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

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

Non sequitur. False dichotomy.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
