***der.hans**: **ActivityPub: Decentralized Social Networking*
*Description*:
ActivityPub is a decentralized social networking protocol for allowing
various services to interact.
For instance, a long form blog engine can use an external microblogging
service for comments.
ActivityPub is based on the ActivityStream 2.0 data format. It provides
client to server APIs and server to server APIs for server to server
federating.
Attendees will learn about:
* Why decentralized social networking is useful
* The history of ActivityPub
* The history of decentralized social networking
* Overview of some activities available through ActivityPub
* List of services implementing ActivityPub
* Now what?
