    • neoraider (?)
    • T_X (but will be either in Hamburg or Lübeck during Congress)
• [👤 mkg20001]: OLSR2 PR and discussing olsr2 and olsr1 integration
  • would be nice to have an issue ticket to track next tasks/todos?
• [👤 aiyion]: RFC regarding gluon support for L2(+) (Switchtes) devices
  • no special marker in docs needed, communities will know the capabilities of the switches
• [👤 T_X]: gluon-statistics-mcast / bpfcountd (#2367 + packages/#256)
  • obtaining more protocol overhead details, continuation from meeting
  • 2022-02, found a way to reduce memory usage, what next?
  • bpfcountd to OpenWrt packages
  • libpcap patch to OpenWrt
    • potentially keep 22.03 backport
• [👤 T_X]: batman-adv: backport routeable mcast address support (#2615)

• [👤 blocktrron]: firewall4 migration

• [👤 aiyion]: gluon-mesh-vpn-key-translate (#2601)
  • squashed and rebased
• [👤 rotanid] : opkg signing key cleanup

  • some doc about the SPI driver missing, but isn't a blocker according to neoraider
  • blocktrron will merge it after a build test (&backport)
