I'd just like to make the point though, hoping not to come across as too critical, that Mike will have done office hours duty three times recently after today. It would be great if someone else can be persuaded to have a go for next time. I certainly have a few things I would like to ask which Mike would not be best placed to answer. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Sadly, because of a misunderstanding on my part, today's office hours were postponed until another to be decided date and time. As far as Tim is concerned, I'll ask him and tell him that there's some interest (if he doesn't see it here first!) - -- Cary Bass Volunteer Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuGuV0ACgkQyQg4JSymDYn3BACeNJ2zQjsGyDYSCuUvZGXYIuYx DDoAmwb7XAyhb2EALHranH+x2rJcUM51 =Im6I -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Re: [Foundation-l] Office Hour for Thursday, February 25
what about having (for once) office hour with one or two board members? Perhaps the community selected members? I can imagine it would be interesting to have a chat about what the board is currently doing and up to. -- Lodewijk 2010/2/25 Huib! abi...@forgotten-beauty.com Thomas Dalton schreef: On 25 February 2010 10:02, Huib! abi...@forgotten-beauty.com wrote: Hi, It could also be a idea to ask Danese Cooper to come by on IRC for a hour.

[Foundation-l] Office Hour for Thursday, February 25
Hey everyone! On Thursday, February 25, the Office Hour will once again be hosted by Mike Godwin, Legal counsel for the Wikimedia Foundation, who you can read about at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:Mikegodwin Office hours are from 1800 to 1900 UTC (9:00 AM to 10:00 AM PST) so that those of you who had to sleep last week while he was on may be around this time. 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. -- Cary Bass Volunteer Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
