Activity Streams in Practice: Building Storyfeed for Laravel

This month we're having a talk from GPUG member Jasper Tey! Here is Jasper's description of his talk:

"We all recognize activity streams from social media, but what goes into building one? This talk explores the mechanics behind the pattern, with Facebook’s News Feed, Activity Streams 1.0 and the W3C’s Activity Streams 2.0 as reference points.
Over 16 years building applications for clients, my rough implementations left gaps I never had the time to fully resolve. Now building independently at Tey Labs, I've revisited the pattern and rebuilt the architecture from scratch. The result of that R&D is Storyfeed for Laravel."

This event will take place at our Vehikl's new location. The doors will be locked, but there will be a QR code on the door that you can scan to let someone know you're there.

If this is your first time at the new location, this is the South-most building of the former RIM campus. When heading East on Labrador Drive, see the building on the right after The Timeless Material Company. The parking garage is closed, but there is parking on either side and on the roof of the garage. Once parked, you can find the entrance across from the garage. If taking the bus, your best bet is to take the 202 Express and get off at the University/Northfield Technology Park stop. From there, walk to the round about and head south into the technology park.

Our sincere thanks to Vehikl for continuing to provide the venue, food, and beverages. Please be sure to RSVP so we can plan appropriately for catering.
