Buzzer As A Service: Postmortem

02 Nov 2014

For my second project in AdvFOSS I decided to work on Buzzer as a Service

Buzzer as a Service is hosted on PyPi and currently scans a specified IRC channel for messages that contain the string 'buzzer' or any string with a 'b' followed by at least one 'z' and ending with a 't'.

There is also extension support for Buzzer as a Service where users just make a package that lives within the buzzer_as_a_service package. All plugins are automatically loaded and executed upon a buzzer call. I have already implemented one sample plugin buzzerasa_service.message. This plugin just displays the message, user, and channel that was buzzed.
