PyPastry and Telegram bot

In this event we will host two sprints:

• PyPastry, a machine learning framework
• A Telegram bot, for our new channel

The PyPastry sprint will be lead by Daoud, its author, and we will work on different issues:

• Add new features
• Improve the test suite
• Add typing
• Create packages
• Set up the CI
• Improve the documentation
• …

For the Telegram bot, we will create a bot to help us with our new channel. Any idea is welcome, but some of the things we can work on are:

• Implement a /next-event command, to get the link to the next scheduled event
• Implement a /next-event-location to get the geolocation of the event
• Implement a NLP system able to identify spam, rude or abusive messages, commercial messages like job postings… and automatically block people in the channel posting those
• …
