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[23:14] oh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcTeam/Coordination might be useful too [23:14] (not the name list, that's largely out of date.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