[group-organizers] Script to announce events

[Éric Araujo]

Hello everyone,

I’m a Python core developer and a member of the Montréal-Python
organization team.  I heard about this list at PyCon Canada thanks to
Jessica McKellar and I just subscribed.  I’m looking forward to discuss
about community building and learn things!

In this first message, I would like to ask if any of you are using some
tool to automate sending announcements to various systems.  For our
monthly meetings, we end up doing these things manually:
- send bilingual email to our mailing list
- add markup to that text, remove greetings and publish it to our blog
as two posts
- post a short blurb with a link on our LinkedIn group
- post a short blurb with a link on our Facebook page
- post a shorter blurb and link on our Twitter account
- update our Google calendar
- update Free Software calendar (a website)

I’m sure other user groups do something similar.  Do you automate these
tasks, and if yes, using what tool?

Thanks!
