As I wrote in 2022, in my article Your free trial of open-source has expired, I have stopped providing free community support for Apache PLC4X in my free time.

I didn’t stop working on features, new drivers, doing the house-keeping and mentoring possible new contributors.

However, I had to do this in my free time, and I am feeling how it’s burning me out. So, I’ve decided to stop working on PLC4X completely in my free time.

My current employer grants be 4 hours per week, and I will use that time to continue working on PLC4X, but this will limit my involvement to Friday afternoons.

If the industry needs help or wants anything to happen, they can either do it themselves, find someone who’s able and willing to do it for them or hire me via Timecho and pay for development. For small things you can drop me a donation (See list of links at the end of the article).

Long version with loads of background infos in the link.
