Surviving the IPocalypse: IPv6, Linux, and You

Everyone who has a presence on the web is going to be forced to more about IPv6 in the coming years. Get ahead of the curve! Quick, grab your smartphone, e-reader, computer and family (in that order), pack some supplies, and head for the hills! (except in Kansas, which is too flat.) The Internet as we currently know it is coming to an end! We're running out of host addresses! In a matter of months, not decades they will all be used up. Are you prepared for the single biggest network event since broadband? Say goodbye to your old friends like 209.85.225.99 and hello to 2001:4860:b007::6a (google.com). The existing IP version 4 numbering system with 32-bit addresses is nearly exhausted. In 2013, the last one will be gone. History! But, there is hope of rescue. It's not the cavalry, it's the Internet protocol version 6, with new-fangled 128-bit addresses, and it will impact every networked digital device, router and service you use. What does this all mean?

Nonprofits and Section 508: Is Your Website Accessible?

In this workshop we will discuss what it means to be an accessible website, what the government mandates (and for whom), what kinds of questions you should be asking your developers to make sure you are accessible, how to move beyond government mandates and what the future holds for accessibility. This workshop is appropriate for the non-technical, but the presenter can answer very technical questions as well. This workshop is one of the Madison Nonprofit Day Technology series. Presented by Greg Tarnoff at the Goodman Community Center, 149 Waubesa Street, at 1pm.

Building Your Website with ExpressionEngine 2.0

Nonprofits need a website for a number of reasons, including: for presence, information distribution, communication, connection with a wider, broader audience, to create an organizational brand, and more.

There are a multitude of content management systems (CMS), all offering various benefits for you and your organization. This presentation will discuss ExpressionEngine as one of the many CMSs for you to choose from. It will offer a brief comparison to WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal; tips and techniques on choosing a web developer, future proofing your website, and more.
