Updates to the SFO Museum ActivityPub services

The ability for SFO Museum ActivityPub accounts to both signal and promote one another provides a mechanism where people can subscribe to a single (SFO Museum) account can keep up with everything that all the other (SFO Museum) accounts are talking about. The introduction of a message processing queue, currently just to handle nearby requests, opens up a whole world of possible interactions between people inside (and outside) the terminals and everything SFO Museum has to offer. These small incremental changes and small and incremental in keeping with our goal “to keep things simple and prove that everything can work in a low-cost serverless environment without the need for a lot of babysitting”.

Holding Hands with the “Fediverse” – ActivityPub at SFO Museum

SFO Museum has joined the “Fediverse”. We have begun to operate a series of automated “bot” accounts that are published using the ActivityPub protocols which can be subscribed to from any client, like Mastodon, that supports those standards. These are automated, low-frequency, accounts and they currently only support a limited set of interactions: Accounts can be followed or unfollowed, individual posts can be “liked”, “boosted” or replied to but those replies will not be answered (yet) or published on the SFO Museum websites. To get started we’ve created three “groups” of accounts: Things which have happened recently involving the SFO Museum Aviation Collection; Things which have happened in the terminals (new and old) and; Things from the collection which are related to flights in and out of SFO.
