Excuse me. Just about a month ago, we had a discussion about spreading
out
the times during which office hours would be hosted. Instead of
increased
diversity in times, it seems ALL office hours are now being scheduled during a very narrow window of time from roughly 1530 UTC to 1800 UTC.
Now, it's entirely possible that the WMF staff and those of other
projects
using the "usual" timeslot have decided that their target audience is the people who are available during that timeslot (I don't think Wikidata's ever had an office hours outside of the same slot, for example).
However,
Since we have been named explicitly: our three English office hours have so far been at 16:30 UTC (twice) and 12:00 UTC (once), so one out of three was outside that narrow band you mentioned.
I have to admit that the next one was again scheduled for 16:30 UTC, but in order to respond to the critique we will move it to 22:00 UTC (which is, by the way, midnight for us. I hope that someone appreciates that effort).
We will try to keep that in mind for further scheduling and to make it more diverse, and if we do not, anyone is free to remind us. We're not perfect :)
Thanks for pointing it out, Cheers, Denny
