Igor Partola:
Using IPv6's global addressing as a way to get direct connectivity
between my home and office. With IPv4 we had to setup up a VPN which
required some management. Having IPv6 at home and work (via
TunnelBroker) makes it easy to connect directly to the machines I want
to get to. Teredo/miredo helps connecting from coffee shops, etc. when
on the go.

Alan Porter:
Adding IPv6 support to a web provisioning interface for a large telecom project.

Jym Williams-Zavada:
Getting a mikrotik router to work with a Hurricane Electric IPv6
tunnel, enabling IPv6 on my LAN. And if there's time, also about the
IPv6 firewall rules I use to protect my LAN nodes from the rest of the
IPv6 Internet.

TriLUG Hack Day: April 14
You've heard the buzz and seen the slides, now come get hands-on
experience with IPv6 on your own equipment. Bring your PCs,
smartphones, tablets, routers, or other interesting devices to see how
they'll work in our IPv6 test lab.
