+<PRE>Let's see other projects:
+
+ * <A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate#International">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate#International</A> has no
+strict scheme (although it looks like a 2-letters ISO for language
+primarily)
+ * <A HREF="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelNaming">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelNaming</A> has a strict one (2
+letters ISO for country ONLY - no language-based channel)
+ * <A HREF="http://irc.mozilla.org/">http://irc.mozilla.org/</A> has no strict scheme
+ * <A HREF="http://wiki.debian.org/IRC">http://wiki.debian.org/IRC</A> has no strict scheme
+ * others?
+
+What matters more anyway is the index we provide to route people to
+their preferred channel.
+
+
+So, I would suggest this for #mageia-{suffix}:
+ 0. 2-letters ISO code for _language_ (as we do today, already);
+ 1. 2-letters code _may_ be used for location/country coding;
+ 2. in case of conflict between rules 0 and 1, ask IRC management team
+- and rule 0 is most likely to apply anyway;
+ 3. so full location/country name is encouraged for location coding;
+
+In this case, #mageia-uk would go for Ukrainian language and
+#mageia-unitedkingdom for the United Kingdom; given the context, both
+would encouraged to put a welcome message on their channel in the
+coming days to help people re-route themselves in case needed.
+
+That would also mean, for instance, that #mageia-br would go for
+Breton - Celtic language, not for Brasil that would need
+#mageia-brasil instead.
+
+
+That drives me to pre-announce that we will have some sort of a &quot;IRC
+Council&quot; of admins/moderators/mediators of IRC channels, to
+collaborate with Forum and Mailing-lists peers to manage
+technical/conflict/discussion topics/issues and escalates to the
+community council in case of need (more on the whole organisation
+soon).
+
+Cheers,
+
+Romain
