Is it worth going to the canteen today? SlackBot for Spring Media #general

The Munch-Bot

A tiny Lambda Function (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/welcome.html) that parses the html of the Paparazzi-Menu of the day (https://pace.berlin/) and posts it into our #essen_berlin slack-channel. The execution of the Lambda is triggered via a daily Cloudwatch event at 11:00 a.m.
