# Topics
- - **Updated: DCO testing**
- ralf implemented a test system for DCO kernel module. He added RHEL platforms as per discussion.
- This currently tests both ovpn-dco-v2 (for 2.6 and older openvpn) and ovpn-backports (for 2.7 and above).
- We recently had an issue where Debian12 broke something for us in a small kernel update, we will now be able to spot this quickly.
- More details: https://community.openvpn.net/DataChannelOffload/CI%20for%20DCO%20Linux
+ * **2.7.5 release**
+ We want to do another release soonish due to some pending security fixes. We're not sure the changes will
+ be ready for next week, or whether we need another two weeks. Will need to reassess at the start of next week.
+
+ * **Amount of open changes in the queue**
+ Some discussion about the number of open patches (e.g. about 120 open changes in Gerrit). We definitely need to
+ look into our processes again and how to spread all that work reviewing, testing, and integrating. Likely also a
+ topic for the 2026 Community Meetup in Paderborn. djpig is working on better documenting the current processes,
+ see e.g. [1776: Start a new document CODE_CHECKLIST](https://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/1776) in Gerrit.
- - **New: CVE handling during holidays**
+ * **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.

+ - **CVE handling during holidays**
Due to holidays, temporarily evaluation of CVE and assigning IDs is postponed. This will be for approximately 3 weeks.
Reports will still be able to come in but determining if it's an actual CVE or not and assigning an ID will have to wait.

- **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.
Idea is to allow to do a 'best server selection' type of logic, in case there are multiple servers available to connect to.
