are repeated below for convenience, but we've just run a test<br>
and confirmed that we are adding a remote venue for the<br>
ALE NW / SPSU group via SKYPE hookup!<br>
<br>
We will be broadcasting the Emory meeting audio and<br>
screen casting the presentation slides in sync via an<br>
attended (moderated) Skype call. The SPSU classroom<br>
venue will be showing the presentation with a video data<br>
projector and appropriately amplified audio. A live mic<br>
will also be available so that SPSU / ALE NW attendees<br>
can relay questions through the Emory moderator.<br>
<br>
The SPSU meeting has been organized by Joshua<br>
Roberts and (faculty sponsor) Orlando Karam and will<br>
be held in Room J 381 of the "Atrium" building (the "J"<br>
building) on the SPSU campus. The campus map<br>
can be found here:<br>
<<a href="http://www.spsu.edu/home/about/campusmap.html" target="_blank">http://www.spsu.edu/home/about/campusmap.html</a>><br>
<br>
Best parking is in the large lot at the south end of<br>
campus next to the baseball diamond and the "L"<br>
and "O" buildings. Try not to park in reserved<br>
spaces, though I've been told that parking restrictions<br>
are not currently being enforced in the evenings.<br>
<br>
It was also recommended that you arrive on the<br>
campus a little early and allow time to navigate<br>
the road and building construction detours.<br>
<br>
Hope this makes attending more convenient for<br>
some of you heathen savages camped OTP. ;-)<br>

ALE MEETING INFO & SYNOPSIS<br>
=============================<br>
Our feature presentation for the Thursday,<br>
Jan. 20, 2011, 7:30pm ALE Central Meeting<br>
might be best introduced with the wistful<br>
words of a wise Walrus…<br>
<br>
“The time has come,” the Walrus said,<br>
“To talk of many things:<br>
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–<br>
Of cabbages–and kings–<br>
And why the sea is boiling hot–<br>
And whether pigs have wings.”<br>
— The Walrus and the Carpenter — Lewis Carol –<br>
<br>
… because the time has come for<br>
“A TIMELY INTRODUCTION TO IPV6″<br>
<br>
presented by Michael Warfield<br>
<br>
Synopsis:<br>
– Yes, indeed, the time has come. The time has come and has run<br>
out and the Internet version of Y2K is upon us. With over a decade of<br>
warnings that it was coming, we have finally run out of of the 32 bit<br>
version 4 Internet addresses and the last are being assigned out.<br>
There are no more. And, with mobile devices and a plethera of<br>
embedded devices, we are demanding and consuming Internet<br>
addresses at an accelerating rate. More and more draconian ideas<br>
on the horizon have come to light for keeping IPv4 beating on life<br>
support for a few more years. The time has come.<br>
– One recent author likened this current situation with IPv4 to be<br>
like<br>
a huge company that has run out of bottled water in their store room<br>
and distributed the last of their stock to the water coolers. Everyone<br>
still gets a drink, for a while, but the water coolers will soon begin<br>
to<br>
run out. But, it’s really more complicated than that. IPv6 is like the<br>
newer bottles and a fresh supply, but the bottles are bigger and people<br>
are complaining that they’re not sure the bottles will fit their<br>
coolers<br>
and asking if they have to replace them and not wanting to change<br>
and how do they deal with these bottles that are a different shape<br>
and size and color. And as their coolers run dry, they’re eyeing their<br>
neighbors cooler… And the alternative choices for what they had,<br>
that they “just know” will still fit their cooler, and are “just<br>
as good”<br>
(according to what they are told) in reality taste nasty. The time<br>
HAS come.<br>
– IPv6 has been with us and universally available for many many years<br>
for those who want to explore it and play with it. This introduction<br>
will<br>
examine the current state of the art and prepare the listeners to go<br>
home this very night and be on line on the global IPv6 network before<br>
their heads hit the pillows. It’s time to make that shift and make<br>
that<br>
change and put it behind us. Time to move beyond this Y2K problem<br>
once and for all. The time has come.<br>
