At OpenStack Summit, it was suggested to me that we have IRC office
hours, so that there are certain times during the week when people can
be assured of having their questions answered.
While my experience has been that questions asked on #rdo, for the most
part, are answered quickly and authoritatively, the comment was made
that publishing "official office hours" would make our channel more
welcoming to beginners who are looking for a little help in their
OpenStack journey.
What I'm wondering is:
* Would you be able to commit to pay more attention during a specified
time period?
* What time(s) would work best for you?
I'm thinking probably two times a week - once for the North American
time zone audience, and once for the Europe/Asia timezone audience.
IRC "support" is always best-effort, as time permits, and nobody is
expecting any kind of guarantee here - I'm just looking for a way to
make our user community feel more welcomed.
Thanks.

Hello,
i'm not a developer, but a simple openstack operator. And i'm not
skilled enough on all the possible environments, i'm using only
tripleo for setup.
What's the kind of support you expect to have?
I can help for what i know, in standard european office hours, but it
all depends on the target of the support.

Just answering the questions that people are already asking on #rdo -
usually setup and operation of an OpenStack cloud.
The frustration that was being expressed was coming to #rdo to ask
questions, and getting no response. So, while I don't actually see this
happening very often, if we knew there were times we could count on
someone paying attention, that would help.

That's the same frustration i had firsts time in #rdo, and i suppose
is the same that users has when logging to #openstack that is mostly
dead.
IRC is quite unused in recent times by users, and devs use only for
communicating between them and users are mostly of the time ignored.
I never left #rdo only because i was more or less lurking and trying
to understand how the community was working, but this is not the case
of most of the users joining irc channels looking for help.
I'll gladly help, but this will require a better collaboration between
#rdo-ers, because if only few is open to help, the goal of making
users more confortable is hard to reach (had the same issue with
Italian Ubuntu Local Community Team).

I try my best to be available on the channel during European office hours. It might be
easier for me during the morning (between 9:30 and 13:30 CET) because most of my meetings
are held in my afternoons.

Similar here, morning CET time is the most suitable for me. I could
commit to be responsive for questions from community one day, let's
say wednesday (other day if you prefer) maybe from 10:00 to 13:00. I'm
normally on IRC and could respond other days and other times depending
on availability of course, but that time would be like a "come here
and ping me directly if you need it". Would that work?, maybe others
could do similar other days so that we can have wider coverage.
Best regards,
Alfredo

One thing I would recommend is to make people that can answer
questions more obvious.
I've been making myself channel operator sort of on purpose due to
that and I've had users reach out to me directly for help because of
that.
Perhaps voice the maintainers/helpers in the channel so people know who to ask ?
Some upstream channels use that to identify cores on the projects.

Related: At one point we had a SME (Subject Matter Expert) list,
identifying who to ask if you had, say, Networking questions. This has
long since lapsed and been removed.
