Benefits and Logistics of Kubernetes Office Hours

](https://www.youtube.com/embed/Aj0yozuQ0ME?ecver=2) It's often easier to field this kind of question in office hours than it is to ask a developer to write a full-length blog post. \[Editor's note: That's legit!\] Because we don't have infinite developers with infinite time, this kind of focused communication creates high-bandwidth help while limiting developer commitments to 1 hour per month. This allows a rotating set of experts to share the load without overwhelming any one person. We hold office hours the third Wednesday of every month on the [Kubernetes YouTube Channel][9]. You can post questions on the [#office-hours channel][10] on Slack, or you can submit your question to Stack Overflow and post a link on Slack. If you post a question in advance, you might get better answers, as volunteers have more time to research and prepare. If a question can't be fully solved during the call, the team will try their best to point you in the right direction and/or ping other people in the community to take a look. [Check out this page][7] for more details on what's off- and on topic as well as meeting information for your time zone. We hope to hear your questions soon! Special thanks to Amazon, Bitnami, Giant Swarm, Heptio, Liquidweb, Northwestern Mutual, Packet.net, Pivotal, Red Hat, Weaveworks, and VMWare for donating engineering time to office hours. And thanks to Alan Pope, Joe Beda, and Charles Butler for technical support in making our livestream better.

Kubernetes Office Hours offers a high-bandwidth help channel with limited developer commitment. The sessions, held on the third Wednesday of each month on the Kubernetes YouTube Channel, allow users to ask questions via Slack or Stack Overflow. Advance posting of questions is encouraged for better-researched answers. The team will provide guidance and direct users to community experts if full solutions aren't immediately available. Information on acceptable topics and meeting times is provided. Special thanks are given to various companies for donating engineering time and to individuals for technical support.
