| 79 | === Developer IRC channel === |
| 80 | |
| 81 | The developer IRC channel (#openvpn-devel at irc.freenode.net) is most straightforward way to contact the developers. At the moment (8th Aug 2011) most active developers are in Europe, so the best time to talk to them is between 9-22 (9AM-10PM) UTC. Most of the discussion on the IRC is informal, but we do have [wiki:IrcMeetings scheduled IRC meetings], too. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | '''NOTE:''' As of late July 2011 joining the #openvpn-devel channel requires being logged in to IRC using a registered Freenode nickname and password. Instructions for registering are available [http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup here]. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | === Windows IRC channel === |
| 86 | |
| 87 | The #openvpn-windows IRC channel on Freenode is for people who work on OpenVPN for Windows: developers, packagers, testers and power users. Any development questions related to [https://github.com/OpenVPN/tap-windows6 tap-windows6], [https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-build openvpn-build] or [https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui openvpn-gui] should preferably be directed to this channel. |

| 89 | === Developer mailing list === |
| 90 | |
| 91 | The [http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=48978 openvpn-devel mailinglist] is the main communication channel for OpenVPN (OSS) developers. If you [http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=48978 subscribe to it], you will be able to follow the development process very closely. All other, important things (e.g. IRC meetings and meeting summaries) will be announced on the mailinglist. |

| 94 | |
| 95 | === Security issues list === |
| 96 | |
| 97 | If you have found a potential security issue in OpenVPN you can send email to the private OpenVPN security list (security at openvpn dot net). You do not need to be subscribed to send mail there, but ''please'' do not misuse the list by sending generic support requests there, or you will just get flogged and redirected to the proper support channels. |
