We wanted our own UK channel so we could organise the physical
presence of Mageia promotors at events in the UK, and also for
discussing problems relating to UK-specific hardware & services.
I can see no reason why there couldn't be a channel for IE, US, CA,
NZ, AU and other English-speaking countries as well if they have
people who want to organise local activity in their countries - we
have taken the lead, it's up to people in those other countries to
decide if they want to follow our example.
