[Wikimedia-l] Office hours

[Maggie Dennis]

Hi, Rui.

Nothing to pardon. I'd have been asking that question myself not too
awfully long ago. :)

Occasionally, staff members of the Wikimedia Foundation or other groups,
such as chapters, go on IRC to chat with members of the communities that
work on Wikipedia and the other projects we support.[1] Sometimes there is
a set agenda, if there is something that needs particular focus, but often
- as with today's meeting - there is not. It's just an opportunity to ask
questions of staff (or other groups) and to learn a bit from the questions
that others ask and the answers to those questions. It's generally pretty
informal.

If you can't attend the session but are interested in what takes place in
it, you can still review the logs after the fact. These are placed on
Meta.[2]
