Introducing office hours

Marlena

Our global Mozilla QA community is alive 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Mozillians test from Siberia to North Carolina and everywhere in between.  Sometimes it can be hard  to find a good time to catch up even if we try to be available all the time.

For this reason, some of us in QA are introducing the concept of office hours. We have chosen a few hours during the week when will be online and available for discussion or questions.

This is only a supplement to the fact that we all have irc running most of the time, and will give Mozillians a window when they know they can approach someone and be assured that there is someone ready to answer them on the other end.

Below is a list of our initial office hours.  For the most updated list, be sure to check our office hours wiki page.
