Ruby Central Panel
summary
Covers concrete community work not abstract mission statements: running and funding ruby gems infrastructure with paid 24/7 on‑call coverage, a recent merger with Ruby Together, and a reported grant of 190 000 Euros to bolster supply‑chain resilience. Panel details conference logistics (smallest RubyConf since 2005, pandemic revenue risk), governance changes from volunteer board to staff, long‑running blind CFPs and Code of Conduct, and plans for grants, regional support, and year‑round scholar/mentor programs.
