SUMMARY

cron2, mattock and syzzer participated in this meeting.

---

Discussed replacing openvpnserv.exe with NSSM. Everybody was ok with the 
plan of (mattock) writing a HTML application (.hta) that allows 
simplified management of nssm+openvpn. Technically this application will 
combine some HTML with Javascript and Windows Script Host (shell) 
commands to produce a simple OpenVPN-specific NSSM configuration GUI.

Discussed the recent malicious project file modifications by SourceForge:

<https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-plus-plus-leaves-sf.html>
<https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2015-May/msg00144.html>

As our project does not host (recent) files on SF.net we don't _need_ to 
leave immediately. However, the old (obsolete) files that we have lying 
around in SF.net should be deleted unless we can disable the "Files" 
feature in SF.net altogether. Mattock will take care of this.

We will for now continue using the SourceForge.net mailing lists. If 
SF.net continues its malpractices we can easily export subscriber lists 
and move our mailing list hosting elsewhere.

---

Moved tickets to appropriate milestones. It was noted that there were 
plenty of Windows tickets that will get fixed by

- The Interactive Service (various permission-related issues)
- NSSM integration (various suspend/hibernate/startup issues)

Not all "release 2.4" tickets could be categorized and the work will 
continue outside the meeting.
