Friday Video – IPv6: The Internet for Generations to Come

Yes, “IPv6: The Internet for Generations to Come,” is a slickly produced Cisco marketing video… but hey, it’s well-done and talks about World IPv6 Launch on June 6, 2012!  We need more videos out there with messages like this one…

…and I mean, really, you have to love the passion of Cisco Fellow Mark Townsley in this video!

P.S. Got a suggestion for another video we should feature on a Friday afternoon? Please let us know.  We’re still looking for that “IPv6 and kittens” video that we’d like to help go viral! ;-)

DNSsexy.net – News from the DNS blogosphere

Looking for news about DNS and DNSSEC that is happening around the Internet? If so, check out:

dnssexy.net

DNSsexy is a news aggregation site built and maintained by Jan-Piet Mens that pulls together DNS-related items from a variety of blogs and news sources. Do note that this is DNS in general… so it covers a wide range of DNS topics, not just the DNSSEC we cover here.

You can view the latest news by going to the site – or by adding the aggregated RSS feed into Google Reader or whatever feed reader you use.

I’ve found it quite a useful way to stay up on the many DNS posts happening around the Internet. Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for setting up and maintaining the site!

Today’s VUC Call All About The "FreeSWITCH Cookbook" – Noon US Eastern

Today at noon US Eastern on the VoIP Users Conference (VUC) Call for Friday, April 27th, the group will discuss the brand new "FreeSWITCH Cookbook"[1] published by PACKT Publishing. The four authors of the book, who are also leaders of the FreeSWITCH project, will apparently be joining the call.

While Asterisk generally gets most of the "open source VoIP" buzz, the folks at the FreeSWITCH project have been working away on their own solution. As they will say, FreeSWITCH performs a different role than Asterisk and is used in different contexts.

FreeSWITCH has become quite a powerful platform and I'm looking forward to learning more about what is going on with the project right now.

You can join the live call via SIP, Skype or the regular old PSTN. There is also an IRC backchannel that gets heavy usage during the call. It will be recorded so you can always listen later.

As noted on the VUC page for today's call, the show will also be simulcast in video using Google+ video and YouTube. If you are interested in joining the video side of the call, please follow the instructions on the page.
