Description
We build a Matrix bot with Maubot - a plugin-based Matrix bot system written in Python. We already have some bot available like Ubottu or Queuebot and we would love to add some more to the Ubuntu Matrix ecosystem.
The workshop includes a short talk-like intoduction to Maubot and how bots work on Matrix.
We will have a quick look at the bots we created for the Ubuntu community so far.
Then we setup a Python virtual environment to create or first "Hello world" bot.
Next steps are to add some custom functionality to that bot.
The rest of the time will be dedicated to helping poeple with questions and maybe discuss your own ideas for bots and how to implement it.
Things you should bring to the workshop:
- Laptop
- VSCodium / Visual Studio Code (recommended) or any other Python editor
- Basic Python skills
- Basic knowledge of Matrix
- A Matrix account for yourself is required and a second account for the bot you want to create is recommended.
To get a Matrix account see this list of servers.
Ubuntu members and Canonical employees please see the onboarding instructions.
You can join our Matrix room if you have any questions or suggestions. You can also find the latest workshop materials in the room.
