- **Updated: Release 2.7**  
  Currently working to prepare a fix for an issue found with OpenVPN interactive service on Windows.  
  Then we'll prepare a 2.7rc3.  
  
- **Updated: Release 2.6.17**  
  The same issue found for Windows also needs a new 2.6 release.  
  Also with release 2.6.16 compatibility with Windows 7 was accidentally broken and this will be fixed.  

- **Updated: 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.  

- **Updated: 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.  

- **2.7 security audit**  
  ordex arranged mostly through STF funding to get a security audit of OpenVPN 2.7 (currently in release candidate phase).  
  Recently this has kicked off and 2.7 is being put through the meat grinder now by SRLabs.  
  We are processing these reports as well as reports from ZeroPath and addressing concerns raised.  

- **forums situation**  
  minx from OpenVPN Inc. originally set up flarum and started migration process, but he left the company before completion.  
  Now we have eduardo at OpenVPN Inc. who is taking a look and he managed to get migration working.  
  He suggests some further migration testing, and to then plan a hard cutover date.  
  Current time schedule somewhere in November or December.
