At #FediDay, @julian presents how multiple #SciOp-instances could federate via ActivityPub 💜 Talk is being recorded, I'll share the link here asap
Julian presenting at cbase Berlin, he stands in front of a large slide:
Showing two SciOp-instances, the existing sciop.net one and a potential institutional one hosted at TIB Hanover.
Sciop.net being "volunteer-based, consensus-driven, nimble", while SciOp-TIB would be "institution-based, process-driven, predictable"

Linking both instances is ActivityPub: "Distributed, cooperative but independent governance"

Neat detail: the window coating has small gaps patterned with what looks like Voronoi tessellation (faint blue). I guess this is where the internet gets in!
Angled close-up shot of the train window, focusing on raindrops on the glass with a gray overcast sky as backdrop. The window has a blue-ish coating that has gaps with a semi-regular hexagonal pattern. It looks a bit like Voronoi tessellation. Presumably the gaps are to render the windows transparent for cellphone frequencies.
