Joel “this is bs” DrapperAfter listening to about a dozen first-hand accounts, I’ve published what I know so far about the RubyGems takeover.
Paul Campbell@joeldrapper — Thank you so much for putting this together. It's remarkably unbiased, but it really paints a damning picture, mostly of the lack of nuance that Ruby Central have applied to this situation. Something _is_ rotten in the state of Denmark.
Johan Halse@paulca Ruby Central handled it terribly, but Shopify (and who knows who's pulling the strings there) are the real villains. They keep dangling their money in front of people to get what they want, and what they want isn't always what the Ruby ecosystem needs.
@hejsna — I can see that too. I think additionally having all of these conversations in private and essentially orchestrating cutting people out isn't a particularly good look.
