Has there been any attempt from Ruby Central to undo the damage they caused? Can anyone comment on the current state of affairs?

Still waiting for them to reschedule the Zoom call they were going to do with the community.... something tells me we'll be waiting for a while.

Maybe they're waiting till after Yom Kippur? ;-)

This makes sense, since there won’t be a community left to have a call with if they don’t get their shit together.

I think this was the last statement from Ruby Central: https://youtu.be/VyCiE3GjQps?si=QgY1sa_w-59jJjQ3

This topic seems to be in a holding pattern now. People are waiting to see how Ruby Central responds. Some are hoping for the Q&A to be rescheduled or at least another statement

In this, the year of someone's lord 2025, surely there's a non-video version, right?

Probably on Discord.

The YouTube video may have a transcript.

There was a Gist posted of the transcript: https://gist.github.com/schneems/8f5179c8fa3d57cb6025d9e62c1...

same as previous written statements

blah, blah, strengthening governance, blah, blah

again, conflating code and rubygems.org service

anyway it's about "protecting the Ruby community"

I also fact checked that video here. https://joel.drapper.me/p/ruby-central-fact-check/

> I know for a fact that Ruby Central knew that it had no right to take over the RubyGems open source properties. I know this from speaking to the people involved and I have video evidence that Ruby Central knew.

Wow.

For a video claiming to have a timeline was awfully short on dates.
