I'll be part of a webinar on Monday discussing IPv6 for African Operators. My passion for Ipv6 is known to a number of you. This is a nice opportunity for all of us to share with everyone else since most of the webinar is dedicated to a Q&A. I will upload the (mine) slides for those who miss out and for those that will be over at Afnog next week (http://www.afnog.org/afnog2012/index.php), I plan to go through the same more extensively. I think it will be informative; you and your 'crew' should join in and throw in your ideas or at least start thinking about it a little bit more seriously. When? Monday, 30 April 2012, 13:00 (UTC). (I this would be 16:00 GMT ) however, participants are advised to log in half an hour earlier in order to ensure that their connection works properly. I noticed they erroneously still have my name and Safaricom on the same line. For those that notice it (well you all will now:-) just ignore it. - They say the more the merrier so I figure some people here might be interested to check it out. - Developers might think they are not involved in IPv6 but you cant be more wrong. You suddenly have to think of all the scripts you 'hardcoded' IP's to instead of DNS. - If you are writing applications for mobile you won't escape thinking about IPv6. - and more and more DNS and well I'll throw in RPKI to make Michuki happy:-) - The socket API sucky as it is in IPv4 will do an interesting number on you in IPv6. The webinar won't solve your problems but we can at least make that mad last mile dash together. My point is no one should be left out apart from a consumer/end user whose only interest is their content and they rarely interest me so long as they're paying for a service.
