Hi @ll
You might already be aware of the fact that openSUSE participates at the world IPv6 day (if not: now you are ;-) at 8 June 2011.
Sounds like a good lead for a story on news.o.o. Can you tell us exactly *how* openSUSE participates on this day? How do we contribute to it and how do we benefit from it as a Project, etc.?
The more information you can give us, the better we can help write an article this week or early next week on this event.
I talked with Lars: A couple of weeks ago all our external servers where IPv4 only, they're adding now IPv6 accessability so that you can reach them with both IPv4 and IPv6 protocoal. The goal is to have at IPv6 day *all* our external servers (so, not e.g. the build service build hosts but build.opensuse.org) reachable via both IPv4 and IPv6 - this includes wikis, news, lizards, www, connect, docs, build, ... We participate in the day that we plan to have all our servers running additionally via IPv6 on that day. So, if you disable IPv4 on your system, you can still reach the systems. ;) IPv6 day is a promotion for IPv6 and I expect it will get a lot of press coverage itself. Having openSUSE as one of the groups listed, will include us in the promotion ;) It's good for us to show that IPv6 works fine on openSUSE! Is that enough background info for someone to write an announcement?
