Inspired by Matt’s tweet, I’m trying out offering office hours. You grab half an hour of my time and we can chat about whatever you think I can help you with.

While you're planning your New Year resolutions, I have a suggestion: hold #OfficeHours once a week. I put one hour aside each Friday for the last several months to talk with anyone about inclusive design, and it is truly my favorite time of the work week.

If you’re in Savannah, I also like to do coffee meetings weekdays between 8-9, but you should email me about those.

Some rules, because it wouldn’t be official without some:

• Please don’t try to sell me anything. If you want to get feedback on your pitch, great, but I just… I don’t want to.
• You set the agenda. Some things you might ask me about:
  • Savannah’s tech scene, TechSAV, or codebar Savannah.
  • Savannah restaurants
  • Baking bread
  • Technical leadership
  • Ruby on Rails or CSS (or databases or javascript or whatever)
  • How to create a guerilla organization that actually gets things done.
  • How to write a resume that a robot can read
  • Being on a board
• I guess “no sales pitches” is really the only rule.

And while you’re at it, why don’t you set up your own #OfficeHours and share what you know! It’s ridiculously easy to set up either Calendly, Fantastical’s new Openings feature or a Public Calendar on Google so people can talk to you.
