General Purpose And Feature planning #22

It seems of my two initial ideas, one was very successful (people picking their technologies & regions) and the other completely flopped.

I will get started on updating the bot's dependencies as well as the latest version of discordjs and looking through previous issues on this repo, but I would like to get feedback from the community on some ideas I have to increase the bot's utility (And justify @aldras generous lease of his Sakura server to us 😛

  1. Command for listing upcoming events (by week, month etc.)

Reason: Discord's event planning UI is clunky. It would be nice to have a quick and easy command to see what's going on.

  1. Command for URLs to previous presentations

Reason: We haven't started this yet, but I think it would be nice to archive (with consent of the presenters of course) our talks so they can be referenced later.

  1. Code/Design quizzes.

Reason: To encourage more activity on the discord server. I concede this isn't going to enhance human-to-human interaction, but it might get discussions going. We would source/create our own questions.

of course, I'm open to more feature suggestions, those are just the ones I had off the top of my head.
