Michael Kohl 🇦🇹🇹🇭Feb 11

In case you wonder if conference talks are worth it: since @marcoroth's talk at @rubyconfth (10 days ago) I got 9 PRs merged into Herb and have a pretty big one in review right now. I haven't contributed this much to a single FOSS project in years.

announcing the 2026 Gem Fellowship

Last month I announced my latest venture to support the Ruby open source community: the Gem Fellowship. I want this grant program to support and fund existing Ruby-related open source project maintainers and their ongoing efforts: fixing bugs and adding features for those libraries we know and love.
