Hard to not leave with the view that @ufuk.dev was primarily motivated by helping DHH.

"I joined the Ruby Central board in December 2023, and the first role assigned to me as a new board member was to co-chair RailsConf 2024."

This was the year after DHH was not invited to present because of his behavior.

First: "My goal was to find a way to get DHH back to speak at RailsConf, and my co-chair was also on-board with that decision."

My memory of Charlie is of a divisive hatemonger. You can't honor the memory of a dishonorable person. Nice to know where you stand on it though.

It’s the same thing really.

Only if you believe conservative media is a business and not a cost-of fascism.
