Maintaining FLOSS software is my passion, and I need your support to continue.

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

I am currently focusing on:

• 🌴 Building comprehensive AST-based code merging/templating tools like ast-merge (a DSL for merging documents in any language), tree-haver (think "faraday for ASTs"), and kettle-jem (language specific merge recipes).
• 🔑 OWASP: Improving the state of SBOM tooling in Ruby with OWASP CycloneDX
• 🍁 Apache Software Foundation: Improving the state of license compatibility tooling in Ruby (via GoLang) with Apache SkyWalking Eyes, read more here
• 🥷 Modernizing the entire openid v2 stack in Ruby - If you are at one of the corporations still using this, please work on a corporate sponsorship! These tools were fully dead for > 10 years.
• 🥷 Moving toward a v3 release of the venerable oauth2 gem that supports authentication in a plurality of Ruby apps
• 🔍️ Released appraisal2, the improved appraisal alternative
• ⌛️ updating seed_migration gem
• 🚛 migrated my gem suites, and continuing to maintain them:
  • Resque plugins ▶️ Resque org
  • omniauth plugins ▶️ omniauth org
  • openid gems ▶️ ruby-openid org
  • oauth tools ▶️ ruby-oauth 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 all repos 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.

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! All of the money I earn from open source goes toward maintenance of my family.
