Could someone with more insight as to the decision-making at Ruby Central weigh in on what's going on here? Between this and drama with the conferences over the years I'm just confused. They've been busy launching podcasts and doing fundraising, email campaigns and all that. Has there been a change in leadership?

Yes, they recently hired a new Executive Director.

looking at that CV, I have zero doubt that this will be a subscription service in 5 years time

Yikes! At least they'll have someone "results-driven, client-focused," and "driving stakeholder engagement", because that's really what a software repository needs.
