Advertise an active event across multiple channels #22

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

The testdaybot should be able to advertise an active event across multiple IRC channels. This should be done at regular intervals or when queried by the event organizer.

galgeek commented 9 years ago

should the event organizer always specify the multiple channels, or are they always the same, or maybe usually the same, but we want to be able to add an additional channel occasionally?

Here is a list of commonly used channels on irc.mozilla.org (there's likely more channels): https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC#Commonly_Used_Mozilla_IRC_Channels

I think #contributors, #developers, #interns, #introduction, #mozillians, #newbies, and #seneca would be a good default as that'll have the greatest likelihood of catching newcomers.

I'd stay away from making locale, project, or team specific channels a default. However, event organizers should be able to tell Testdaybot to advertise in these channels at their discretion.

That sounds like a good list. I wonder if we should also add #firefox to that list. There is a lot of end-user activity going on.

I wonder if we should also add #firefox to that list.

I had thought about that but I'm a bit hesitant to use that IRC channel by default since in some cases we might have testdays that aren't applicable to Firefox.

Ok, so lets leave it alone for now. Thanks for your feedback. I think all should be clear now so that Barbara can work on it.
