April office hours
Added 2022-04-12 01:38:19 +0000 UTCJust sending out this reminder of office hours for April; note that the first one is this Thursday (Google Calendar link; iCal URL):
One change to previous office hour policies: we'll post the chat transcript as a comment afterwards, so that shared links can be persisted. So while the A/V conversation has Chatham House rules applied, the chat itself does not.
Recapitulating some information about the rough structure:
- At least for now, there are no reservations. Just show up; we'll form a queue.
- In the fashion of academic office hours, eavesdropping is encouraged. You may have to wait a while to ask your question, but listening in on others' questions may turn out to be more valuable than whatever motivated you to attend, anyway. Likewise, feel free to chime in if you have thoughts on a question someone else brings—just be graceful in sharing airtime.
- These conversations aren't 1:1, but we'll have better discussions if we feel safe to speak. The Chatham House Rule is in effect: paraphrasing is okay, but don't identify anyone. And of course, we'll treat each other with generosity and nobility; I'll moderate problems. But! The chat transcript will be published as a comment on this post after the office hours. So identities are public there.
- Unless few people show up, I'll probably cut off any one line of discussion at a maximum of about ten minutes. If it feels we've gotten the most out of a topic after just a few minutes, I may switch us up sooner. Take that as a sign of success, rather than a critical judgment!
- Rough work and ill-specified questions are very welcome. Several people have told me that they're waiting to show me design work until it's more polished. Honestly: that's silly!

I’ll be on a plane with cat during your call. See you next time.
