OpenVPN Hackathon 2015
Table of Contents
who
This year's hackathon is organized by Steffan Karger (syzzer) and sponsored by Fox-IT.
We will stick to the format of the previous years, which means attendance is in pinciple limited to "active developers that are also regularily contributing to #openvpn-devel or the mailing list". We should have enough space in the meeting room for ~16 devs.

what?
So what is the goal of the Hackathon?
- meet in person, talk about things
- contributors agreement (CLA) for OpenVPN 3
- future development of 2.x and 3.x
- hack on the 2.4 codebase - there's a number of "large" things we could try to tackle
- new data packet format proposed for AEAD and "null-compression"
- openvpn interactive service - get code in git tree
- async plugin patch, inotify async auth patch (Lev)
- IPv6 gateway detection (rgi6)?
- how to handle servers with v4+v6 addresses and roaming clients (3G/wifi) that roam from between various brokenness variants, like "from v6+NAT64 3G to native v6 Wifi" or "to v4-only Wifi", etc.
- Go through the list of pending patches and ACK/NACK them or assign person to review them
- work on open trac issues
- lots of things to review and bugs to fix
We're all open for additions here - I think the meetings in Brussels and Munich 2013 + 2014 have shown that "just being able to sit together and hack" is a useful excercise.
Internet
A wireless guest network with internet access is available at the meeting location for sure. We will probably be able to throw a switch on the table for wired connections too (no promises yet).
accomodation
Most people stay at the WestCord hotel: very close to the Fox-IT office
Alternatively, you can opt for the slightly more expensive Hampshire Hotel: farther away from the office, but closer to downtown Delft.
