I’m very EXCITED about my guest today. I’m so excited I took a shower, shaved my head and face, wore my BEST t-shirt and shorts, and I even brushed my teeth! TO be fair I do all those things daily and I was out doing yard work earlier and needed a shower, BUT if I hadn’t, I still would have done it for my guest!

With me today is Dansup! Dansup is “just a guy from canada building things for the fediverse”. No one big. You probably don’t even know him … oh wait … I’m being told he’s made a few things and that he’s “an aspiring astronaut, community creator and determined dreamer. - Currently building Pixelfed.org, an ethical and federated photo sharing platform powered by ActivityPub..”

With me today is Robert Kingett! Robert is a writer of fiction and nonfiction as well as a technical writer and accessibility specialist. Robert has been helping with disability access improvements in the Fediverse. His biggest contributions have been to the open source and federated book review application Bookwyrm. Robert is blind and has a stutter. He has very deep thoughts on old people, taxes, and animals. And finds Santa Claus to be very rude that he never responds to children’s letters. So Robert I’m not disabled and haven’t really worked around anyone that’s been disabled, so if you have any suggestions for me going forward, please do not hesitate to help me learn.

With me today is Johannes! I met Johannes when I found out about the FediForum. FediForum is the “unconference for the people who move the open social web forward.” I want to read Johanne’s description on his j12t.org page as I just love it:

“I believe the world is better if people are in control of their own destiny. In technology, that means we need to control our data, freely choose the software we use with our data and fairly negotiate the terms by which we interact with others, including which data is and isn’t shared. Not a fan of overlords, in politics and in technology.

Very excited about the opportunities on the resurging open social web / the Fediverse.

Johannes’ impressive current list of projects include Dazzle Labs, FediDevs, FediForum, FedTest and UBOS. As well as many other and previous projects.

With me today is Laurin! Laurin has been a climate activist sine 2019 and is currently working part time on ActivityPods thanks to NLNet. ActivityPods are meant to bring Sir Tim Burnerss Lee’s, father of the modern internet, Solid Pod technology and combine it with ActivityPub the protocol that powers the Fediverse. That has to be some of the most technical things I’ve ever talked about. Laurin, welcome and thank you for taking the time to talk with me.
