| 8 | ## Current Topics |
|||
| 9 | ||||
| 10 | - **Planning to have a new release of OpenVPN 2.6 around March 8th.** |
|||
| 11 | ||||
| 12 | - **2.6 Release - Any New Feedback, Anything Vital?** |
|||
| 13 | - A DCO with BSOD on systems with legacy standby modes, Lev reproduced and fixed it. |
|||
| 14 | - Azure VPN gateway has their own implementation of OpenVPN that is incompatible with 2.6. |
|||
| 15 | Lev contacted them and offered to help to find and resolve the problem. |
|||
| 16 | - We should prepare an I005 release today and get that pushed out. |
|||
| 17 | ||||
| 18 | - **License Amendment for OpenVPN2 to Solve openssl/mbedtls Licensing Issues** |
|||
| 19 | - Current status is that we know for sure from a legal expert that an exception addition is necessary. |
|||
| 20 | - A refined and lawyer-approved proposal is ready to be sent to the mailing list. |
|||
| 21 | ||||
| 22 | - **Hackathon Blog Post on OpenVPN Website is Ready** |
|||
| 23 | - This is about the hackathon in Delft in November. |
|||
| 24 | - Community review is requested - if it's good to go it will be published. |
|||
| 25 | ||||
| 26 | - **Press Release of 2.6** |
|||
| 27 | - In progress. A draft was made and edited by the community quite a bit. |
|||
| 28 | - It will now go to the OpenVPN marketing team for polishing and publishing. |
|||
| 29 | ||||
| 30 | - **Review DCO-for-Linux Release Status** |
|||
| 31 | - Working on making control packets go through transport socket instead of netlink. Easy for UDP, not so easy for TCP. |
|||
| 32 | - Looks like Ordex will have this change ready for the upcoming 2.6.1 release. We'll rename the DCO module to ovpn-dco2 then. |
|||
| 33 | - Next item is TCP notification missing under heavy load bug. Will retest after control channel moved to socket. |
|||
| 34 | ||||
| 35 | - **Status of PoC Using Gerrit for Code Review** |
|||
| 36 | - Gerrit proof of concept is online. |
|||
| 37 | - Goal seems to have settled on - we want to keep existing mailing list since not everyone will be using Gerrit. But Gerrit will add easier review abilities. |
|||
| 38 | - So Gerrit has to send emails to mailing list, pick up patches from mailing list, and review responses to emails sent to mailing list should feed also into Gerrit. |
|||
| 39 | - Uddr will set up a PoC with a dummy repo so we can start testing out some email functionality of Gerrit. |
|||
| 40 | ||||
| 41 | - **Website Release Process Woes** |
|||
| 42 | - Work started on an API to allow updates at any time on the main website for the community downloads section. |
|||
| 43 | ||||

|||
| 47 | - Mattock made a new forums system that runs on Rocky Linux 8 as agreed with Ecrist. |
|||
