Hello all!
Sorry about the lack of email list notice--I'm trying to not barrage the email lists constantly with the same message. If you want longer notice, just be sure to keep your eyes on the page on meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours
The first office hours for 2010 are from 1700 to 1800 UTC (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PST) today and will feature once again, Rand Montoya, to talk about the annual fundraiser.
If you do not have an IRC client, there are two ways you can come chat using a web browser: First is using the Wikizine chat gateway at http://chatwikizine.memebot.com/cgi-bin/cgiirc/irc.cgi. Type a nickname, select irc.freenode.net from the top menu and #wikimedia-office from the following menu, then login to join.
Also, you can access Freenode by going to http://webchat.freenode.net/, typing in the nickname of your choice and choosing wikimedia-office as the channel. You may be prompted to click through a security warning. It should be all right.
Please feel free to forward (and translate!) this email to any other relevant email lists you happen to be on.
