# OpenVPN Hackathon 2015 ## who This year's hackathon is organized by Steffan Karger (syzzer) and sponsored by Fox-IT. 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. ## who is coming? | Name | Topics | Arrival | Departure | |-----------------|--------------------------------------|-------------------|--------------------------| | Steffan Karger | Crypto stuff | ∞ | ∞ | | Gert Döring | IPv6 RGI | Fri around 14:30 | Sun, around 13:00-13:30 | | Jan Just Keijser| PKCS!#11, speed | Fri morning | Sun, late afternoon | | Arne Schwabe | IPv6/IPv4 Handover | Thr | Sun 14:35 train | | Samuli Seppänen | OpenVPN 2.4/3.x | Fri afternoon | Sun, ~15:30 | | Lev Stipakov | inotify, occ_server_exit, etc | Thr evening | Sun, ~15:30 | | David Sommerseth| systemd, user/pass auth | Thu afternoon (KL1144) | Mon, early morning (KL1145) | | Adriaan de Jong | Crypto stuff, planning | ∞ | ∞ | | James Yonan | - | Thu | - | ## where?

The hackathon will take place from Oct 9 (Friday), 2015 to Oct 11 (Sunday). ## food Fox-IT will provide for breakfast, lunch, coffee, soft drinks, etc. during daytime. ## what? So what is the goal of the Hackathon? * Meet in person, talk about things * contributors agreement (CLA) for OpenVPN 3 * future development of 2.x and 3.x * Hack on the 2.4 codebase - there's a number of "large" things we could try to tackle * new data packet format proposed for AEAD and "null-compression" * openvpn interactive service - get code in git tree * async plugin patch, inotify async auth patch (Lev) * IPv6 gateway detection (rgi6)? * 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. * Go through the list of pending patches and ACK/NACK them or assign person to review them * Work on open trac issues * lots of things to review and bugs to fix 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. ## Internet 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). ## accommodation Most people stay at the [WestCord hotel](http://www.westcordhoteldelft.com/locations/delft): very close to the Fox-IT office 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. ## results
