Zodbot

Overview

zodbot is a [ supybot http://sourceforge.net/projects/supybot/ ] instance connected to the irc.freenode.net irc network.

zodbot runs on the noc1.fedoraproject.org host, hosted by Fedora infrastructure.

This page describes what zodbot does and how it can be used by those with the permissions to operate it.

Addressing zodbot

zodbot watches for . as it's prefix, so if you want to query it in a channel, you will need to add . to the beginning of any of the listed commands below. If you wish to avoid chatter in channel from zodbot, you can /msg it directly, in which case you do not need the prefix character, you may wish to do this in channels with a large number of users or if you have a number of queries.

Fedora Plugin Functions

Zodbot is able to query a number of Fedora specific items, including:

• #endmeeting

Zodbot also has some aliases setup to list the time until various meetings:
