All,

This topic of member inactivity came up about six months ago or so.

I am not a very vocal member within the meetings and discussions, however, I very actively promote and answer questions from people within my industry regarding Fedora.  I greatly benefit from being able to just listen to the discussions the ambassadors have.  I am very often on travel and don't have many opportunities to post to the discussions or partake in the meetings.  However, I am a huge supporter of Fedora and have gotten many people to try it in my line of work.

Because of this, my vote is to not send members into inactive status or disable their accounts if they don't frequently participate in the discussions.  There are many of us "silent" members who are very active out in our day to day careers.

Please consider this when the group comes to a decision later this month.

Thank you!

Casey
