| + | * **Updated: 2.7.6 release** |
| + | We want to do another release soonish due to some pending security fixes. But we're not ready this week so |
| + | it is planned for next week (~ July 29). One of the two security fixes doesn't seem to be worth an embargo, |
| + | so we decided to handle the review through Gerrit. MaxF will move his PR to there. Will need a 2.6.22 as well. |

| + | # Backlog |
| + | |
| + | - **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. |
| + | RFC PR is at https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-rfc/pull/30 and an early initial implementation is available from lev. |
| + | |
| + | - **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. |
| + | ordex has volunteered to update and polish the page, fill in some further details. |
| + | |
| + | - **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. |
| + | |
| + | * **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. |
| + | |
| + | * **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. |
