How does this different from the WG meeting?

@dprotaso it might be a branding problem. One of the things that came up in the interviews with newer contributors was that they didn't feel "ready" to come to the WG meetings. So, perhaps rebranding them to something that sounds less formal could help? Or splitting the WG meetings into triage and office hours (maybe alternating weekly)?

Yeah that might be it.

Pulling triage out makes sense for the WGs that are doing triage in those meetings.
Just note that sync meetings are pretty difficult to have - ideally if there was a more approachable async way (eg. utlizing GitHub issues/Discussions or something else) that would be preffered by myself. Especially since you could search questions that were asked before.
Let's rebrand as office hours...

You're absolutely right, but I think the idea is preparing a more welcoming and safe environment for people asking questions. And, we're supposed to do the WG meetings anyway, so, we might improve the situation with rebranding.
I am curious what WG leads think. @knative/ux-wg-leads @knative/serving-wg-leads @knative/client-wg-leads @knative/eventing-wg-leads
I think ideally we should have a separate general office hours, not related to any WG, but let's start with rebranding IMO.
One of the recommendations for enhancing the contributor experience in Knative, as outlined in the Contributor Experience Research 2024, involves implementing scheduled office hours.
Here's a breakdown of the proposal:
