== Motivation ==
Being an inland navigator, I started contributing to [http://freietonne.de freietonne.de]. I liked their easy to use editor in first place. Digging deeper, I noticed the well structured tagging-scheme approach of OSeaM and switched to JOSM as an fully featured editor. 
Back in 2010 I started supporting OSeaM:
* booth set up at [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Boot_D%C3%BCsseldorf_2010 boot Duesseldorf 2010]
* [http://wiki.openseamap.org/wiki/OpenSeaMap-dev:7._Entwicklerwochenende dev meeting 2013]
* booth set up at [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Boot_D%C3%BCsseldorf_2014 boot Duesseldorf 2014]
* author at [http://wiki.openseamap.org/wiki/OpenSeaMap-dev:De:Facebook_Online_Redaktion facebook]
* development of strategies producing offline maps:

** [http://wiki.openseamap.org/wiki/OpenSeaMap-dev:Downloadable_Raster_Charts Downloadable_Raster_Charts]
* JOSM styles and presets:
** [https://github.com/OpenSeaMap/josm/blob/master/CEVNI_MapCSS.mapcss CEVNI_MapCSS style]
** [https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Presets/OpenSeaMap_bridge bridge/gate preset]
* inland waterway maps and routing:
** [http://maps.grade.de/ maps.grade.de]
** [http://kap.grade.de/ kap.grade.de]
** [http://routino.grade.de routino.grade.de]
End of 2014 I lost confidence in OSeaM's code of conduct. Visit my last post at [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openseamap.devel/4220 developer mailing list] to get an idea about my frustration...
