As a side note:
(19:21:20) rjune [n=rjune(a)oh-67-76-200-198.sta.sprint-hsd.net] entered the
room.
(19:21:34) lxmaier: rjune: who are you?
(19:22:23) lxmaier: rjune: this is a members-only meeting, please leave
(19:22:42) rjune left the room (Kicked by lxmaier (lxmaier)).
I was taken aback when reading this - it shocks and saddens me. rjune is
an
important member of the fedora community. Several things spring to mind
here:
1) By asking "Who are you", it has become clear that Alex does not know,
or
care about, anyone who is not an ambassador. She should seriously consider
getting to know strong community members like rjune, whether ambassador or
not.
2) Fedora is open source. We are open. Why should someone be stopped from
spectating (or even taking part?) in a meeting, whether it's committee or
not, whether they're members or not?
3) /kick is a tool that should be used lightly. Not only does keeping +o
go
against freenode guidelines, using said op tools is not recommended unless
it
is really necessary, since it raises the channel temperature.
WOW! I can't believe that.

After reading the very first paragraph of the above link, makes me wonder
:-/ I certainly don't want actions like the above tarnish myself or Fedora
as a whole.
I know the Fedora Extra meetings are completely open, I often sit in on
them with a keen interest. I see no need to kick people period.
