You'll be hearing a lot
from me on this list. At
the moment, I'm making
an issues overview which
aims at listing issues
currently in the EU
legislative pipeline
that may affect
Wikimedia activities in
one way or another. The
overview, which will be
up soon in unfinished
form, will give a brief
description of each
proposal, explain where
in the legislative
process the proposal
currently is and discuss
how it may affect
Wikimedia projects. This
will be a starting point
for the process of
prioritizing. Any
additions and edits from
others will be greatly
appreciated.<br>
<br>
I'm also diving into the
projects that Dimi
already has up to speed.<br>
<br>
My organizational
affiliation is with the
Swedish Wikimedia, so I
report to the Swedish
office. That being said,
since most proposals we
deal with are of a
pan-European nature I'm
looking forward to
working with you all for
better EU regulation.<br>
<br>
speak to you soon,<br>
Karl<br>

Hello, everybody!<br>
<br>
I am happy to report
that as of this
month my loneliness
in Brussels has
effectively been
cured. Not only did
we found Wikimedia
Belgium [1][2], but
we now also have a
second permanent
Weasel in Brussels!
Please meet Karl
from Sweden (signed
up to this list).<br>
<br>
Karl [3][4] is a
member of Wikimedia
Sverige and has been
has been sitting in
the Swedish National
Assembly for 8 years
representing the
County of Stockholm
district. After
being member of the
Swedish parliament
for two terms he
decided he wants to
deal with copyright
issues on a more
international scale.
He thus contacted us
and moved
permanently to
Brussels to help out
with our EU policy
efforts.<br>
<br>
I am very glad to
have him on board,
not only because of
expertise, political
savoir-faire and
network, but also
because him being
here reduces the
risk of me
succumbing to cabin
fever :)<br>
<br>
I hope you join me
in welcoming him!<br>
<br>
Have a wonderful
week, everyone!<br>
<br>
Dimi<br>
