I’m Johannes Ernst, current relevant projects: * FediForum: an unconference that aims to bring the people together who move the Fediverse forward https://fediforum.org/ * Dazzle: an early tech + governance project to get back our personal data from the big platform overlords taking advantage of recent data privacy laws and that will have ActivityPub support https://dazzle.town/ * UBOS: a Linux distro specifically made for self-hosting and some other things https://ubos.net/ * Occasional cat herder, e.g. March SWICG meeting, recent survey here, helping to put a Fediverse developer network together etc Previously relevant: * ca 2004-2010: Light-Weight Identity, which used URLs as identifiers for people and GPG key pairs to, among other things, send authenticated and encrypted messages from personal URL to personal URL. (Yes, I have an opinion on HTTP Signatures, payloads and how they should be used for social use cases …) * ca 2005-2010: Yadis (which got us XRD, in case you wonder about where WebFinger got it from) https://yadis.org/ * OpenID Foundation, the early days, before it became corporate. I believe we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity right now to actually make big parts of the web social, without big overlords in the middle, and I want to work with all of you on the shortest path from here to there. (Have ideas? I’m all ears.) So one thing I bring to this party is a sense of urgency :-) Cheers, Johannes. @j12t@social.coop More background: https://linkedin.com/in/jernst
