Lunchbot

At Mozilla, we have about 30 interns spread over 3 floors of the office. We often want different types of lunch at different times, but there was no easy way to co-ordinate this on IRC. Lunchbot tries to solve this problem.

How

All commands require you to explicitly mention lunchbot at the beginning of the line, either as 'lunchbot:' or 'lunchbot'

1. ask everyone in channel for lunch [IMPLEMENTED]

• ask everyone

2. ask ops for lunch (At mozilla, all current interns have ops) [IMPLEMENTED]

• ask ops

3. express interest in lunch

• i [want/would like/need/desperate for] lunch
• i [am/will be] hungry

once you do this you will be pinged for lunch regardless of you signing up for alarms or exclusion.

4. create a lunch time and ping everyone interested at that time (this is pretty useless without options) [IMPLEMENTED]

• lunch at HH:MM [+options] [message] eg. lunch at 12:30 at Le Boulanger

Options: [NOT implemented, needs some thinking]

• --invite= - automatically ping all (space separated nicks) at that time
• --exclusive - no one else can sign up for this lunch and it won't show up when anyone not in --invite runs command (5)

5. view lunch times

• lunches

6. signup for a lunch time [IMPLEMENTED]

• signup HH:MM with

You will be pinged 5 minutes before the time.

7. disable notifications

• had lunch full not hungry

disable all lunch notifications, including any you have manually signed up for. NOTE: there is no way to undo this for now, so be careful.

8. reset (useful for the next day)

• rollover requires a password so that only one responsible person can initiate day change.

lunchbot does NOT handle time zones, it better be in the same physical location as everyone else.
