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,

*Jan Ainali*
Executive director, Wikimedia Sverige

Jan,

I am very sad to see you moving on. From the first day I met you, I knew
you were a valuable, passionate and kind partner to me in our movement.
You've always been driven to make positive change. You've tried out new
approaches to see what might work.  You've learned from those experiences
and you've shared widely so that others might know, too. You've been
helpful and proactive in so many ways. And you've taught me a lot over the
last several years!

I will miss you very much.

Please do stay in touch. And enjoy the next adventure!

Katy

Jan,
Thanks for all of your work. The Swedish Wikipedia is a very inspiring
project for me as a Dutch Wikimedian and I have been following (somewhat
jealously) how the WMSE community responds to new innovations. Under your
leadership I think your Swedish Wikipedia community looks quite healthy (as
least it does to me, as an outsider).

good luck with any future plans you have,
Jane

Dear Jan,

Thank you very much for your immense contributions to the movement! 
Not the least of those is your ability to be (and I quote Sandra Rientjes) 'a 
source of sanity and calm'.
I can't vow for chapter meetings as Sandra does, but I have seen a lot of that 
on public mailing lists.
Happy editing!

It is almost on the day 8 years since Jan and I joined the first WMSE board. 
And while we were many getting the chapters up and running, Jan did in many 
ways play a crucial role. When we were in internal turmoil, it was Jan who 
stepped in and took care of the critical task and saved the day. And even more 
important it was Jan who early on spotted the opportunity in the idea of the 
"new" chapters. And as an volunteer he and Holger spend almost a year filling

fully fledged chapter that been here since

Kudos for all what you have done and wishing you all the best for the future!

[Wikimedia-l] I'll be moving on

2015-10-08 Thread Jan Ainali
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,

*Jan Ainali*
Executive director, Wikimedia Sverige

Huge thanks for everything you have done to help grow the chapter and
provide leadership!

I am very impressed and inspired by all the great stuff Wikimedia Sverige
has been doing, including Wikidata-related (e.g. the menu challenge and
visualiztion challenge) and GLAM initatives.

I am sure the chapter will do just fine with new leadership, and would be
great to have you back as a community person. :)

(PS. and was cool to visit on Monday and see the office.  even more
impressed now and appreciate being welcomed there)

Cheers,
Katie
