Motivation

Being an inland navigator, I started contributing to 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 boot Duesseldorf 2010
• dev meeting 2013
• booth set up at boot Duesseldorf 2014
• author at facebook
• development of strategies producing offline maps:
  • Catalogue_of_INT_Charts
  • Downloadable_Raster_Charts
• JOSM styles and presets:
  • CEVNI_MapCSS style
  • bridge/gate preset
• inland waterway maps and routing:
  • maps.grade.de
  • kap.grade.de
  • routino.grade.de

End of 2014 I lost confidence in OSeaM's code of conduct. Visit my last post at developer mailing list to get an idea about my frustration... Time to change, lets start this fork!
