This is a super simple slackbot to run standups. Run it on a cron, like:

30 10 * * 1-5 /bin/bash -c 'path/to/standupbot -slack-token=xoxb-0000000000-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy -channel=myproject 2>&1 | logger'

How a standup works:

• The bot says "Hello @channel, it's ​standup time​. I'll call on each of you one at a time. When you are done with your update, send a message containing a single period . and we'll move on to the next person. If I call on someone who is not here, say . and I will move on.
• For each person in the channel (or each person listed if you specify -users on the command line), it asks them "@alice, what have you got for us?". When anyone types a period (.) in a message by itself, the bot moves on.
