How to write a Matrix bot with Maubot
summary
Hands-on steps for a working Matrix bot: create a Python virtualenv, install Maubot, register a second Matrix account for the bot, deploy a plugin and start an instance via the web UI; the workshop builds a Hello world command, a weather command calling an external JSON API (wttr) and Ubottu features: RSS, package version lookups and a time query. It also shows flood protection and image redaction using an external classifier; the demo mostly works with small config fixes.
