I've been mulling ways on implementing this. Someone kindly reminded
me to consider the ramifications of this to the IRC team, etc. so I
think proposing to autospawn channels for every country code would get
me killed.

I was thinking of something along the lines of what Chuck recommends,
but instead of #ubuntu-welcome maybe we should just make it clearer
when someone joins #ubuntu that "by the way, check out your friendly
neighborhood local team" and a link to the loco directory or something
like that?

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far!
