Who? IMO, our PMC chair can lead this meeting. And all of the commuters can volunteer to run this meeting. When? We need to talk about a suitable time range. It’s better to cover different time zones. EMEA, APAC, etc. How? I think this office hour is more like Q&A, which can help users adopt Pulsar quickly. But we still need to talk about it.
