Hi, Here's the summary of the previous IRC meeting / sprint.
--- COMMUNITY MEETING Place: #openvpn-devel on irc.freenode.net List-Post: openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Thursday 19th Jan 2012 Time: 18:00 UTC Planned meeting topics for this meeting were on this page: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2012-01-19> Next meeting will be announced in advance, but will probably be on the same weekday and at the same time. Your local meeting time is easy to check from services such as <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock> or with $ date -u SUMMARY cron2, dazo, ecrist and mattock participated in this meeting. -- Discussed Bruessels/FOSDEM hackfests. Agreed that arranging them on Sat-Sun (4.-5. Feb) makes most sense for all. The goal is to complete three related mini-projects: 1) The "squash/close as many bugs as possible" 2) Complete all tasks holding back 2.3 alpha and make the release 3) Review d12fk's Windows patches that got stuck to the patch queue All of these should be doable within the given timeframe. -- Discussed vBulletin's OpenVPN theme. According to raidz, the theme should be ready next Monday. --- Full chatlog as an attachment -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock
cron2 20.01.45 meeting! mattock 20.02.06 yep https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topics-2012-01-19 20.02.35 vpnHelper 20.04.06 Title: Topics-2012-01-19 â OpenVPN Community (at community.openvpn.net) mattock 20.04.23 so, we only have one major topic today... which is "what should we do at FOSDEM/Bruessels OpenVPN-vise"? 20.04.47 three suggestions on the topic list already 20.05.49 dazo 20.06.28 The first suggestion on the agenda is mine .... as I see we have a lot of open issues in Trac, and I hope the main reason they're open are that people just don't have time to look at these things ... some of them are really easy to fix, at first glance so a little hackfest where we could quickly spread some tasks, hack on them, get them acked quick ... that'd would be kind of ideal, I think 20.07.00 (at least to start on those with a current/expired milestones first, then look at those without milestones) 20.07.26 (future milestones, as in v2.4, is less important now) 20.07.41 cron2 20.08.04 I'm fine with that. Hacking together with folks is more fun than going at it alone. dazo 20.08.14 yepp cron2 20.08.17 (and I'll be away from home, so I have nothing to disturb ) dazo 20.08.23 mattock 20.08.38 one thing we'd need to decide is a rough schedule for these hackfests 20.08.53 and maybe somebody would also like to visit FOSDEM, too 20.09.06 dazo 20.09.55 Yeah, I know there are some sessions I'd like to go too ... but there are things which are less (or not at all) interesting too mattock 20.11.43 I'll check "what's left" for 2.3 alpha dazo 20.12.20 For me, I'll give priority to OpenVPN times ... so I'll adapt things completely to that .... it's so much to look at there, so it's probably never going to be an ideal time for anyone however, I'm the Thursday - Monday; so Friday and/or Sunday after fosdem are also options for me 20.13.13 mattock 20.13.23 me too I'll be leaving at around 19:00 on Sunday I think 20.14.06 we can probably arrange our schedule when we meet 20.14.42 just keep the hackfests in mind 20.14.57 cron2 20.17.12 the keynote starts saturday 10:00 mattock 20.18.15 ...closing finished 2.3 alpha ticket s 20.18.16 cron2 20.18.25 finding a place to do the hackfest could get interesting dazo 20.19.17 closest pub? mattock 20.19.51 maybe a private room in a restaurant? or shamelessly go to someone's hotel room? e.g. mine? 20.19.59 we have "free wifi (for extra charge)" there 20.20.20 dazo 20.20.42 works for me mattock 20.20.43 btw. there are two of my tickets left for 2.3 alpha (tapinstall.exe -related and buildbot) cron2 20.20.45 *doesn't go to hotel rooms with men* dazo 20.20.55 hehehe ecrist 20.21.01 lol mattock 20.21.03 cron2: even ones with a minibar you don't have to pay? ecrist 20.21.21 cron2 - maybe dazo and mattock are really pretty? in the US we call the 'traps' 20.21.24 mattock 20.21.29 ecrist: +1 dazo 20.21.41 *suddenly got suspicious now ........* mattock 20.21.51 hahaha anyways, back to 2.3 release hackfest idea... do you think it's doable: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/report/3 20.22.32 vpnHelper 20.22.39 Title: {3} Active Tickets by Milestone â OpenVPN Community (at community.openvpn.net) dazo 20.23.25 most of those which are "2.3" related milestones, should be doable ... it's not that hefty stuff there cron2 20.23.47 #169 is fixed already, isn't it? dazo 20.23.48 there are a couple of ones, esp WinXP and suspend issues which is tricky I'd say so ... or not? 20.24.15 ecrist 20.24.25 *pokes raidz * cron2 20.24.55 I think jjo said that #97 is fixed with the new tap driver raidz 20.24.57 hey hey whats up ecrist? 20.25.04 ecrist 20.25.25 any idea on the status of forum theme dazo 20.26.12 cron2: I've understood it like that as well mattock 20.26.19 close #97? cron2 20.26.30 I just commented it and asked jjo to confirm jjk 20.26.33 dazo 20.26.50 jjo is the other ipv6 guy raidz 20.26.53 ecrist: they said it will be done on monday ecrist 20.26.57 raidz 20.26.57 just spoke to them an hour ago ecrist 20.27.55 thanks mattock 20.28.15 now, regarding automated testing infrastrure (one of my 2.3 tasks) so, I tied it to the buildbot upgrade 20.28.24 which needs to be done anyways for a number of reasons 20.28.31 buildbots should be upgraded early next week to 0.8.5 (latest version) 20.28.55 I mean, the upgrade should be ready 20.29.04 if I'm lucky, I can get automated connection tests partially working by Bruessels 20.29.34 ecrist: is the to-be public test server still available? 