| 14:00-15:00 | ATProto and ActivityPub: Frenemies or BFFs? | Darius |
ATProto and ActivityPub “done right” might actually converge to the same thing. Potential topics include: 1) What would bringing a PDS model to the ActivityPub world look like, and is that compatible with the client-to-server AP spec? 2) What could bringing DIDs to ActivityPub accomplish for the social web? 3) Are there ActivityPub-style delivery-based models that ATProto can piggyback on for more “closed-world” sub-networks? 4) …and of course, much more. |

| 14:00-15:00 | Micropayments | Georgia Bullen | What might micropayments on ATProto look like |
| 15:00-16:00 | Building new "services" on ATProto | Ms. Boba | When you implement a labeler, one of the first operations you do is adding a “service” to your PLC document marking your PDS as a labeler service. This is a really interesting pattern which (as far as I know) is only reserved for labelers right now. Could we use it for more services? And how could we make it easier for clients to support additional services? |
| 16:00-17:00 | Creating A Network of Tech Co-Ops | coopsource / maxine.science | In a similar vein to what @jdp23.thenexus.today added, building a network of software cooperatives will require a social network with both private (within or between co-ops) and public facing systems. atprotocol might also prove useful in other parts of the systems/network and I am looking at several possibilities. Suggestions welcome! |
