+											<h2>NewPipe e.V. hires contributor Profpatsch for NewPipe development</h2>
+											<h3>03.12.2024</h3>
+										</header>
+										<p>
+										We have an exciting announcement to share, made possible by your amazing financial support!
+										</p>
+										<p>
+										Proudly, NewPipe e.V. is investing your donations into
+										what is most meaningful to the NewPipe project: paid development time.
+										After we temporarily hired schabi this summer from July through September
+										(as reported on
+										<a href="https://newpipe.net/blog/pinned/announcement/schabi-contract/">the NewPipe website</a>)
+										and extended his contract
+										until October, schabi can no longer offer us his services due to taking on a full-time
+										job. He already made some impressive progress on rewriting and improving the core player component
+										of the app, dubbed
+										<a href="https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPlayer">NewPlayer</a>; now, to ensure his
+										work not to become stale, somebody
+										needed to take over where he left off.
+										</p>
+										<p>
+										Thus, the e.V. reached out to members of NewPipe's contributor community
+										in search of new independent contractors that would take our offer of a flexible opportunity to
+										work on NewPipe.
+										With a gap of less than a month, the e.V. was now able
+										to hire Profpatsch, TeamNewPipe member and independent software developer, who says,	
+										"I'm happy to
+										continue schabi's work on NewPlayer,
+										helping out with reviewing and the refactor."</p>
+
+										<p>
+										We hope you are as glad about this news as we are.
+										NewPipe e.V. has committed to working with Profpatsch for the timespan of three months,
+										with the perspective of a longer-term arrangement.
+										For this, continue to rely on your donations to help drive NewPipe forward; please consider
+										a <a href="../donate.html">donation</a>
+										such that we can keep funding this and further contracts for the benefit of the project.
+										</p>
+
+										<p>
+										Yours Sincerely,<br/>
+										the NewPipe e.V. board.
