Dear Colleagues,
AFRINIC in collaboration with Workonline and Teraco is organising a Deployathon
in Johannesburg from 6 to 8 June 2023.
AFRINIC has less than 1,32 million IPv4 addresses left in its available pool.
As you can tell, from the AFRINIC stats portal <https://stats.afrinic.net/> -
https://stats.afrinic.net/, this is insufficient to meet Africa’s current IP
address needs, making IPv6 the only sustainable way to continue growing the
Internet in Africa.
In 2018, we designed and organised the world’s first Deployathon as a mechanism
to bridge the gap between learning about IPv6 and actually implementing it.
Since our inception, we’ve run 17 (e-)Deployathons supporting 83 organisations
from 22 countries participating. They were able to accomplish 204 deployment
milestones; among them :
43 valid route6 object
39 address plans in IPAMS
23 validated RPKI ROA objects
20 Initial address plan
19 advertised IPv6 prefix
14 IPv6 prefix PI
11 IPv6-enabled core
7 IPv6 domain objects
7 IPv6 from test VLAN
4 IPv6-enabled DNS
2 IPv6-enabled customer

to view more on our deployment achievements.
We invite you to register for the upcoming Deployathon in Johannesburg.
If selected, you will get the same step-by-step guidance, tools, and techniques
we have perfected in 17 (e-)Deployathons, and +100 helpdesk calls to help
realise your IPv6 deployment project for your organisation.
This is clearly a measurable step forward in accordance with your network
change management processes.
Date: 6 June - 8 June 2023
Time: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM local time day (UTC +2)
Main Language: English
Eligibility: Qualified engineers based in South Africa or able to travel to
Johannesburg in that period.
If you are an engineer who runs a network and believes that you can make one
concrete visible step towards IPv6 deployment (or advance your stalled IPv6
deployment) for your organisation, apply for a spot here
<https://afrinic.net/deployathon> - https://afrinic.net/deployathon (Only 30
spots available)
Deadline for application: 29 May 2023.
