Re: [LUG] Libera.Chat IRC Project Registration request for the Devon and Cornwall GNU/Linux Users Group

 

Hey all,

Just to clarify on my program: it's an IRC bot, which will have various commands, 
but the primary job is to automatically update the TOPIC on IRC to the next virtual 
meet/physical meet. This does require a template, but it can be updated when and as 
needed. The other thing the bot will do is send a short email to the mailing list a 
week, and two days before the meet to remind everyone. This can be adjusted if 
that's too frequent.

So I suppose it's not just an IRC bot, but a multi-purpose bot.

Repo: https://github.com/shymega/DCGLUG-OmniBot

Yes, I know, Java, but it's actually not that bad for this, and I did attempt it in 
bash with ii, but ultimately I was just using `sleep` to wait for NickServ etc, and 
it got to the point where it was very hacky, and potentially vulnerable to attack as 
well.

At least with Java, I can use my existing knowledge to add modularity, and also have 
callbacks to wait for authentication and channel joining to complete.

Pushing local changes soon... all welcome to contribute.

Cheers.
