Woot, ya there is a bunch of nice features although I will admit after
doing some plugins there is also a little things that are sort of what I
would call oddities as well (but meh, nothing is perfect, ha).
Reviews up for a new project for all these (plugins and probably a main
bot entrypoint/main):
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/349046/
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/348998/
I'm thinking I'll just move over
https://github.com/harlowja/gerritbot2/blob/master/plugins/gerritbot/gerritbot.py
after that and we can work through some of the oddities to make that
plugin map better on the existing gerritbot (which has it's own
unique/special configuration yaml style) and then we can work through
various other plugins at the same time (with meetbot being the
complicated one) and then <profit!>

FWIW I can vouch for the quality of Errbot, I've used it on several
occasions and we're currently using it in the RDO community.
A very useful feature that I like is the webserver hook integration.
This allows the bot to essentially expose an endpoint and you can send
things to it.
For example, we have a sensu_event [1] endpoint and we have a sensu
handler that sends events to it, the bot then sends an alert to our
IRC channels.

Hi folks,
I was thinking it might be useful to see what other folks think about
switching (or migrating all the current bots we have in openstack) to be
based on errbot plugins.
Errbot @ http://errbot.io/en/latest/ takes a slightly different approach to
bots and treats each bot 'feature' as a plugin that can be activated and
deactivated with-in the context of the same bot (even doing so
dynamically/at runtime).
It also allows for those that use slack (or other backend @
http://errbot.io/en/latest/features.html) to be able to 'seamlessly' use the
same plugins and just switching a tiny amount config to use a different 'bot
backend'.
I've been experimenting with it more recently and have a gerritbot (sort of
equivalent) @ https://github.com/harlowja/gerritbot2 and also have been
working on a oslobot plugin @ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/343857/ and
during this exploration it has gotten me to think that we could move most of
the functionality of the various bots in openstack (patchbot, openstack -
really meetbot, gerritbot and others?) under the same umbrella (or at least
convert them into plugins that folks can run on IRC or if they want to run
them on some other backend that's cool to).
The hardest one I can think would be meetbot, although the code @
https://github.com/openstack-infra/meetbot doesn't look impossible (or
really that hard to convert to an errbot plugin).
What do people think?
Any strong preference?
I was also thinking that as a result we could then just have a single
'openstack' bot and also turn on plugins like:
- https://github.com/aherok/errbot_plugins (helps with timezone conversions
that might be useful to have for folks that keep on getting them wrong).
- some stackalytics integration bot?
- something even better???
- some other plugin @ https://github.com/errbotio/errbot/wiki
