Hi Folks

Today is world ipv6 day, organised by the Internet Society. From 
http://www.worldipv6day.org;

"On 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, Akamai and Limelight 
Networks will be amongst some of the major organisations that will offer 
their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour “test flight”. The goal of the 
Test Flight Day is to motivate organizations across the industry – 
Internet service providers, hardware makers, operating system vendors 
and web companies – to prepare their services for IPv6 to ensure a 
successful transition as IPv4 addresses run out.

Please join us for this test drive and help accelerate the momentum of 
IPv6 deployment."

Thanks to some spare cycles in the admin team, the Linux Australia 
website is now running both an ipv4 and ipv6 address, and serving 
content on both address types.

You can check how prepared you are via www.omgipv6day.com, and if you 
want to join in, check our your ISP's page for more info, or setup a 
tunnel from he.net or internode.

Regards
