Lev looking into venue. ### 2.7 Plans, If Any? - [Status of OpenVPN 2.7](https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/StatusOfOpenvpn27) ### Status of PoC Using Gerrit for Code Review - Buildbot builds from Gerrit should work now for all workers. Please use! ### Security Assessment of OpenVPN2 Codebase - Dazo has the final report and is reviewing. Will raise any remaining issues. ### License Amendment for OpenVPN2 to Solve openssl/mbedtls Licensing Issues - Current status: [OpenVPN License Change](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-license-change) - Issue with a particular contributor looks to be resolved. - Now only 6 people remaining to approve. - Novaflash will assist plaisthos next week with trying to contact them. ## Topics on Standby ### security@openvpn.net Mailing List - Company is trying to get SOC2 compliance. - Probably will need a simple NDA to be signed by recipients of emails to security@openvpn.net. - Company guy took standard NDA we use for contractors, suggests to use that. - Novaflash thinks we should review that first to see if it's really suitable or not, community members are not contractors after all. ### Website Release Process Woes - Website team claims their solution is 95% done. We'll see. ### Another Key Signing Topic - Company switched EV code signing to CloudHSM, this is same cert type we use for driver signing, is also suitable for binary signing. - In future we could possibly switch community to that same key. Saves having to maintain 2 different keys. - Depends on how hard/easy it is to access company key signing thingee from community infrastructure. - Also no high priority at the moment, we have a working solution now. ### Can We Have Someone at OpenVPN Create Nicer Windows Traybar Logos (#1276)? - Matt is currently working on it in [OpenVPN GUI Issue #595](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/issues/595) ### SBOM Topic - Cron2 was asked if OpenVPN has a Software Bill of Materials. Answer was no. - Coincidentally, in OpenVPN Inc a security requirement is to have an SBOM so this is on our list of things to do. - When we pick up this task we can coordinate on it. ### Forums Machine on Community Infrastructure Is Only Non-Linux System. - Mattock made a new forums system that runs on Rocky Linux 8 as agreed with Ecrist. - Ecrist has looked at it but the current state of the migration is unknown. ### OpenVPN 2.6 Performance Results - We should work on an article to publish some performance results when 2.6 is out as stable. But first press release. ### Management Interface Documentation on Main Website Will Be Updated - With info from `doc/management-notes.txt`. - Novaflash will pick this up at some point. ### [OpenVPN Quickstart](https://openvpn.net/community-resources/openvpn-quickstart/) Will Be Updated - From `/doc/man-sections/example-fingerprint.rst` information. - Static-key will be deprecated and contents updated with peer-fingerprint stuff. - Novaflash will pick this up again as time permits and other more important topics are done.
