Hi, Here's the summary of today's IRC meeting.
--- COMMUNITY MEETING Place: #openvpn-meeting on irc.freenode.net Date: Monday 22nd August 2016 Time: 20:00 CEST (18:00 UTC) Planned meeting topics for this meeting were here: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2016-08-22> The next meeting has not been scheduled yet. Your local meeting time is easy to check from services such as <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock> SUMMARY cron3, dazo, jamesyonan, mattock, OSTIF-Derek, syzzer, Thermi and valdikss participated in this meeting. --- Discussed the Mozilla SOS grant which OSTIF.org wishes to apply for on behalf of the the OpenVPN project. The goal is to have an external party (of Mozilla's choosing) do an audit of the OpenVPN codebase. It was agreed that this plan makes sense, and that the audit should focus on late OpenVPN 2.4 beta or RC version, instead of current stable versions (e.g. 2.3.12). If the grant application is rejected, then OSTIF.org will resort to their backup plan, which is to raise money from VPN providers using OpenVPN. A secure channel for discussing any found zero-day exploits is required, and several alternatives were proposed. --- Discussed an issue with .ovpn file associations in Windows. It would be best if clicking on a .ovpn file would bring up a gui that asks "do you want to import this, or start it right away". Valdikss has planned on doing a GUI such as that, and will hopefully provide a patch soon. --- Discussed OpenVPN 2.3.12 release. It was agreed that the release/2.3 branch contains enough "stuff" for a release. It was decided to make the release tomorrow (Tue) afternoon. --- Discussed [PATCH v2]: Drop recursively routed packets from Lev: <https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/message/34737757/> Cron3 gave the patch an ACK. It was agreed to merge it to "release/2.3" and "master" branches, so that it can go to 2.3.12, and to optimize and refactor the patch later in "master" branch. Cron3 volunteered to do the refactoring. --- Discuss the "Do not pass env for system commands on Linux/Windows/OS X patchset from valdikss": <https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/message/35265481> Cron3 had given the current implementation a NACK earlier, and dazo gave his during the meeting. An alternative implementation was also suggested. The pre-meeting discussion is also available in the attached chatlog. --- Discussed "block-outside-dns and multiple tunnels": <https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/message/35263770/> <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/718> It was agreed to move this forward by looking into the approaches suggested by Selva, and by giving him feedback. --- Discussed testing on Windows. There is one particular patch which needs careful testing: <https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/message/35180749/> While this one can be tested manually, we should automate testing Windows-specific features such as "--ip-win32", netsh, api, service later. Test automation was not seen as a blocker for 2.4.0. Mattock will create a Wiki page for Windows testing, and content will be added there by others as needed. The Windows testing project will be announced in a separate email to openvpn-devel mailing list. -- Discussed various ways to archive our emails now that Gmane is gone. Dazo has added our mailing lists to mail-archive.com. Mattock will see if he could export some of the emails from SF.net archives and import them to mail-archive.com. Meanwhile ecrist is looking into self-hosting our email archives using pipermail. -- Full chatlog has been attached to this email. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
