Ali,
Sorry, please don’t get mad. There are two reasons for this; one leads into the
other:
Ubuntu-related channels must start with #ubuntu- . Those are Ubuntu IRC Council
terms, not mine.
Primary channels need to be approved by Freenode staff. (I don’t know whether
or not you had had #start-ubuntu approved by Freenode or not, but that’s a moot
point). Also, of course, Ubuntu channels need to be approved by the IRC
Council. Ben Rubin (aka Pici), a member of the IRC Council, helped me with the
approval process.
And, while this point is a little outside of my realm (as only a “member”), I
feel I should also include this point:
Getting approved by the Ubuntu IRC network is only a first step… with our
Launchpad account, that is another. Keep going and the StartUbuntu project,
instead of being a daughter project, would wind up a sister project maintained
by all the communications teams (Lubuntu Comms, Ubuntu GNOME Comms, etc.) Now
that we have an official, recognized channel, we can market the fact that our
IRC presence is officially recognized by the IRC Council.
Once again, I apologize for acting rather unilaterally, but I am trying to act
in accordance with both Ubuntu IRC -- and Freenode -- rules.
