> Why did you include that list of sponsors at the bottom of your post?

Clearly, that was because this information directly supports readers following through on the call to action: “And if Ruby Central does not do this we must pressure sponsors to stop funding Ruby Central”. That’s obvious.

> What's with the "contingent on employment status or ideological alignment" bit about? That's not been mentioned anywhere else so far.

Yes, both the original pdf and the RubyCentral statement edplicitly refer to admin status being made contingent on being full-time employee of RubyCentral. If you just mean no one has explicitly brought upthe ideological angle, well, that’s a fairly easy concer to reach wrih something being contingent on employment at a particular nonprofit, so it would be weird to interogate like this even if you had clearly focussed on kn just that point.

Where did the ideological alignment piece come from then?

The cancellation of DHH's keynote was purely political. At that time, RubyCentral's response was similarly uncommunicative and their explanation was BS.

This is not the first strike.
