OpenStack PTG Bot
=================
ptgbot is the bot that PTG room moderators use to surface what's
currently happening at the event. Commands follow the following format::
#ROOMNAME [now|next] TOPIC
From that information the bot builds a static webpage with discussion
topics currently discussed ("now") and an indicative set of discussion
topics coming up next ("next").
Please note that:
* There can only be one "now" topic at a time. If multiple topics are
discussed at the same time in various corners of the room, they should
all be specified in a single "now" command.
* In order to ensure that information is current, entering a "now" command
wipes out any "next" entry for the same room. You might want to refresh
those after entering a "now" topic.
Example::
#swift now discussing ring placement
#swift next at 2pm we plan to discuss #glance support
#swift next around 3pm we plan to cover cold storage features
...
#swift now discussing #glance support, come over!
#swift next at 3pm we plan to cover cold storage features
Testing
=======
Copy config.ini.sample to config.ini::
cp config.ini.sample config.ini
Edit config.ini contents, for example::
[ircbot]
nick=ptgbot
pass=
server=irc.freenode.net
port=6667
channels=testptg
db=html/ptg.json
In one terminal, run the bot::
tox -evenv -- ptgbot -d config.ini
Join that channel and give a command to the bot::
#swift now discussing ring placement
(note, the bot currently only takes commands from Freenode identified users)
In another terminal, start the webserver::
cd html && python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Open the web page in a web browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/ptg.html
