Presenting ActivityBot at FOSDEM

· 4 comments · 350 words · Viewed ~229 times.

Because I'm an optimist, I submitted a few talks to FOSDEM in the hope one might be accepted. Because I'm lucky, I got two speaking slots. Because I'm an idiot, I decided to do both talks. On the same day. An hour apart. On opposite ends of the venue.

Fool!

My first talk was at the Social Web Birds-of-a-Feather session. I told people about my ActivityBot social networking server and how I built it into a single file. In the spirit of minimalism, I only had 8 minutes to present. Time for a speed-run!

Sadly / Luckily there's no audio or video of the session (if you have some, let me know) so you'll have to make do with some slides. Speaker notes are included - read them rapidly for the full effect!

I built an ActivityPub bot server in 64KB of PHP. Sorry!

    @Edent Yeah, I'm a fan. 🙂 There's this perception sometimes that you can't do ActivityPub without three Docker containers and 8 CPU cores, which is worth having a counter-narrative for. Also, simple bots are IMO the best way to learn and experiment with the protocol. Anyone's first ActivityPub project should be a bot, not a full social platform.
