meetingbot's Introduction

Meetingbot

This is an XMPP bot to help run meetings. It can:

  • Manage a queue of speakers (with "q+", "q-", etc.)
  • Take a virtual "hum" -- i.e., sense of the room / vote

It is inspired by the W3C's Zakim.

Setup

Before you start your meeting:

  • Clone or download the meetingbot project,
  • Make sure you have Python 3,
  • Install aioxmpp (e.g., pip3 install aioxmpp), and
  • Create a jabber account for your bot.

To run it, use a command line like this:

./meetingbot.py -j [email protected] -p --muc [email protected] --nick meetingbot

... where -j gives the Jabber ID of the account that meetingbot will log in as (the password will be asked for, thanks to -p). --muc gives the name of the chat room that it will join, and --nick is the nickname it will use.

Once it's joined the channel, type help for available commands.

meetingbot's Issues

Dump / restore state

When there's a crash or ordered shutdown, it would be interesting to make the state of the queue and any running hum available (on STDOUT)?, and then as an option take it on STDIN at startup.

Meetingbot config file

I am running the bot on my server. I have removed the -p argument and use -A instead, with a hardcoded password (sorry). I am just running it as a background process at the moment (using "&").

It'd be nice to add a config file for the arguments instead. I believe aioxmpp supports that already. That'd help to run it with a nice process manager or on docker.

Chair / secretary role

It might be good to allow the chair(s) nicks to be specified on the command line, so that only they have permission to open/close the queue, start a hum, etc.

Not sure this is entirely necessary, though.

Multiple MUCs

Rather than requiring a command line invocation for a single MUC, it would be good to support multiple MUCs -- ideally with some sort of invite mechanism, so that a single service can be run.

Public Instance?

Are there any (semi-)public instances, even just for testing purposes? I don't think chat.mnot.net exists, does it?
