    Huh, I'd missed that Mark Zuckerberg prioritized learning about decentralization for 2018. Maybe he'll start coming to Social Web Community Group meetings . Or buy out nextcloud . Or withknown . Uh huh.

    Kudos to everyone who has made ActivityPub a success!

    A lot of people are praising my work on ActivityPub and I really appreciate that. AP was a group effort though and I want to make sure other people get the credit they deserve. Here's a (non-exhaustive) list of some people who helped make AP happen:

    Maybe now's a good time to mention: I'll be speaking at Libreplanet 2018 on the state of federation. Clearly with ActivityPub making it to recommendation, there's a lot to say :) My spouse will also be speaking on a panel about academia and free software. Good times!

    This article on federated social networks was written last month in LWN, but somehow I didn't see it until today. It's good though!

    "One thing you may have noticed in the last decade is that many decentralized free software social networking applications have been written. Sadly, most of those applications can't actually speak to each other -- a fractured federation."

    Victory for libre networks: ActivityPub is now a W3C recommended standard Guest post by me on the blog. Thrilled to write it!
