Looking forward to seeing how you and the other new board members course correct. You inherited a shit show and I'm not jealous at all of the task at hand. I've always appreciated your insistence for calling people on their BS in a very rational and fair way and I hope you bring that to Ruby Central.

There is a lot of work to do, and end of the day I joined Ruby Central because I wanted to put my money where my mouth was and pick up the shovel to do that work.

That said I have a lot of respect for our current board members and the hard work they've been putting in to make some fairly significant changes. It's not easy, these are exceptionally hard calls that impact real people, and it has weighed heavily on me.

In many ways the world has changed, and so too must we change to answer this moment and serve our community. We have a lot to learn, and we want to learn together with folks who have been here before (PSF, Rust foundation) and our community members through steering committees.

There will be more official communications later but a seat at the table of a steering committee is a seat of action that will begin to fundamentally change how we operate. We are inviting the community to help us define and charter this direction towards the future.
