Overview
The Acorn Design System team hosts a weekly recurring office hours for the Firefox community. (Hey dev! You can also get desktop reusable components support during office hours). The purpose of office hours is to:

- Gain insight into what teams are working on or struggling with
Audience
Primarily designers, engineers, and PMs – but everyone is welcome to join!
Cadence
Once a week, on Mondays – we alternate between an American and European-friendly timezone at 11:00 AM EST and 2:00 PM EST.

However, if you didn't get a chance to sign up or want to come by last minute, that's totally fine too!
