Happy Birthday Bridgetown! 🥳

Six years into this #Ruby web framework & static site generator, feels like we've accomplished so much…yet there's so much left we'd still like to do. But that's #WebDev for ya. Keeps everyone on their toes.

Here's to another trip 'round the sun! 🌞🎈

> Board-backed account of maintainer ouster is unlikely to settle row over governance, control, and trust

> Ruby Central, a nonprofit that supports the #Ruby programming language ecosystem, just published an incident report regarding what it calls the September 2025 RubyGems fracture, when ownership of the #GitHub code repository behind the RubyGems package manager was wrested from existing maintainers.

Ruby 3.2 Is EOL: What You Actually Need to Do

Ruby Central publishes an incident report about the RubyGems repo takeover—and it immediately reopens all the wounds. The original controversy: Ruby Central (the nonprofit) asserted control over RubyGems and Bundler repos, removed maintainers from GitHub orgs, and blurred the line between running a service and owning the ecosystem.

Investigations later alleged Shopify manipulated Ruby Central into the takeover. Now the report tries to provide closure but the community isn't having it.

Classic open source governance crisis: who owns the infrastructure everyone depends on?

Facinating write up of the recent rubygems drama's, in what's being named the #RubyGemsFracture

Brings up critically important conversationbs on running small self organising affinity groups and navigating community owned governance.

My take is this is not as simple as left vs right and that there are many parties involved who have really behaved quite terribly.

So much in this one.
