Its version is {{ version }}!\n            \n            See {{ changelog }} for details.\n            \n            Give us some time and you will automatically find the plugin on #Bioconda and #Pypi.\n            \n            If you want to discuss the release you will find the maintainers here on Mastodon!\n            @rupdecat and @johanneskoester\n            \n            If you find any issues, please report them on {{ issue_url }}\n```\n\n### Step 2: Adapt the message\n\nWe recomment using a message format like this - the example above is from the executor plugin for SLURM. For your messages, you will need to adapt the description:\n\n```\nBeep, Beep - I am your friendly #Snakemake release announcement bot.\n\nThere is a new release of the Snakemake executor for \u003cyour description\u003e. Its version is {{ version }}!\n\nSee {{ changelog }} for details.\n\nGive us some time and you will automatically find the plugin on #Bioconda and #Pypi.\n\nIf you want to discuss the release you will find the maintainers here on Mastodon!\n\u003cmaintainer handles on Moston or indicate BS bridges\u003e\n\nIf you find any issues, please report them on {{ issue_url }} .\n\n#OpenScience #ReproducibleComputing #\n```\n\nYou may deviate from this template. Please be sure to mention that this is\n- a message of the Snakemake announcement bot and not a message created by humans\n- use the available variables\n- indicate contact handles\n- to improve visibility to the intended audiences, you might want to add hashtags","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsnakemake%2Fmastodon-release-post-action","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsnakemake%2Fmastodon-release-post-action","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsnakemake%2Fmastodon-release-post-action/lists"}
