Lino becoming big

There are so many exciting and important meetings happening during my stay here in Eupen! I met with Olivier, Elmar, Daniel (and his coleagues), Annabell, Sandra and her colleagues, Ellie, Paul, Alexa…

Lino is on the threshold of becoming a framework for delivering free database applications also to bigger customers. We have done quite some work on our way from a “family-sized” to an “industry-standard” deployment process. Many doors are open. I asked several people to pray for Lino and our little community and for me as their current shepherd: May God help me to do the right decisions about my precise role in all this is, and to meet the right people as advisors, and that the right people may join the project.

Several impulses came in return:

• Private meetings with Bruno, Thierry and Jörg.

• Despite all business duties I managed to find time to translate a prayer for the beatification of archbishop Eduard Profittlich from Estonian to German.

• I was invited to an event Aufrecht im Gegenwind in Berlin. I won’t be able to participate, but perceive the invitation itself as an encouragement.

• I stumbled over Valentino Gagliardi’s tutorial Django REST with React (Django 2.0 and a sprinkle of testing) and its equivalent Building Web Applications with Django and AngularJS by James Brewer on Thinkster
