Hello! Welcome to the monthly update. During June, our work was supported by Handshake, Stripe, Triplebyte, Bleacher Report, and many others.

We had a quieter month in June, but both Ruby Me apprentices and Google Summer of Code students continued to work on Ruby open source projects.

It also saw improvements to the Fastly and Nginx configuration that will help us make it faster for newly uploaded gems to be able to be installed. Email notifications got visual design, password resets gained support for 2FA, API keys are now reset at the same time as passwords, and administrators now have more automation to deal with malicious gems or users more easily.
