@patcon Is it possible to make the translation part a plugin or module? Where can I find your repo? I want to learn more about it.
I think a good sharing infra should be easy to understand and easy to replace.
My attempt to build a all-in-one site for logs is a failure.
I don't think matterbridge has a plugin system, but it can be pretty isolated, I feel. And I live you logbot! But it could work generally from the matter bridge api.

Hey @pm5, I'm down to do a call whenever you have time to discuss this: https://twitter.com/patconnolly/status/1109931129723711493
Also, this is a convo among a few meetup groups in Toronto, which we could do more widely as a solidarity-building tactic :)

@patcon the preferred bot name can be `/slack.*bot.*/`, so https://logbot.g0v.tw/channel/g0v.tw/today can identify they as a bot.
After that I will stop the current logbot.
@patcon Pick a date. I’m free to make a call after 19:00GMT+8 after next monday.

@patcon ping?
ok, let's try this again: how about I get your email (assuming you use gcal), and then I'll invite you to a few 9am ET options for days this week (9pm TT), and you can just accept the one your want and decline the others? (i keep dropping the ball on this bc i'm not in the g0v slack much these days, but i'll DEF see my google calendar every day)
(my gmail is patrick.c.connolly@gmail.com)
(my gmail is patrick.c.connolly@gmail.com)
My email is caasi.igd@gmail.com. I will see my calendar every day too.

@patcon: telegram bridge is running by @gugod.
I am not going to replace all logbot services right now.
ok, so i'm just updating the readme here so that there is a bit more explanation of what this repo's configuration file is doing that is g0v-specific 🙂
https://github.com/patcon/matterbridge-heroku
https://github.com/patcon/matterbridge-heroku
A Heroku buildpack to help bridge chat tools like Slack. - patcon/matterbridge-heroku
I just want to retire the slack-irc-bridge because it’s a speed hack by @yhsiang++ and it’s hard to maintain now.
Here is the repo: https://github.com/g0v/slack-irc-plugin
Slack plugin to sync IRC with your <http://slack.com|slack.com> account - g0v/slack-irc-plugin
to check if it transform your bot name correctly
Because I don’t own the logbot machine myself. If you want to running your matterbridge on it. You may have to ask @au for the access right. After she nod, I can create an account for you.

re: chat bridge migration to matterbridge (to keep things in thread)
i think it's working, but just finding an irc client to install on this new mac, and I'll doublecheck
Ok I’ll tweak logbot frontend to match the new format
can you remove the `@slack-legacy` suffix so messages
will be more readable to irc users.
surround slack usernames with other symbol maybe a good idea
actually, @slack-legacy is what tells people where the message in coming from, though it's redundant here -- it's set on the level of the IRC service, and since I'm using that in another non-g0v gateway, it's where it would say "caasi@telegram", which is important in my other gateways. There's def a way to fix it, but it admittedly serves a purpose elsewhere. would it be ok to leave for now?
I am ok with that. 😄
The format will always be NICK@PROTOCOL for now (and protocol is actually the name of the adapter for the protocol, which is "slack-legacy" here)
@caasi are the empty messages the issue you were referring to originally, or was there something else? (i can only see the ones from my tests)
they seem to only happen frame translation channels, i think
actually nm. seems all messages get two blanks before. investigating logs now: https://gist.github.com/patcon/cf4c2fc29dfc188fd320bc43c905d5c2
It’s it possible to not emit those empty messages?
@patcon++
AH. ok, it's the user_typing events that are going through! ok, this should be easy. was prob fixed on mainline and we're just outta date
https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/issues/814
seems a little bigger than expected. perhaps best to just disable user_typing events on matterbridge for g0v-tw team for now.

ok disabled for now.
also, this might be different functionality: when a messages is editted on slack, it sends the new text of the message through again to IRC. but on our fork, it doesn't really make it clear, and so it might look like someone repeating themselves (perhaps passive-agressively)
i think there's a better fix in the mainline (where the editted message is prefixed with "edit:"), but rebasing is more than I have the space to do today...!

@caasi and I were connecting in #infras to sunset <https://github.com/g0v/slack-irc-plugin> Will merge when the testing is finalized.

looks ok, but just fyi that this will be brittle for if/when telegram bridging is enabled for matterbridge because the same NICK will be dropping telegram messages, and so it'll make sense to rename it to `g0v-matterbridge` or `g0v-bridge` (instead of `g0v-slack`)
we could just use a more universal name now, and so it won't need changing later?
@caasi thoughts?
maybe `g0v-bridgebot`? (since ppl don't really need to know the name of matterbridge software, i suppose)
upvote for g0v-bridge
ok one sec
I hope the name can be as short as possible
[TTT] looks like a bridge (not 😂
hm. ok, lemme check about shortening that other bit `@slack-legacy`. I think i can do a work-around, though might be more brittle later
i wonder if 🌉 would work...
slack-legacy is fine for now it should be set in a config file or environment variables

you can only use ASCII characters in IRC nick name 😂
ah true say. perhaps futuuuuuurrrre https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/issues/259
ah true say. perhaps futuuuuuurrrre https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/issues/259
RFC 1459 only allows ASCII letters, numerals and some special characters in Nicknames, leaving people from non-anglophone countries at a disadvantage. Using the wealth of human writing is possible ...

So [o_o] can be a funny bot name 😂
heh just lemme know if you want that 🙂
i admit that I usually prefer explicit text stuff that's self-documenting (esp for non-tech ppl who might arrive), but it's a little different for IRC users who we could assume are super tech-savvy 🙂

omg it's late for you
omg it’s late for me 🙀
Some of my friends are stick with IRC and have no Slack account here.
and i toooootally support people using whatever tools they feel like 🙂
So I don’t want to mess-up the IRC-side too much.
yes yes me too. i'm glad to do this with you!
let me know if anything goes funny
oh, one last thing -- how did file attachments work before?
file attachments got ignored totally before 😂
- 🎉1
so it’s a great improvement
oh hey, we can have a default avatar for messages from IRC. any suggestions?
I will check IRC ACTIONs later. maybe tomorrow.
note that those file links will only work for logged in ppl, so they'll still feel pressure to sign up for slack 🙂
can matterbridge get a public mail address by user id?
public mail address? as in for private messaging?
and sorry, where would this public mail address come from? from slack?
if it’s possible to look up Gravatar for thumbnails.
OH. does IRC have email attached? didn't even know
guess Slack username from IRC nick and then search for it’s thumb
for now, that's not doable, but it could be added
I don’t have any specific icon in my mind
right now, it can generate a unique identicon from a nick
i thought i had this enabled here:
https://github.com/patcon/matterbridge-heroku/blob/master/config/config-heroku-template.toml#L10
so might need to investigate why messages coming from IRC aren't being given an avatar...

ah actually, figured it out... i have underscores in my IRC nick, and github's identicon service doesn't like that: https://github.com/identicons/patcon___.png
good reason to switch to robohash: https://robohash.org/patcon___.png
and they have cats in set4!
haha i didn't even realize there were sets...! wanna use that?
YES! YES! YES!
I have to sleep. Thank you for everything. @patcon++
haha no worries! sleeeeeep well @caasi!
