[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: IRC Office Hours

2012-12-26 Thread Gayle Karen Young
Hello!

I'll be doing an open office hours on IRC at #wikimedia-office on January
28th. I'll talk about my first full year at WMF, and answer any questions
to the degree that I'm able to about current HR practices and where I see
the trajectory of needs for the coming year. I'm looking forward to meeting
and chatting with people!

Date: Monday, January 28
Time: 1000 PT/1800UTC

In the meantime, I wish you all a very happy holiday season and a great
start to 2013. :)  Live long and prosper.

Warm regards,
Gayle

Is it going to be 28 January 2013 (over a month from now) or 28 December 2012
(tomorrow according to Israeli time). Announcing IRC open office hours a
month in advance seems somewhat excessive.

Not really excessive during a holiday season where people may not see the
message for several days. And a month is a good amount of lead time for
something like this. I don't get what the problem is...

I don't see it as a problem either. More lead time is always good for 
people who want to make sure they can join in. However, this is 
sufficiently far in advance that it would be helpful to also send out a 
reminder as the date gets closer, say during the week leading up to the 
office hours. I expect Gayle may already have planned to do that as 
well, but didn't think it necessary to spell that out.

To: Wikimedia Mailing List 


Hi all,

This Wednesday at 22:00 UTC,[1] there will be an open discussion in
#wikimedia-office with our team, Editor Engagement Experiments.[2]

We've launched several new features since our last office hours --
including interactive "guided tours" and a getting started page for
newly-registered Wikipedians. We'll likely discuss these projects,
including testing results so far, as well as any questions people might
have.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

On May 17th at 16:00 UTC, Kul Wadhwa (Head of Mobile and Business
Development) and Amit Kapoor (Senior Manager, Mobile Partnerships) will be
in #wikimedia-office to talk about Wikipedia Zero,[1] as well as the other
initiatives underway on the mobile team.

As usual, details and time conversion links are on Meta.[2] We have
scheduled this at a time that we hope works for Wikimedians from Africa and
Asia, since it was Abbasjnr's idea to have a mobile office hours. (Thanks
Abbas!)
