Maintaining FLOSS software is my full-time role, 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:

  • [x] Improving the state of SBOM tooling in Ruby with OWASP CycloneDX
  • [x] Improving the state of license compatibility tooling in Ruby 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.
  • [x] Moving toward a v3 release of the venerable oauth2 gem that supports authentication in a plurality of Ruby apps
  • [x] Released appraisal2, the improved appraisal alternative
  • [ ] updating seed_migration gem
  • [x] migrated my suite of Resque plugins to the Resque org
  • [x] Patching to update dependencies, and bring each rubygem into compliance with rubocop-packaging so they can be included in the Debian linux distribution
  • [x] Migrating to Github Actions for CI, fixing builds, and updating the spec suites to drop EOL'd Rubies, and include latest Rubies
  • [x] Improve documentation, and investigate some of the thornier issues that have been raised in issue trackers.
  • [x] 2025 (so far)
    • I have contributed to many hundreds of projects
  • [x] 2024
    • I contributed to 102 different projects
  • [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! All of the money I earn from open source goes toward maintenance of my family.

@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 or authorize using oauth, oauth2, openid, or omniauth in Ruby, I likely have a hand in that. I also created rubocop-lts, maintain resque plugins, and have created many other popular gems. I would love to hear about your experience using the tools I've done my best to maintain.
