Hello all!
Next Thursday's office hours will feature Naoko Komura, the Program Manager for the Stanton Foundation Usability Project. If you don't know Naoko, you can get to know her at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Naoko_Komura.
Office hours on Thursday are from 1600 to 1700 UTC (9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PDT).
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. (Naoko is able to speak English and Japanese with a great degree of competancy!)
