Beginning on Wednesday, May 16, 2012, I will be holding "Office Hours" in #duraspace IRC every Wednesday from 1pm-4pm EDT (17:00-20:00 UTC). This "office hours" concept was pioneered by Matt Zumwalt & Chris Wilper, and it seems to be working well in both the Hydra and Fedora communities respectively. So, I thought I'd try expanding it to the DSpace developer community as well.
What are Office Hours?
Essentially, it's a promise that I'll be lurking/listening in #duraspace IRC during that timeframe, ready and willing to chat with other developers on any topics of interest to you.
- Running into an annoying issue that you need some help with?
- Have an idea that you'd like to bounce off someone?
- Have something interesting you are working on that you'd like to show off or get feedback on?
Stop by and we'll talk about it!
Please note that, as with all #duraspace IRC discussions, public logs will be made available on http://irclogs.duraspace.org/
When?
- Every Wednesday from 17:00-20:00 UTC (1pm - 4pm EDT), just before the weekly DSpace Developer Meeting. (Next Date: September 5, 2012)
Where?
- In #duraspace IRC channel on freenode.net
- If you don't have an IRC client, just visit http://webchat.freenode.net/
- Enter in a nickname (of your choice)
- Enter in "#duraspace" as the IRC channel
- Leave the "Auth to Services" setting unchecked.
- If you don't have an IRC client, just visit http://webchat.freenode.net/
Once you login, feel free to ping me (tdonohue) to start the discussion.
