Do you want to introduce the fediverse and/or Bluesky to your organization -- in addition to, or instead of, X & Meta?
Through Feb, Mar and Apr, I'll be offering free one-hour sessions on Fridays to talk to your org. For-profit, non-profit, gov, edu, etc. This is not a consultancy; this is volunteer advocacy and support for building our collective independence from X & Meta.
If you are interested, book a slot through this link (starting Feb 7). Time is not movable. :)
New from our team: A PHP implementation of RFC 9180 (HPKE - Hybrid Public-Key Encryption):
https://github.com/paragonie/hpke-php
This should serve as building block for more secure protocols (i.e., RFC 9420 a.k.a. Messaging Layer Security)/
This would, in turn, enable PHP developers to write software that communicates with MLS-compatible end-to-end encrypted messaging services.
