Ellie, I don't think "We have a system that works for jury selection" is appropriate answer. I just asked how and by who, not but it strange for me that this simple question is been unanswered.
Adding to my first email, now that I familiar more with the jury members - from one hand I'm happy to see know we have a great and talented jury, but from second hand, a little bit strange feeling that the jury members of the major and the biggest community event within our movement are paid staff from wmf/chapters. I see our staff as an integral part of the movement, but still - we don't have any committee, especially when we are talking about Wikimania, that staff are such a major part of the committee. So yes, this just reinforces the fact that requires a bit more detailed answer to the question - how they are selected. Thank you, and thanks for all the people that volunteered for this year jury.
