Congratulations Axel!

While the office managers and other positions that some chapters are
choosing for their first hire are quite necessary, I think it's
exceptionally good to see a chapter focusing on outreach work in its
professional development.

Sounds like we'll see lots more cool projects coming out of
Wikimedia Sverige soon.  :)
