I wrote a thread related to this almost 2 years ago:

1/ I've been in the #openSource scene for a long time. From BEFORE this was even called "open-source" — back BEFORE the phrase "open-source" even got coined and became common. Here is a problem with most open-source software projects have, including most #Fediverse software —

Mastodon (mastodon.social)

The TL;DR is —

Most open-source software is created by software-engineers — and usually no one with UI, UX, or product backgrounds are involved.

Creating new products is a different skill-set — usually labeled under product, UX, and UI.

And, although some software-engineers have UX, UI, or product skills — most don't.
So, when they do open-source — they often just copy / mimick.

Could ActivityPub / ActivityStreams be used to synchronize files across separate machines / computers / devices‽

I think the answer is, YES.

❦

The inbox-outbox system could enable you to send messages between separate machines / computers / devices.

The 'messages' transfer the changed 'blocks' / 'chunks' that make up a file, notify about deletions, file creations, etc

Existing Activity Types might be sufficient to do this

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #JSONLD

@jjjacq

Thanks.

Corrected.

Organizers Log:

I continue to work on figuring out what it will cost to put on this Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon).

One question —

Should we give out Lanyards?

They are those things people are sometimes given at conferences that they put around their necks and usually some type of "badge" with their name on it, hangs from it

And if yes, should they be "branded"?

I know some people keep them as souvenirs

But they have a cost

Organizers Log: I am working on organizing a Fediverse conference in Canada In Alberta in particular. Probably in the city of Edmonton (I don't live in Alberta — I live in another part of Canada) Right now, I am trying to figure out how to get space for it in Edmonton. ( @jeffhorton@mstdn.ca , put me in touch with a couple people in Edmonton.) (I organized for about a decade — but stopped a little before my first child was born. So, I have done this type of thing before.) #DeSo #FediCon #Fediverse

@liaizon

I have been thinking about it (a Canadian Fediverse / Social Web conference).

Maybe put it in a city within driving distance of where @dansup lives, so that it is easy for him to attend

@andypiper

@andypiper

Cool, let's do that.

I am about to fly back home to Canada.

I will reach out to you, to schedule something, after I get back to Canada (and recover from the new jetlag I am about to experience).

@andypiper

I wanted to get a chance to chat with you.

But, you were pretty busy with organizing.

Maybe next year.

Wanted to attend the Social Web FOSDEM after-event at Hackerspace Brussels HSBXL.

And, did show up for a bit.

But my children had other plans, so we ended up leaving early.
