Hello, folks. I'm sorry for the quick self-correction. As implied in yesterday's email, we pulled this together rather quickly, and rather than write the announcement from scratch, we based it off of a different meeting. You don't need to share details about your affiliation, etc., to get the zoomlink. We do try to ensure that people are eligible (Wikimedians in good standing), but otherwise we don't need all that detail. I've updated the Meta page. <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=IRC_office_hours%2FOffice_hours_2021-06-29&type=revision&diff=21648546&oldid=21645324>
