Keene Ice At Keene City Council Tonight

If you get a chance to go to the Keene City Council meeting tonight, Thursday, November 14, 2013, the proposal for a year-round skating rink from Keene Ice will be under discussion.  While we’ve written in our frequently-asked questions why we are seeking a dedicated ice facility, we’re very much in favor of seeing Keene Ice’s proposal go through. The Monadnock region needs more access to winter sports facilities – and it would be outstanding to have a year-round skating rink here in Keene!  I (Dan York) am planning to be there and I hope others will join in the meeting as well.

IP Best Current Operational Practices (IPBCOP) Project Launches New Website

Are you looking for “best practices” within the operations community?  If so, our friends over at the IP Best Current Operational Practices (IPBCOP) effort have just launched a new website to help make their information more accessible and available. The IPBCOP project, led by Aaron Hughes and Richard Donaldson, emerged out of a series of operator meetings such as NANOG where it became clear that a need existed to collect operational best practices within the operator community and capture those in a series of documents and templates that others can use.

The project has been working via a mailing list for the past while and currently has three drafts under active consideration:

More drafts are in development and a BCOP template is available for those interested in submitting their own best practices document for consideration.  The IPBCOP project is very much a community effort and all communication really happens through their mailing list, which is open for anyone interested to join.  You can also connect with IPBCOP on Twitter, Facebook and Google+.

We think this is a great effort that will only help the operations community move forward with technologies like IPv6 and we encourage you all to check it out and if possible get involved!

Government Computer News – Thanks for the Deploy360 Mention!

GovernmentcomputernewsVery nice to see the mention of Deploy360 in the Government Computer News “CyberEye” column: Internet Society launches info hub for DNSSEC, IPv6. Many thanks for the mention! The US Government has been pushing hard on both IPv6 and DNSSEC and we’ve got some statistics on our site about US government DNSSEC and IPv6 adoption. We’ve also got some more sites that we’ll be adding to our list of resources that are specifically government-related. We’re very much looking forward to doing all we can to help government IT professionals from the US and from governments all around the world.

If you are a government IT professional, please do look around our site and see if the resources we have here can help you. And if you still need answers to questions, please let us know and we’ll be glad to help!
