There is also the main matrix room which is at #security:fedoraproject.org
which gets double duty use for security discussions as well as discussion
for the Security-Lab Spin.  It's the evolution of the original security IRC
room.  It's more of a general contact point for people in the Fedora
Community with questions or wanting to bring up a security topic.  It's
fully public, so dont post embargoed information there.
