Zodbot

zodbot is a [ supybot http://sourceforge.net/projects/supybot/ ] instance connected to the irc.freenode.net IRC network and joined to many Fedora-related IRC channels.

zodbot runs on the noc1.fedoraproject.org host, hosted by Fedora infrastructure.

This page describes what zodbot does and how it can be used by those with the permissions to operate it.

Addressing zodbot

zodbot watches for . as it's prefix, so if you want to query it in a channel, you will need to add . to the beginning of any of the listed commands below. If you wish to avoid chatter in channel from zodbot, you can address zodbot directly. You may wish to do this in channels with a large number of users or if you have a number of queries. For example:

/msg zodbot whoowns fedora-release

for a single query, or

/query zodbot whoowns fedora-release

for an extended conversation.

Meeting Functions

zodbot has the supybot-meetbot plugin package installed and configured. See: the MeetBot wiki page for more information on the meeting commands. Meeting logs will be at [ http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org ].

In general for meetings using the plugin, you will want to use this sequence of commands:

• #startmeeting - start the meeting.
• #meetingtopic <topic> - overall meeting topic (example: FESCo meeting)
• #topic <currenttopic> - Use topic to go through each of the topics in your adgenda. The main meetingtopic will stay the same.
• #info, #help, #agreed, #denied, etc - as needed in the meeting.
• #endmeeting

Zodbot also has some aliases setup to list the time until various meetings:

nextfescomeeting, nextkdemeeting, nextepelmeeting, nextinframeeting, nextrelengmeeting, etc. These commands will list the time until the next meeting of that sig or group.

Other useful commands

• seen <nick> - returns the last time nick was seen in that channel and what they were saying.
• any <nick> - returns the last time nick was in any channel zodbot is in and what they were saying.
