Subject: VBAT: The 1st Virtual Bakeaton
Hello,
Happy New Years!
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!!!
