Gitter interaction

I did a short spike on this locally trying to use Gitter's IRC bridge and the cinch gem and it was really simple to get started. However, I ran into this issue (https://github.com/gitterHQ/irc-bridge/pull/54), and until that's in, I couldn't get the bot to actually reply. So, this is a placeholder for myself once I get back to it.

Launching it is as simple as putting it in the Procfile.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'cinch'

bot = Cinch::Bot.new do
  configure do |c|
    c.server = "irc.gitter.im"
    c.ssl.use = true
    c.nick = "miq-bot"
    c.password = '' #REDACTED
    c.channels = [
      "#manageiq/manageiq",
      "#manageiq/miq_bot"
    ]
  end

  on :message, "hello" do |m|
    m.reply "Hello, #{m.user.nick}"
  end
end

bot.start

Once we have IRC interaction, some possible follow up RFEs would be

• Allowing some of the commands we use in the GithubNotificationMonitor to be reused in Gitter (requires separation of GithubNotificationMonitor's reaction/reply half)
• New commands for chat only
  • @miq-bot status could be queue statistics or something
  • @miq-bot gif <keywords> and it will search @chrisarcand's gif list ;) 😜
• Watching #manageiq on IRC, then pinging the Gitter channel that there is activity over there
• Watching #manageiq on IRC, then pinging IRC that chat no longer occurs there and instructions to go to Gitter if they choose
