Inspired by Leif's offer, I've decided to offer Clojure office hours as well.
I'm based in the UK so I reckon the times will be more amenable to those in Europe (not sure the times will be good for those in Asia unfortunately.) Sadly the offer is limited to 1h a day, but hopefully it'll still be useful. You can book me at https://ucb.youcanbook.me/ Cheers!
