[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu-UK IRC thoughts

[Laura Czajkowski]

Aloha, 

I'm in the Ubuntu-uk channel always and I love the channel and find for most
of the time it to be a very enjoyable place to hang out, chat to people and
get help. However, when it comes to your IRC meetings, it's like the cages
are unleashed and politeness and manners that I see everyday in your channel
vanish. 

Firstly, if someone is explaining a topic, please have the manners and
decency to let them finish explaining what they are trying to tell you. I
know it may be hard to tell when they finish, but it makes it harder to get
to the point if you keep interjecting. Perhaps the person explaining can say
FINISH at the end of their topic information. 

Secondly, if the topic has been finished and you feel you're not finished
talking about it, but the chair has moved the topic on. PLEASE understand
it's not helpful to continue the discussion, take it to the mailing list or
bring it up on AOB.

Finally, I think the -uk folks would benefit from a set chair. Mez did a
great job and I'm sure Djones will also. But to give the chair experience
and confidence  in telling folks to quite frankly shut up and stop
interrupting, I think it would be beneficial to have a permanent chair.
Still rotate it, but perhaps on a 3 month rotation. 

Just my 2 cents.

Laura
