Hi all,
We've been (a few of us) hanging out in #mageia-uk, and the name of the
channel has annoyed some folks from the Ukraine, who wanted that name.
So, we have a nother (unofficial) channel now, called #mageia-gb.
However, when we looked at the ISO country codes, we discover that
Ukraine would actually be UA, and SE is Sweden, not the Sammi language,
as some thought.
SO, what we need to know is: are we going by geography (two-letter
country codes as per the ISO list here:
http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements). or by
language (such as en-gb)?
If we could nail this down right away, it would save much grief later.
Cheers,

My opinion is that we should try to follow ISO convention where it is
applicable. Therefore the IRC'S would be:
#mageia-gb for United Kingdom
#mageia-ua for Ukraine
The same should be applied for dates. We should also follow the date
format as set out by the ISO.
Let's follow standards where they are established.
