Script for drawing team leaders for the final assignment

[pattacini]

So, it looks like we'll have lots of candidates as leaders of the teams we'll form to tackle the final assignment, since many of you @vvv-school/vvv17-teachers are performing really well in this school, and the rest are running up closely (check out the ranking) 🎉

Therefore, we'll have to pick up those at the top of the final gradebook and possibly also draw some others. We could do that at the old manner with names written on small pieces of paper or, even better, with a script! 😉

Is anybody willing to write that script ? That would be great! 💻

Requirements:

• We'll run the script on Ubuntu >= trusty.
• You can use bash, python, ruby, lua...
• You'll have to wget final-gradebook.md and process it:
  • wget -O final-gradebook.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vvv-school/vvv17/master/final-gradebook.md
• We would need the script ready and functioning by Monday morning.

The script will be pushed to vvv17 and used in future VVV schools.

Hi Ugo,

here you can find a script which should do the job: https://github.com/damianomal/vvv17-get-some-leaders

Hope it helps!

See you tomorrow, Damiano

Fantastic @damianomal 😄

I gave just a try to it and it seems it works nicely in different conditions of the gradebook. In particular, it's not always drawing your username 😉

Why don't you open a PR and locate this script within the ./scripts directory of this repository and with default --file option equal to ../final-gradebook.md?
