To that end, is there an enthusiasm within the NOG for NZ to be leaders, or are we content to be followers in the transition? Is IPv6, as in development of the roadmap to deployment in NZ a useful subject for the NOG conference in January, or who do InternetNZ have to provide beers to, to get the subject on the agenda?
IPv6 was on the agenda this year. Dean (and David?) spoke about their work with v6. I can't recall other talks this year, but they probably happened.
I believe the outcome of Dean's comments were, "Nobody really uses it, there's no real demand for it, why bother?" or to that affect. I'm sure he'll jump in and speak for himself though ;).... if he hasn't had his silence bought by beer. When soliciting people to speak on v6, Donald found it extremely hard to find anyone with a real, useful, practical story to talk about. Marketing, yes. "We looked at it once", yes. But that was it. aj.
