| + | * **Updated: 2.7.x release** |
| + | A few more security fixes are coming in 2.7.8, and this is planned for October 1st. |
| + | |
| + | * **Updated: 2.6.x release** |
| + | Some security fixes recently released in 2.7.7 didn't apply cleanly to 2.6.x. |
| + | Backporting it to 2.6 is ongoing, and a release for that is expected next week. |
| + | |
| + | - **Updated: 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. |
| + | This is currently under review: https://gerrit.openvpn.net/q/topic:%22oob-server-probe%22 |
| + | The design document is here: https://github.com/lstipakov/openvpn/blob/server-probe-design/design-server-probe.md |

| + | - **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. |
| + | |
| + | - **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. |
