Comment 23 for bug 392799

Well, I'd say "the" prominent page where #ubuntu is mentioned is http://www.ubuntu.com/support - though personally I believe the best way to advertize #ubuntu effectively would be to have a client installed by default and connecting to it by default in Ubuntu.

I believe some flavors of Ubuntu do that, but right now I'm not sure that would be SUCH a good thing, since apparently the problem is there are TOO many users... And this does run the risk of people consistently mistaking #ubuntu for a social channel.

Chris, I do certainly realize people in LoCo channels will find #ubuntu pretty intimidating, but keep in mind that one of the main "counter-measures" that has been always used against #ubuntu overcrowding, and which has perhaps not been mentioned here yet, is... LoCo channels themselves!
They help a lot having smaller channels to direct traffic to based on language, and I do believe having high quality LoCo channels in general helps keeping the pace reasonable in #ubuntu.
