I contribute to FLOSS projects in hopes that the future will be better than the present.

I am currently focusing on:

  • [x] Moving toward a v2 release of the venerable oauth2 gem that supports authentication in a plurality of Ruby apps
  • [ ] updating seed_migration gem
  • [ ] migrating my suite of Resque plugins to the Resque org
  • [ ] Patching to update dependencies, and bring each rubygem into compliance with rubocop-packaging so they can be included in the Debian linux distribution
  • [ ] Migrating to Github Actions for CI, fixing builds, and updating the spec suites to drop EOL'd Rubies, and include latest Rubies
  • [ ] Improve documentation, and investigate some of the thornier issues that have been raised in issue trackers.
  • [x] 2023 releases to date (only listing latest major release of each, as some had multiple releases):
    • require_bench v1.0.4
    • gem_bench v2.0.0
    • standard-rubocop-lts v1.0.9
    • rubocop-ruby1_8 (decided, why not, I have all the others already)
    • updates to rubocop-ruby1_9, *2_0, *2_1, *2_2, *2_3, *2_4, *2_5, *2_6, *2_7. *3_0, *3_2)
  • [x] 2022 releases:
    • rubocop-lts (also rubocop-ruby1_9, *2_0, *2_1, *2_2, *2_3, *2_4, *2_5, *2_6, *2_7, *3_0, and *3_1, *3_2)
    • version_gem
    • service_actor-promptable
    • gitmoi-regex
    • pretty_feed
    • oauth2 v2

Ruby continues to be my favorite language. I hope the day will never come when I stop contributing into the Ruby ecosystem!

When you contribute to me, in sponsorship of my open source work, it helps me keep the gears turning on the many projects I support. Sponsorships are motivational, and truly appreciated! I would say that all the money I earn from sponsorships goes to charity, but the reality is I donate many orders of magnitude more to charity than what I make from sponsorships. Bottom line is I give away everything I don't need to support myself. I'm currently supporting around 400 current or former refugees in war-torn West Africa, around half in Ghana, and half in Liberia. Many of the current refugees are from Ivory Coast.

@pboling

It would be transformational for me to feel publicly and financially supported in my FLOSS Ruby efforts. If you have appreciated the ability to authenticate using oauth, oauth2, or omniauth in Ruby since 2017, I likely had a hand in that. I would love to hear about your experience using the tools I've done my best to maintain.
