Hello, everybody!
I am happy to report that as of this month my loneliness in Brussels has
effectively been cured. Not only did we found Wikimedia Belgium [1][2], but
we now also have a second permanent Weasel in Brussels! Please meet Karl
from Sweden (signed up to this list).
Karl [3][4] is a member of Wikimedia Sverige and has been has been sitting
in the Swedish National Assembly for 8 years representing the County of
Stockholm district. After being member of the Swedish parliament for two
terms he decided he wants to deal with copyright issues on a more
international scale. He thus contacted us and moved permanently to Brussels
to help out with our EU policy efforts.
I am very glad to have him on board, not only because of expertise,
political savoir-faire and network, but also because him being here reduces
the risk of me succumbing to cabin fever :)
I hope you join me in welcoming him!
Have a wonderful week, everyone!
Dimi
