==Logo suggestion==

I'm wonderring if this would be a good "logo" to replace the "Set $wgLogo to the URL path to your own logo image" on the top left. I have a suggestion that we could have a mozilla logo (if that's approved, that is) in the background (faded) and have the words Mozilla@Seneca on top of the mozilla logo! What do you guys think??

The internet of things is a scenario which objects or devices connect each other without any human interaction. This scenario was issued in 1991 by implementing internet. In 20th century by developing nanotechnology and computer science, experts start focusing more about internet of things. Many famous companies in IT change their business plane to develop their research in internet of things. They also have huge progress in it. By using internet of things scenario IT companies have main effect in developing in other industries like the medical and healthcare systems, energy management, building and home automation.

Many famous IT companies like Microsoft, CISCO and IBM. They create many solutions based on Internet of thing,  For illustration, Microsoft Company engineers believe that Internet of Things is flexible and it helps converged between devices, it also consider: reducing hardware costs, more machine are talking to each other, Software is more advanced than ever, The economic benefits are huge.

Although experts in IT solve many problems by using internet of things scenario, but there is a serious problem, how we can manage this huge network. By using IPv4 topology scientists found out they will face the lack of IP amount problem. Therefore they create new version of IP topology which is IPv6 topology. By using IPv6 topology we can administer it reliably, efficiently and securely.

It might be nice to have something that is Mozilla or OSS related. Off the top of my head I'm not sure what that would be though.

Yeah, that's what I thought so too.

IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is the latest level of the Internet Protocol (IP) and is now included as part of IP support in many products including the major computer operating systems. IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a set of specifications from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that's essentially an upgrade of IP version 4 (IPv4). The basics of IPv6 are similar to those of IPv4 -- devices can use IPv6 as source and destination addresses to pass packets over a network, and tools like ping work for network testing as they do in IPv4, with some slight variations. The most obvious improvement in IPv6 over IPv4 is that IP addresses are lengthened from 32 bits to 128 bits. This extension anticipates considerable future growth of the Internet and provides relief for what was perceived as an impending shortage of network addresses. IPv6 also supports auto-configuration to help correct most of the shortcomings in version 4, and it has integrated security and mobility features.

'''IPv6 features include:'''

Mozilla logo (that is if that's approved) in the background (faded) and have the words Mozilla@Seneca floating on top of the mozilla logo

Sherman, that is an idea. However, the Seneca Sting "bee" represents the Seneca Recreation Council. I don't know how relevant that logo would be for our case, but we could probably try to incorporate that with the mozilla logo (if we get permissions). It's too bad Seneca doesn't have a REAL logo.

The transition from Internet Protocol v4 to v6 is the biggest infrastructure shift in the Internet since the network was founded. Proposed in 1995 and adopted as a workable protocol in 1999, Internet Protocol version 6 was designed to support the Internet’s rampant growth. It promised to boost the number of Internet addresses from 4.3 billion to (3.4x1038) about 670 quadrillion addresses per square millimetre of the Earth's surface! IPv6 also offers a tighter security through packet-level encryption and stepped-up authentication, along with the ability for routers to better manage traffic flow through such features as packet labeling. The header format would be improved, enabling traffic management features such as "fast lanes," or fatter channels for bigger content.

Anycast is a new feature in IPv6. It classifies multiple interfaces and sends the packets to a single and the nearest of the several services in a group. Overall, it is a ccommunication that occurs between a single sender and the nearest of a group of receivers.

−
Definition of IPV6 – it is the latest version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet.
+
I moved the news to a separate page. Some of the links are getting long in the tooth (though still important), and the CBC news anchor with her mouth half-open had been on the front page for quite a while.
  
−
Definition of IPV4 – it is the fourth version in the development of the Internet Protocol (IP) Internet, and routes most traffic on the Internet.  
+
Moving the news to a separate page makes the Content area more prominent. However, it also makes the page look less interesting, so we should consider ways of improving the visual appeal of the front page.
  
−
How efficient is IPv6 network
+
== New front page ==
  
−
IPv6 reduces the size of routing tables and makes routing more efficient and hierarchical. IPv6 allows ISPs to aggregate the prefixes of their customers' networks into a single prefix and announce this one prefix to the IPv6 Internet. In addition, in IPv6 networks, fragmentation is handled by the source device, rather than the router, using a protocol for discovery of the path's maximum transmission unit (MTU)
+
New front page installed yesterday after a number of consultations. Main features:
 +
* More compact format, based on Wikipedia front page
 +
* Colour styled to match OpenSource@Seneca logo
 +
* Uses templates for Events and Planet Feed
 +
* Fast-nav links for current courses and communities with which we're involved
 +
* Brief explanation of what CDOT is
 +
* Re-branded under the CDOT name
 +
* "Main Page" top-level heading removed via CSS

We should consider migrating from the OpenSource@Seneca logo to a CDOT logo at some point.

