Running RubyForge takes time, effort, and money. Many thanks to the folks listed below who are making it possible!

If RubyForge has been helpful to you, and you want to give something back to the Ruby community, please consider supporting RubyCentral. Thanks!


Sun Microsystems (thanks to efforts of Tim Bray) donated the current hardware.

Defender Hosting provides free bandwidth for the main server.

InfoEther, Inc purchased the first two rounds of hardware and provides system administration support.

Several folks provide file and RubyGem mirrors to help share the bandwidth load:

  • Peter Vanbroekhoven (xaop)- gems.xaop.com - RubyGem mirror
  • Dennis Oelkers (Lauschmusik) - rubyforge.rubyuser.de - both file and RubyGem mirror
  • Matthew Bloch (Bytemark) - (gems|files).rubyforge.vm.bytemark.co.uk - both file and RubyGem mirror
  • Manuel Subredu (RoEduNet Iasi) - rubyforge.iasi.roedu.net - both file and RubyGem mirror
  • Andreas Schwarz (Ruby-Forum) - rubyforge-(gems|files).ruby-forum.com - both file and RubyGem mirror
  • Matt Bauer (MMMultiworks)- (files|gems).rubyforge.mmmultiworks.com - both file and RubyGem mirror
  • Michael Noack (inoack)- (files.)?ruby.inoack.com - both file and RubyGem mirror

Kurt Dresner made the favicon.

Bruce Williams made the RubyForge default theme.

Gregory Brown monitors the support forum.

Mirrors emeritus:

Austin Ziegler (Halostatue) provided one of the first gem/file mirrors, and then provided a mirror for the Windows installer for quite a while.
