I have started doing office hours for my FOSS project. Every other week I will live stream to YouTube and people ask comments in the live chat, then I show how to do whatever it is they want to do. In the beginning as people are logging on I talk about what we have been doing for the last two weeks. I alternate between my mornings and my evenings so most uses can join one session no matter where they are.

Of course the first time I was worried that no one would show up. So for the first session I had a plan for what I would do if no one showed up or there were no questions. Now some people also submit questions in advance so I have a small agenda to get started with until people ask questions.

So far it's been encouraging. About 10 people join the live sessions and there are enough questions to keep the conversation going and not too many questions so I have to ignore some. But the most surprising is the recorded sessions get many more views afterwards. So it's a good way of generating content that people actually watch.
