Dot Net North is a user group based in Manchester in the UK. We put on free monthly events for developers to learn new skills and network. We're always on the lookout for new ways to promote our user group and keep existing members in the loop.
I've got a bunch of Echo Dots in my home, and have had numerous discussions in the user group about them, so I thought it would be cool to build a skill that keeps people in the loop about our upcoming events.
You can ask the skill for information about the next event including it's topic, where it is, and where to get tickets. The skill will respond with the most up to date information and send additional content to the Alexa app.
In the future I plan to extend it to get details about future events "Alexa, ask Dot Net North to tell me about events in December" by integrating it with the Meetup API as well as answer frequently asked questions.
As a bonus, you can ask the skill to tell you about our alpaca logo...
You can give it a go here
