## Office hours and sprints
## Chat meetings
Every few weeks, we hold meetings on chat.zulip.org: office hours or
sprints. Anyone can schedule one: announce it in
We have regular chat meetings on Zulip to coordinate work on various
parts of the Zulip project. While most developer discussion happens
asynchonrously, these meetings are used mainly to coordinate work
within a major area of Zulip. These meetings are usually scheduled in
Pacific time mornings, since that seems to be the best time for our
global contributor base (the part of the world where it's the deep
middle of the night is the Pacific Ocean).
Anyone is welcome to attend and contribute to the discussions in these
meetings, and they're a great time to stop by and introduce yourself
if you'd like to get involved (though really, any time is, so).
Here are the regular meetings that exist today along with their usual
times (actual times are listed in the linked agenda documents):
* Mobile team on
[#mobile](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/mobile), generally
Wednesdays at 10AM Pacific time. [Agendas][mobile-agendas].
* Backend/infrastructure team on
[#backend](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/backend), generally
Fridays at 10AM Pacific time. [Agendas][infra-agendas].
* Bots and integrations team on
[#integrations](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/integrations),
generally Thursdays at 9AM Pacific time. [Agendas][bots-agendas].

### Office hours and sprints
We also do project-wide ad-hoc "office hours" and remote sprints
irregularly, about once a month.
Anyone can schedule one: announce it in
[#announce](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/announce) and on
[the zulip-devel mailing
list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/zulip-devel) a few days
ahead of time, and ideally, tell
[the zulip-devel mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/zulip-devel)
a few days ahead of time, and ideally, tell
[Sumana](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/sender/18-sh) so she can put
it on [the public Zulip meetings
calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ktiduof4eoh47lmgcl2qunnc0o@group.calendar.google.com).

*Office hours* are simply times for us to informally discuss current
priorities, find out what questions people have, and so on. We set
them up so people know there'll be more people around at a particular
time to chat. You don't need to RSVP and you don't need to show up on
time or stop conversations when the "hour" stops. They start in

start in [#general](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/general) and
conversations move into other streams and topics as they come up.
*Sprints* are times when Zulip developers get together in chat, and
sometimes in person, to work on related issues at the same time.
