* **Updated: 2.7.x release**
- Version 2.7.9 is expected to be released tomorrow 4 November.
- It will again have a number of security fixes in there.
- 4 weeks following that yet another release will be done.
-
- * **New: add openvpn-rfc repo to gerrit for reviewing**
- Currently changes to the OpenVPN RFC documents are reviewing on github.
+ Version 2.7.9 was released on 4 November. It contains mostly client side security fixes.
+ The next release 2.7.10 is planned for 2 December and will likely contain further bugfixes and possible security fixes.
+
+ * **Updated: donations**
+ We have no official donations program at the moment, but it looks like we may be able to arrange something.
+ The difficulty was in who or what agency would arrange the incoming donations and technical and administrative details.
+ We seem to have found a suitable partner for this; https://opencollective.com/openvpn-foss-project
+
+ * **Closed: add openvpn-rfc repo to gerrit for reviewing**
+ Changes to the OpenVPN RFC documents were reviewed only on github in the past.
There is a strong preference to do this on gerrit like other openvpn2 patches.
- uddr35 said he will look into it.
+ This has been implemented and it is now preferred to use gerrit for RFC patches and reviews now.
# Backlog
- * **Updated: 2.7.x release**
- Originally 2.7.8 was planned for last week, but a last moment fix for Windows DCO driver made us decide to postpone till today.
- 2.7.8 with the Windows DCO driver update will go out today.
- Version 2.7.9 is now planned for 4 November.
-
- **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.

- * **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.
