Hi everyone,
As our new Vice President of Engineering, Damon Sicore, just announced in his longer email to Wikimedia-l he will be having his first IRC Office hours on Thursday, October 9th, at 20:00 UTC (13:00 PDT). This hour long office hour is a chance to meet the new VPE and ask your burning questions.
The office hour will be held in #Wikimedia-office on the Freenode network. You can find information on how to get online, including a link to a webchat option if you don't have an IRC client, on the meta office hours page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours#How_to_participate. You can also find a time converter for the start of the hour at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=20&min=00&... . Like most of our public office hours this one will be publicly logged and should be posted on the meta office hour page shortly after it's conclusion.
If you want to know you more about Damon you can read the Wikimedia Blog announcement https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/29/damon-sicore-joins-wmf-as-vice-president-of-engineering/ or check out his personal blog http://damon.sicore.com.
