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,

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.
