Ben started the conversations about virtual bakeathon and built a network we can use for a VBAT. We were floated the idea of having it on the last week of Feb (Mon 22ed to Fri 26th) which people seems to agree with... so... Lets have a virtual Bakeathon at the end of Feb!!! I've update the nfsv4bat.org site [1] with all the details on how to register and enable a host to used the VBAT network. The VBAT network consists of VPN connections using IPv6 address to do the routing. Again all the details are on [1]. Participant's communications will be run through a Discord server [2], which supports both audio and IRC capabilities... Meaning we can talk and type to each other... Again the details are on [1]. This is the first attempt at a virtual event so there are going to be bumps in the road, but as a community I'm sure we can make this work. Point being... if you find problems please try to come up with a solutions... not a complaint ;-) The official testing start end of Feb but the network is up and running right now! So I *strongly* suggest you try and build a host to used the network well be for the end of Feb... (aka ASAP!) Finally, I'm working on getting VBAT t-shirts for registered participants to order... free of charge... So registering early would definitely help the effort out Let make this happen!!! steved.
