Where did you find they’re still giving money to rails?
I came across this blog post on sponsorships, which I find a bit difficult to parse, but it doesn’t appear as if they’ve given anymore after the initial support.
Railsworld sponsorship, which is still massively outsizing most other support. What I don’t see is any more of the constant posts about Omarchy, which is a net improvemen but still not at the spot I personally want to see.
I agree the post is unclear, but I’m not sure where you get your assumption of it being “this year’s list”. That is reading something in the text which isn’t there. Furthermore;
Rails World is in all three iterations of the table in that post, which includes prior updates.
The amount donated is $24,000 in all three cases.
They all link to the same Rails World 2025 convention page.
That does not show continued support in and of itself.
And until they clarify, I will continue to assume its a current list. The ball isnt in my court to make it clear they have stopped supporting racist shitheads.
It is a current list, yes. Just not current year’s list.
Some public statement on the Rails matter would be nice, I also agree. A clearer list would similarly be welcome. But reading things into the text that aren’t there isn’t on them.
Thats your interpretation. Considering nrp’s big tent comments, I am not going to be so generous in my interpretation.
Current year, current list, I currently expect it to continue for this years rails world.
Its linked to 2025 because 2026, as of now, doesnt exist.
Until there is an explicit statement to the contrary, I will assume they are continuing as they were. I don’t know how to make this any more clear to you, so I’ll leave it at that.
I do cringe just a tad at “We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software.” Mentioned here, but they do appear to do some research:
On Hyprland specifically, we were aware that there was past toxicity and controversy in their community, so we did research into it before deciding if we could sponsor the project. What we found was that there were past failures in moderation early in the creation of the project that had resulted in a toxic community, that the project lead vaxry had overhauled moderation years ago as a result, and that the community as it currently stands does not represent the one in which the issues occurred.
Though I cannot attest as to whether this clears anything/everything.

I understand that it’s about the Rails World 2025 donation, but where do you see they’re still supporting Rails?
Its in the list in the March 2026 blog post. Since there are no dates in the columns, to me that shows as “this year’s list of assigned donations”.

Do as you please. I understand your concern, but putting words in their mouth does not make your case any stronger.
