Bernhard is an active participant in the OpenSeaMap project. His project 
to import data from the NGA List of Lights into the OSM database will 
result in the display of all those listed objects in the OSeaM map, 
since he is generating compatible tags.

The presentation he gave at CCC was aimed at a general audience (of 
computer geeks), not to mappers or mariners.
