Thank you Jan, Jan and Stevie for the nice welcoming!
You'll be hearing a lot from me on this list. At the moment, I'm making
an issues overview which aims at listing issues currently in the EU
legislative pipeline that may affect Wikimedia activities in one way or
another. The overview, which will be up soon in unfinished form, will
give a brief description of each proposal, explain where in the
legislative process the proposal currently is and discuss how it may
affect Wikimedia projects. This will be a starting point for the process
of prioritizing. Any additions and edits from others will be greatly
appreciated.
I'm also diving into the projects that Dimi already has up to speed.
My organizational affiliation is with the Swedish Wikimedia, so I report
to the Swedish office. That being said, since most proposals we deal
with are of a pan-European nature I'm looking forward to working with
you all for better EU regulation.
speak to you soon,
Karl

Dear Karl, all
Thanks for your support and welcome aboard the EU spaceship! As said during the
netpolitics beer, it's great to have you over! :))

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
