@evan 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!

Thank you @rysiek for correcting the record. I was in the room as #ActivityPub was matured and established as a #W3C standard. @evan was co-chair of that #SocialWebWG & co-editor of the spec. Plus, he may have brought @cwebber to the group, & perhaps others as well (Jessica Tallon?). (Apologies I don’t remember.) Instrumental effort, IOW! Not to mention his previous various contributions. And, he’s such a nice guy. Yay Evan!
