[all[tc][ptls] Success bot lives on!
Hi all, Hope you're all settled back in after an absolutely crazily long week in Denver. The TC met on Saturday the 4th of May for the PTG and we had a large group discussing how we can evolve our systems towards more simplicity, fun, exciting, enjoyable, and rewarding (take your wordy pick). But in the mean time, we don't appear to celebrate the little things anymore. One of the proposals to this was to revive success bot for consistent use. For those who don't know or remember what success bot is, it is a success IRC bot (*dramatic gasp*) that makes it simple to record "little moments of joy and progress" and share them. Review this article for more info [1] or the original email from Thierry [2]. It is clear that we still have some using it, with about ~25 posts last year and 2 so far this year, but I think we can do better than that. There are a lot of new people in the community, so I hope this generates more interest! So whenever you feel like you (or someone) made progress, or had a little success in your OpenStack adventures, or have some joyful moment to share, just throw the following message on your local IRC channel: #success [Your message here] The openstackstatus bot will take that and record it on the wiki page [3]. Cheers, Alex IRC: asettle Twitter: dewsday [1] https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/success-bot-helps-share-your-happy-... [2] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/076552.html [3] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Successes p.s - The bot still only works in channels where openstackstatus is present (the official OpenStack IRC channels), and we may remove entries that are off-topic or spam.

I think we had talked about sending a weekly summary to the list or something. I know I don't tend to check the wiki page on a regular basis. Is there any plan around that?

There sure is. So, based on those numbers above ^^ there's not really a case to jump in and go "ahoy, let's send the results to the list" as there really is no (not many) results at the moment. So, to start - I'm hoping this email generates interest in using the success bot, and then the plan is to change the output location from the wiki, to auto send an email (that, or scrap the wiki diff to generate an email) :)
Cheers,
Alex

A subsequent addition also created a thanksbot mechanism, as described in this SU article from last year: https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/thank_bot/ It's similarly under-utilized, but serves as a reminder that I should be thanking people for their contributions with greater frequency than I do. -- Jeremy Stanley

Jeremy, Thank you for the Thanks Bot reminder. I had used it in the past and then totally forgot about it. Think if we can start using these more regularly again and then share the notes regularly it would be nice. Jay
