From b378e703e0b5c14494b778f6f38ea3132e90df29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adarsh Pandit Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2018 20:08:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add a paragraph about the RubyGems partnership Reason for Change ================= * There is a lot of confusion about how these shared resources are supported by the different Ruby community organizations. * This is an effort to agree on language to ensure alignment across these organizations and clarify who does what for everyone in the Ruby community * The language here could then be used in prominent places like rubytogether.org, rubycentral.org, rubygems.org, rubygems.org `README.md`. Changes ======= * Draft language based on the discussion from https://github.com/rubytogether/board/issues/5. * Added a `Finance` section Recommended Reviewers ===================== @evanphx, @qrush, @indirect, @practicingdev, @danielcompton --- README.md | 19 ++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index fde7945..3918afc 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -66,9 +66,26 @@ Members of Ruby Together are automatically added to a private Slack organization [rubytogether/board](https://github.com/rubytogether/board) +## Finances + +### How We Raise Money + +Ruby Together raises money from monthly dues from member developers and sponsor +companies. + +### Where the Money Goes + +#### RubyGems Partnership + +> [RubyGems.org](RubyGems.org) is managed by [Ruby Central](http://rubycentral.org), a community-funded organization supported by conference participation for [RailsConf](railsconf.org) and [RubyConf](rubyconf.org) through tickets and sponsorships. +> +> [RubyTogether](rubytogether.org) sponsors individuals to work on development and operations work of RubyGems.org to augment the work of many volunteers.
