We are nearing the end of 2022, so it is time to reflect on and recognize our achievements. On 10 January 2022, I started with a monthly newsletter, The Future of CM, which reached 1395 subscribers at the time of writing this post, which is way more than I expected to get when I started.

In summary
These numbers are beyond what I expected. I hope to bring more great articles in 2023. I also had the chance to engage with many of you, sometimes even via online meetings, which gave me a lot of new insights and inspiration for future materials. Last but not least, I would like to thank all my readers, commenters, subscribers, followers, and connections who helped me share the importance of Configuration Management and joined me on the journey of unraveling the future of CM.
Please keep liking, commenting, and reposting my articles so we can elevate Configuration Management, as it is often underappreciated.
