#
dansup Yes, I am working on a federated image sharing webapp powered by laravel, redis, bootstrap and activitypub. The plan is only to consume objects with an image from the fediverse
#
dansup I've also started work on ActivityPub support for GNU Social, https://git.gnu.io/dansup/ActivityPub/tree/dev
#
dansup I've picked a name for the software, and have the .com/net/org and hope to use one of them as a test instance by the weekend.
#
dansup it won't be 100% done, but it will be a good start :)

@aph3lio I predict this standard will become extremely influential over the next few years: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ #Social #Decentralization (twitter.com/_/status/986451197920972800)

rektide saranix: i'm not sure what you mean by rfc8030 "middlebox". those are all optional. one can directly consume a rfc8030 as an end client, which makes it very very different than ldn.
#
rektide i really deeply apprciate that i can be behind a firewall & still get events delivered to me on rfc8030, without any middleboxes &c
#
rektide i reach out to a server, issue a request, and it http2 push'es responses at me over that connection
#
rektide that is so much easier to implement, so much more networkingly flexible, so much less infrastructure than is required for ldn
#
rektide saranix: the middlebox is there because a client shouldn't HAVE to maintain an open connection to each & every server it wants to gt messages from. but the protocol itself does not require that!

#
michiel hello, the server login tells me this channel is only for w3c staff, but is this the right place to ask beginner questions about ActivityPub?
#
fr33domlover michiel, yeah i think it's the right place
#
fr33domlover michiel, it's not just for w3c staff
#
fr33domlover (i'm not w3c staff or anything close to that :p)
#
michiel I've been thinking about building an interface to publish events (Meetup - ish) using ActivityPub. Conceivably, I could publish Event objects in an ActivityStream, right?
#
ajordan michiel: certainly
#
ajordan to all your questions
vasilakisfil__ joined the channel
#
fr33domlover michiel, events and event participation status is one of the use cases mentioned in the ActivityPub spec iirc
#
fr33domlover or even ActivityStreams
#
fr33domlover you can totally use these tools for this purpose
#
fr33domlover michiel, actually it seems to be a feature that faceb00k has but most free decentralized social networks don't
#
ajordan michiel: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#motivations-rsvp
#
fr33domlover (maybe friendica/hubzilla does? i don't think any of the others do)
#
ajordan lol pump.io has a bug on file for events I'm pretty sure
#
ajordan we never did anything about it
#
ajordan lol yep: https://github.com/pump-io/pump.io/issues/763

@KevinBankston ↩️ Important related question: what flavor of JSON? Would be great if it used the Activity Streams open standard for social media items, which FB actually helped develop back in the day but never used. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/ (twitter.com/_/status/986694735212363776)
