Hi,

tl;dr summary:- Come to #ubuntu-touch on Freenode IRC at 13:00 UTC today 
(and every Wednesday) for the Ubuntu Touch Weekly Clinic.

Feel free to ping myself (popey) or Michael Hall (mhall119) on IRC to 
get our attention :)

Long version:- We're pleased to see that new contributors, hackers and 
people just having a play with Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview are coming 
to #ubuntu-touch at all hours of the day and night to get and give help 
and discuss what they're doing.

We have noticed though that sometimes people aren't getting answers to 
their questions, usually because they ask when many core contributors 
are asleep or just busy doing other things. This is the nature of IRC, 
and we're not looking to force people to only come to the channel at 
certain times.

We do though want to improve our communication by having a specific time 
when developers and other experts will actually be around, and if we 
can't get an answer immediately, make a note of it so we can get back to 
people later.

We picked a time when it seems most core contributors are available, 
covering European afternoon and American morning. Everyone is of course 
welcome at any time in the channel, this gives us a focal point for our 
users. This isn't a formal "Q&A" like the Ubuntu On Air sessions, but 
simply an accessible-for-most slot when we can guarantee people will be 
around.

First clinic starts today at 13:00 UTC. Everyone is welcome.

Cheers,
