#Ruby Core (Matz and the core developers) are taking over Bundler and RubyGems from the Shopify-dominated Ruby Central crowd who had just screwed things up.
on 02025-10-17“#Ruby Central recently took over a collection of open source projects from their maintainers without their consent.” Apparently because Shopify asked them to: "1. Ruby Central was struggling for money. 2. Sidekiq withdrew its $250,000/year sponsorship for Ruby Central because they platformed DHH at RailsConf 2025. 3. Shopify demanded that Ruby Central take full control of the RubyGems GitHub repositories and the bundler and rubygems-update gems, threatening to withdraw funding if Ruby Central did not comply. (...) 11. Shopify specifically demanded that at least one of the RubyGems maintainers, André Arko, be excluded from returning to the project. André has been working on RubyGems for over a decade and was also one of the founders of Ruby Together, an organization that merged with Ruby Central.” #politics
