If you +</I>><i> want community channels for your respective countries, use the country +</I>><i> codes. If you want to have a language oriented channel, use the language +</I>><i> codes.

It is perfectly possible to use Country Codes, +Language Codes and Regional Codes in unison with each other. Since the +English language is the current lingua-franca of technology (why else is +this list in English) there isn't much of a requirement for there to be +an English language community for Mageia as the de-facto language in +most instances unless in a localised channel will be English by default. +The same cannot be said for the Ukrainian language however to my +understanding it is only a majority language in the Ukraine itself and +as such there is no need for an international language-based channel +dedicated to the Ukrainian language but rather a localised channel for +the Ukraine's country where Ukraine is the default language. In this +instance since we have gone over this time and time again, the -ua +suffix is recognised as the country code for the Ukraine. So for those +two channels in question, one for the Ukraine and one for the United +Kingdom, -ua and -uk are deemed to be the most appropriate. + +There isn't much more to add to this. Because both groups will not be +focused on languages but rather locality the country code seems the best +option. I think it's best to leave the established -uk channel as it is +and to leave the Ukraine team to choose the standard -ua as established +across Freenode or to pick another name. + +Cofion Gorau, +Christopher Swift +-- +Christopher Swift <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">christopher.swift at linux.com</A>> + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002187.html">[Mageia-discuss] IRC community channels - need a ruling from the board +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002190.html">[Mageia-discuss] IRC community channels - need a ruling from the board +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2188">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2188">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2188">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2188">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
