So you have plants at your workplace. Perhaps you hold common meals on fridays and there's dishes to be cleaned, remains to be stuffed with. Maybe you lack a cleaning lady, and one of you has to do all the work. Every time.
Perhaps you decide to take turns in waterning the plants, cleaning the shit up, and taking care of similar chores. Perhaps you shift duties every other week, keeping the chiefs in an online collaborative spreadsheet.
Rawzica can parse that (CSV) spreadsheet and send configurable daily email reminders.
To install on a POSIX-compatible system:
pip install git+https://github.com/biolab/rawzica.git
If your /etc/crontab doesn't already periodically (i.e. daily) invoke the scripts in /etc/cron.daily/ (as is probably the case in Mac OS X), you may need to set it so that it does.
Configure rawzica in /etc/rawzica.conf. That's it.
Say you have a direct URL to a CSV spreadsheet (Google Sheets work well if you use the export/download URL) in the following format:
t date,name,email,chore
-12-10 ,Ann,a@acme.com,wash the dishes
-12-24 ,Bill,b@acme.com,sit on the couch all day long
-01-08,Cindy,c@acme.com,bring male coworkers beer
-01-22 ,Dave,d@acme.com,make up more shit for Ann to do
Basically, the spreadsheet is populated with chores you and your coworkers
agree upon. The start date field and the email field are mandatory,
although they may be called otherwise, others are optional, dependent on the
email template you use.
Say also you have the following email.template, which adheres to Python's
str.format() specification:
{name}!
s it going, {name}?
your turn this week to {chore}.
y it, {name}.
beloved coworkers,
Now, you can configure rawzica with the following /etc/rawzica.conf file:
ault]
= https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/Your_GDocs_Sheet_Key/export?format=csv&gid=0
_format = %Y-%m-%d
_fields]
t_date = start date
_to = email
p]
= insecure-smtp.acme.com
_from = rawzica@acme.com
plate]
ay = /path/to/rawzica/template/email.template
ay_subject = rawzica chore notification
In the above case, email notifications will be sent out only on mondays. You can have different notifications for different days of the week. See the configuration file for more information.
If it's Monday, you can test the setup by running on the command line:
