ActivityPub for GNU Social GSoC
Christopher Allan Webber at 2018-04-24T13:53:05Z
Congrats to Diogo Cordeiro on getting a GSoC internship this summer to add ActivityPub to GNU Social! And thanks to GNU Social maintainer mmn-o for mentoring!
GNU Social is a social communication software used in federated social networks. In a federated social network user data stays in user's server instead of a centralized one. Given that, standards were created in order to make the communication between different softwares in a social federated context possible. ActivityPub is the newer and covers parts out of OStatus's specification, namely the app/client development. Because of this and other benefits, GNU Social is looking forward to support this new protocol. The project idea aims at developing a plugin (as GNU Social is true to the Unix-philosophy of small programs to do a small job) that will implement the ActivityPub Protocol in GNU Social.

Un mio caro amico greco ha risposto al mio annuncio della candidatura per la lista Tsipras con #Tsipras con queste parole. Le trovo bellissime e cariche di significati nei quali mi riconosco."Nell'Antigone Sofocle usa la parola deinós (δεινός), cioè la stupefacente capacità degli uomini di essere terribili e allo stesso tempo meravigliosi, di costruire e di distruggere. Di essere determinanti. Deiná è il suo plurale, perché l'uomo è sempre al plurale, e perché le strade della memoria e del futuro che noi vogliamo percorrerle insieme, ci portano a pensare:
- L'Europa. Le aperture fra umani attraverso la conoscenza, il con-essere che diventa con-essrci. Noi cerchiamo di costruire un Europa Aperta, Entità sovranazionale e ne facciamo memoria delle due Guerre Mondiali e dell'Auschwitz.
- Abbiamo un riferimento forte ai valori che ci muovono verso questa direzione Europea. Il primo è la constatazione che in questa Europa dell'apertura e della conoscenza, il figlio e la figlia non sono proprietà dei genitori; la moglie non è proprietà del marito e il cittadino non è proprietà dello Stato. Nella lista Tsipras, il pragmatismo comunicativo e relazionale non è un opportunismo che fa meno dei valori.
- In questa Europa esiste una minoranza transnazionale e ben radicata ai territori locali, sono gli "zingari" i rom. Maltrattati, ignorati e perseguitati in epoche di guerra e di pace sociale da i loro nemici
ma anche dai loro amici. Gli "zingari sono oscurati dalle sinistre per motivi di populismo radicale. La lista Tsipra non è una lista populista e in questa Europa che cambia con la lista Tsipras, i rom diventano soggetti di diritto. La presenza rom in Europa non è necessariamente subordinata ai servizi sociali o ai nazionalismi: nel contesto locale e internazionale, essa è una presenza generatrice di inter e transculturalità, di interessanti e singolari forme sociali e politiche di convivenza.
Spero ad una tua condivisione rispetto a questi tre punti, a mio avviso indispensabili per la partenza, il percorso che stiamo realizzando, e, spero, il buon esito dei risultati
un abbraccio,"Domenico Giusti, Stefano Costa likes this.

My personal email server has been running on a cranky old leased dedicated server for almost 8 years.
Tonight, I took the plunge and moved all the data and functionality to a new cheap SSD server at Digital Ocean.
It's working great, but just going through the motions made me pretty glum. Setting up an email server is a real pain in the ass, and if I didn't have working config files from the previous server, I'd have never got it working.
Email is something that everyone uses, every day. It's intrinsically federated.
We should really be working harder to make it easy for every family or individual to run an email server at home or on their own cloud server.Ryan Weal, testbeta, Joeboy, Tyng-Ruey Chuang and 15 others likes this.

Although looking at their previous choices, a lot of them seem to be just US presidents. Not particularly exciting.
There's always a lot of eyerolling about Time's PotY choices, but ever since they picked me a few years back, I'm willing to cut them some slack.Screwtape at 2013-12-12T12:08:20Z
