Weekly Office Hours - How to make them better?

For almost 8-9 months the Backdrop CMS community has been hosting regular office hours every Wednesday. Originally intended as a place for either folks evaluating Backdrop CMS or people that already use Backdrop CMS to drop in and ask questions, mostly these office hours have become a time for a regular group of participants to share projects and talk informally about things happening in the Backdrop community. 

As someone that uses Backdrop CMS, is the availability of regular office hours that you can drop in and ask questions a valuable or useful resource?

If you haven't taken advantage of office hours, but would like to, what is holding you back? Is there something we could do to make office hours more useful or accessible?
