IPV6
There’s a lot of buzz about IPv6. IPv4 depletion in Asia and Europe. LTE/4G devices bringing IPv6 to my perimeter network. US Internet backbone IPv6 penetration of over 2% with a 150% annual growth rate. Do we really need IPv6? How does it differ from IPv4? What’s the impact and when should I consider deploying it? What do I need to get started? Jim Small will help us dive into the why, how, where, what, and when of IPv6.

History of MUG
Would you believe MUG. has been around for *mumble mumble* years? We’ve lived through the rise of UNIX, countless proclamations of UNIX’s death, and the rebirth of UNIX in Linux. It’s been an interesting ride thus far, and we’ll take the latter half of the meeting to talk about the history of MUG, as well as reminisce about technologies past, present, and still to come. If you’re an alumni of MUG and want to come and share your stories, you won’t want to miss this meeting. Bring your MUG artifacts and stories, and hear the history of Michigan’s longest-running UNIX User’s Group.
And we’ll also have our normal MUG meeting features: Jobs Looking For People, People Looking for Jobs, news and events, and much much more.Hope to see you there!
