Today is a very special day for the Diaspora project. It has been exactly one year since the guys released the Diaspora source code! For a year now, people have been able to contribute to this project and set up pods. And so they did! Till date, 7371 commits have been made by the contributors and the four founders. In only a years time, the amount of Diaspora users has grown from 4 to over 100.000, spread over lots of pods!
Of course this is but a teaser of what’s coming! It is rumoured that Diaspora will hit beta in November, on its Alpha release anniversary. With a video chat with VoIP in the works, the foundations of an API and further improvements to the interface on the horizon, there has not been a better time to join Diaspora!
I would like to congratulate Maxwell, Ilya, Dan, Raphael, Sarah and all the other contributors, whether they be programmers, translators, active community members or artists, with this beautiful achievement! You are all extremely awesome and it is a pleasure to work with you!
I will try to find the time to write a blog post about the first few weeks of the project somewhere next week. Now go find some pie (and scroll down for a bit if you like gifs)!
