AboutEdit

This page provides the basis for a lightning talk at State of the Map 2018 in Milano, given on Saturday, July 28, 2018, in room S.1.5, which starts at 14:10 local time (UTC+2). The talk was meant to be accompanied by a workshop, but that workshop did not make it onto the conference program. Instead, we will have a "OSM and Wikimedia" meetup at 17:10 today in room S.1.6.
