FOSDEM 2027 plans IPv6‑only Wi‑Fi, raising questions about GitHub compatibility

Organizers of the 2027 FOSDEM conference announced an IPv6‑only Wi‑Fi network for attendees. The decision aligns with broader efforts to promote IPv6 adoption. Participants will need IPv6‑compatible devices to access the internet on site. The move has sparked discussion about whether major platforms, such as GitHub, support IPv6 fully. GitHub currently offers limited IPv6 connectivity, according to public information. Event speakers may address the challenges of IPv6‑only environments in their talks. Attendees are advised to test IPv6 connectivity before the conference. The situation highlights the ongoing transition from IPv4 to IPv6 in developer communities.
