I hope more folks read this update on the OEAwards, and more so for what I slid in as a call for ongoing acts of open recognition via a very nifty tool created for us by @VisualThinkery

Awards are a BIG recognition, they take time and effort to write a nomination, and generally focus on important significant contributions. But what about something that is easy to do to give a recognition for a smaller scale action or support by a colleague or someone else in the community? Just an expression of appreciation.

Who would you give a “tip of a hat” to? Do you have 10 minutes to spare to make a remix?

Welcome to the [Hat Tip as Gratitude & Micro-recognition Remixer](https://remixer.visualthinkery.com/r/p2OKA1GxVV9nKrzIxmRl/1jbYeWQYDYGe61IflXOo). You can change hat styles, colors, and add a short message. Publish, save, and share, either privately or publicly.

Here is my hat tip to @paulhibbitts for all his contributions not only creating [Docsify-This](https://docsify-this.net/) web publishing tool, but continually improving it, and here, generously offering support to another person or organization interesting in making use of it.

I’m looking to assist 2-3 people or teams over the next few weeks in fully leveraging the open-source project [https://Docsify-This.net](https://docsify-this.net/) as part of a user research study - you’ll get personalized guidance to streamline your content publishing workflow, and your feedback will help improve the tool for everyone. Docsify-This is ideal if you have Markdown content you’d like to publish…

And specially for Paul, my hat tip includes Markdown 😉

If you send to someone, as I will do here, ask Paul to consider “hat tipping it forward” and creating a remix to thank someone else (except it can’t be me!) as a way to spread the idea.

Surely you can think of a person, team, project, heck even your favorite chatbot to give a hat tip. See for example @LauraHenderson [who got the idea and remixed her own hat tip](https://remixer.visualthinkery.com/r/xhwhKT1L2QjG7VUt2qTy/1jbYeWQYDYGe61IflXOo).

_Note:_ Indeed the hats and even the idea of hat tipping may not be universally known. @IslaHF shared some examples of [Zulu hats](https://zulubeads.com/products/copy-of-single-frame-beaded-zulu-hat-in-large) as well as [Peruvian style hats](https://www.thealbertan.com/innisfail-news/hats-off-to-peruvians-for-their-hats-6381442) with [many varieties](https://www.haroldhallphotography.com/the-important-peruvian-hats/).

What kinds of hats are significant from your part of the world? I bet we might convince @VisualThinkery to maybe expand the selection.
