#introduction

My name is Evan Prodromou. I'm an Open Source software enthusiast, best known for my work in wikis and in social software.

I work as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation.

I live in Montreal, love to garden with native plants, make wine, cook, and live an examined life.
and I hope you'll come to #fosdem in #Brussels in February 2023 and I can put you up and invite you for dinner at home and to the high school where I teach for a conference on what drives you and your best achievements. Thanks
hello Evan very nice to meet you 😊 I'm a Dutch German Australian ecologist based around Sydney who walks a lot 😄 I'm also an OSS enthusiast and would love to be smarter to understand things better 👋 I love capers and mangoes
Hey Evan, I'm an Ambassador for Software Heritage although I am a man of diverse interests and mostly Toot art, music, song lyrics and links to podcasts 🙆🏻‍♂️

Here is the latest newsletter from #SoftwareHeritage: https://softwareheritage.org/newsletter/

#softwaresustainability #openscience
this has to be one of the most under-stated introductions I have seen here!

So let me offer a better one: Evan is one of the reasons we are all here. He is credited as one of the creators of the #ActivityPub protocol:
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Back in the day (a decade ago), he also used to run the biggest instance of #StatusNet, identi.ca. My old account is still there, even though I have lost access to it:
https://identi.ca/rysiek

StatusNet was the precursor of fedi.

Welcome, Evan!

Also absolutely great moustache 🙋🏻‍♂️
Hi Evan, I remember you from Status.net which I have missed. I now see what's there is actually useful. At least the domain is not wasted!
thanks I guess. Unrelated to me, btw.
