October 2024 Meeting
The October 2024 meeting of LRUG will be on Monday the 14th of October, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm (meeting starts at 6:30pm).
This month we're hosted by the lovely folk at Zappi in their offices, on Camden High St. Full venue and registration details are given below.
Agenda
Fighting Enshittification with ActivityPub
James Smith says:
ActivityPub is the protocol that powers the Fediverse, a web of social sites like Mastodon, PixelFed, and a host of other free and open source tools. I’ll explain what ActivityPub is, how it works, and discuss the Federails Rails engine which allows you to add federation into your existing Rails web apps. By breaking open the silos of existing social media like this, we can fight the enshittification of the web and reclaim a bit of power from the massive companies that own our online lives.
Afterwards
When the talks come to an end we'll decamp to a local pub for some food, some drinks and some chat with your fellow attendees.
Of course, even though this is the socialising part and seems more informal, please remember that still we consider it to be a part of the meeting and covered by our code of conduct.
Venue & Registration
Prior to attending you should familiarise yourself with our README paying close attention to the code of conduct which applies to all attendees.
Secure your place
Hopefully you all remember that physical meetings involve finite space and so to be guaranteed entry you need to register via ticket tailor.
We are trialling a new ticketing platform, Ticket Tailor. Do let us know how you find the user flow on it.

The venue has a hard limit of 100 people. If you register and realise you can't come, please use eventbrite to give up your place so we can someone else come in your place. We might be able to let in people on the night who haven't registered, but we can't guarantee it.
