Ruby Central exists to make sure RubyGems.org, Bundler, and other Ruby open source infrastructure stays maintained.

Since 2015, we have delivered:

• 99.9% uptime for RubyGems.org with ZERO major outages
• Bundler shipping inside Ruby itself via collaboration with ruby-core
• 2 major versions, 24 minor versions, and 167 bugfix releases of RubyGems and Bundler
• Bundler and RubyGems merged into a single repository and GitHub organization
• stats.rubygems.org to show the community who is using RubyGems

We have also funded development work on other Ruby open source projects:

• Gemstash
• The Ruby Toolbox
• Bridge Troll
• SimpleCov
• RubyGems Stats

Finally, we have created a program to pay experienced developers and developers who are just getting started to practice pairing and open source development: Ruby Me.

More funding means we will pay more open source developers, fund more open source Ruby projects, and run more rounds of Ruby Me, with more participants.

Help us improve the Ruby ecosystem and community, for everyone. ❤️
