Code & Community: The Synergy of Community Building and Task Automation
summary
A working automated megaphone that posts PyLadies content to BlueSky and Mastodon, draws from an RSS-maintained registry, and uses GitHub Actions to run a cron job every two days; it already has ~1,400 followers and ~850 posts. Summaries come from Google's Gemini (started on Gemini 1.5) via the Gemini API, safety filters use Perspective-style checks, setup takes about 30 minutes for integration, and current support covers blog posts and YouTube with plans for podcasts and open-source projects.
