about exhaustion.  It also
eliminates the need for NAT, improves QoS, adds support for
address mobility, and makes configuring a small network a breeze.

This event targets hands-on IT managers, of both business and government
divisions, semi-pro hobbyists, and computer enthusiasts alike.  Join us
and learn about the Internet of tomorrow.

====== Planning ======

===== General =====

  * full day event with three tracks:
    * intro/business case stream,
    * technical stream, and
    * a "put IPv6 on your laptop" demo room.
  * held on a local campus (Ottawa, Carleton, Alognquin),
  * ask local ISPs to feed us native IPv6 into the event,
  * seek out local companies that do ipv6 and invite them.

===== Meetings =====

  * notes are kept in [[http://git.jukie.net/ipv6summit-notes.git|ipv6summit-notes.git]] repository

===== What was done =====

  * **Bart** talked to Owen Delong (from he.net), who will come; we have to pick a date he is not busy on (see below).
  * **Bart** has collected names of a dozen volunteers at Sept meeting, and setup a mailing list.
  * **MCR** has asked local ISPs about providing us with IPv6 feeds, also speakers.
  * **Bart** invited some speakers, see [[:OttawaIPv6SummitSpeakerInvite]]
  * progress on finding a venue, see [[:OttawaIPv6SummitVenue]]
  * progress on setting up a website, see [[:OttawaIPv6SummitWebSite]]
  * **James** is contacting the different Ottawa technical groups, see [[:OttawaIPv6GroupInvites]]

===== Other ideas =====

  * invite Ottawa ipv6-ready ISPs/companies, like TekSavvy (maybe sponsor opportunity)?
  * [[http://www.eion.com/|EION]] is a local company that does IPv6 on their products.
  * does OCLUG have funds to bring in other ipv6 super stars?
    * [[https://sites.google.com/site/ipv6implementors/2010|Google ipv6 conference]] could be a good source of speakers to consider.

===== Actions =====

  * pick a venue and date

  * **Bart**: coordinate with Owen Delong's availability ([[http://owend.corp.he.net/events|his sechdule]]).
  * **Bart**: confirm that HE.net will cover all of Owen's expenses.
  * **John**: see if we can get uOttawa space.
  * **MCR**: see if a local ISP can get us IPv6.
  * **Lisa**: will look into software or services that we could use for accepting registrations, posting schedule, and printing badges
     * Note: If there are any other needed software/service tasks, please add them here.
