* Place: #openvpn-meeting channel on Freenode IRC network

= Topics =

* Interactive Service
 * Review the service component
* The Windows service
 * openvpnserv.exe is crude, has many issues (e.g. [ticket:595 ticket #595] and [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/9237/focus=11040 Selva's email]) and nobody has stepped in to fix the code
 * There is now a drop-in replacement, [https://github.com/xkjyeah/openvpnserv2 openvpnserv2], written in C#
 * [https://github.com/mattock/ovpnsvcsetup mattock's ovpnsvcsetup] (a simple configuration frontend for [http://nssm.cc/ NSSM]) has not progressed much due to lack of time
 * Questions:
  * What do we do about openvpnserv.exe?
  * How do we handle reviews if we decide to make the service component a separate subproject?
  * Do we bundle openvpnserv.exe (replacement) in the standard installers or make it a separate download?
  * Implementation details for openvpnserv.exe
   * Handling of sleep+resume: should the service forcibly kill openvpn.exe on sleep, or restart it only if/when it dies after resume? Usability issues (e.g. broken connections)?
* [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/10998 Update --block-outside-dns to work on Windows Vista]
