#introduction

My name is Evan Prodromou. I'm an Open Source software enthusiast, best known for my work in wikis and in social software.

I work as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation.

I live in Montreal, love to garden with native plants, make wine, cook, and live an examined life.

@evan this has to be one of the most under-stated introductions I have seen here!

So let me offer a better one: Evan is one of the reasons we are all here. He is credited as one of the creators of the protocol:
w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Back in the day (a decade ago), he also used to run the biggest instance of , identi.ca. My old account is still there, even though I have lost access to it:
identi.ca/rysiek

StatusNet was the precursor of fedi.

Welcome, Evan!

www.w3.orgActivityPubThe ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format. It provides a client to server API for creating, updating and deleting content, as well as a federated server to server API for delivering notifications and content.

Wow, that's a lot of people with ancient identi.ca accounts in replies to this!

I wonder if it would be possible to make identi.ca an activitypub-compatible instance?

WDYT, @evan?

@rysiek Yes, lots of us from the identi.ca days. I was there, too, at identi.ca/danyork

@evan - great to see you here at this address! 👋
