Short post to promote IDCG open office hours

Everyone,

Here is the text of the blog post we'll publish to promote the open 
office hours. Plan is to publish it early next week, then promote it 
again in early 2021.

Text begins...

We want people with different experiences and perspectives to become 
part of the W3C, because without diverse voices in every part of our 
community we cannot lead the web to its full potential.

One way we hope to do this is by inviting people from under-represented 
communities to stop by and chat with members of the W3C community. We've 
borrowed the"open office hours"  idea from colleges and universities 
where instructors set aside time each week to talk with their students. 
Members of the W3C Inclusion and Diversity Community Group (IDCG) are 
holding open office hours to chat with people from under-represented 
groups who would like to know more
about the W3C and how to get involved, but do not know where to start.

You can find out more on the W3C open office hours page, including how 
to find time to chat with one of the IDCG volunteers.
... text ends.

I'll link to the relevant things like the IDCG page, and also the open 
office hours page itself of course:
