Announcing Office Hours

[metasoarous]

Hi folks.

Starting next week, I will be hosting fortnightly (every other week) technical office hours, primarily focused on Polis development and deployment infrastructure, with the occasional data-science discussion.

Hours will alternate between 9am-10am (morning hours), and 4pm-5pm (afternoon hours) Pacific/Seattle Time, Wednesdays. Please see the links below for calendar events and meeting urls:

• Public Calendar
  • 9am-10am (morning hours) event
  • 4pm-5pm (afternoon hours) event
  • meeting link

Due to family needs, I'm unlikely to have much time outside of normal work hours, but if you find that tweaking these times slightly would make a big difference for you, please feel free to chime in and we'll consider making adjustments.

I look forward to seeing you. Thanks!

Nice! Did you mean to mention where they're happening?

[patcon]

Also, it's missing from above post, but for others who didn't see the Gitter post, this is on Wednesdays.

[metasoarous]

Thanks for the catch. Updated to specify Wednesdays.

I'll update the calendar invite and announcement above with a url closer to the day of.

Thanks again

Note that you're using a link that forces gcal to try to add your calendar to the 3rd user account the clicker is logged in on, via the url's /u/2 suffix:

This would work better :) https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=Y19kN2pobDFxZ29yNzVvZDRxazYzanA1cnJkNEBncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t

(My third account was a family member's, which I can no longer login with, so I was fighting with it for a bit 🙂 )

Dear lord... thanks for the catch.

[patcon]

First call was amazing. Really appreciate being able to listen in on the in-depth Q&A between @LawrenceFulton and @metasoarous. Heads up to @dsiddarth @ThenWho and @fucor that it seemed very up your collective alleys!

My personal scratch notes here: https://hackmd.io/Ned7GUfKTD6QqtJvI4x35A?view

Thanks for the notes Patrick! Was expecting dev talk, but got pretty math-y instead 🙂 . Might drop by in 4 weeks.

I'm sharing details of the call in the Discord. Note that you've got no call details set for this gcal event, so I'll just say it's going to be the same room as before: https://meet.jit.si/PandasParadingProminentlyWithPrometheus

Would you be down to just set one like https://meet.jit.si/pol.is for future repeating events after this week?

[metasoarous]

Yup, https://meet.jit.si/PandasParadingProminentlyWithPrometheus for now

Just wanted to update for anyone tracking things here, that (as per @metasoarous's post in Gitter), Comp Dem's office hours are on pause while their org gets some other things in order. Details here:
