[02:03] <arraybolt3> If someone wants to found a new channel within the #ubuntu namespace, what are the rules/policies/etc. around that? Obviously the channel is under the Ubuntu IRC terms of service and the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, but there are some gray areas (for instance, founding a new #ubuntu channel would make me an operator if I were to do that, do I then idle in #ubuntu-ops?). Is there documentation for
[02:03] <arraybolt3> this, and if not, are there at least general guidelines?
[02:05] <arraybolt3> Or is it more like "make it, hope for the best, if we need you to tweak it we'll say something?" :P (I hope that's not the way it is...)
[02:33] <krytarik> arraybolt3: Short of getting a timely response from any IRC council member, I'd just go ahead and create and register the channel, the proper access rights and other things can always be worked out later.
[02:34] <arraybolt3> OK, thanks! I don't think I'll start it quite yet, but maybe at some point.
[03:13] <JackFrost> Not -ops, that'd be more here anyway.  It's good to put the usual staff flags, etc.  There's some other ones too if you want cheaper ops lists. :P  There's an old wiki page, I don't know if it's up to date.
