<div class="im">&gt; &gt; &gt; SO, what we need to know is: are we going by geography<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; (two-letter country codes as per the ISO list here:<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements" target="_blank">http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements</a>).<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; or by language (such as en-gb)?<br>
</div><div class="im">&gt; &gt; My opinion is that we should try to follow ISO convention where<br>
&gt; &gt; it is applicable. Therefore the IRC&#39;S would be:<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; #mageia-gb for United Kingdom<br>
&gt; &gt; #mageia-ua for Ukraine<br>
<br>
</div>I don&#39;t know if we do need channels for geographic locations. E.g. there is a<br>
channel #mageia-de which - in my opinion is for all people speaking German. I<br>
don&#39;t think separate channels for Germans, Austrians and Swiss would make<br>
sense.<br>
The reason for having those &quot;sub channels&quot; is, that people can speak in their<br>
own language...<br>
