#BlueBeanieDay #bbd2025


I am happy to announce that I will be joining the #W3C Technical Architecture Group as a full member on February 1, 2026.

The #TAG consists of twelve engineers worldwide whose task is to safeguard and extend the web through coordination, collaboration, and review.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me along the way.

fediverse question: Can an ActivitiPub instance bundle in a STMP server with E2EE and use it as private DMs. Email interfaces can be modern, it's chats with muscle. email protocol as is always made the analogy to explain the fediverse, is the second most wide standard after the web.
Shouldn't be it the protocol for private comunications between groups in the Fediverse?

TIL the World Wide Web Consortium changed their logo on 1 October

Just realizing that with the new W3C logo, my mug is now vintage.

Want Inkscape's Multi-page to work in web browsers (and other tools)?

Well my work today has been on moving our inkscape:page element to the SVG standard "view" element. Already supported in web browsers and hopefully supported someday in SVG viewers that use librsvg (are you interested @federicomena ?)

This will need testing and a migration for older data too. But I like more standards compliant files and less custom stuff in inkscape's svg.

I really don't understand why including a phallic symbol in the logo, which every developer I know called out as as their first response. This is really problematic if wanting to be inclusive and understanding broad perspectives across developer communities. #w3c

Missed this yesterday when the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced a new logo.

"The previous logo and tagline served us very well for more than twenty years. Our new logo captures our essence as a solid, innovative, and evolving organization."

Interesting!

On the #W3C blog @seth positions our new logo & tagline as one step towards achieving key strategic goals by raising awareness.

"While the web has had and will continue to have a significant impact on the global economy, ultimately our mission is far more than that, we make the web work — for everyone. In honor of #WorldStandardsDay please celebrate the impact of our work for an open web. Share with your network of contacts the many ways in which you can support us."

With great sadness we learned yesterday of the peaceful passing of @gkellogg last Saturday.
In the last 14 years, as a W3C Invited Expert, Gregg co-edited 9 standards and a dozen other specs. He also implemented them all and contributed test suites that #w3c groups are still using.
His implication in the JSON-LD Working Group, that he co-chaired, was instrumental to the success of JSON-LD.
For all this, but also his friendliness and good nature, he will be dearly missed.

#ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:

#ActivityPub is peanuts, right? All peanuts, all varieties, shapes and sizes. Isn't it peculiar then that six years after AP became a #W3C recommendation we are still all mostly eating from 1 small ingredient package of the primitive #ActivityStreams variety. One small bag to cook with, and supply us with rich #fediverse peanut butter. Isn't that becoming somewhat bland and boring?

Which recipe do you cook tomorrow?

#poll

  • Activystreams, the coca cola of the fediverse (80%, 8 votes)
  • Hell, no! I am going wild and crazy this time! (20%, 2 votes)

> Of the 68% of the world that are on the web actively, 70% of them are on 2G or 3G.

Also a recognition of the invaluable work done by W3C team.

> It's amazing that so many people from so many different parts of the world are working on this stuff.
