Many Filipinos have a soft spot for telenovelas and drama, so this month we will spend some time discussing the recent Ruby Fireworks and what it could mean for one of the cornerstones of our open-source ecosystem.

If you want to learn more, here is a very comprehensive and impartial article with lots of links to explore the different perspectives and stakeholders involved.
