ActivityPub för WordPress
Jag följer utvecklingen av ActivityPub och tillhörande plattformar (där Mastodon är den mest kända) med stort intresse. Sedan jag lämnade Twitter – jag förstår den som är kvar, men för mig ger det en alltför sur eftersmak att skriva där – har jag blivit mer aktiv främst på LinkedIn, men skulle hellre se att en plattform med…

Open Source in Museums – Now What?
I didn’t participate in last week’s Museums and the Web conference in Los Angeles, but I followed the twitter conversation from home most nights (that’s what happens when there’s a 9 hour time difference). There were some MWXX sessions on open source – both software and hardware – but not much appeared on Twitter during those unfortunately. One related discussion was…

Open Source Museum Apps
Museum apps are becoming more and more common around the world. Very few apps, however, are available as open source. Considering the public funding of most museums, it might be interesting to discuss whether our apps should be released to the public more often. I know of three museum app codebases released with an open…
