Discussion – Topic: ActivityPub

This week’s topic: ActivityPub

As described in Thoughtworks Technology Radar Vol. #29.

With the current upheaval in the micro-blogging platform space, the ActivityPub protocol is gaining prominence. ActivityPub is an open protocol for sharing information such as posts, publications and dates. It can be used to implement a social media platform, but the key benefit is that it delivers interoperability between different social media platforms. We expect ActivityPub will play a significant role in this space, but we’re mentioning it here because we’re intrigued by the possibilities beyond the obvious use cases in social media. An example is ActivityPub support for merge requests, recently proposed for GitLab.

Zoom link will be added about 10 min before the event starts.
