[group-organizers] Script to announce events

[Mathieu Leduc-Hamel]

Hi Tim, Talking about Pelican, we, Montreal-Python, are switching also from
wordpress to Pelican and we'll quite certainly tried to do something to
post stuff on different services. Do you already have something done ?

We'll work on it tonight probably cause it's our first Project Night or
like it seems to be called Pnight.

Thanks :)

Mathieu
