[Chapter-delegates] World IPv6 Day in the Netherlands <> Big event, awards, interop lab

[Michiel Leenaars]

Hi all,

looking very much forward to tomorrow. We will have - like in many other
places - a big event with tutorials, panels and workshops from some
very interesting people [1]. Over 300 people have registered so far,
and we have currently over 110 websites from the Netherlands
participating in the global launch - including the main government
portal Rijksoverheid.nl. We will also be awarding some awards to the
most creative new uses of IPv6, last year we had many interesting
submissions (including a game of Battleship played by encoding the game
actions in IPv6 addresses only) so I'm looking very much forward to
that.

The whole program of our event is online at: http://ipv6launch.nl

In addition (and this may interest people that won't be able to attend
in person) we have a group of thirty students from Amsterdam University
of Applied Sciences that have set up an IPv6 Interoperability Lab for
Internet Society, for the occasion of World IPv6 Launch. In the lab
they will be looking at issues like security and doing testing with a
variety of routers, firewalls, voip phones, load balancers. Also: BYOD.

More info and all sub projects of the interop lab can be found (in
English) at:

I want to thank Leslie Daigle, Phil Roberts and all involved with the
organisation of World IPv6 Launch for their awesome work. And of
course the great local organisation of the World IPv6 Launch
event led by Romeo Zwart: University of Amsterdam (UvA), Amsterdam
University of Applied Sciences (HvA), SURFnet, RIPE NCC, NLnet, NLnet
Labs, IPv6 Task Force, Routz, AMSix, STIPv6 and ourselves.

Kind regards,
