ActivityPub in GitLab

Note: I think this is a duplicate but I can't find the other issue where this was previously discussed. It is related to other discussions on federation. I think useful to have a discussion where notes on how ActivityPub is progressing in GitLab can be recorded. --- @oelmekki started work to in...

The external developer who started the work and was highly praised by Gitlab offered to work for them if they made a team around federation --> nothing.

A group of French universities are now considering making a group in order to work on it themselves and contribute back to Gitlab.

Gitlab will most likely use it as a big selling point once all the work has been done by externals with little to no cost to Gitlab.

    We are already in touch with GitLab, mainly to understand how their contributor community works [2].

    Now we try to build a team of contributors among our institutions.

    Good grief, here’s the quote once again. That’s what’s “stopping them”. And if you bothered to click on links, you’d have read that an event took place where they discussed how to contribute and what the goals of contributing are. The comment you quoted from even has a link to a very legible paper explaining what problems they face and how federation can help.

    But I get the feeling you just want to be angry at something and dislike universities for some reason. There’s no need to continue this “discussion”.
