Say It With Bots!

Welcoming Contributions to Your Project

In this workshop we’ll be building a GitHub bot that will greet contributors to your project. The bot will be built as a GitHub App which can then be installed to your GitHub repositories.

We will be building a GitHub bot that can:

  • say thanks to the maintainer who installed your bot
  • say thanks to new contributors who made pull requests to your repository

About me

My name is Mariatta. I live in Vancouver, Canada where I work as a Software Engineer for Zapier. In my free time, I help organize Vancouver PyLadies, PyCascades conference, and contribute to open source.

I’m a Python Core Developer. I help maintain Core Python’s GitHub bots: bedevere and miss-islington.

We’ll be using the same tools and technologies used by Core Python’s team to build their bots.
