> I’m happy to announce the Gem Fellowship, a grant partnership with gem.coop, the new open source cooperative in the Ruby community. Contributed Systems, my company behind Sidekiq Pro and Sidekiq Enterprise, is committing to provide $100,000 in grants for each of the next three years. These grants are meant to provide funding to the altruistic people who maintain and improve the open source tools freely available to the Ruby community.

I'm glad to see the folks behind Sidekiq sticking to their principals. They're supporting the same good folks that were responsible for maintaining RubyGems before.

This prospect of this bubble finally popping fills me with great excitement!
