Announcing a Bug BBQ (Blog post template)

The Carpentries is preparing to publish {{ lesson list }} on Zenodo in {{ month(s) }}. This will be the first publication for our new {{ new lesson list }} lessons. We regularly publish our lessons to provide stable identifiers for polished versions of the lessons. This enables referenced discussions of the lesson materials and gives contributors a verifiable product to cite on their CVs or resumes.

This release will include the following lessons: {{ bulleted list of lessons, for Data Carpentry lessons, link to the workshop home page instead of individual repos }}.

If you’ve made a contribution to one of these lessons, you’re already an author. Help make sure the final product is polished and complete by getting involved in the lesson release.
