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.
Huge thanks for everything you have done to help grow the chapter and
provide leadership!
I am very impressed and inspired by all the great stuff Wikimedia Sverige
has been doing, including Wikidata-related (e.g. the menu challenge and
visualiztion challenge) and GLAM initatives.
I am sure the chapter will do just fine with new leadership, and would be
great to have you back as a community person. :)
(PS. and was cool to visit on Monday and see the office. even more
impressed now and appreciate being welcomed there)
Cheers,
Katie
