It's too long for a recap, but I'm giving myself a pass on this one.
OpenHistoricalMapHad a great time presenting about how OHM & #Wikimedia can be used together at @WikiConferenceNA. The focus of our talk was on how OHM data's tagging can include to add source information not just for geometry, but also for attributes, and that all of this is easily downloadable for reuse.
Check out the presentation here and let us know what we have missed or gotten wrong!

Chris KoernerWikimedian of the Year @HannahClover just gave a very vulnerable and encouraging keynote on the closing day of WikiConference North America. Inspired by her story, and tenacity, a few of us at the conference got together and have started a fund. To help Hannah and future young Wikimedians. Hannah is this year’s recipient and this fund will continue into the future. If you can donate or share, both are equally welcome.

Lightning talk at #wikimania about POV-pushing via maps. Reminds me of a presentation by @Carwil at #wikiconferencena a few years ago regarding (IIRC) the erasure of indigenous names in maps on enwiki
