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.

Someone with absolutely no technical background, a recipe for disaster.

Rhiannon worked with Ruby Central for a bit, left a few weeks ago, and just shared this: https://bsky.app/profile/rhiannon.io/post/3lz6zcflg2s26

Oh wow. I'm absolutely alarmed after reading that. To be honest, I had been wondering if some of the PR disasters this year could be laid on Rhiannon's shoulders, but it sounds like the rot is coming from the top.
