= OpenVPN Hackathon 2013 =

== who ==

This is organized by Gert Döring (cron2) and sponsored by Spacenet AG (http://www.space.net/).

We have space for about 10 people in the conference room I have booked so far, so I'd limit this to "active developers that are also regularily contributing to #openvpn-devel or the mailing list".  If there is overwhelming interest, I can get a larger room, but then the address listed below would change (still in Munich, but not as centrally located).

== where? ==

We'll meet in one of the office locations of Spacenet.  The address is:

{{{
SpaceNet AG
Landsberger Strasse 155
80687 München (Munich)
Germany
}}}

see [https://maps.google.de/maps?q=Landsberger+Stra%C3%9Fe+155,+M%C3%BCnchen&hl=de&ie=UTF8&ll=48.139892,11.526031&spn=0.002957,0.003358&sll=48.917413,11.407993&sspn=4.216739,6.877441&oq=landsb&hnear=Landsberger+Stra%C3%9Fe+155,+Laim+80687+M%C3%BCnchen&t=h&z=18 google maps].  The entrance is in the upper left corner on the inside of the "#" formed building.

This location is easy to reach by car or by public transport (Tram from central station). Details will follow.

== when? ==

The hackathon will take place from Nov 15 (Friday), 2013 to Nov 17 (Sunday).  The room is ours for the full 3 days, and I (cron2) will be there at Friday 09:30-ish.  I have no confirmed arrival dates from anyone else yet...

== food ==

I'll sponsor soft drinks and snacks, and the conference room.  Depending on the number of people in the end, I'll sponsor a "Weisswurstfrühstück" for Sunday.

For lunch, there's lots of nice small restaurants in the area, so we'll find something better than in Brussels.

For dinner, nothing particular has been planned yet.

== 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
   * GPL violation on multiple apps on the play store
 * hack on the 2.4 codebase - there's a number of "large" things we could try to tackle
   * dual-stack patches
   * openvpn interactive service
 * work on open trac issues
   * lots of things to review and bugs to fix

I'm all open for additions here - I think the meetings in Brussels have shown that "just being able to sit together and hack" is a useful excercise.  Add reasonable food, air condition, etc. and things should be even better.

== Internet ==

of course there will be free WiFi available, and for bandwidth junkies, wired Internet as well :-) - Spacenet is an Internet service provider, and that's one of their core locations, connected with multiple 10Gbit links to the world...

== accomodation ==

* "Motel One Munich City West" has been recommended as "being close, reasonably priced, and generally OK"
