"[you] discovered that people with no active affiliation or agreement in place had top level privileges to some of this critical infrastructure." The people you removed about were actively paid for contractual on-call support through Ruby Central. Far from unaffiliated.

I really appreciate your post @apiguy.dev. Thank you for posting your thoughts. I wish you had the info I had to make your decision. Here's the core issue: Before Sept 9, when a trusted maintainer broke our shared contract and added an RC non-maintainer, you had no ability to enact your vote.

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.

Today has been... intense. Thank you everyone who's discussed this with me and offered kind words or support. I don't know the intent behind what happened. The people involved aren't villains, and they aren't evil.

- This is a bad day and a bad look for the entire Ruby ecosystem. It makes those of us who actively promote Ruby use for projects look bad. RubyCentral citing "supply chain issues", presumably referencing NPM, in the Ruby ecosystem which handles these dramatically better is unnecessary FUD.

- Timeline: RubyCentral had the offer of mediation (from me, others) yesterday, met with me, knew I was meeting with RubyGems maintainers today, engaged with the governance proposals in github.com/rubygems/rfc... yesterday, pulled access to maintainers shortly after, announced what they did today.

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

So who's taking bets on how @rubycentral.org / #rubygems unfolds after their first response? Double down or "we're sorry to have violated your trust"? (I acknowledge there is a possibility of important context missing, but since it was not included in the first reply... unlikely)

like, this does not answer any of the questions this event has raised about why the existing team was considered not qualified to continue their work, or even have the end of their repo access clearly explained to them. how does booting the existing team contribute to any security goals

Ruby Central reply dropped. A focus on security is good, taking away access from maintainers diligently doing their work for many years is not. It sounds a bit like suspecting everyone by default, which I hope is not their intention. Also why this quickly without a conversation beforehand?

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

Some pictures of the afternoon lineup. We learned about the importance of teamwork, the wonders of the Ash framework, why “lagom” is the best way to go and even how to write a book! #goatmire #elixir

What a great start at the last day of #goatmire in Varberg. Both live music and an amazing puppet show, all analogue! #elixir

With Goatmire in the bag. I am resting for a minute but shortly the call of the community horn sounds again and we plan to answer. As part of Global Elixir Meetups we are making an Elixir meetup in Göteborg. luma.com/g7hqffz7 Open to speaker submissions :) #elixirlang

#goatmire took conferences to the next level. The Presentations, the Speakers, the Attendees all were amazing. And It really showcased why I love the elixir community so much. Huge thanks to @lawik.bsky.social and the team for organizing such an awesome event

Cool!!! @maennchen.dev introduces Clarity! @ash-hq.org #elixirlang

#ElixirLang now runs the temporary parliament in Nepal

Well goatmire really has set a new standard for talks. Just wow! 🐐🐐🐐 #elixir

So goatmire has been entirely fantastic so far! It's a really cool event in the BEAM / @elixir-lang.org space! If you're not here you're missing out! If you are, come chat!

Wow, this is amazing!!! 🔥 Elixir events not only about Elixir, but on Elixir! At @elixirconf.bsky.social EU they were using Elixir for streaming the talks. At @alchemyconf.com , they had an Elixir app to scan attendees' badges. Now at Goatmire, Elixir in the badges! #ElixirLang

Sweden’s first Elixir conference is here! 📍 Varberg 🗓️ 10–12 Sept Organized by the Underjord team — by Elixir enthusiasts, for Elixir enthusiasts. We’re glad to sponsor this community-driven event 💜 👉 goatmire.com#top #ElixirLang #BEAM

People are filtering into Varberg for #goatmire. The excitement is building. The Discord is hopping. People are reporting on their jet lag and seeing the town for the first time. #elixirlang

The Groxio team—Bruce Tate, Paulo Valim, and myself—are fresh off of a project where we helped scale an application and its development team all the way to launch. If your company could use #ElixirLang #Consulting help from one or more of us, let’s talk! groxio.com

On behalf of Piotr It is with great sadness that I inform of the passing of Piotr on July 29th, after his long fight with cancer. He was a great man, great engineer, a wonderful husband, father, brother and son. A dedicated Ruby community member. He will be sincerely missed Piotr's wife, Monika

Expert LS is out yall. #ElixirLang github.com/elixir-lang/...

