Re: Thank you, Gostev
Its fantastic, I learn so much from the weekly digest email not only about everything Veeam related but also useful and interesting technical information and points about the industry in general that I have relayed to my work colleagues and customers many times! Thankyou Gostev!

Re: Thank you, Gostev
As a partner and Veeam integrator since 2008 I must said that Veeam wouldn't be the same without Gostev. A real Techno Evangelist with much passion.
The weekly digest is definitely a nice starting point on Monday and generally the first mail I read. Always some good brain food into it.
Thanks for all these years and I hope that we will have many more ahead.

I started reading these12 years ago when I on-boarded Veeam as a partner when managing the storage/backup portfolio at GreenPages Technology Solutions. It led to my working for Veeam!

Keep up the great work!

Re: Thank you, Gostev
I take pride in faithfully finding that hidden "Unsubscribe" from every newsletter I didn't ask for, but inevitably start receiving after putting my email in a web form. I read 1 newsletter, and that's Gostev's.
Thank you very much for your candor, insight, and sometimes humor. I even forward your newsletter to other folks at my company from time to time, as the writings often apply to so many on the IT frontlines.
Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Re: Thank you, Gostev
I received the weekly Veeam R&D Forums Digest today and I was very happy to see Gostev's commentary again after many weeks! I really missed his insights! Thanks Gostev

Re: Thank you, Gostev
I miss Antons weekly digest dearly, but i also understand the situation and that not everything goes back to normal just because some time passes..
Still, i really feel alot more uninformed withouth Antons words at the beginning of the week - it was always such a nice thing to look forward to after the weekend at the start of the workday...

Re: Thank you, Gostev
I Just read Anton's most recent update for "The word from Gostev" and thought I would find something like this here already.
Anton, thank you so much for the great updates. I hope you carry them on at some point but, if not, I would like to add my appreciation for them over the years. It occurred to me that maybe you either take a much needed break OR maybe (with permission from Veeam, of course) take the opportunity to write about what you are doing and feeling right now relating to the conflict. Maybe there is something useful the community can do to give back, even if it is just emotional support.
Either way, thank you Anton and take care.

Re: Thank you, Gostev
I'd like to chime in that I too was happy to see the return of the weekly digest post, although I fully understand the desire to step back from it. I'd also like to throw out there that I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has felt like I can't do all that much to directly help the refugees, but if Gostev were to put up a GoFundMe or something I'd pitch in.

Re: Thank you, Gostev
Hello Gostev,
I greatly appreciate your previous work for the weekly newsletter and understand your issues because of the war in Ukraine.
I hope that you start back again to write your weekly summary of important points in the newsletter or will give us all here a info, that we should not expect that anymore for now and the future.

Re: Thank you, Gostev
Hello Mike, thank you so much for your kind words.
Truth be told, there are additional complications these days due to my new senior role. Please appreciate that I can no longer openly share my personal opinion like I did without it coming across as an official Veeam's position. This was already a major issue even before I became C-level, with our Alliance execs firefighting the fallout of my newsletters every other Monday. But same issues now would mean 10x bigger problem, including for me personally, and every next newsletter can become a Veeam career-ending one yet I cannot fix this because I refuse to create bland content which only goal is to make everyone happy.
I just like to say it how it is and 11+ years of writing this newsletter convinced me that it's practically impossible to produce interesting, non-bland technical newsletters without constantly upsetting someone. And I'm not talking vendors only but also regular readers who disagreed strongly with some of my points, got upset about jokes I make etc. and decided to go all the way to our CEO with their concerns... this happened many times over the past decade and a few folks even made it their mission to get me "corrected". It was not a pleasant experience but is an unavoidable reality for any newsletter with tens of thousands subscribers.
So unfortunately I'm unable to start again while I'm holding my current role at Veeam, however I can definitely foresee restarting if/when I leave Veeam - as overall, I did enjoy doing this and I know that many people liked the content.
Thank you for understanding.
