## Office hours and sprints
Every few weeks, we hold meetings on chat.zulip.org: office hours or
sprints. Anyone can schedule one: announce it in
[#announce](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/announce) and on
[the zulip-devel mailing
list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/zulip-devel) a few days
ahead of time, and ideally, tell
[Sumana](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/sender/18-sh) so she can put
it on [the public Zulip meetings
calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ktiduof4eoh47lmgcl2qunnc0o@group.calendar.google.com).
*Office hours* are simply times for us to informally discuss current
priorities, find out what questions people have, and so on. We set
them up so people know there'll be more people around at a particular
time to chat. You don't need to RSVP and you don't need to show up on
time or stop conversations when the "hour" stops. They start in
[#general](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/general) and
conversations move into other streams and topics as they come up.
*Sprints* are times when Zulip developers get together in chat, and
sometimes in person, to work on related issues at the same time.
