Ruby Central's Destructive Legacy: A Developer's Account of the Bundler Dispute
I detail how Ruby Central lost control of major Ruby projects and conferences after a hostile takeover of Bundler and RubyGems. Despite losing most contributors and sponsors, they continue threatening legal action and reported me to the FBI. I explain the ongoing dispute, their failed settlement offers, and the conflict of interest within their new board while seeking a resolution for the community.
Ruby Central began what core team member Ellen Dash called a hostile takeover of the RubyGems, Bundler, and RubyGems.org open source projects, seizing control and locking out the team that had nurtured them for over a decade.
