Hi, A while ago, the Technical Committee designated specific hours in the week where members would make extra effort to be around on #openstack-tc on IRC, so that community members looking for answers to their questions or wanting to engage can find a time convenient for them and a critical mass of TC members around. We currently have 3 weekly spots: - 09:00 UTC on Tuesdays - 01:00 UTC on Wednesdays - 15:00 UTC on Thursdays But after a few months it appears that: 1/ nobody really comes on channel at office hour time to ask questions. We had a questions on the #openstack-tc IRC channel, but I wouldn't say people take benefit of the synced time 2/ some office hours (most notably the 01:00 UTC on Wednesdays, but also to a lesser extent the 09:00 UTC on Tuesdays) end up just being a couple of TC members present So the schedule is definitely not reaching its objectives, and as such may be a bit overkill. I was also wondering if this is not a case where the offer is hurting the demand -- by having so many office hour spots around, nobody considers them special. Should we: - Reduce office hours to one or two per week, possibly rotating times - Dump the whole idea and just encourage people to ask questions at any time on #openstack-tc, and get asynchronous answers - Keep it as-is, it still has the side benefit of triggering spikes of TC member activity Thoughts ? -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
