We had an IPv6 meeting in November 2011, and one before that in
August 1997.

I was disappointed in the presentation last year; I had
hoped for a detailed walk-through for how to migrate to IPv6 for several
scenarios like a home user with maybe 3-4 systems and a dd-wrt router,
a small office with 1-2 servers and a dozen desktops/laptops, and a
larger enterprise with multiple locations. Something aimed at an audience
that has already decided to migrate to IPv6 and is looking for details
on how to do so.

Instead we got yet another abstract sales pitch that was bereft of details
and amounted to a pitch to persuade reluctant PHBes that they need
to migrate.
