Happy New Year to you as well.

There are a few reasons behind the group staying private: I inherited both groups about 2 years ago and the only one that needed a help was the private one which at the time was overrun with spammers and people posting their resumes or links to weird stuff, after the cleanup the thought was to change it public with a bit of help from the forums as a push to keep the page current and active.

However, when you look at the contrast between the 2 groups the Admin group is more organic with actual posters (when they wish to post) vs the larger community group that catches all of the Debian major news and announcements and every mention to Debian in it's feed.

It seems the smaller group are people who actually want to be there as Admins on Debian systems, vs. the larger group there for resumes, networking, and overall project updates.

The other issue is it is giant pain to switch a private group to public, we could as the account was there prior to 2023 I believe, but for now the 'reader' group seems to like the separation from the 'lets all meet in the auditorium' group. The private group isn't really a secret/private it was just setup that way and it seems to be working.

I'm just a cog in the wheel, the Forum Team deserve credit here on the forums.
