have a greeter bot on slack instance

[tansaku]

codebuddies have one of these - just an automated welcome DM on their slack instance, that tells' people about the community and how to get involved

[tansaku]

seems like we can do that with following code:

controller.on('team_joined',function(bot, message) {
    bot.reply(message, 'Welcome aboard!');
});

added to https://github.com/AgileVentures/async_slack_bot

perhaps we should get this bot deployed to heroku, drie or AWS?

This bot could lead new users through a series of steps and reward them with "agility" points 💰

1. Introduce yourself on #new_members.
2. See Help Wanted projects/tasks for this month.
3. Shorter version of http://www.agileventures.org/getting-started

@arreche great suggestions - I have the bot deployed on AWS and greeting folks ATM with the following:

Welcome and great to have you with us! Please do introduce yourself in #new_members (if you haven't already), and if you have any general technical thoughts/issues/questions please ask in #techtalk - #random is for everything else 🙂

see https://github.com/AgileVentures/AgileVentures/blob/master/JOINING_A_PROJECT.md for more on joining a project

maybe make some other tickets for extending - (agility points) - or carry on chatting here - either way :-)
