Hello,

I suppose people might be curious about Arch Women's other bot too. Her name is awbot. [1]

awbot is actually a collection of bots for different uses. Currently two of them are in service. One logs the channel and the other announces to -dev git commits pushed to Arch Women's server.

The bots are written in bash. There is work on a unified bot written in python. [2] The python bot will do generic announcements of any event, not just git pushes. We might need a generic announcement bot soon, before the python bot is finished. In that situation we may use irkerd. [3]
