Do you have a link to this event? I'd like to add it to our calendar.

Very short, I would recommend:
1. updating documentation
2. work on the OS libraries
3. IP address management tools


Here are some projects that we worked on during the previous two
IPv6-related hackathons:

All of the tools & projects available on GitHub:

And lots of ideas are in here:
