Honestly, I am not a big fan of this change. The fact that we have an open and 
public meeting is what I think helps us build community. People can tune in and 
take a casual look at what we're up to. Find things they might be interested 
and then join in. I've used the Monday public call with a few college students 
to get them to look at starting University Reps programs or Mozilla Clubs. When 
people at cons ask about what we're doing I direct them to tune into the Monday 
call and see for themselves. While I agree we need some format changes I think 
changing the openness of our meetings shows a retreat of sorts from where we 
need to be engaging the public.
