Connect people for a coffee using slack
This script can be use in a daily cronttab to match a pair of 2 people for a coffee (or any other beverage).
coffeeconnection will get all the members of a slack channel, and during a time
period (1w by default), every day a few people will be called to have a coffee
together.
At the end of the week, every members of the channel should have participate to 1 coffee party. (People can join the channel during the week)
We use setupttools (feel free to install it with --user if you prefer)
$ sudo ./setup.py install
Write a crontab:
$ cat /etc/cron.d/coffeeconnection
0 16 * * 1-5 myuser /usr/local/bin/coffeeconnection
You have to copy coffeeconnection.ini:
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/coffeeconnection/
$ cp coffeeconnection.ini ~/.config/coffeeconnection/coffeeconnection.ini
Edit it with your slack credential
The sentences the bot says come from the file coffeeconnection/niceties.txt.
You should edit it to make it more fun :-)
