This repository contains a script and associated GitHub Action to automate the posting of open hours for the Red Mountain Makers on Discord. It uses the "RMM-Helper" discord bot as a user

Overview

1. discord_open_hours_posting.py: This Python script is responsible for generating and posting events on Discord for the open hours of Red Mountain Makers. The script uses the discord.py library to interact with Discord and aiohttp to make HTTP requests. The events are scheduled for Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
