EU Activity Reporter

This parses information obtained from parltrack dumps and uses it to generate reports of events/discussions of interest to the FSFE.

It can be configured using the in repo config.toml.

For development, a .env file fulfilling the required arguments is needed. Additionally, one should specify ones email using the --email flag, to avoid spamming mail receivers. The --email flag overrides any emails provided by config.toml.

A command such as bash -c 'source .env && python3 ./eu-activity-reporter.py $SMTP_URL $LDAP_USERNAME $LDAP_PASSWORD $EXTRA_FLAGS' is a useful way to run the script.
