[OOTB-hive] Connecting (more) the community + OOTBee challenge

[Boriss Mejias]

Hi all,

The idea sounds very good to me. In fact, IIRC, it is closer to the
original idea that Jeff and Richard had when they decided to start office
hours. However, making a list of topics to discuss during office hours
moved them very quickly to have a sort of presentation mode, but still very
informal. I guess the once-per-month frequency made it so that too many
topics accumulated. Having informal office hours weekly would probably
benefit from a more informal conversation, which I think it's good.

I'll try to participate as much as I can.

Cheers
Boriss
