Hi all,

Following from my recent email, I would like to invite people to put themselves forward who are interested in serving on the Wikimania 2012 jury. Please find <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Jury> which is a list of general requirements.

However In short:

* Please make sure you will have some time to be involved in the selection process, especially between January 1 and the first week of March.
* People who have attended Wikimania or who have greatly contributed to a strong bid, or who have run other Wikimedia events; and who are otherwise involved in the Wikimedia movement are preferred.
* There will be a representative of the board, the advisory board, and the WMF staff on the jury. The other members should be an even mix of chapter and non-chapter people; and the jury as a whole should be geographically diverse and have a fair representation of both genders. 
* If you are going to be contributing in a large part to a bid for 2012, you are not advised to put your name forth for conflict of interest reasons.

If you wish to be involved in the Jury, please email me at josephseddon@gmail.com

Many Thanks

Joseph Seddon
Wikimania 2012 Bidding Coordinator
