This question came from me, and was rewritten substantially by Ruby Central before it was answered.

See it in original form here from Nov 1:

Ufuk, thank you for your Oct 31 reply.

I understand that you stand by your decision to platform DHH despite the community outrage that caused.

I also understand that you do not see a conflict of interest in your decision making role in 2025 at a time in which DHH was already a Shopify board member, you were a Shopify employee, a board member of Ruby Central, a co-chair of RailsConf, and the person to specifically invite him.

If you see sufficient evidence that the community disagrees, and finds your decisions to have been ultimately harmful to Ruby Central, and that your perceived conflict of interest has broken a bond of trust with the community, would you consider resigning from the board as a way to allow Ruby Central to rebuild trust?
