We are nearing the end of 2023, 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 1775subscribers at the time of writing this post, which is an increase of 380 subscribers compared to last year. This year I also started a collaboration with Florian Böhme,Lucas Heckmann, Jean-Hervé Poisson & Badia Dandana resulting in two excellent articles that were very well received. Watch out for more next year!
Next to the newsletter in 2023 I also published my first book: The Essential Guide to Part Re-Identification. Currently rated at 4.6 stars on Amazon. I have received a lot of positive feedback. Thank you all.
The most recent feedback is from Dylan Neal on Amazon (Thank you Dylan):

Wow what a year.

So stay tuned for more great stuff in 2024. Again this year I 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.
