#12Contextually it might be relevant that Ruby Central said they wanted to have a Zoom call today to explain everything,
then cancelled it. This was their message.
"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."

#13>This is not how open source works.
Open source is about licensing and not about governance. There are plenty of open source projects where the owner is a dictator. In this case the owner of the github organization has control over who is a part of it and who has permissions within it.

Not sure why you think this is relevant. The issue is about Ruby Central's failure to make a coherent statement or mea culpa, which the Github post does. AI influence is incidental.
It’s not relevant but that’s the only way wannabe writers can make themselves feel good about not contributing.
Imagine discovering the accounting fraud at Exxon back in 2000s and using calculator to prove it, only for people to discount you because you used calculator and didn’t calculate it yourself.

> indirectly say that the person who wrote the piece is a bad writer
or a good writer. A lot of the so-called tells are things that are more likely to be done by professional writers under the care of a professional editor. For example, many people assume the presence of an em dash means text was written by an LLM, when obviously LLMs did not invent punctuation marks.

#16Soo let me see if I get the context.
Ruby central was short for cash, Shopify used that to pressure them into a takeover of several core community repos like bundler so that Shopify can control those indirectly? Is that it?

Re: I'm leaving Ruby Central
#18Tangent: IMO this is why you keep your repos under your account, and don't give them over to a group acct. Unless you no longer want/care about control, or things like this happening. If that's the case and you've moved on or are OK with moving on, then do the group account.

In a word, yes.
