Brian, Michael, I am very interested in this work. IF I can get somewhat up to speed, and IF I can sort out the travel support, I would very much like to come early to Chicago and participate in a Hackathon. If it does not work out, I live two hours from Ottawa by car, so I could possibly visit my children and have a (smaller) hackathon in Ottawa with Michael.
I have in my lab at Concordia a collection of ten (older) PCs running Ubuntu, plus two collections of 4 machines running a variety of Linux flavors. I don't have any IPv6 support (yet) in the lab, but the university does have an IPv6 address range assigned, and I am sure that I could get my hands on as many (small) pieces of this as I could need. (If not, I can always set up my Freenet6 /56 at the university. However, Freenet6 is about to go away...) Getting up to speed is partly the reading that I have to do, and partly finding a suitable Master's student to dig into the project. For Chicago, I could probably bring three Dell Latitude laptops: E5450 (i5-5200U, Windows 7, Ubuntu), E6400 (Core 2 Duo P9500, Windows 7, Ubuntu), C600 (Pentium III, Lubuntu only).
