| + | * **2.7.7 release** |
| + | We are preparing a release this week, version 2.7.7. |
| + | It will contain some security fixes, one of them of a DoS type, the rest more minor stuff. |
| + | Currently we are finishing up the DoS type security fix, as we consider it important to have that one released. We hope to get this in. |
| + | Expected release date will be 3rd of September. |
| + | |
| + | - **test latency and MTU in openvpn** |
| + | A new feature is proposed for adding to master; ability to do latency and MTU tests in the OpenVPN protocol. |
| + | This would allow for a client to for example select the best available server based on test results. |
| + | The RFC for this was merged to OpenVPN protocol specification documentation. |
| + | The patch series can be found here: https://gerrit.openvpn.net/q/topic:%22oob-server-probe%22 |
| + | ralf_lici reviewed the RFC earlier, and said he would be willing to take a look at the patch series next. |

| + | |
| + | - **community meetup 2026** |
| + | Coordination is currently taking place here: https://community.openvpn.net/Meetups/2026-Paderborn |
| + | The date is around 17 and 18 October, location in Paderborn, Germany. |
| + | For the t-shirt we have some idea of what to do. Will check with designer if he can do it for us. |
| + | |
| + | * **Amount of open changes in the queue** |
| + | OpenVPN Inc. and cron2 reached a deal where he gets paid part-time to work on OpenVPN2 code reviews/merges. |
| + | We encouraged razvanc and chugly from the company to get involved in the community as well to speed up reviews. |
| + | lev also promised he would spend some more time on reviewing, after his vacation. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | * **publish also on codeberg** |
| + | Suggestion was made by cron2 to also publish openvpn2 on codeberg. OpenVPN3 Linux is already there at this time. |
| + | It would not replace github but just serve as another place to publish the code. |
| + | No clear decision made as yet. Concerns raised about new avenues of opening tickets/PRs. |
| + | |
| + | - **2.7 security audit** |
| + | The security audit was completed for 2.7.0 and results are available internally. |
| + | We are working to publish this in an official blog post. ordex and novaflash are driving this in OpenVPN Inc. internally. |
| + | |
| + | * **Coordinating big changes** |
| + | A related discussion is how to handle big changesets (e.g. currently the multipeer changes from plaisthos and the |
| + | oob changes from lev). There was some unhappiness that these changesets are dropped without sufficient context and |
| + | that makes it hard to keep track of all the developments. One advise is that developers that want to have big (or many) |
| + | changes merged are encouraged to write a mail to the mailing list to provide a "cover letter" for the patch set and |
| + | a convenient place to discuss the overall direction without getting bogged down in the discussion of individual changes. |
| + | We have lost this practice since not generally using mail-based patchsets anymore. That can be also a good opportunity |
| + | to point out dicussions happening in PRs for the RFC document. |
