Here’s a note from our Executive Director regarding our recent security incident. https://lnkd.in/g6VAfHQK

Hello Ruby Community, We recognize that our originally scheduled Q&A session overlaps with the observance of Rosh Hashanah and may not have been the best timing for many in our community. We sincerely apologize for the short notice of this change, especially since the session was set to take place tomorrow. In response to the feedback we’ve received, we’ve made the decision to postpone the session. A new date and time will be shared with you in the coming days. In the meantime, we invite you to watch this statement from our Executive Director. This update is intended to ensure everyone receives the same information and can view it at a time that works best for them. https://lnkd.in/gsY8PBTP

At the heart of Ruby Central’s mission is our responsibility to steward the open source tools that power the Ruby ecosystem. In addition, with the recent increase of software supply chain attacks, we are taking proactive steps to safeguard the Ruby gem ecosystem end-to-end. Our Board has approved governance and security measures to ensure accountability, clarity, and trust as we strengthen stewardship of RubyGems and Bundler.

We were honored to attend the Human Rights Campaign’s National Dinner this past weekend. It was a fabulous evening of connection and celebration, bringing together leaders and advocates committed to building a more inclusive future. Moments like this remind us how important it is to stand for equality and show up in spaces where community and courage are at the center. Ruby Central is proud to celebrate alongside so many who continue to lead with purpose.
