Create a Slack bot for the #python C&S channel #2

The bot would perform useful services for the group and the channel. This would also create an opportunity to work on a non-trivial project as a group effort at hack nights, etc.

Some random feature ideas that may or may not be good ideas or possible to implement, but came off the top of our heads during a brainstorming session:

  1. Could post notifications when new issues (e.g. topic proposals) are created in pghpy-talks
  2. Could let channel users express an interest in hearing about certain topics, which could be recorded
  3. Could let people sign-up for lightning talk nights?
  4. Could answer FAQs about the group or C&S
  5. Could post notifications to the channel of new Python or PghPy-related events

This project could leverage a number of existing libraries / projects:

We can also setup a git repository for this project under the pghpy organization.
