#DjangonautSpace

I just realized that my short reflection on my journey through space with @djangonaut is part of this week’s issue.

I wasn’t expecting this.

I’m very grateful for the opportunity and the experience.

I recommend #djangonautspace to anyone interested in contributing to Django.

I wrote a short post about the #djangonautspace that wrapped last week.

It was a humbling but rewarding experience and I would like to thank the organizers @djangonaut , the navigator of team Jupiter @thibaudcolas and my teammates Collins, Lupyana and Rahul.
