SocialHub at OFFDEM

I will be attending!

Topics I would be interested in discussing:

ActivityPub for communities, social and civic organizations

How is (or could) ActivityPub be used in communities, social and civic organizations? What are the currently ongoing projects?

Related projects include:

Event Sourcing

Event Sourcing means maintaining the state of a system by tracking the sequence of changes to the system. Activities in ActivityPub are events that describe a change in the system state. To what extent can ActivityPub be seen as an event sourcing system. What is the minimal amount of state that needs to be held to implement an ActivityPub server? What is the minimal amount of state mutation that needs to be implemented?

Capability-based security

Work by @cwebber and the keynote by Mark S. Miller at ActivityPubConf 2019 have stirred my interest in capability-based security.

  • What is current state of implementing this in ActivityPub?
  • Any experiences with existing systems using capability-based security?
