All,
For the last three years I have been the Executive Director for Wikimedia Sverige. Before that I have been Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary of the board (at different times) and have been involved since the founding of the chapter in 2007. It is perhaps even an understatement to say that the chapter has been a big part of my life. I have had the opportunity to be part of a fantastic journey from starting the first chapter’s activities to today, with stable strategic activities, seven people in the office, and a diversified board. It has been an awesome time in my life and I have met and worked with some truly wonderful persons along the way, and I am thankful to all of you that have made it so inspiring. But now, as my contract is about to come to an end, I feel that it is time for me to move on to new endeavours. I am confident that the chapter is already in good hands, with a professional board and an office with experienced staff members and functional processes, but I’ll be around until at least the beginning of January to make it a smooth transition.
I will obviously always be a wikimedian at heart and probably pick up on my editing again and I will also stay subscribed to most mailing lists. If not earlier, I’ll see you in Esino Lario.
Best regards,
