I don't know if we do need channels for geographic locations. E.g. there is a
channel #mageia-de which - in my opinion is for all people speaking German. I
don't think separate channels for Germans, Austrians and Swiss would make
sense.
The reason for having those "sub channels" is, that people can speak in their
own language...

Well, I think UK is a somewhat special case : english is the language for 'everybody', so any 'local' conversation is submerged. Other laguages don't have that problem to that extent.
