In anticipation of some major changes that are coming up in the U.S. and
Canada Education Programs, the Wikimedia Foundation staff for the Wikipedia
Education Program (Frank Schulenburg, Annie Lin, LiAnna Davis, Jami Mathewson,
and I) will be hosting a scheduled public office hour in the #wikimedia-office
IRC channel.
Date: Thursday, 21 June 2012
If you have questions or concerns about the programs, or are simply
curious, this is a great opportunity to gain better insight into these programs.
If you are unable to attend, a link to the chat log will be posted at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours
for public viewing following the session.
Details on how to join the session are included below. We look forward to
chatting with you!

click through a security warning. It's fine.
