CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The German IPv6 Council invites applications for the

INTERNATIONAL IPv6 APPLICATION CONTEST 2012
http://www.ipv6council.de/contest2012

As in the previous years, the objectives of this contest in 2012 are the generation of new ideas

on a large scale and to use it effectively. The contest also provides an opportunity for the next 
generation of application developers to gain experience with IPv6. The German IPv6 Council has 
been founded in 2007 at Hasso-Plattner-Institute in Potsdam assisted by the German federal 
government and leading representatives of the German internet industry in order to give a 
political voice to the new internet generation IPv6. As the German representative in the 
international IPv6 Forum the German IPv6 Council has prepared, together with the German federal 
government, a roadmap for the introduction and popularization of IPv6 in Germany. Its clear
