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 structure.

I am very happy to announce that Wikimedia Sverige has hired a Project
manager for GLAM and outreach projects. These are a huge part of our
program plan for the year and the role is essential for us to make all the
fantastic stuff we hav planned come true.
Axel Pettersson (User:Haxpett), who has been the press contact for the
Swedish Wikipedia and also on the board of Wikimedia Sverige will work full
time from Monday. Axel, who has studied computer science and leaves the
role as a project manager for radio networks, has for some time already
been doing volunteer work in the GLAM sector for the chapter. Please join
me in extending a warm welcome to him!

Dear all,
Wikimedia Deutschland's monthly report for April 2012 comes to you with
greetings from Germany's most important web conference. There is no en.wp
article about the "re:publica" (yet), so I'll link you to the German
article[1]. The re:publica 2012 takes place in Berlin, May 2-4. 270
speakers from more than 30 countries will address an audience of 4,000
bloggers, politicians and media people.
Wikimedia Deutschland is taking our core goals to this years re:publica. In
a dozen sessions at our own event booth we tell people about free
knowledge, free licenses, why Wikipedia needs more (female) editors, and
many more topics from participation to usability and quality. Among other
things, Wikidata is of course one of the most prolific subjects regarding
media coverage.
A Wikimedia recap of the event will certainly be part our next monthly
report. For now rest assured that the April report[2][3] holds its own ;-)
Go to Meta and learn about why we're posting a Wikipedian in Residence job
description and who was hired recently to support GLAM activities. Find out
about Wikidata's first month and what accounts for Wikimedia Deutschland's
upcoming surge of chapter members. No more spoilers.
