Hi,
Wikimedia Foundation usually conducts chat sessions known as Office Hours where a staff
member is asked questions by the Wikimedia community.
This week, Sue Gardner (WMF Executive Director) will be on IRC chat on channel
#wikimedia-office on Thursday 28 April at 1700hrs UTC (8.00pm East African Time).
Normally, there is no set agenda, but this week, discussions will centre around editor
retention and Wikimania
submissions.(http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Papers) Other topics are
also welcome.
Office Hours are usually carried out via IRC. For more info about how to log on, see

I believe that since we're in thew midst of WikiSaturday discussions, it's vital
to engage in this week's Office Hours and discuss matters pertaining editor retention.
Moreover, the guys going to Wikimania would have a feel of what to expect by attending
this session.

Sincerely,
