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!

#Notice: 48 hours since our colleague Million Beyene disappeared without a trace.
Addis Abeba - Forty-eight hours after he was taken, the whereabouts of #Million_Beyene, Managing Editor of Addis Standard, remain unknown.
The #newsroom has learned that his phone was briefly active at around 10:00 p.m. last night before going silent again, raising further concern about his safety and condition.
His family and colleagues are enduring growing distress.
JAKENN Publishing PLC renews its urgent call for his safe and immediate return, and urges the relevant authorities, including the Addis Ababa Police and the Federal Police Commission, to act without delay to establish his whereabouts.
We also call on the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (#EHRC) to investigate this apparent enforced disappearance and ensure accountability.
