Christchurch Day 2: APNIC 26 Meeting Started

Date: Monday, 25 August 2008
Location: Christchurch Convention Centre, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Christchurch Town Hall

The APNIC 26 meeting kicked in yesterday, although the official opening ceremony is only today. The main issue being discussed in this meeting is the depletion of the IPv4 addresses and the slow implementation of IPv6 addresses by the major ISPs in Asia Pacific region.

The event is conducted at the Christchurch Convention Centre, which is directly connected to the Christchurch Town Hall and the Crowne Plaza Hotel, where the buffet lunch is served at the Victoria Cafe there.

I met some new friends from my home country, Indonesia, on that day, and suprisingly, some of them are bloggers, Multipliers, to be exact. :) They are Christian and Don who work for two different internet service providers in Indonesia, as well as Andy and Yudha, from the Indonesian ISP association. We also met Angga, an Indonesian who has lived in Christchurch for 21 years with his family.
