Hi Chris, Great to hear that you're back from your sabbatical and ready to dive back into work! It's impressive that you've managed to take some time off and still maintain your focus on IT-OT integration.
I'm glad to hear that you're planning to contribute to PLC4Rust and streamline our address format. Those are both crucial areas that will benefit greatly from your expertise. Regarding your other projects—improving your UI tool, developing a new S7Comm Plus Driver, creating a new SPI, and rewriting the ADS Driver—it sounds like you have a lot of exciting work ahead. As for my current capacity, I'm still contributing to the project but unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth for programming tasks at the moment. However, I'm more than happy to help with documentation or any other non-programming tasks like posting on LinkedIn :-). It's a bit quiet around here, that is why I keep posting to attract developers... If anyone else is reading this and has some time to spare, it would be great to hear from you! Looking forward to seeing what we can all accomplish together. Best, Lukas Am 28.
