Re: [Ekiga-list] IRC channel activity

[Genghis Khan <genghiskhan gmx ca>]

Dear fellow SIP users,

This email was sent to Ekiga, Jitsi, Linphone, QuteCom, and SFLphone
in order to promote a shared aspiration which is decentralized VoIP.

This is a part of a thread which I have originally started in the
Ekiga Users Mailing List (Support & Help).

______
Issue: Using IRC Bot to display updates from RSS feeds in order to get
       more audience, reputation, productivity and activity.
       IRC Bot Software: GOZERBOT http://gozerbot.org/ (BSD License)


Since the fact that some of us are volunteers and not everyone of us
has enough resources, enough time, enough experience then it would
be best to all of us to have the most proper bot manager that can be.

This subject is relevant to all of you I propose on registering a new
user at the Freenode IRC Network with the name "SIP-Bot" which the bot
will use and serve all the VoIP project channels.


The following instrucations are relevant to everyone, despite the fact
that it is specifically aimed at Ekiga.

______
Topic: Setting up the bot to scan and post news titles of Web Feeds

Commands to be executed at #ekiga (gnome)

* Feeds that are relevant to all of us:
!rss-add GNU_Telephony http://planet.gnu.org/gnutelephony/?feed=rss2
!rss-add SOS https://github.com/skypeopensource.atom

* EDL, EUL, GS, LU, SFLP and SOS were shortened because
  each of them already has its title in each feed entry.

* Concerning to "?" Activity, "?" News and "?" GIT
  Each feed has its own place in its own related channel!

!rss-watch News
!rss-start News

!rss-watch GIT
!rss-start GIT

!rss-watch GNU_Telephony

Change reload time:
Default reload period as it seems is 1800 seconds (30 minutes)

Suggestion for period cycles:
	Two (2) hours for the lists.
	Four (4) for the activity at GIT. (or less. you diced)
	Six (6) hours or Eighteen (18) hours or a few days for
	the VoIP project news blogs).

Owner:    !rss-sleeptime git
gozerbot: sleeptime for git is 1800 seconds
Owner:    !rss-setsleeptime git 7200
gozerbot: sleeptime set
Owner:    !rss-sleeptime git
gozerbot: sleeptime for git is 7200 seconds


THE BOT IS READY!

These commands should be executed at #ekiga (gnome)
* Commands applied only to the channels in which they were executed at.

@ Seeing activity from the bot will urge newcomers to ask questions,
  express interest in Ekiga and to actively participate instead of
  going away and forget about Ekiga, and open VoIP.
@ Voices are matter, we also need voices in the Documentation Projects.


Little note to Jitsi and SFLphone: Thank you for
bothering to open StatusNet account at http://identi.ca/
