OpenVPN Hackathon 2016

who

This year's hackathon is organized by Lev Stipakov (lev).

We will stick to the format of the previous years, which means attendance is in pinciple limited to "active developers that are also regularily contributing to #openvpn-devel or the mailing list". We should have enough space in the meeting room for ~10 devs.

where?

The meeting is held at the office of F-Secure: Tammasaarenkatu 7, Helsinki, Finland. You will be given a temporary ID card at the front desk.

Probably the closest hotel is Holiday Inn Ruoholahti.

Both hotel and our office are easily reachable by public transport - there is a metro station Ruoholahti a few hundred meters away. From the Helsinki Vantaa Airport you could take a train to Helsinki Central Railway Station (Rautatientori) and from there 2 metro stops to Ruoholahti.

If you have any questions - please contact Lev at +358 40 0453610.

when?

The hackathon will take place from Sep 16 (Friday), 2016 to Sep 18 (Sunday).

what?

So what is the goal of the Hackathon?

  • Introduce a IV_PROTO=3 and remove -master only but alwyas there IV_xx? (every compression also as V2 version, IV_RGI6, IV_TCPNL (when implemeted before 2.4))
  • 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
    • support for negotiable ciphers and "null-compression"
    • support for control channel encryption ('tls-crypt') and user-specific tls-auth ('tls-cookie')
    • 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.
    • quick feedback discussion on D-Bus
    • FIPS mode - is that something we need to consider? Trac ticket #725
  • 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 (2011+2012), Munich (2013+2014) and Delft (2015) have shown that "just being able to sit together and hack" is a useful excercise.
