DO NOT REPLY ALL (unless you're subscribed to BOTH lists)
FYI, I noticed earlier this morning (they were up and online yet
earlier this morning), that offline are:
SF-LUG:
([www.]sf-lug.{org,com,info}), etc.
but lists remain up and on-line
also
BALUG
on-line: [www.]balug.org & lists,
all other balug bits (e.g. wiki, archive other than list archive, etc.)
still presently off-line.
I expect to have more information (and hopefully have whatever is the issue
corrected) by later this evening.
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:
http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2015q3/011330.html

For those that may have been wondering ...
the BALUG logo:

The apparently binary data shown on bottom towards left:
01100010 01100001 01101100 01110101 01100111
What is that data? Interpreted as ASCII data in binary, it's:
balug
