ActivityPub in GitLab

Note: I think this is a duplicate but I can't find the other issue where this was previously discussed. It is related to other discussions on federation. I think useful to have a discussion where notes on how ActivityPub is progressing in GitLab can be recorded. --- @oelmekki started work to in...

The external developer who started the work and was highly praised by Gitlab offered to work for them if they made a team around federation --> nothing.

A group of French universities are now considering making a group in order to work on it themselves and contribute back to Gitlab.

Gitlab will most likely use it as a big selling point once all the work has been done by externals with little to no cost to Gitlab.

    They may advertise it, but they’d be working on it themselves if they thought it would bring in serious revenue.

        GitLab, Inc is a business and it’s not run by idiots. If federation was going to make them a bunch of money, they’d put a team on it. Relying on an outside group to execute your business goals is terrible management. It’s clear federation is not one of their business goals.
