Blog post on a contributor success story (Kik on ActivityPub)

I did an interview over email with the contributor Kik. This contributor has also been featured in a YouTube video that received more than 9K views, as well as 82 comments. Together with @derekferguson, he's implementing in small iterations towards a new GitLab feature, while collaborating with GitLab team members to find the smallest next step together.

MRs:

• gitlab-org/gitlab!123674 (merged)
• gitlab-org/gitlab!127023 (merged) (a lot of collab!)

Epic:

• gitlab-org&11247

My aim with thie article is to tell a success story about getting community contributions merged into GitLab.

I'd like to avoid unintentionally making false promises on the direction GitLab (the product) will take as a result of these contributions. Perhaps many of the opinions should be moved to another location, except for the necessary bits that explain where his passion came from.
