@cwebber I guess the other way of saying this was that we didn't finish the job within the time allotted.
A bunch of people at W3C went to bat for us to extend our deadline.
I'm really grateful for that extra time that got us to publication.

@evan That's true. I am grateful that management was convinced. My time working with W3C staff was really good. And I am grateful also.
The story really is here that the process that lead to ActivityPub was scrappy. It has a lot of effects on the spec, but ultimately, being built by passionate people, and being advocated for by people who saw that passion, is really good.
There's a lot more to say. I'm tempted to write a bunch of retrospectives and analysis of the present moment on my blog. I dunno. I probably don't have the time, but it might be nice.
That was a hard time in my life. But it was good to work with people who cared. You among them, for certain! And I am proud of what we accomplished.
