 *Surviving the IPocalypse: IPv6, Linux, and You* *Quick, grab your
smartphone, e-reader, computer and family (in that order), pack some
supplies, and head for the hills! (except in Kansas, which is too flat.) The
Internet as we currently know it is coming to an end!*

We're running out of host addresses! In a matter of months, not decades they
will all be used up. Are you prepared for the single biggest network event
since broadband?

Say goodbye to your old friends like 209.85.225.99 and hello to
2001:4860:b007::6a (google.com). The existing IP version 4 numbering system
with 32-bit addresses is nearly exhausted. In 2013, the last one will be
gone. History! But, there is hope of rescue. It's not the cavalry, it's the
Internet protocol version 6, with new-fangled 128-bit addresses, and it will
impact every networked digital device, router and service you use.

What does this all mean? How will your gear be affected? Find out! Attend
our free, informative presentation on this timely and important topic by Jim
Leinweber from the University of Wisconsin. He'll explain IPv4 exhaustion,
introduce the major features of IPv6, fearlessly predict the transition from
IPv4 to IPv6, and demonstrate how you can do live IPv6 now - even if your
ISP doesn't yet offer it.

 *When:*     1:00 PM, Saturday December 11, 2010
*Where:*     ITT Technical
Institute<http://maps.google.com/maps?q=map%3A%20itt%20technical%20madison&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl>
