Ruby Central in 'real financial jeopardy' following RubyGems maintainer ruckus

Ruby Central, the nonprofit managing RubyGems package infrastructure, announced it faces "real financial jeopardy" and has terminated its executive director, CFO, and several contractors. The crisis follows controversy over removal of long-standing maintainers who subsequently launched a rival Gem Cooperative and created gem.coop as an alternative server. Board members cited dependency on uncertain funding timelines against fixed expense obligations.
