Next Meeting is July, 2025 6:30pm

Hi Fellow NetSIG-ers,
In the Small Boardroom of Quality Foods on Thursday evening, 6:30pm to 8pm, 24th of July..
I have recently been doing some upgrades to my OpenWrt routers, and have tested a better way to upgrade your routers to the latest release. The tool is called Attended SysUpgrade, and it makes upgrading a snap by keeping your installed packages and configuration.
We will be talking about the IPv6 Test Pod Project , which runs on OpenWrt routers. In July we'll be discussing the Transition Technologies enabled by the IPv6 Test Pod, and in August, we'll be doing a live demo of converting an OpenWrt router to an IPv6 Test Pod.
See you on Thursday evening,
Craig... Bring your laptop with Wireshark, and an OpenWrt router (if you have one).

Afterword, we will go out for a beer/coffee. We'll be meeting in-person this month, at Quality Foods, View Royal, 27 Helmcken Rd #110. We will also setup a laptop in the upstairs small board room for those attending remotely.
We'll use Jitsi for the remote part of this meeting:
