Hi there,
I want to follow Stuart's example and briefly introduce myself as a
member of this year's jury:
My name is Claudia Garád, I am the Executive Director of Wikimedia
Austria (WMAT) and attended the Wikimanias in Hong Kong and London in
this context. However, I will volunteer for this commitee in my personal
capacity (not WMAT representative) and free time.
Before I started working for the movement, I was Head of Marketing and
Communications of a major science institute in Germany. Event- and
project-management was a substantial part of my tasks and team and we
organized national and international conferences on a regular basis.
I applied for the jury because I think Wikimania is a great and and
important event for our movement - but I am also aware of the scepticism
of parts of the broader movement in general and our Austrian community
in particular regarding the development and future of Wikimania. By
offering the experience and expertise I gathered inside and outside of
the movement, I hope I can contribute my share to a Wikimania 2016 that
will be beneficial for all our various stakeholders.
Best
Claudia

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.

Hi,
Like Itzik I too would like to know how the jury was selected. Also, it will be
great if someone could shed light on the profiles of the members.

Hey Manuel,
Can you elaborate more on how the current jury was elected and by who?
Correct me, but beside Richard Sydmonds - all the members of this year jury are
new? there is not continuity in the jury?

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).
