Standup meeting Telegram bot

Telegram Bot to perform daily standup meetings for each group (or team), the bot is added to.

For now the bot implements a single command /standup, which prompts the user with the 3 standup meeting questions

• What did you do yesterday?
• What will you do today?
• Do you have any obstacles for your progress?

For now all bot messages are in Spanish, although internationalization is planned.
