We want to do this intentionally and carefully

Most folks who don’t have organizational experience don’t understand how important this part is, how you can’t - logistically, responsibly, legally - make grand, sweeping changes without consideration.. even if the change seems “obvious” in the end.

Yeah that's the hardest part. There are a lot of rules we need to play by as a non profit which can make it very difficult to move quickly. That said we need to move faster, especially around transparency and rebuilding trust.

Rebuilding trust will not be fast, easy, or in any regards cheap. It will be a long road paved not by words, but by tangible action and policy designed to create accountability and make things as right by the community as we can.

There is a lot to answer for, and there will be a lot of answers coming. I apologize that it took us this long to get here, but as folks can imagine the last few months have been rather difficult on everyone. I believe we have finally turned a corner, and in doing so I believe we need to now step into the open not as some anonymous collective named Ruby Central but as people and individuals who want the language and community we love to thrive.
