Working

Birdman works by asking the user for relevant data for publishing for eg. meetup link, poster link, meetup theme, talks etc. and outputs it as a template and shares the output to all social media networks wherever required.

  $ birdman 
  Venue Decided(y/n):
  Meetup Link:
  Poster Link:
  Telegram Username:
  Talks Decided (y/n):

A sample Output will look like this:

  Processing ↑ (saving to .birdman/<date>/meetup.txt)
  
  Join us for the next ILUG-D Meetup on <Date/Time> at <Venue> 
  Event Page :<Meetup Link>

  Would you like to edit this ? (y/n)

If talks are not decided the CFP email to the mailing list and twitter will look like this. Issues labeled as not delivered will also be pingd using the Github API

  
  Processing ↑ saving to .birdman/<date>/meetup.txt

  Call for Proposal is open for the next next ILUG-D Meetup on <Date/Time>. Raise an Issue at https://github.com/ILUGD/talks.
