Here is the report for Wikimedia Sverige, October 2008.
==October 2 Seminar==
Wikimedia Sverige was asked to give a seminar of the basics of Wikimedia
and Wikipedia at the University of Karlstad. It was co-arranged with
Karlstad University Library.
==October 6 Kunskapsdagarna (The Knowledge days)==
This day was arranged by Nationalencyklopedin (think Swedish Encyclopedia
Britannica) to give out the Knowledge prize. We were not nominated but at
least we were invited to participate which in a way is a big recognition.

==October 21-22 Internetdagarna (The Internet days)==
For the second year we attended the Internet days. Our attending fee was
sponsored by IIS (again), the organization controlling the .se domain.
They are also the main sponsor for Wikipedia Academy (see below). We got 5
new members and made some very good connections. Also it was a good event
to get more of our members involved with the daily work.

==October 24-26 FSCONS==
We were one of the organisers of Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit
this year, responsible for the track Open Content. Other tracks were Open
Source and Open Culture and our co-organisers were FSFE and Creative
Commons. This was a very good place for us to make important connections
within the movement. Frank Schulenberg and Lars Aronsson both gave great
talks. Besides all that we got 5 new members this conference too.
