## who
4
This year's hackathon is organized by Steffan Karger (syzzer) and sponsored by Fox-IT.
5
6
We will stick to the format of the previous years, which means attendance is in principle limited to "active developers that are also regularly contributing to #openvpn-devel or the mailing list". We should have enough space in the meeting room for ~16 devs.

## what?
39
40
So what is the goal of the Hackathon?
41
42
* Meet in person, talk about things
43
* contributors agreement (CLA) for OpenVPN 3
44
* future development of 2.x and 3.x
45
* Hack on the 2.4 codebase - there's a number of "large" things we could try to tackle
46
* new data packet format proposed for AEAD and "null-compression"
47
* openvpn interactive service - get code in git tree
48
* async plugin patch, inotify async auth patch (Lev)
49
* IPv6 gateway detection (rgi6)?
50
* how to handle servers with v4+v6 addresses and roaming clients (3G/wifi) that roam from between various brokenness variants, like "from v6+NAT64 3G to native v6 Wifi" or "to v4-only Wifi", etc.
51
* Go through the list of pending patches and ACK/NACK them or assign person to review them
52
* Work on open trac issues
53
* lots of things to review and bugs to fix
54
55
We're all open for additions here - I think the meetings in Brussels and Munich 2013 + 2014 have shown that "just being able to sit together and hack" is a useful exercise.
56
57
## Internet
58
59
A wireless guest network with internet access is available at the meeting location for sure. We will probably be able to throw a switch on the table for wired connections too (no promises yet).

61
## accommodation
62
63
Most people stay at the [WestCord hotel](http://www.westcordhoteldelft.com/locations/delft): very close to the Fox-IT office
64
65
Alternatively, you can opt for the slightly more expensive [Hampshire Hotel](http://www.hoteldelftcentre.nl/?lang=en): farther away from the office, but closer to downtown Delft.
