Hi Jan,
I am very, very sorry to see you go. You are a wonderful colleague - and
a source of sanity and calm in the group of chapter ED's.

All,
For the last three years I have been the Executive Director for Wikimedia
Sverige. Before that I have been Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary of the
board (at different times) and have been involved since the founding of
the
chapter in 2007. It is perhaps even an
understatement to say that the
chapter has been a big part of my life. I have had the opportunity to be
part of a fantastic journey from starting the first chapter’s activities
to
today, with stable strategic activities, seven
people in the office, and
a
diversified board. It has been an awesome time in
my life and I have met
and worked with some truly wonderful persons along the way, and I am
thankful to all of you that have made it so inspiring. But now, as my
contract is about to come to an end, I feel that it is time for me to
move
on to new endeavours. I am confident that the
chapter is already in good
hands, with a professional board and an office with experienced staff
members and functional processes, but I’ll be around until at least the
beginning of January to make it a smooth transition.
I will obviously always be a wikimedian at heart and probably pick up on
my
editing again and I will also stay subscribed to
most mailing lists. If
not
earlier, I’ll see you in Esino Lario.
Best regards,
*Jan Ainali*

Hoi,
My compliment is that you have been a wonderful person. I did not realise
that you had another function. You just did well. So thank you for that.
You did good.
Thanks,

Jan,
Thanks for all of your work. The Swedish Wikipedia is a very inspiring
project for me as a Dutch Wikimedian and I have been following (somewhat
jealously) how the WMSE community responds to new innovations. Under your
leadership I think your Swedish Wikipedia community looks quite healthy (as
least it does to me, as an outsider).
good luck with any future plans you have,
Jane

It is almost on the day 8 years since Jan and I joined the first WMSE
board. And while we were many getting the chapters up and running, Jan
did in many ways play a crucial role. When we were in internal turmoil,
it was Jan who stepped in and took care of the critical task and saved
the day. And even more important it was Jan who early on spotted the
opportunity in the idea of the "new" chapters. And as an volunteer he
and Holger spend almost a year filling in application forms, budgets
etc, which become the excellent base for the fully fledged chapter that
been here since
Kudos for all what you have done and wishing you all the best for the
future!

Dear Jan,
Thank you very much for your immense contributions to the movement!
Not the least of those is your ability to be (and I quote Sandra Rientjes)
'a source of sanity and calm'.
I can't vow for chapter meetings as Sandra does, but I have seen a lot of
that on public mailing lists.
Happy editing!
Erik
