I can do office hours on Friday and on other days too if there’s interest – I’ll set up something later on today and send to this list. You all can be awesome
and help spread the word. You can also drop in and help!
I don’t think this will be useful for the screen cast.

Merrilee and Roy,
Did you get a chance to put together office hours?
One of the items on our list for next year, I think, will be a screencast that is easily subtitled in different languages: we need to have a complex landscape of support for different types of learners.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Lots of people took stickers and were like "Oh, I can do that!" but I
think we need to keep the pressure on, Maybe doing some office hours
(as Merilee was talking about) during that week might help people feel
more comfy with the concept.
