| wxl | Lubuntu is planning on adding some localized channels. I trust that's not something I need IRC Council permission about? | 23:06 |
|---|---|---|
| dax | wxl: correct. preferred channel naming would be #lubuntu-de, #lubuntu-es, etc. if there are existing channels that you need access in, feel free to poke one of us :) | 23:10 |
| wxl | dax: thanks, i saw that about the naming convention. what would i do for a channel targetted towards arabic? | 23:10 |
| dax | !arabic | 23:12 |
| ubottu | For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية | 23:12 |
| dax | i guess something like that | 23:12 |
| wxl | ah there we go | 23:13 |
| dax | -ar is argentina, which i guess is why they spelled it out instead | 23:13 |
| wxl | makes sense to me | 23:13 |
| wxl | well yeah and arabic is very widely dispersed geographically | 23:13 |
| wxl | VERY widely | 23:13 |
| dax | yeah, exactly | 23:13 |
| dax | oh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/Coordination might be useful too | 23:14 |
| dax | (not the name list, that's largely out of date. the stuff above that, including the chanserv commands) | 23:14 |
| wxl | i was going to say the name list might prove useful :) but ok | 23:15 |
| tomreyn | ISO 639-1 for arabic would be ar indeed | 23:15 |
| dax | tomreyn: yeah, channels are named by country rather than language though, because they're theoretically run by LoCo teams | 23:16 |
| wxl | according to the docs, the #*ubuntu-YY format is supposed to use ccTLD conventions for YY | 23:16 |
| wxl | with exceptions for regions | 23:16 |
| dax | which is fine for e.g. -es, but get a bit weird sometimes | 23:16 |
| tomreyn | oh ok | 23:16 |
| dax | especially since there aren't exactly a lot of active LoCos any more | 23:16 |
| wxl | so just to confirm: Spanish -es Portuguese -pt Italian -it Russian -ru Japanese -jp French -fr Chinese -cn German -de | 23:17 |
| dax | sgtm | 23:17 |
| wxl | thanks again | 23:17 |
| dax | i think some of those exist already, so yeah, feel free to poke if you end up needing channel access to one | 23:17 |
| wxl | well since these are meant to be specific to lubuntu i don't think they do | 23:18 |
| wxl | it would be news to me! | 23:18 |
| dax | oh, i knew there was another document for this | 23:18 |
| dax | i meant https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/CreatingChannels not the Coordination link (though that one has useful info too) | 23:18 |
| wxl | yep i got that | 23:18 |
| dax | :) | 23:19 |
| wxl | so it seems someone already got #lubuntu-it? | 23:38 |
| wxl | also #lubuntu-fr | 23:39 |
| dax | looks like it. do you want me to get them transferred to you? | 23:42 |
| wxl | please and thank you | 23:42 |
| dax | wxl: both done | 23:50 |
| wxl | thanks! | 23:50 |
