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
