| + | |
| + | - **Updated: community meetup 2026** |
| + | When: the weekend of 17 and 18 october, 2026 (decided by poll https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/VnbRxE6iKdWECLbW) |
| + | Where: Paderborn, Germany. |
| + | Meeting room: Potentially https://www.welcome-hotels.com/en/hotels/paderborn/events/ |
| + | Beer: recommendation against local paderborner beer, although it is cheap. |
| + | |
| + | - **Updated: Release 2.7** |
| + | We unfortunately had to deal with another issue so the stable release was again postponed. |
| + | OpenVPN 2.7rc6 was released 28 January. |
| + | The stable release 2.7.0 is currently planned for 11 February. |
| + | |
| + | - **Updated: Release 2.6.18** |
| + | A small bugfix release is planned for today. |
| + | |
| + | - **mbedtls support** |
| + | The plan is to get to mbedtls4 implementation in OpenVPN 2.7 in some version after 2.7.0. |
| + | In ongoing work MaxF reports that --dh is not possible/needed with mbedtls, so will come up with some solution for users with configs that have it. |
| + | |
| + | - **forums situation** |
| + | Eduardo from website team is currently working on the forums. |
| + | Due to holidays this was on hold for a bit but we're back on it now. |
| + | Most things work now, there are some inconveniences that will require manual intervention like removing spam posts and handling duplicate account issues. |
| + | We will continue to work on it and test it and make it ready for a big switch. |
| + | |
| + | - **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. |
| + | |
| + | ## 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. |
