This Saturday we gathered in Stockholm to form a membership association, to become a Swedish chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation. We were 51 people at the meeting, including chapters coordinator Delphine Ménard. The proposed bylaws, which have received no protests from the chapters committee, were adopted by the meeting with only minor changes in language. The membership fee was set to 100 kronor (roughly 11 euro) for the period until the end of 2008. The association already has 36 members -- with more expected. A board was elected with Lennart Guldbrandsson as the chairman. He has already served as "press contact" for the Swedish Wikipedia. I'm one of the board members.

Excellent news Lars, and I'm very glad that you are taking a leadership role in this effort. :-)
