This was sent out to everyone that signed up for today's Zoom call about last week's drama, they canceled the Zoom since today is Rosh Hashana.
In my opinion there is still a pretty big gap of understanding between what some of the long time maintainers posted about last week and what Ruby Central has been communicating.
In particular - the maintainers seemed to be caught completely by surprise by all of this where as Ruby Central is claiming this was just a new SOP for offboarding a former employee. They're sort of talking past the actual issue, everyone agrees that security of the Ruby ecosystem is important, but they're not addressing how they handled the individual long time contributors.

This is the only video on their channel for a while that's disabled comments. There is an irony to saying they failed on communications, then disabling communications.
