Actually that's not quite right.  It could "matter" because Freenode
limits the number of channels you be connected to (I think the current
limit is 20) so yeah adding one more could put you over the limit
depending on how many channels you connect to now.

But beyond that, I would strongly recommend that you all decide what
real benefits you have with a separate Ambassador channel.  I see no
reason why it can't conduct its activities in either the -marketing
channel or even the -project channel.  This way more people see your
activities and possibly join in.

Otherwise, you end up running the risk of becoming segregated and
isolated and I'm sure you want your Ambassador program to grow.

Having more channels is additional administrative overhead for folks
like Darix and before you even put that burden on him, you really need
to step back and think and justify what real benefits an own channel
gives you.

Just my thoughts,
