UbuntuLiveChatSupport testing.

[Joel Bryan Juliano]

What do users got to lose?, the current way got local ubuntu users together,
and also speak their own language. To strip the local part, and leave only
the people to understand each other is a downgrade.

I think the better approach would be to impliment a way to bring same
speaking users to a particular channel together,

that is will auto-join #ubuntu-spanish if your speaking spanish.

so 3 channels will be autojoined, #ubuntu, #ubuntu-AR (If your from
Argentina) and #ubuntu-spanish (because you speak spanish).
