The v13 release is not just a release either, it is also our official announcement of participation in the annual #hacktoberfest. 💻🥨
We know that we're a few days late to the party, but v13 had to get ready before. 😉
This year, the fest is opt-in for projects and we definitely want to opt into taking part in this great event! If you ever thought about starting coding or giving back to your favourite open source repositories, now is the time! Head over to the hacktoberfest website to learn more about it.
We already prepared some issues on our repositories and aim towards opening more issues for starters, but feel free to begin a hunt for improvements and fixes by yourself!

📷 NEWS | Chavismo and Opposition Urge Voters to Participate in Final Campaign Push Ahead of Municipal Elections
On Sunday, Venezuelans will elect 335 mayors and 2,471 municipal councillors. The vote marks the culmination of Venezuela’s electoral cycle, following last year’s presidential election and the recent legislative and regional races, both of which yielded favourable outcomes for the ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV) and allied organizations.
Chavismo and opposition candidates wrapped up the 14-day campaign on Thursday with large rallies nationwide. Currently, two-thirds of the country's 335 municipalities are under Socialist control, while opposition factions hold over 100 mayoralties.
