Idea #5083: Add #ubuntu by default to Pidgin

Description

This way, new users who get Ubuntu, and open Pidgin, see #ubuntu, and can click on it, to chat about Ubuntu and get help if they wonder something.

This could also make it easier to get people involved in the community.
To make it easy for them to get help and to help others.
To make them feel that they are not only using Ubuntu, but that they are actually a part of it.

And hopefully also get some contributors. :)

So if they get involved in the community, and feel they're part of it, they will be like "Wow, I'm in this cool Ubuntu club!" and be proud and go brag about it. :D

Also, based on their localization there can be a Ubuntu channel in Pidgin to their language.
Example, #ubuntu-es for Spanish people.

this is a really nice idea, that should be easy implementable

That would have saved me hours when I first installed Feisty and had to spend hours trying to figure out how to fix my video card resolution, with no knowledge of Xorg or apt-get or *.deb files or the handy-dandy 915resolution package. If I had been less stubborn, or if I had been installing Linux for any reason other than to learn something about computers, I would have told Ubuntu to shove it.
