Thanks for organizing it, it just worked ;)
What would be really awesome is to stop announcing that network as 'an experiment'. My understanding is that we need 1) [hardest part] get smth better than 'best effort' support level; 2) change the password from 'iknowbesteffort' 3) stop calling it 'experimental' in public 4) tell people that if smth does not work they should fall back to the 'standard' network and see if it helps.
I'm not suggesting making it a default network at the current stage but I think that it is mature enough to move out of 'experimental' phase. We could call it 'pilot', 'canary' or '1st phase of rollout' ;)
I totally agree we should move forwards. I also agree with your points above, but then we have something called reality, an annoying thing that slow down progress...
This time the reality is that as long as Android can't connect to a IPv6 only network without some manual hack it is a no-go there.
I think I need to clarify: I'm *NOT* suggesting making v6-only network a default one, deprecate dual-stack SSID or anything like that. I propose just to change the way we are calling it and get official support. That's it.
However - on a more serious note. We might consider to stop calling it an experiment as a starter. Then we could see if it's possible for the RIPE tech staff to run it for the next meeting. The password could stay the same so it's clear to people that it's not an official network just yet, it's a pilot, pre-release or something.
OK, so you agree with all my suggestions except for changing the password? Well, I think we can reach a consensus then ;)
Then we could reevaluate how things worked out and what is missing before it can become a permanent thing... ?
