every month) at 4 PM America/New_York time, we have a release planning
meeting, where we:

* talk about what our goals should be for the next release
* create a release plan on the wiki (along the lines of e.g. [[0.11.11]])
* preliminarily assign tasks to ourselves and others.

not for coding help, though if people want to powwow on OpenHatch
features or ask for help after the meeting is over, that seems like a

At the second-to-last week of the release (usually two weeks after the release
planning meeting), we have a devel meeting (4 PM Saturday America/New_York time). At this meeting:
* People report what they're working on, and ask for help as needed
▲3. Release planning
== Ongoing, twice weekly: Office hours ==
During the Saturday meeting time on the other weeks, and one
other day per week every week (Wednesdays 12 PM US/Eastern), we hold "office hours".
At these times:
* Asheesh and other OpenHatch contributors will be listening in IRC
* We will help newcomers find FOSS projects to work on or contribute to OpenHatch itself
* Veteran OH contributors are encouraged to hack on OH during office hours and ask for help then, as well
(Side note: Asheesh, Jessica, and others of
course hang out in #openhatch all the time doing this sort of thing.
The point of having formal "office hours" is so we can publish them in
our contributor guide / wiki / wherever and point newcomers to a
specific time and place where they can get reliable help, since we
would otherwise be having devel meetings far less frequently.)
