Hoborg is the IRC bot of the Israeli Loco in #Ubuntu-IL. Hoborg was built by Shualdon in a mission to make the LoCo meeting more controlled and organized.
Hoborg is under a continuous development, and it's open-sourced.
You can help develop Hoborg in its Lanchpad

Loco Meeting

Hoborg has a few options that makes the LoCo meeting more organized:

• Logging
• Topic management
• Voting system
• Meeting BBCode summarization for the forums.

Logging

The meeting leader starts the meeting by typing !loggon.
When the meeting is finished, the meeting leader types !loggoff.
When the logging is ended, the bot creates a file containing the meeting summarization using BBCode.

Meeting Topics

After the logging has started, the meeting leader now can set topics by typing !topic <TOPIC>.
After the discussion on the topic has finish, the meeting leader can now close the topic by typing !decide <DECISION>.

Voting

After a topic has been set, sometimes there are topics that need to be voted on. The meeting leader can use two types of polls. However, the meeting leader can't open a new poll while there is a poll in process.

Yes/No/Avoid Poll

• This poll is perfect to see if the members are against, in favor or don't have an opinion on a certain topic.
  The meeting leader can set this poll by typing !pollon <TOPIC>, and the members can vote by typing !yes, !no or !avoid.
  After everyone voted, the meeting leader can close the poll by typing !polloff.

Multiple Options Poll

• If there is a need for a more complex poll, like choosing the next LoCo leader from a list of participants, the multiple option poll is due.
  The meeting leader can set this poll by typing !multipollon <NUM> <OPT1>,<OPT2>,<OPT3>....
  <NUM> is the number of options a member can choose.
  <OPT#> are the options. There can be unlimited number of options, but they has to be separated with a comma.
  The members can vote by typing !vote <#> <#> ....
  <#> is the number of the option the member chose. A member can choose as much as the meeting leader set <NUM>, and has to be separated with a space.
  After everyone voted, the meeting leader can close the poll by typing !multipolloff.

For both poll types, the !score command can be used to view the current poll score.
