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:

  • 🌴 StructuredMerge.org: Building comprehensive AST-based open source code & document 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.
  • 🗓️ 2025
    • I contributed to 233+ projects
  • 🗓️ 2024
    • I contributed to 145+ projects

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

I maintain Ruby infrastructure that many applications rely on but few teams think about until it breaks. My work spans authentication and authorization gems like oauth, oauth2, openid, and omniauth, long-term compatibility tooling like rubocop-lts, Resque plugins, and many other libraries across the ecosystem. Sponsorship helps make this maintenance sustainable: reviewing issues, shipping fixes, preserving compatibility, improving documentation, and keeping widely-used gems alive. If this work has helped you, your company, or the Ruby community you depend on, I would be grateful for your support.
