Hi, all. Sorry for the late post to the list. As you may know, the Wikipedia Education Program in the US and Canada will soon be transitioning its work to the Wiki Education Foundation[1]. We've been fielding some questions on the Education noticeboard[2] and wanted to make ourselves available in real-time chat.
We will be on IRC today, October 30th, from 8-9pm eastern (10/31 0:00 UTC). We can use this time to answer questions, receive feedback, and discuss the transition in general. We will be using the #wikimedia-officeirc://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-office[3] channel, and we hope you'll join us!
Thanks,
Jami

Could you also post the location where this chat will be archived?

Thanks for posting this. However, I'm afraid this is a rather awkward time for those of us in Europe or Africa. I know it's hard (if not impossible) to have a convenient time for everyone, but at least we can view the chat log later, even if we're unable to chat with you live.
Best wishes,
Toni

Yes, sorry about that, Toni! We would love to have everyone around, but we did try to make it specifically workable for folks in the US and Canada, since those are the primary people who will be impacted by the move. Thanks for your interest, though, and hopefully we'll have some more like this over the next few months!
Good luck at the conference! Jami

Many thanks for the good wishes for the EduWiki conference, Jami! It looks like it's going to be a very exciting event.
I fully understand your need to reach your primary audience in the first instance. I'm sure there will be other opportunities of the wider EduWiki community to get involved in the live conversation too.
All the best!
Toni
