This page exists to outline a solid set of guidelines for behavior in our IRC channel. Please remember that #ubuntuforums-beginners exists for us to stay organized and communicate effectively.

Everyday Policies

• Keep your existing IRC nick - don't fiddle around with your name or imitate others.

• No bots ever! (except VoteBot and ChanServ)

• Not a major support area (not that you can't ask about something, but don't get carried away)
  • Support should be directed to #ubuntu or ##beginners-help
• Keep in mind that although the channel is relaxed, the primary focus should be team issues - be mature and stay on topic

• The Ubuntu Code of Conduct applies at all times.

Meeting Policies

Admins, please put VoteBot into Meeting Mode during team meetings.

The following are geared toward limiting misc. chatter in the channel during a meeting, and keeping the team focused, on topic, and progressing with the discussion at hand. These points apply in addition to the Everyday Policies.

• Please don't say "hello" or "goodbye" to those coming and going.
• Don't put out random smiley faces.
• Think through what you are going to say before you say it - keep your ideas together, not spread out over multiple lines. This makes it much easier to follow your line of thought.

• "Raise your hand" with a o/ when you want to speak, and you will be called upon by the team member leading the discussion.
