Just a reminder about the office hours coming up on Thursday this week. The
topic for this session has been expanded to include all Foundation-run
Wikipedia Education Program initiatives, which take place in the U.S., Canada,
Brazil, Egypt, and India.
Like all IRC office hours, the format will be an open question-and-answer
session, so come with questions, and we’ll come with answers! Questions do not
have to be limited to the upcoming changes (e.g. transition away from staff-led
programs in North America, rollout of new software on Wikipedia to help support
the program)—we’d be happy to answer general questions you have about the
program as well.
Please refer to the information at the bottom of this email for instructions on
how to join.
Thank you,

If you haven't used IRC before, it may be easiest to use a web client; this
means you don't have to install any software on your computer. Just click here
to join in, and then choose a username when prompted:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikimedia-office You may be prompted to
click through a security warning. It's fine.
For more information about IRC software you can install on your computer, go to
the Wikipedia entry on IRC or the Meta page on Wikimedia IRC. If using
dedicated software, connect to the channel #wikimedia-officeconnect on the
freenode network.
