This is the Chapters report for Wikimedia Sverige, April 2012.
== Board meeting ==
We held a board meeting via Google Hangout April 10. Minutes in Swedish.[1]
== Staff ==
For the first time we have collaboration with the GLAM-sector to hire a
Wikipedian in Residence. Or actually two, one developer and one evangelist.
Both will interact and inspire the employees, share good examples and be
part of the team at the museum.
== Wiki skills==
Summary from report for March [2]:
Leo and Anna has primarily worked with "WP2 User needs and training
opportunities" which is one of the two work packages where Wikimedia
Sverige leads some tasks. In March we spent a lot of time preparing for the
introductory course that all partners will teach with their respective
audiences. Wikimedia Sverige introductory course is designed to provide
more details about ''what it takes for our target audience consisting of
mainly vocational teachers who already have basic knowledge of wikis to
successfully use wikis as part of their teaching''. Before the course we
have been involved in preparing and publishing a survey for this target
group (see "published" below). Also, time has been spent to write some
sections of the "European state of the art report": analysis of existing
wiki software, analysis of existing wiki farms, comparing wikis and other
social web tools and more. Anna has also spent time to guide and provide
assistance in using XWiki, one of the tools WikiSkills chosen to use
internally.
Published:
* Wiki Skills Started - introductory course coming up soon! [3]
* Introductory course - we are looking for wiki pioneers within vocational
training! [4]
* Participate in survey on wiki use in education! [5]
== Europeana Awareness==
The process of hiring an Event manager continued.
== Access to technology ==

now possible to lend the equipment to take great photos our videos.

== GLAM-wiki launches the white paper work ==
In the work of the whitepaper we launched a pages with the content. We will
print the document ande deliver to museum and galleries. But the pages

between printings.

A meeting was held in Oslo on April 22 withe representatives from Wikimedia
Denmark, Wikimedia Norway and Wikimedia Sweden, following an informal
meeting at the Chapters Conference in Berlin in March. An invitation had
also been made to Wikimedia Finland. Cooperation on specific common Nordic
projects were discussed in some detail. For further information, see Report

The Swedish representatives also attended the Wikipedia Academy on April
23, arranged by Wikimedia Norway. At the Academy, Lennart Guldbrandson made
