Yes! I had forgotten about this. I don’t know my way very well around GH, so please, feel free all of you to correct anything I’ve done or tell me how to do it right. HTML rendered version of it on github: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/w3c/idcg/blob/master/office-hours.html Github page: https://github.com/w3c/idcg/blob/master/office-hours.html I’ve created an idcg github team and populated with those who supplied office hours, and that I could find in github. That team has write access to the repo.

I post my calendar on Twitter and a couple of other forums, so the meetings are open to anyone (though I do set some basic ground rules like no selling, and that I make no commitment to doing homework after any call). This isn't about creating business, it isn't a paid service, it's a community thing designed to help people out.
