meeting_minutes

Create meeting agendas and minutes based on issues in a GitHub repository

Background

We (4 collaborators) run regular zoom meetings to discuss issues and plan activities related to our current project. We want to generate minutes of the meeting to capture results of the discussion.

This project

Create a Python program that will generate Meeting Minutes as a PDF for distribution to all collaborators.

Usage

./generate_minutes.py -p my_project_url -d 25/10/2020 --actionLabel Action --output myProject_2020_10_25_minutes.pdf

The program will search all issues with Action label and list the comments dated 25/10/2020. The output will be written to a PDF myProject_2020_10_25_minutes.pdf

Routine agendas

Here is an idea for creating agendas

enter each agenda topic as a GitHub issue, label it as Agenda Item
prepend 00, 01, 02 to the title of each issue to allow the desired ordering of the agenda items
immediately close each issue so as not to pollute your list of "real" issues
produce your agenda PDF using ./generate_agenda.py

Resources to use

The project will be built using:

Python3 programming languague
PyGitub to access issues in the GitHub repository
pyFPDF to create the PDF file

Project status

Just an idea at this stage
