Have IPv6 partially implemented for BALUG.
Notably it's present on the ancillary sites,
but not yet present for [www.]balug.org,
and also lacks full delegation chain of IPv6 DNS servers.
Also, as noted, use the DNS names - IP addresses - and especially IPv6
addresses,
are subject to change. And also note that virtual name hosting is used on the
web servers.

The SF-LUG websites
http://([www.]sf-lug.{org,com}/
now also have IPv6.
Do use the DNS names, as not only may IPv6 addresses change,
but the web server also uses virtual name hosting, and presently hosts
more than just
SF-LUG content.
Note that the list host (linuxmafia.com) does not (yet?) have IPv6.
Also, many of the BALUG.org sites now have IPv6 (notably BALUG ancillary sites
(e.g. archive & wiki sites), but not yet [www.]balug.org itself), but
these don't
yet have full chain of IPv6 DNS servers (alas, balug.org hosting
provider has no
IPv6 DNS servers).

Just a bit of background. Some BALUG sites may be impacted soon, but *not*
www.balug.org or balug.org itself.
See:
http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2014-July/002233.html
for *which* sites will (and won't) be impacted
As to some background and why, have a look at:
