Automate the creation of weekly sync notes

[daviddias]

Can we get this -- ipfs/js-ipfs#1179 -- automated?

[victorb]

I think at this point we need a general tool to schedule "every X days, create a issue from Y.md in Z repository", as it's not just one place anymore.

Hi @victorbjelkholm, @travisperson,

Can we get this done soon? I keep having to set a reminder and do it manually every week.

[travisperson]

@victorbjelkholm is this issue covered by the work you did recently to revive the ipfs-helper bot?

[victorb]

Yeah, I haven't automated the js-ipfs weekly meetings yet, only ipfs-all-hands so far, so let's keep this open.

@diasdavid can you give me the values of the following files:

SPRINT_HELPER_REPOSITORY decides which repository the issue should be created at
SPRINT_HELPER_CRYPTPAD_TEMPLATE decides which template to use for the cryptpad
SPRINT_HELPER_FACILITATORS_FILE decides which JSON file to grab facilitators from
SPRINT_HELPER_ISSUE_TITLE decides the title of the issue
SPRINT_HELPER_ISSUE_TEMPLATE decides which template to use for creating the issue

You can see the example values for the IPFS all-hands here: https://github.com/ipfs/sprint-helper#configuration-environment-variables

• SPRINT_HELPER_REPOSITORY - https://github.com/ipfs/pm/
• SPRINT_HELPER_CRYPTPAD_TEMPLATE - https://github.com/ipfs/pm/blob/master/templates/JS-IPFS-CORE-WEEKLY.md
• SPRINT_HELPER_FACILITATORS_FILE - I'm always the lead and when I'm unavailable I request someone
• SPRINT_HELPER_ISSUE_TITLE - ⒿⓈ⚡️ js-ipfs Core Dev Team Weekly <Month> <Day>, <Year>
• SPRINT_HELPER_ISSUE_TEMPLATE - You can grab the template from ⒿⓈ⚡️ js-ipfs Dev Team Weekly Sync 🙌🏽 ipfs/js-ipfs#1179

@victorbjelkholm do you need more people to make the tests automated?

[victorb]

Making clear the reasons why this stopped being developed. Took long time to have everything working, so we temporary moved to Google Docs. When that move happened, bunch of people took liking to using Google Docs, and now we're unsure if we want to move away from it back to HackMD/Cryptpad.
