Read about #Encyclia by @jfietkau and plans to bring more #OpenScience to our #fediverse
https://discuss.coding.social/t/my-current-goals-for-activitypub-and-academic-data/750
There are multiple other #ActivityPub projects that share interests to connect more tightly the academic world to the #SocialWeb.
Backed by #NGI0 @nlnet funding there is the very promising @bonfire and #Plaudit in earlier rounds (#WebMentions, not fedi).
We should align on #OpenStandards
https://encyclia.pub
https://bonfirenetworks.org
https://plaudit.pub
Another 45 FOSS projects have been selected for the #NGI0 Commons Fund. We want to thank the project teams for their contribution to a free and open internet. In a world increasingly in the grip of proprietary technologies and those who control them, we are proud to be supporting people who choose to work on the digital commons: shared digital assets that serve not the few but the many.
Come over to read what each project is working on.
