[Bug 513915] [NEW] IRC Clients join Ubuntu channels by default

 

Public bug reported:

Many of the IRC Client packages in Ubuntu are setup to join #ubuntu on
irc.freenode.net by default.  #Ubuntu is our official support channel
and is English only (we have a number of channels for other
languages[0], but they aren't joined by default).  Since Gaudalinex is a
derivative, it appears to inherit these settings.  We have had a large
number of Guadalinex users join lately who speak little or no English.
This is becoming distracting and impacting on the level of support we
can give as we are spending a lot of time directing these users
elsewhere.

The Ubuntu IRC Council [1] would like to request that the default IRC
channel for these applications be changed to somewhere more appropriate
for Guadalinex users.
