Evan Prodromou Launches the Social Web Foundation


A new organization emerges to help tackle some of the challenges the Fediverse faces, from advocacy and policy to training and tooling.

In a gesture that’s been a long time coming, Evan Prodromou, co-author of the ActivityPub protocol, has launched The Social Web Foundation. In addition to producing material for end users, the organization intends to advocate towards individual developers, businesses, and nonprofit entities, and provide them with resources explaining how they might benefit, and how to get started. At time of launch, the SWF will have access to more than 20 dedicated advisors, who will guide the organization on current problem areas their own efforts are facing, and provide insights on how to move forward and make progress.
