Office Hours and the Bi-weekly meeting have converged to 1 weekly meeting. Each Office Hours is an open format meeting you can use to ask any questions you’d like.

But now we are reserving the Office Hours Session following a new OPA release to showcase the new features from that release. Join the next session on August 9th to hear about the v0.43.0 release
