My bot ALEXA: from news-update to reading mail

Amazons software for bot Alexa is ported to Raspberry Pi. It is a nice experience asking for the news (BBC or NYTimes), listen to the emails I just received.

Installing is a piece of cake.
Here is the recipe: How to Build Your Own Amazon Echo with a Raspberry Pi .
Two problems after installing:
- I cannot get the wakewordagent working; it means that instead of yelling ALEXA... I now have to push the button 'listen' to start my question.
- of course you want to use your local settings; here is howto: Using outside the US . 
  The time zone can be set, but not the location; it does accept only US, GB and DE zip codes. I am stick with Dusseldorf weather.
