Good news Lars, in any case the result is not to have a high number of associate, but to keep them ;)

If you consider that Sweden has 1/9 the population of Germany (9 million vs. 82 million), we already have 1/9 of the membership of the German chapter (342 / 9 = 38). We're not in a competition, of course, but as a new starting association we're looking for any benchmarks, role models and guidelines that we can follow.
Is there any financial information from the Foundation on what amount of its costs and incomes can be connected to Sweden? I would personally find it interesting to know where we are today, so we can see if we're improving or not. There is a risk of course that people donate to the Swedish chapter, where we dillute the money on irrelevant or failed campaigns, instead of supporting the Foundation as we should. I certainly hope that we'll do more good than harm, but are there any numbers to help us show this?
