IRC Office Hours Starting Thursday Jun 26

The hi5 Platform Team will be holding Office Hours on the hi5dev IRC channel, twice a week, starting this Thursday. The hours are as follows (all times in PST, which is GMT-7 or GMT-8, depending on the time of the year):

  • Tuesdays, 9am - 11am
  • Thursdays, 1pm - 3pm
We are very grateful to developers for the lightning-fast feedback we got via this channel during the early days of the platform, and hope to maintain that spirit of interactiveness as we continue to grow. Please let us know if you have other time preferences and we can consider refining this as we go along.

Instructions for access to the hi5dev channel are available at the hi5 Developer Center. During these hours, at least one member from the team will be logged into the chat room. The Tuesday morning hours are to allow developers from Asia to be able to correspond with us at a time that's reasonable on both sides of the globe.

We were inspired to do this by a similar idea that the Google OpenSocial team had announced quite a while ago --- we would like to give credit where its due.
