Well, after an initial failure, my #NLNet grant application for #GoActivityPub has been accepted under the NGI0 Commons Fund. 💪

This means that for the next months my main focus will be fully on making #ActivityPub in the #Go programming language easier for other developers.

If you're one of them, reach out, I want to know what you struggle with and how I can help with that.

I'm also happy to see other projects in the Go ecosystem showing up there, hopefully some day they'll choose the correct library for their ActivityPub implementation. ;;)

@mariusor Congratulations! 🥳

HUGE! Congrats!

@forgejo this could possibly be relevant to some aspects of forge federation? (Or automatically announcing releases on social media, heh.)

@agaric I think the ActivityPub work on @forgejo already uses GoActivityPub, though I haven't heard from the developers in a long time, so I have no idea if that's still the case.

@mariusor congratulations 🎉

On this topic, calling all #Go #developers interested in lending a hand.

I have two major goals for increasing the unit-test coverage in the individual packages that #GoActivityPub is comprised of.

These are tasks that are very accessible even for people new to the #ActivityPub spec and I would prefer to support new developers that want to give it a try than wait until I have time to do them myself.

The only requirement I have is that if you want to help, you already have some public Go projects that I can have a look at.

Point of contact is on this email (after you "deobfuscate" it): goap＠federated·id
