Zacharia Muindi	muindre	Kenya Covid-19 Tracker	Map Kibera has launched the Kenya COVID-19 Tracker Ushahidi Instance to document geospatial data, map out resources and services being offered to the community in response to Covid-19 and track cases across Kenya. The project will improve OSM basemaps in Kibera and other informal settlements of Nairobi to allow visualisation of current status and hotspots.
Harrison Cole	HarrisonCarto	Mapping Historically Black Colleges and Universities in OSM	Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are schools that were established exclusively for Black Americans prior to 1964. As of June 19th, 2020, their campuses are disproportionately undermapped in OSM relative to institutions with predominately white student populations. After putting out the call to map these campuses, volunteers have come together to submit thousands of edits and ensure that the campuses are represented properly. In this talk, I give a brief overview of how far the effort has come, and what still needs to be done.	Spreadsheet URL: tiny.cc/hbcuosm

John Bryant	John Bryant	OpenStreetMap Data Pacific	Interest in open geospatial is growing in Pacific Island countries, where budgets and data availability are big problems, but the OpenStreetMap community in the region is still small. This project aims to introduce Pacific "geo" people to OSM by providing a weekly extract of 14 countries in a GIS-friendly format, bundled with a QGIS project and enhanced with some basic cartography.

Nick Whitelegg	nickw	Hikar.js - bringing Hikar to the web	Hikar is an augmented reality app which overlays OSM ways on the camera feed of an Android device, and was presented last year at SOTM Heidelberg. The past year has seen a surge of interest in the three.js and A-Frame based augmented reality library AR.js, which allows AR apps to be developed for the web. This lightning talk summarises efforts so far to port Hikar to the web using AR.js.	Video uploaded

If we have questions concerning your lightning talk we would use your OSM username to contact you.

We schedule it shortly before the conference in one of the lightning talk slots of the SotM schedule. Please watch the schedule shortly before the conference and during the conference to know when your lightning talk takes place. We expect that you will be available during the conference for chatting with SotM attendees about your subject. At the moment, there is room for about 16 lightning talks, so we might have to select the best ones if there are more submissions.
