The Social Web Foundation is launching today. It's a non-profit for the W3C standard, ActivityPub. But it *doesn't* include Bluesky, and W3C's founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee does not appear to even use the fediverse. So clearly there is work to do. But the SWF looks promising nonetheless. Well done @evan and friends. https://thenewstack.io/social-web-foundation-launched-how-in-is-w3c-on-fediverse/ #Fediverse

My apologies, I have become *that guy* and jumped the gun on the press release. It was supposed to be 9am PT not ET #JournoShame Fortunately, the SWF team is rapidly rolling it out now.

@ricmac No shame! It's on me; I didn't give you a time zone.

@ricmac @evan I was also wondering, why TBL seems not to be on the Fediverse. Maybe its beacuse he is involved with the https://solidproject.org/ which is a peer-to-peer networking and web decentralization project? A quick search shows that there are activities to implement Solid<->Activity Pub integration... https://github.com/nodeSolidServer/node-solid-server/issues/621 TBL commented on the issue, that an AP implementation for solid "could be useful"...

tim uses solid as his operating system and won’t personally connect with software not on it
this is a project that could get personal activity pub data stored on solid
ActivityPods - Personal data spaces powered with ActivityPub
Brings together ActivityPub and Solid Pods and empowers developers to create truly decentralized applications.
ActivityPods (activitypods.org)
i think whenever someone codes a pathway for tim, he’ll use this.

@ricmac I do want to note that the @w3c has been a steadfast supporter of ActivityPub. They host the Social Web Incubator Community Group and publish the documents that define the standard. We'll be meeting to discuss ActivityPub enhancements at TPAC, the W3C annual conference, this week. And w3c.social is one of the oldest instances on the fediverse, where dozens of w3c staff, member representatives and volunteers have their accounts. The W3C has our back.
