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

>>RobotT+Q4
Opposed to hiring someone with a technical background but no experience running a non-profit?

>>drbrag+n6
Non sequitur. False dichotomy.

>>drbrag+n6
As opposed to someone with experience with both?

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

>>ehutch+A7
I mean, that would be awesome. Got someone in mind?

>>bradge+x1
looking at that CV, I have zero doubt that this will be a subscription service in 5 years time

>>drbrag+n6
It's easier to learn to run a non-profit coming from a technical management background than it is for an MBA to learn to be an engineer.

> Going in, I had heard there was something magical about the Ruby community, but I didn’t yet understand what that meant.

... so I decided to destroy it, because I cannot abide things I do not understand.

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

>>bradge+68
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.

>>bradge+68
Post not found, what did it say?

>>vintag+pO
Interesting. It worked a few hours ago. Sorry, I didn't make a copy of the text.

her followup post:

Deleted my post, which I published before Ruby central released their blog explaining things.

It’s ultimately not my place to say or speculate about what’s going on.

It’s obviously a disastrously bad roll out or whatever is happening and I hope they are able to make things right w the community.
