#apconf2020's live parts are now open to non-registrants... in ~15 minutes I'll be doing my Q&A on "Spritely & Federation Futures" and there's plenty of other great talks lined up too! https://conf.activitypub.rocks/#live

Wrapping things up is Darius Kazemi (@darius) presenting "Let's Play and Win Our Own Game"!
