Introducing OpenVPN Community Manager

Hello everybody,

I'm the newly appointed community manager for OpenVPN Technologies. I
will be acting as a liaison between OpenVPN community and OpenVPN
Technologies. I will help us (the company) make our development more
community-oriented, e.g. by providing the tools and making development
more transparent, so that both the community and the company benefit. To
accomplish these goals I need to work with you. I'll keep my own work as
transparent as possible so that you can constantly provide feedback
(positive or negative). Also, if you have any suggestions let me know -
preferably using the OpenVPN mailinglists. You can also talk to me
("mattock") in the OpenVPN IRC channel during daytime (in EET/EEST
timezone).

Now onto more concrete topics... I'm currently looking into community
projects around OpenVPN. I've so far found 14 different OpenVPN GUI
projects and two forum/wiki projects. I've listed them here:

Do you know of other OpenVPN-related projects?

That's most probably the "NetworkManager OpenVPN plugin".  GNOME NM do
not have a "native" OpenVPN implementation, but relies on VPN plug-ins.
 There's even a plug-in for vpnc as well.

That's correct. I updated my list of OpenVPN projects and it's starting
to become quite exhausting... see for yourself. I'm probably only
halfway through:

http://users.utu.fi/sjsepp/openvpn_community_projects.html

Lot of the work is redundant, but on the positive side there is a lot of
activity around OpenVPN.

Your patches are now included to "freetz" [1]  - a Firmware-extension for some 
AVM Fritzboxes (DSL routers predominantly sold in Germany)

[PATCH] openvpn-down-root.so causes a segfault on premature exits

If openvpn is interrupted before openvpn_plugin_open_v1() is called,
there is no context allocated which openvpn_plugin_abort_v1() can use.
