Hi all,

It's been on the meta office hours page for a while but I'm not sure it's been announced here yet. Geoff Brigham (WMF General Counsel) and his team will be having an office hour Tuesday January 22nd (Tomorrow or today depending on your location) at 18:00 UTC/10:00 PST to answer questions about the work of the Legal and Community Advocacy Department. The office hours will take place on the Freenode IRC network in the #Wikimedia-office room.

For more information including a webchat link and time conversion links go to the Meta office hour page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Office_Hours#How_to_participate
