The Europeana Awareness project and Wikimedia Sweden

Sorry for cross-posting. 

Dear
everybody,

My name is John
Andersson and I have recently been hired by Wikimedia Sweden (WMSE)
as the Event manager for the project Europeana Awareness[1], a
project that amongst other things has the goal of creating a closer
cooperation between the Europeana Foundation (and its vast network of
GLAM institutions) and the Wikimedia community and by doing so increase awareness of the work done by
Europeana (hence the project name). The project leader for
WMSE's part of the Europeana Awareness is Lennart Guldbrandsson,
a.k.a. User:Hannibal, who many of you already know. I will however be
responsible for the day-to-day operations.

First of all I would
like to give you a short presentation about myself so that you know
who I am (if this understandably bores you, you can skip the
following paragraph) and secondly I will present the projects that I
will work with during the coming 18 months. 

I
will start working full time on the 11th
of
June but until then I am working merely 35 percent as I am currently
at the very end of my university studies at the Master programme in
European Studies at Gothenburg University, finishing up my Master's
thesis that focuses on decision-making in the Arctic Council's
