It's just you, unless you can name a company that has their meetings in public?
Meetings are for the members of organizations set goals, deal with issues and discuss behind the scenes information. Why should non-members have the right to listen in on internal affairs?

Also the meetings are already private since some time (December? January? before?)

Internal affairs? What internal affairs? If this was about legal issues and thinks that definitely cannot be open to the public, I'd be okay with it. But this is an open-source project, no? Surely meetings should be public?

Erm... does Firefox hold their meetings publicly? What about LibreOffice?

Yes, Firefox's planning meetings have Guest URLs where people can watch without being able to speak, I just checked.

This was already discussed when the idea of private meetings was introduced on this list. I don't think this needs to be discussed again... (here is a link to that discussion: http://www.reactos.org/pipermail/ros-dev/2011-July/014586.html )

Let's put it a little bit less offending to the general public.
Those meetings are of primary interest only for the actual team of people which works on ReactOS now (so-called members). We try to define a common work direction for the next month and see what was successful and what failed during the last month. It's just meaningless to invite everyone there.
Nevertheless, we do our best, and provide meetings minutes to anyone, so there are no secrets.
And to conclude my diplomacy with something harsh ;) If a project is open source and free, it doesn't mean that everyone magically acquires rights to demand something from such a project. Free open source project grants you other, maybe even more important rights though.
Best regards, Aleksey.

IIRC, we publish the minutes of these meetings. That should be good enough. I am a "member" and I don't even attend these meetings! :0) On Apr 27, 2012 4:21 AM, "Aleksey Bragin" aleksey@reactos.org wrote:

I realize the tone I wrote might have been offensive and I'm sorry. Please don't take it the wrong way - I don't want to demand anything from this project.
My thinking was, ReactOS might benefit from having more contributors, and I think having private meetings is one of the things that really hurts the ability of new people to come join in.
To be an attractive project for new contributors takes a lot effort, but it pays off when you can get more manpower behind your vision.

It's fine, nevermind, as long as there is a constructive discussion, it's good.
What I, and probably others, wanted to say is that those meetings are totally not a way to attract more contributors. They are strictly a way to work with existing contributors. New people are always welcome to our IRC channels, mailing lists, web portal with forums and wiki, there is no need for some event.
Best regards, Aleksey.
