Dear colleagues,

As you might already know, on 8 June, 2011, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!,
Akamai and Limelight Networks will be amongst some of the major
organisations that will offer their content over IPv6 for a 24-hour
"test flight". The goal of the Test Flight Day is to motivate
organizations across the industry - Internet service providers, hardware
makers, operating system vendors and web companies - to prepare their
services for IPv6 to ensure a successful transition as IPv4 addresses
run out (http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/).

One of the organizations supporting this day, OpenNMS
(http://www.opennms.org) is seeking volunteers to host pollers for their
distributed network monitoring solution for the World IPv6 Day
It has an online form for the purpose of gathering volunteers here:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHlDT0RQeEhrTjA5eVoyMkdQdzd1REE6MQ

Volunteers need to be able to provide a dual-stack machine to run the
poller software, and it is desirable for this machine to be on as much
of the time as possible, ideally 24/7.

OpenNMS is keen to have pollers on every (inhabited) continent, but
don't currently from Africa. I encourage volunteers to support OpenNMS
and the World IPV6 Day by hosting the pollers and completing the online
form with the results.

Please let me know and my colleague Matthew Ford (ford at isoc.org) if you
are volunteering and need further detail.

Thank you
Dawit Bekele
