Additional/New Ownership

[trek]

Although we still use Urban Airship at Groupon, our architecture has changed so that we're no longer using it via Ruby. This puts us into an awkward position as responsible stewards of this gem.

We're on the lookout for additional maintainers in the short term and potentially new owners in the long term. Our immediate need is someone with context and experience to begin evaluating issues and pulls.

@joeyschoblaska has kindly offered to take over this gem if we can't find someone else, but ideally we'd find someone who uses this gem in their product and has some skin in the game.

If you use this gem in your products, please reach out so we can come up with a migration plan

Hi, I'm an engineer at Urban Airship, and a Ruby developer. You all have done a great job with this gem; it's been very helpful for me in the past. I'll ask around here about support for the gem.

@dogweather that would be great!

Hey @dogweather - have you had any luck finding a maintainer? I barely have the time to merge PRs and bump the gem version once in a while, so I'm hoping we can find someone who's able to give this project more attention than that.

@dogweather any news?

Closed! We've transfered.

@dogweather is there an email we can use to transfer gem ownership: http://guides.rubygems.org/command-reference/#gem-owner
