- Can we have someone at OpenVPN create nicer windows traybar logos (#1276)?
matt is currently working on it in https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui/issues/595
selva had some comments about the icons, matt has been pinged to look into it.
- IPv6 to community.
cloudflare ipv6 compatibility is turned off on openvpn.net because company is worried it might break something.
ultimated from community: give us a date when ipv6 will be turned on, or we move to another domain.
Topics on standby
- Website release process woes
website team did not deliver solution as promised in february. they now promise this month. we shall see.
- SBOM topic
cron2 was asked if openvpn has a software bill of materials. answer was no.
coincidentally, in openvpn inc a security requirement is to have an SBOM so this is on our list of things to do
when we pick up this task we can coordinate on it.

are there any features that we have in mind that will not make it into 2.6.*?
signal handling respin
2.6 refactor
bloom filter ddos reflection protection.
- Forums machine on community infrastructure is only non-Linux system.
mattock made a new forums system that runs on rocky linux 8 as agreed with ecrist.
ecrist has looked at it but the current state of the migration is unknown.
- Have to remember to update SupportedVersions to put 2.4 out of support at around end of March
- OpenVPN 2.6 performance results.
We should work on an article to publish some performance results when 2.6 is out as stable. but first press release.
- Management interface documentation on main website will be updated with info from doc/management-notes.txt
novaflash will pick this up again now that he is back.
- https://openvpn.net/community-resources/openvpn-quickstart/ will be updated from /doc/man-sections/example-fingerprint.rst information.
Static-key will be deprecated and contents updated with peer-fingerprint stuff.
