***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?
