It looks like at least two are London organisers, and two are Mexico organisers (correct me if I’m wrong on that one). One is (of course) Ellie, Daniel is an Australian Wikipedian of more than eight years, and a cursory Google reveals Finne Boonen is a Dutch attendee of three previous Wikimanias and open-source advocate.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2016 - Jury Announcement and Start of Bidding
Hi Itzik/Muzammil/Joseph, Some people won't need to but I can introduce myself if it saves time. I was the Wikimania Liaison for Wikimania 2014 here in London. I worked on the conference for 11 months, covering logistical aspects and working closely with the London bid team to make sure that they had the facilities they needed to deliver the programme. From this quite intense experience, I have a good understanding of the mistakes that can be made in a bid process, the practical considerations of hosting an international conference, and the types of things the community wants out of a Wikimania. I have a professional background in finance, project-management and conferences, and I currently work in a fundraising capacity for Wikimedia UK. I started editing when I started working for Wikimedia in 2013 (user: battleofalma) , so I'm not an experienced Wikipedian, but I'm slowly getting there. Speaking slightly on Richard Symond's behalf, his inclusion is based more on his jury experience and community involvement more so than his Wikimania experience, as he wasn't part of the organising team for Wikimania 2014 (though in its execution he did work incredibly hard as did most of the Wikimedia UK staff).

We have a system that works for jury selection.

I was the Wikimania Liaison for Wikimania 2014 here in London. I worked on the conference for 11 months, covering logistical aspects and working closely with the London bid team to make sure that they had the facilities they needed to deliver the programme. From this quite intense experience, I have a good understanding of the mistakes that can be made in a bid process, the practical considerations of hosting an international conference, and the types of things the community wants out of a Wikimania. I have a professional background in finance, project-management and conferences, and I currently work in a fundraising capacity for Wikimedia UK. I started editing when I started working for Wikimedia in 2013 (user: battleofalma) , so I'm not an experienced Wikipedian, but I'm slowly getting there. Speaking slightly on Richard Symond's behalf, his inclusion is based more on his jury experience and community involvement more so than his Wikimania experience, as he wasn't part of the organising team for Wikimania 2014 (though in its execution he did work incredibly hard as did most of the Wikimedia UK staff).

Joseph Fox, 29/09/2014 13:01: It looks like at least two are London organisers, and two are Mexico organisers (correct me if I’m wrong on that one). One is (of course) Ellie, Daniel is an Australian Wikipedian of more than eight years, and a cursory Google reveals Finne Boonen is a Dutch attendee of three previous Wikimanias and open-source advocate. It all comes down to who applies and what the Committee are looking for in a jury. And it makes sense that applications were from people fresh of Wikimania passion. Also, maybe folks are confused by the real names: I think everyone knows henna and her involvement in Wikimania.
