I know Marty personally (he helps run the Boulder ruby meetup with me) and I am positive he acted in good faith, even if there were mistakes along the way. I also empathize with the volunteers who were unpleasantly surprised; never a good feeling. I'd encourage everyone to remember that there are people on both sides of the computer screen.
As mentioned in a sibling comment, there's a Q&A with him and other members of Ruby Central on Tue. Here's a link to the signup: >>45302629
