Hi all, I posted on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6886579438234984448/ and Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChristoferDutz/status/1480814492959350787 what's happening.
Feel free to share. Short story is that in 2021 I have seen quite a drop in contributions in the project here while it felt like the number of users and support requests increased quite a bit. In parallel after leaving codecentric and now working in full employment for Mapped, I had to do all of this after my day-job. At the end of 2021 this really made me burn out. Also did I have some trouble in 2021 with the German tax officials as I was running my side-business at a deficit in 2020 and it didn't look much better in 2021. This added to the list of things that were worrying me. So, I decided to change my mode of contribution. Therefore, I will continue to work on PLC4X as my job at Mapped needs this or if I simply want to try something or if someone pays me for it. I am also trying something new: Crowdfunding: Here I list different initiatives of Feature-Development which I would be working on if financing them is dealt with. https://c-ware.de/en/cf-listing-page/ However, I will no longer be working through the weekend to address any issues someone else needs fixed to have his job done. I will also continue doing my VP duties and participate in our monthly calls and technical discussions and continue to help people address issues themselves. Just wanted to folks to know. Chris
