| + | # Topics |
| + | |
| + | - **Reminder: cancelled meetings** |
| + | On December 24 and December 31 there will be no community meetings, for obvious reasons. |
| + | |
| + | - **Updated: Release 2.7** |
| + | Release 2.7rc4 is being shipped today. |
| + | The stable release is tentatively planned for January 14. |
| + | |
| + | - **Updated: forums situation** |
| + | Eduardo from website team is currently working on the forums. |
| + | Latest news is that a recent database import worked, and various nonsense HTML tags were cleaned up. |
| + | The password reset doesn't work yet so that's being looked into. |
| + | Currently this new forum is not available to the public yet. |
| + | Current estimate is being able to switch to new forums in Q1 2026 somewhere. |
| + | |
| + | - **Updated: mbedTLS** |
| + | mbedTLS 4 does things quite differently, and the legacy stuff from mbedTLS 2 is in the way. |
| + | So an effort is underway to rip out the mbedTLS 2 stuff and replace it with mbedTLS 4 stuff. |
| + | |
| + | - **2.7 security audit** |
| + | There are still things ongoing in regards to the security audit but no new major findings so far. |
| + | Still have items to review and go through, but this is ongoing. |
| + | |
| + | - **community meetup 2026** |
| + | Where: Tentatively in Paderborn, Germany. |
| + | Meeting room: Potentially https://www.welcome-hotels.com/en/hotels/paderborn/events/ |
| + | Beer: recommendation against local paderborner beer, although it is cheap. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | ## Backlog |
| + | |
| + | - **t_server and t_client testing framework** |
| + | mattock asked where to put the t_server stack as it is currently on ordex's open source fund funded AWS account but funds might dry up there. |
| + | Discussed option to move it to OpenVPN Inc. funded AWS community account. Will explore this option. |
| + | Needs to be picked up by either djpig or uddr. |
| + | |
| + | - **Tunnelcrack progress (see TunnelCrack community wiki article)** |
| + | Status update on TunnelCrack mitigations: |
| + | The tunnelcrack mitigation for Windows has gone in master, which will go to 2.7 release. There is the possibility for it to go to 2.6.x if we can find testers for this. |
| + | Windows, openvpn2: block-local merged to master, not to 2.6.x. openvpn3: in code review. |
| + | Linux, openvpn2: in progress. openvpn3: in progress. |
| + | macOS: to be determined. |
| + | iOS: to be determined. |
| + | Android: not vulnerable. |
| + | |
| + | - **donation collection** |
| + | From earlier exploration it is clear that setting up a legal entity is not worth the expense at this point. We're just starting out with donations. |
| + | What we can do is start out with an existing company that can collect the money and puts it to good community use. ordex volunteers to take this on. |
| + | There are some options to consider. There may be existing solutions that we want to consider. |
| + | PayPal seems overly expensive with all their fees. |
| + | Stripe could be worth considering for credit card processing. |
| + | GitHub Sponsors was mentioned as a possible solution, this is worth investigating. |
| + | Open Collective was also mentioned, that needs some investigating how that exactly would work for us. |
