OpenVPN Hackathon 2018

This year's hackathon is organized by Andriy Revin and David Sommerseth

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 10-14 devs.

Who is coming?

Where?

The meeting is held at the OpenVPN office in Lviv (Ukraine): Shevchenka Ave 5.

Lviv Danylo Halytskyi International Airport is quite close to the city. Best way of public transport is via Uber.

If you have any questions - please contact Andriy Revin (andriy @ openvpn.net).

When?

The hackathon will take place from Friday October 5th 2018 to Sunday October 7th.

What?

  1. What features do we want in 2.5? Set the timeline accordingly. (See the OpenVPN 2.5 status page).
    • tls-crypt v2, sitnl, vlan patches, ipv6-only, transport plug-in?
    • MSI packaging?
    • EasyRSA 3 for Windows (NSIS/MSI) installers?
  2. Should OpenVPN be a "swiss army knife" or "secure vpn client for dummies"
    • Could the split between OpenVPN 2.x and 3.x reflect these two roles?
  3. Feature changes
    • Do we need --opt-verify? Is this a feature strictly needed these days?
  4. MSI packaging
    • Available for testing for tap-windows6, but not yet for OpenVPN 2

Input

TBD

Internet

Free wifi network is available at the office

Accommodation

There are many options with hotels and Airbnb alternatives in walking distance from the office (5-10 minutes). Most reasonably priced hotels are fairly small and availability is varying a lot, but double check against hotels.com, booking.com, trivago.com or similar sites to ensure you get a good price.

Some hotels close by (4-8 minutes walk):
