Anyone here involved in the RubyGems community? I just noticed this story about the creation of a new Gems Cooperative being created in the aftermath of what looks like a bit of a row about control/access of key repositories. Great to see the cooperative model being used by the open source developer community: Ex-RubyGems maintainers forge new home at Gem Cooperative • The Register

yeah a lot going on for ruby right now! theres also this open letter to oust DHH from being Rails maintainer due to his increasingly fascist views (i’ve signed it)
personally will have to wait and see a bit but maybe a sign open source is finally maturing a bit with some of these recent initatives

Yes, there’s a lot going on in the Ruby community, but it’s hard to get a clear picture.
The new organisation you alluded to, https://gem.coop, has now published some details about its governance: GitHub - gem-coop/governance: gem.coop governance .
