[Openstack] Separation of IRC Channels

Hey all,

I wanted to see what everyones opinions were on separating out some of the IRC channels.  When the project started we decided to keep #openstack as the primary channel since the project was small at the time.  Over the last year with the project growing, the traffic in the #openstack channel have increased quite a bit.

The #openstack channel is the place people go for dev talk, support, and Openstack conversation.  My proposal is that we separate out development talk into separate channels and keep #openstack as the place for new people to the project to ask questions and get help.  It might help separate a lot of the cross project talk.  I think it helps out for those trying to focus on a specific project and may actually get more talk to occur in the rooms.

We could use these to start:

#openstack – Help and Getting Started
#openstack-meeting – Community Meetings
#openstack-nova – All Nova Development
#openstack-swift – All Swift Development
#openstack-glance – All Glance Development

Obviously there are other projects as well that we could look at making channels for but I think these are the ones that are getting a majority of the traffic today.

Thoughts, comments?
