@freemo does the Discourse supporting Activity pub mean that at some point people on fedi can comment on, and make posts on articles threads on to qoto discourse forum ? (and others of course)
#ilovefs because writing open source software helps me to do my best and to learn from others.
I'd like to thank all the companies and institutions that employ people to work on open source because, without them, the software industry would be years behind where it is today.
Instead of making a computer’s processor out of electronic circuits, team of Grade 12 students of American British Academy had decided to make it out of dominoes. The team had planned to execute a 5-bit adder which will be able to add any numbers up to the sum of 63. The previous world record is a 4-bit adder that can only add up numbers up to 31.

Great Flag Tournament hosted by the Torbay Trojans today, very wet, very muddy but a good time had by all.
So I setup a list of maybe 30 highly active matrix rooms organized into Matrix Spaces on the QOTO Matrix server (though you can access them from any spaces enabled matrix server).
Just login to your existing matrix account on any server, or register for a free one at https://element.qoto.org (registration open to everyone). Then join any of the following spaces (make sure you turn on spaces in your config under labs first).
Please let me know if you have any rooms you'd like to suggest to be added to any of the below spaces. Also, feel free to create your own space and share it.
#QOTO_space:qoto.org - Rooms related to QOTO itself
#Fediverse_space:qoto.org - Various rooms from matrix servers that have a fediverse hosted as part of the same community.
#STEM_space:qoto.org - A collection of general topic STEM rooms like Electronics, Physics, Math, etc.
#Regional_space:qoto.org - Rooms specific to Countries, towns or regions around the world.
#Projects_space:qoto.org - Channels for various open-source projects
#linux-distros_space:qoto.org - Rooms for various linux distribtuion flavors.
