[FOSS4G2017] Kids Map Gallery

[Jeff McKenna]

Heather if you ever need a wiki page renamed (or "moved") let me know. 
And thanks for openly championing this committee, really great way to 
get interest in FOSS4G Boston! :)

I would then make a new wiki for Competitions Committee, which would run the map gallery and potentially the iron map. I would put me, Jeff, Diana if she's game, and what about you, Keith?
