@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.
