Ruby 0.49!?

I’ve been frustrated with how we write and manage software for years now. Next week, @miren.dev’s vision of a better way begins!

Happy to announce that Gem Fellowship applications are now open! If you're a Ruby open source maintainer, this grant program is for you. 💎 https://gem.coop/fellowship/

Hey #sfruby, I have Sidekiq hats for anyone interested!

Am I missing something or did they just say “we can’t release our bylaws because we don’t know how to add content and we’re redesigning our website”?

Herb v0.8 is here! 🚀 The biggest release yet, packed with new language bindings, Linter Autofix support, Linter Fix-on-Save, a new `.herb.yml` config file, formatter improvements, Tailwind Class Sorting integration, and a ton of performance, tooling and LSP improvements! 🌿

Really happy @hanamirb.org 2.3 is out with some improvements I helped work on! including a `hanami run` command + resources routing DSL. Always room for more in the tent, try it out and contribute back to help make things better though! hanamirb.org/blog/2025/11... #ruby

Cooperative identity, values and principles. If you’re interested in open source governance, cooperatives match well with an egalitarian group of project maintainers. ica.coop/en/cooperati...

@amandabrooke.bsky.social Hi Amanda, can you point me to the Rails Foundation Form 990 for 2024? It appears to be overdue?

🔥 XO Ruby is seeking sponsors for our multi-city tour! Help us bring Ruby developers together across 6 cities. Your support strengthens the Ruby community nationwide. www.xoruby.com/firestarter/

This is leadership

The assumption that she has absolute authority over our communal resources is absurd. She really does not seem to understand that Ruby Central exists in service to Ruby developers. It is an administrative role, not governing.

What comes through loud and clear from Shan is the lack of respect for open source authors. She actually says it’s none of my business why I was removed from rubygems. I don’t know where you got the audacity but you should put it back. youtu.be/nKpo68g9dEk?...

After a year hiatus, my series on all things Ruby concurrency is back! This post digs into the interrupt mechanism in Ruby threads. These interrupts revolve around bit masks, so it's got some Ruby bit work as well! Expect more regular updates from now on 💃💃💃 jpcamara.com/2025/10/22/b...

Ruby Association has 16 Platinum sponsors and roughly $100k in annual income. Platinum sponsorship is ~$3200 (500,000 yen). I think they could add a zero to their Sponsorship tiers and pay for a few ruby-core members to work full-time. Their 2025 budget […]

XO Ruby, a series of traveling events is heading to Austin on October 25th!! There are only 80 tickets available and they are going FAST www.xoruby.com/event/austin/

We're trying something new and we'd love if you experimented with us.

I appreciate that gem.coop is taking governance seriously out of the gate. mikemcquaid.com/bootstrappi...

XO Ruby Portland is tomorrow! 🥳🥳 Will we see you there? It's not too late to grab your ticket! 🏙️ Oct. 10/11, 9am - 5pm 🎟️ Grab your ticket for $100: www.xoruby.com/event/portland/

Gem.coop governance just dropped. I’m really curious to learn more about the voting methods they note. https://github.com/gem-coop/governance

Sidekiq 8.0.8 has been released, you can now configure a maximum runtime for iterable jobs to avoid long-running jobs from hogging all threads. 🎹🎶 https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/blob/main/Changes.md#808 https://youtu.be/tLxDRePUwEY?si=EcNvKvEV9VE8KfEn&t=38

Sidekiq is the headline sponsor for XORuby Portland. This Saturday, see you there?

I’ll be speaking, join us and meet the lovely Bay Area Ruby community!

I’ll be speaking, join us and meet the lovely Bay Area Ruby community!

Good morning! Have you switched to the new community gem server yet? It's as easy as this: github.com/sidekiq/side...

a Gem Cooperative emerges, from @socket.dev socket.dev/blog/gem-coo...

announcing a new community-focused gem server from the team previously behind rubygems: gem.coop. join us and start using it today!

Hanami 2.3 beta1 is out! This release introduces Rack 3 support, plus a wide range of improvements and fixes. We’d love your help with testing. Please give it a go! hanamirb.org/blog/2025/10...

Ruby Central took what wasn’t theirs to take, and they must immediately hadn’t it back. We can talk later about the lying and gaslighting that followed. But what they must do right now is hand back the GitHub organisation and open source packages to the maintainers.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

The way that certain people in this community attack André, while turning a blind eye to DHH’s (objectively far worse) behaviour. It’s fucking disgraceful.

So let me get this straight: we're now at the rumor mongering stage of "it's about ethics in open source!" coming from community leaders who should feel at least some tinge of hypocrisy considering who's ethics they're suspiciously always silent on. I'm disappointed in you all.

It's easy to do this when his political opinions don't affect you or your friends. It's hard to just ignore when they do cause an impact. I'm glad I didn't get into Rails. If I did, I'd be finding a new framework.

I continue to fund @hanamirb.org because I believe in @timriley.info as a leader who will create communities that welcome everyone, not just a select few. He, to me, represents the heart of Ruby and I am proud to support him and Hanami.

📍 Sidekiq is our Portland sponsor for #XORuby Portland! October 11| $100 | www.xoruby.com/event/portland/ #Ruby #Sidekiq

In happy Ruby news, I am _so_ excited for @xoruby.com in Portland on October 11. Look at that lineup, it's like a Ruby reunion. (But don't be intimated if you're new, we're friendly!) And there are still tickets available. 👀 www.xoruby.com/event/portla...

Support each other, we're stronger together. Solidarity. ❤️https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidarity

I appreciate the clarification from @apiguy.dev. I'm still mulling it over: a big sponsor threatening to withhold funding unless long-term maintainers were removed asap. Is that accurate? Why not just require CLAs for anyone going forward? What's sad is all of this could have been a github issue.

Freedom, another member of the Ruby Central Board, wrote this post, but it closely aligns with my feelings and experiences as well. apiguy.substack.com/p/a-board-me...

The Ruby community deserves to know who voted for this and what information they were acting on. Ruby Central is actually very opaque. They don’t publish donations, they don’t publish votes, the community has no say who’s on the board. There is no accountability.

Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take: - RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.

Hey @valeriecodes.bsky.social, are there any plans to shift Ruby Central to publicly elect Board members? Right now AFAICT Board members are nominated and elected secretly, with no community engagement. This is the only info I could find, please educate us? rubycentral.org/news/ruby-ce...