OMG, Expert LSP is already an option inside Zed! 🎉🎉🎉 I thought I'd had to do some custom config to try it out, since it was announced just a few hours ago. Great work! #ElixirLang

Hi Bsky hivemind, is anyone looking for seasoned #ElixirLang developer? EMEA-based, fully remote. Either consulting or full-time.

Ruby User Group Berlin is meeting next Thursday at Unzer! www.rug-b.de/events/septe...

Just published the schedule: www.goatmire.com#schedule Might see some slight changes but the overall situation is set :) #elixirlang

I am back to sponsoring @lpil.uk at $20 / month for his amazing work on @gleam.run If you didn't catch it, Gleam was ranked as the #2 most desired programming language from the Stack Overflow survey. Louis's vision, determination, and cultivation of an impressive core team is incredible.

🚨I am looking for work As a: - Staff engineer (#Ruby/#Rails) - Engineering manager / director - VP of eng I'm based in Portland, Oregon Available for local or remote I can start right away shanebecker.dev Hiring? DM/email me #FediHir#FediHire

We'd (mostly on Arne's initiative) like to get a wreath at @chastell.net funeral "from the Ruby community". If you'd like to pitch in for that then please DM me for details.

Yesterday evening Piotr Szotkowski, also known as Chastell, has passed away. Friend, partner, great engineer, wonderful person.

We lost a wonderful human being this week. I wish we did swap our talks back at RubyConf in Braga to troll the audience and see if they will realize you're not me, and I'm not you, like you wanted to. You were THE Piotr S. of the Ruby community, as we liked to joke. I'll be missing you Piotr.

I can't put the right words together right now to do him a semblance of justice so that will come later this week... but Piotr is greatly missed here and in the entire community. He was one of my closest friends. A joy to hang out with. A joy to learn from. A hole left in my heart.

Mac automatically changing the order of my spaces had me going nuts (there is an order to them for a reason!) and feeling like I set them up wrong. Positively speaking, AI is great at telling me how to reconfigure MacOS to behave normally. #TobiOnAMac

ChatGPT seems to have the same disdain for mac shenanigans as I do and it is helpful trying to resolve them. Normal scroll behavior on a mouse? That means 3rd party software! (I'm not talking about the natural scrolling but it weirdly moving on). #TobiOnAMac

How do you get promoted as a Staff Engineer? Learn what @pragtob.bsky.social had to say last year at Code BEAM Europe. Save your spot for this year’s edition. codebeameurope.com#register

Fuuuuuck, Komoot was sold to Private Equity and they immediately fired almost all employees. Now, it'll die a slow death with a few engineers keeping the lights on while the PE company squeezes the last cent out of it. Super sad story. I loved Komoot! What will replace it?

Finally got to watch @bryan-hunter.bsky.social's Waterpark talk. It's a great demo of how BEAM and Elixir can help build systems with zero downtime, while significantly reducing technical complexity. Curious about what makes Elixir special? This is the talk to see! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdBm...

Gleam sponsorship has been slowly dropping over the last few months. The project is free from influence by any corporation, but it means the team and I need your support! Just a few dollars makes a big difference, so please sponsor if you appreciate Gleam. github.com/sponsors/lpil

LinkedIn like: "Should we post an update about your job change" NOOO SKIPP SKIIP DON'T DO THAT LinkedIn: Alright I'm posting it!

The train wifi is surprisingly stable and workable! Released statistex 1.1.0 - first new version in 6 years 😅 Now supports outlier detection and removal! Shout out the NickNeck/Marcus! github.com/bencheeorg/s...

A new #Exercism learning Exercise for #Elixir MapSets by jiegillet just released 🙌 exercism.org/tracks/elixi... #MyElixirStatus

This conference is brought to you by .. a library. But not just any library. Oban Pro is a supporting sponsor of Goatmire Elixir. One of the most well-respected tools in the Elixir toolbox. A no-brainer for robust job processing, workflows and much more. oban.pro #elixirlang

Naturally on a Mac my beautiful display starts flickering again. Dropping it from 120hz to 60hz seems to have temporarily fixed it. #TobiOnAMac

We’re HUGE supporters of the #ElixirLang community, which is why we’re super excited to be supporting #Goatmire, Sweden's 1st Elixir conference as a Founding sponsor! 🥳 Book your tix & meet the @teamalembic.bsky.social and #Ash team there this Sept! goatmire.com
