I'm glad you brought this up Risker, but to be fair, Siebrand can't speak for everyone scheduling office hours, since there is no one person who coordinates them all -- each team is responsible for their own, and some are not associated with the WMF. Anyway, I'm willing to test out doing this at a different time that's not during North American working hours. The editor engagement experiments team is due for another office hours. How does 10:00 UTC next Monday sound?
