Now that we have a mailing list, can we have a channel on freenode as well. I am calling for the creation of

Not a bad idea, however, I'm already in a bunch of #opensuse-* channels hehe.. I guess one new one won't matter :)

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.

Actually the number of channels you are limited to is now 120. That changed when they did the upgrade to ircd-seven -Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org
