+100 Johannes!

So proud of everyone that contributed to turn the fledgling ActivityStrea.ms ( http://activitystrea.ms/ ) initiative into a formidable protocol that may yet open up a decentralized, interoperable social web.

This kind of achievement doesn't come for free nor without persistence, and I'm fully aware that most of the hard work has happened more recently than when we started out nearly 15 years ago to the day:
