Last night with a great group of Djangonauts we took a short walk in the center of Durham and had dinner together with proper southern food 🇺🇲

It was a wonderful evening and the dinner was delicious 😋

Thanks @wsvincent for the picture 🤗

I spent the first hours of my summer holidays as I love: walking on the high peaks of the Gran Sasso, in the Italian Apennines ⛰️🇮🇹

The alarm went off really early and the fresh wind blew non-stop, but it was worth it 🧗✨

Today January 31st is the birthday of Guido van Rossum creator of the Python programming language for which he was the benevolent dictator for life 🎉

“Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another’s code; too little and expressiveness is endangered”

Thank you for your contribution to the FOSS community and Happy Birthday 🎂
