highlights for any interesting subjects from the Ubuntu Server Team. If
you would like to reach the server team, you can find us at the
#ubuntu-server channel on Freenode. Alternatively, you can sign up and

## Spotlight: Ubuntu Server Office Hours
As proposed [1], the Ubuntu Server team will now host weekly office
hours in the #ubuntu-server IRC channel. The Canonical Server team will
be present during these office hours to discuss and work-through any
questions or bugs about Ubuntu Server. The office hours will replace the
previous structured IRC meeting, but continue to occur at the same time:
Tuesdays at 1600 UTC.
