Introducing yaml-converter
| 📍 NOTE |
|---|
| RubyGems (the GitHub org, not the website) suffered a hostile takeover in September 2025. |
| Ultimately 4 maintainers were hard removed and a reason has been given for only 1 of those, while 2 others resigned in protest. |
| It is a complicated story which is difficult to parse quickly. |
| I’m adding notes like this to gems because I don’t condone theft of repositories or gems from their rightful owners. |
| If a similar theft happened with my repos/gems, I’d hope some would stand up for me. |
| Disenfranchised former-maintainers have started gem.coop. |
| Once available I will publish there exclusively; unless RubyCentral makes amends with the community. |
| The “Technology for Humans: Joel Draper” podcast episode by reinteractive is the most cogent summary I’m aware of. |
| See here, here and here for more info on what comes next. |
| What I’m doing: A (WIP) proposal for bundler/gem scopes, and a (WIP) proposal for a federated gem server. |