IPv6 supports globally unique IP addresses by which the network activity of each device can potentially be tracked.The design of IPv6 intended to re-emphasize the end-to-end principle of network design that was originally conceived during the establishment of the early Internet. In this approach each device on the network has a unique address globally reachable directly from any other location on the Internet

How secure is IPv6 ?
+
I added the logos for the 5 projects/communities we work with to the bottom of the front page. '''Note that due to Trademark guidelines, we're required to hyperlink the Fedora logo to http://fedoraproject.org/'''.
  
−
Is it secure enough to use in our daily lives? Yes it can be used and it is one of the most widely used networks. A widely assumed benefit of ipv6 is IPSEC support as ipv6 supports I0SEC for transport encryption which makes it secure. Another security feature is discovery of secure neighbour which makes it more and more secure.

Support in major o.s.

−
All major operating system have ipv6 .not only all os have ipv6 but their support is on default. This means that for most people ipv6 is possible to use with any operating system.
 
−
 
 
−
Examples of OS which support ipv6
 
−
 
 
−
Microsoft windows since windows vista and server 2008
 
−
 
 
−
apple os x since 10.2 jaguar
 
−
 
 
−
linux sice kernel 2.6.12
 
−
 
 
−
All in all ipv6 network is a reliable and efficient as ipv6 is supported by most of the operating system available in market, however there are some limitations in security, like it does not support IPsec (internet protocol security) properly, which is an important security feature .Basically it cannot prevent attacks on layers above the network layer in the network protocol stack.

MoeZilla & Seneca

Old seneca logo + Mozilla logo + transparency = 1337|\|355

We have a winner! (pstdenis)

Nice, but isnt that part of the rec. logo, not seneca? From what i remember, the seneca logo is just plain text with a red background.

--Pcvitori 09:43, 22 September 2006 (EDT)

Nevermind.. i was just told its the old logo. Good stuff!

Adding a Favicon

Just thought it would be cool to add a favicons for our wiki site that would display in the browser address bar when the page is visited and/or in the browser bookmarks menu.

Here are three 32x32 samples created based on the new wiki logo:

Favicon.PNG  -  Main wiki logo version.

Favicon2.PNG  -  Transparent blue without text.

Favicon3.PNG  -  Transparent with wrap around text.

Favicons may also have scrolling text and may even be animated. However, since the wiki only allows .PNG uploads I could not upload those samples.

Sherman, this is such a great idea. However, the admins dont have access to zenit just yet (our wiki is moved to zenit) so we will only be able to set this up when we get the access.

I like #2. I don't think animation would be useful for something so small though.

Would it be possible to fill up the whole 32X32 pixels with a bigger version of the icon (don't worry about the text, we wouldn't be able to see it anyways) -- 16:45 Monday 02 Oct 2006 (EST)    Liz Chak (elichak)

I think that's a good idea Liz. Maybe just scale it up and have the blue fade touch all the edges? bhearsum 17:05, 2 October 2006 (EDT)

New CONTENT Template

The last proposed CONTENT template for the main page wasn't well accepted, so here is another try on the CONTENT template (thanks bhearsum for your contribution): New CONTENT Template

Customizable Sidebar

I found an extension for mediawiki that allows a user-customizable sidebar

http://austinche.name/mediawiki/UserSidebar.php.txt

I'm finding myself clicking the same links over and over to get to my most commonly used pages. Would anyone else use this?

- bhearsum 20:12, 4 October 2006 (EDT)

i'd like that, as long as i don't have to spend more than 5 minutes figuring out how to use it -andrew

Move News

I moved the news to a separate page. Some of the links are getting long in the tooth (though still important), and the CBC news anchor with her mouth half-open had been on the front page for quite a while.

Moving the news to a separate page makes the Content area more prominent. However, it also makes the page look less interesting, so we should consider ways of improving the visual appeal of the front page.

New front page

New front page installed yesterday after a number of consultations. Main features:

  • More compact format, based on Wikipedia front page
  • Colour styled to match OpenSource@Seneca logo
  • Uses templates for Events and Planet Feed
  • Fast-nav links for current courses and communities with which we're involved
  • Brief explanation of what CDOT is
  • Re-branded under the CDOT name
  • "Main Page" top-level heading removed via CSS

We should consider migrating from the OpenSource@Seneca logo to a CDOT logo at some point. --Chris Tyler 09:46, 24 February 2009 (EST)

Added Logos

I added the logos for the 5 projects/communities we work with to the bottom of the front page. Note that due to Trademark guidelines, we're required to hyperlink the Fedora logo to http://fedoraproject.org/.
