I've made a personal tool to combine most posts on #GetFediHired, maybe you find it helpful too.
Working full time on the Social Web
In January 2026, I will begin working full time in my role as Director at the Social Web Foundation. I am looking forward to the challenge of growing this young non-profit and fulfilling our mission to make a bigger, better Fediverse.
As a refresher: I have been working in the area of federated social networks since starting Identi.ca in 2008. Federated social networks are social platforms that let users on one platform connect to and interact with users on another platform. Linked up with open standard protocols, these platforms together form a Social Web that puts people first.
In 2018, I was a co-author of the ActivityPub standard for social network interoperability. I currently maintain the spec for the W3C and develop extensions for it. In 2024, I wrote ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web for O’Reilly Media. And I co-founded the Social Web Foundation to further encourage the use of ActivityPub in social networks.
For the last year, I’ve been working nights, lunchtimes and weekends on SWF while holding down my full-time role as Director of Open Technology at the Open Earth Foundation. I love working at OEF; the organization build Open Source software to help cities fight climate change. I have felt very fulfilled in my work there, and I’ve made really strong friendships with the team. It’s been a very special place to work that has changed how I think teams can be.
But over the last year, SWF has had some really amazing opportunities, and in 2026 we’ll be making some big steps forward for the Social Web. I can’t keep doing both jobs, and I feel like, after 4 years at OEF, I’ve done what I can to build up that organization, and I am ready to start on this next one.
It will feel good to have my full attention focused on the Social Web. I’m looking forward to seeing my Open Source friends at FOSDEM 2026 in Brussels at the end of January where I’m helping to organize the Social Web track. I’m speaking at Princeton mid-February, and I’ll be in the Bay Area at the beginning of March. All this time, I’ll be working hard to get the next version of ActivityPub released and to push out several software projects to make the Social Web more fun and interesting.
Thanks to everyone who’s put time, effort and help into the SWF. Thanks to my coworkers at OEF for encouraging me on my next steps in my career. Thanks to my wife and family for tolerating yet another leap into the void.
I hope you have as exciting a New Year as I will.
Is there already an ActivityPub vocabulary for job openings, or cvs?
I'm trying to make my CV-webpage more visible, and also create a job-bot, that everyone can set up with their sources, and queries.
Obviously the idea is, to help people find jobs, and fill vacancies, without having to resort to a centralized network, like e.g. LinkedIn.
I'm aware of these efforts, though they're not ActivityPub related:

This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday. The school I work for is closing my department
I’ve worked there for 15 years & the current teaching staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Just outrageously good teachers. Students love us. We absolutely rock
Unfortunately, management did their jobs really badly, so now teachers are unemployed (don’t worry - managers get to stay, phew!)
This is how shocked Max was when I told him
I'm looking for a part-time, fully remote #job.
My main occupation is Mission:Libre, a project to inspire young people between the ages of 11 and 14 to join the free software movement. This job would help me live while I keep building on Mission:Libre.
My skills are in customer service, communications, writing and project planning. I'm also good at clerical work and bookkeeping. And of course, I have an interest in technology.
Time zones aren't an issue for me.
We're hiring for a part-time position in Finance & Operations at @Mastodon. Fluent German and English language skills are a requirement. In terms of location it's a hybrid role so we're looking for candidates in #berlin or #vienna. I believe this is a rare opportunity to learn about the organisational side of technology non-profits and open source.

We should be wise about what we labor for.
We do too much for nothing.
Too much labor, too many resources, too much waste. For not much good, but a lot of generational & existential harm. We could get rid of 90% of it and live better.
Working not because we must ‘make a living’ but work to make a better life for all.
Choosing what we extract from the earth more responsibly.
Raise your standards! (Pun intended)
