Chicago Python's Community Engagement Slack bot.

## Introduction

With over six thousand members, the [Chicago Python Users Group](https://www.chipy.org/) (ChiPy) is one of the largest Python communities in the world. Slack has become the primary method of communication amongst our members in-between events. We developed an open-source Slack bot, codename: Busy Beaver, to increase community engagement.

We released Busy Beaver on Jan 10th, 2019 at the Chicago Python `__main__` Meeting. [Slides](http://bit.ly/busy-beaver) and [video recording](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dBESR_x7Kc) from the release announcement are available online.

## Features

### Upcoming Events

Busy Beaver integrates with Meetup API to provide details about upcoming events. Events are downloaded to the Busy Beaver database periodically.

Users are able to query using the `/busybeaver` [slash command](https://api.slack.com/slash-commands).

- `/busybeaver next` shows details of the upcoming event

- `/busybeaver events` shows details of upcoming events

A periodic CRON job has been set to post the contents of `/busybeaver events` in a designed Slack channel.

### GitHub Activity

Busy Beaver posts daily summaries of public GitHub activity for registered users in the `#busy-beaver` channel on the [ChiPy Slack](https://chipy.slack.com/). The goal of this feature is to increase engagement by sparking conversations around GitHub activity.

Users sign up for an account by `DM`ing the bot with the phrase: `connect`. The bot requires users to sign into GitHub to ensure only authorized activity is posted in the channel.

### Call For Proposals

Busy Beaver posts open Call For Proposals (CFP) for your organization and upcoming Python conferences in a designated channel.

Note: This feature is in beta. Please create an issue if you would like support for other conference types.

### Roadmap

We are currently working on additional features to improve ChiPy community engagement. Please join the conversation in `#busy-beaver-meta` on the [ChiPy Slack](https://chipy.slack.com/).
