All in all, I don't see sound judgement from Andre Arko or from RubyCentral. That seems the common takeaway from neutral third parties https://archive.md/SEzoV

> Regarding Arko’s blog post about his removal, McQuaid [Homebrew Maintainer] told me it’s good that Arko is crediting other people for their contribution and that he’s following open source principles of community and transparency, but that “his ‘transparency’ here has been selective to things that benefit him/his narrative, he seems unwilling or unable to admit that he failed as a leader in being unwilling or unable to introduce a formal governance process long before this all went down or appoint a meaningful successor and step down amicably.”

He logged in and changed the password after the board emailed him and told him his services were terminated. That includes/specifically mentions his on-call services. His response claims only silence from the board and that he was just performing his on-call duties.

I've been a corporate stooge for 25 years or so now. On call duties are one of my main responsibilities. I would NEVER probe out which logins I still have access to after receiving notice of termination. He admits to doing this in multiple places.

All his justifications are that he was under contract to do work that he was already notified was terminated. Everything that follows either tells me that he has bad judgment, that he's lying (by omissions), or in the worst case totally delusional.

If he was so worried about operational takeover, why did he _change a password_ without notifying anyone else with operational capabilities that he was doing so? Nobody reasonable would _ever_ do that. There's a certain amount of upfront communication and CYA required of reasonable actors in this space and he doesn't have it (Not that Ruby Central did any better).

So no, I won't be changing my mind, and I don't know why you put "(again)" in there.
