A Tool for the Definition and Deployment of Platform-Independent Bots on Open Source Projects

Explore a 19-minute video presentation from the SLE 2023 conference that introduces a novel tool for defining and deploying platform-independent bots in Open Source Software (OSS) projects. Learn about the challenges faced by OSS communities in maintaining active developer participation and how this tool aims to address them. Discover the features of a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that enables the creation of versatile bots capable of operating across multiple platforms and responding to various events such as issue creation or pull requests. Gain insights into how these bots can extend beyond automation tasks to enhance social interactions within the community. Examine the tool's design, implementation, and practical applications through illustrative examples provided by the presenters from the Open University of Catalonia and the University of Luxembourg.
