I have the great pleasure to announce that Wikimedia Sverige is hiring an Event manager for the Europeana Awareness project. The project, which is one of the biggest in the chapters history, is founded by the EU and is depending on competent people to carry it through.

John Andersson, who is a long time Wikipedian (User:Jopparn) and is studying for a Master of Science in European Studies, will work full time from June 11 to 2013-12-31. John has good experience of the community and its policies and with his internship at the European parliament he also has a useful insight in the EU structur

Congratulations John on your appointment!

However, I do have one question for Jan and Wikimedia Sverige. I see that WMSE's Europeana Awareness project page says:

"WMSE will organise at least six GLAM-Wiki Europe events/contests – initially hosted at GLAMs in France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and UK"

Can I ask what contact you have had with the Wikimedia chapters in France, Germany, Netherlands, Poland and the UK about this project?

Many thanks,
