	3	+It's time to stop bad actors from using our work in unethical ways. It's time to give open source developers around the world the tools they need to exercise their ethical responsibilities as engineers and members of human society. It's time for us to stop shirking our ethical obligations, and take responsibility for the use of our work.

3	3	I've been an active participant in open source since the early 2000s, and before then I contributed to the software commons as a Perl hacker, releasing code to CPAN (and even publishing it in 2600: The Hacker Quarterly) in the 1990s.

13	13	Since 2015, I've served on the board of [[Ruby Together>>url:https://rubytogether.org]], a non-profit that funds work on core Ruby ecosystem projects, including RubyGems.org and Bundler. In 2018 I created the [[RubyMe project>>url:http://rubyme.org]], which is a paid open source mentorship program (funded by Ruby Together) serving early-career developers from underrepresented backgrounds. RubyMe helps these bright and ambitious engineers develop the skills and experience they need to start their careers, by pairing them with seasoned Rubyists to work on open source projects together.

21	21	For many years, I've been putting in the hard but necessary work of transforming and evolving the open source community. As a member of the Open Source Initiative Board, my main objective will be to work together with other community leaders to reconcile our core open source guiding principles with the emerging Ethical Source movement's mission of ensuring that software freedom is ALWAYS in service of human freedom. I will also work hard to repeat the success of the RubyMe project by creating a similar program funded and organized by the Open Source Initiative.

23	23	I believe that in good-faith collaboration and partnership with my peers in the Open Source Initiative, we can move the community forward and ensure that it lives up to its full potential as a force for good in the world.