20.29.56 dazo 20.30.00 that would help a lot! ecrist 20.30.02 yes mattock 20.30.05 nice! once the new buldbot version is running with same functionality as the current one, I'll move on to connectivity tests 20.30.44 cron2 20.30.47 *needs to setup a freebsd 7.4 build slave* mattock 20.30.56 that should not be too difficult, because I've solved that problem once already cron2 20.31.15 (there seems to be major networking changes between 7 and 8, and I have some suspicious about OpenVPN there) mattock 20.33.10 anyways, I think we should release first 2.3 alpha even if the connectivity tests are not 100% functional at release time... what do you think? it's "alpha" after all 20.33.18 and it'd be nice to make the release in bruessels 20.33.42 dazo 20.34.21 mattock: please add on your famous todo list for buildbot ... to remove --disable-random-resolv arguments in configs mattock 20.34.31 ah, will do I would be useless without that TODO-list 20.34.45 dazo 20.34.53 that's a feature we wanted to remove slowly ... until James hit us with a patch which wasted our time mattock 20.35.29 removed the feature not so slowly, right? dazo 20.35.52 yeah well, it was removed, but also improved 20.36.01 cron2 20.36.12 any word from james about svn and git? dazo 20.36.37 kind of ... their customers are beginning to push for IPv6 cron2 20.36.42 haha mattock 20.36.53 also, I'll pave the way for AS + OpenVPN 2.3 dazo 20.36.57 so he says testing out 2.3 alpha in AS is an interesting idea for him ... mattock 20.36.58 by taking the hit myself so, once this 2.3 release thingy is past us, I'll start testing if AS would work with 2.3 alpha/beta/rc/... 20.37.29 then, when things break, I'll file bug reports to james 20.37.44 ecrist 20.38.14 I need to find new hosting or something. mattock 20.38.48 I think that's the best way to move James away from SVN and his own branch make him dependant on 2.3's features 20.39.06 s/ant/ent/g 20.39.25 dazo 20.39.51 agreed and when he is lacking features there which he had in his AS version ... he should be able to forward port those patches fairly simple 20.40.19 mattock 20.40.39 yep then we have the last hackfest... d12fk's windows patch merge 20.40.55 probably not a biggie when all of our bright minds are in the same physical place 20.41.19 dazo 20.41.39 Yeah, that one requires some preparations from my side ... as it was a lengthier discussion on some of these patches (which involved Alon as well) 20.41.43 so I want to step carefully there, which I also need to as I'm no Windows developer (which my patches have proved for each Windows patch I've sent) 20.42.32 mattock 20.42.45 well, I don't think any of those patches are blockers for 2.3 alpha 20.43.10 so, if we can sort out a good solution and send it to the ml, that's goog enough, right? 20.43.31 good 20.44.09 dazo 20.44.17 I think so d12fk is coming, right? 20.44.31 mattock 20.44.37 what about some social events? dazo: so I understood 20.44.42 wasn't he inviting us for dinner on saturday? 20.44.54 dazo 20.44.56 goodie! we need someone who knows windows far better oh true! 20.44.59 mattock 20.47.05 what about other social events? I'd like to taste some of that famous Belgian beer... dazo 20.47.33 I'm no real beer person, but I'm in to taste something *suddenly understood why mattock suggested his hotel room .... no need to go to hotel room with laptop before going out ....* 20.47.57 mattock 20.48.38 well, good point, wasn't thinking about that, though maybe a hotel has a conference room for rent or something 20.49.05 not sure how much that'd cost 20.49.10 ecrist 20.49.21 often, they'll let a guest use it for free or a business center 20.49.25 dazo 20.49.43 and iirc, mattock and I stay at the same hotel ... so that might even speak in favour of being nice too 20.49.56 mattock 20.51.21 anyways, I can take a quick look at what places we could use for the hackfests regarding which... how much time are you guys willing to allocate for those? 20.51.40 I'll be there on Tuesday, so I can spend the entire weekend hacking if necessary 20.52.09 cron2 20.52.44 I want to go and visit a few fosdem talks, but besides that, I've seen brussels and can also spend the rest of the weekend dazo 20.53.20 I basically got Friday and Monday for sightseeing, so I can spend the weekend for hacking mattock 20.53.27 I can send $fiancee on her way, so that she does not have to stay with the nerds dazo 20.53.56 clever mattock 20.54.08 so maybe most of Saturday (minus some fosdem) and most of Sunday (minus some fosdem) minus socializing, of course 20.54.18 or, as long as we can take it 20.54.29 cron2 20.54.57 yes mattock 20.55.18 I think we'll manage to do quite a lot of stuff some other topics we'd like to discuss? 20.55.56 ecrist: did you get your signed GPG key? 20.56.44 and was it signed properly? 20.56.49 dazo 20.58.10 sounds like a plan to me mattock 20.58.29 excellent! I'll write summary tomorrow 20.58.38 I hope I get basic buildbot setup more or less tackled tomorrow 20.58.56 see you later, nice to have a meeting after a long pause! 20.59.24 6th Dec 2011 was the last one 20.59.30 dazo 20.59.50 thx!
