Hello everybody,
it's the first time I write in English, so please send me language corrections in the comments.
However, in today's post I am going to tell you about the Israeli Ubuntu LoCo's IRC bot, Hoborg.
Two months ago, Ddorda posted a post about the bot named "Great Hoborg is under control". This month, I started to develop a new version of Hoborg. Because the previous bot was very slow, I prefered to use the Twisted Python network engine. After some tests of the bot, I can see that this decision was great, because it saved many lines of socket code and it also made Hoborg really fast 
.
In this month's meeting, we used it instead of the old bot. I didn't have time for debugging it, so the polls did not reset, but after the meeting we fixed it(and thank's to Moshe Nachmias for fixing the text output and uploading it to the Wiki).
After that, I worked on additional features, such as adding commands that return only text and commands that return very useful links, adding multiple-choices polls, adding search command in Google Israel, and finally adding a web-based control panel base (We will release our offical control panel sperately after we'll end it).
Now we are going to add HTML logging, plugin system, and some additional functions to make it a full-time bot and to allow it to replace the French bot, uBOTu-fr.
Also, El'ad told me that he plans to replace his logging bot, Logically, with Hoborg in the ##linux-il channel.
If you want to get the source code of Hoborg, you can by cloning our offical git repository.
Hope you will enjoy our work,
Li'el (and the other developers of Hoborg)
