hehehe, maybe. imo criteria like the following would be somehow worthwile:
* quality and quantity of uploads/contributions (more is good)
* person gave presentations at wikimania / wikimedia glam conferences
(less is good)
* person received movement funds (less is good)
* COI, especially is sales of something coupled with participation
(less is good)
* region already covered (less is good)

In Mexico there will be 11 GLAM talks from Iberocop
chapters, 1 from
US, 1 from UK, 1 from DE, 1 from the rest of the world, and the
program commitee will be dominated by Spanish and Portugeese native
speakers :-P. And that would be very "natural thing". Just joking.

I think it's always likely there will be a
bias toward the country in which
Wikimania is being held. That said I'm certain the programme committee did
not select so many UK GLAM things on purpose.
To my knowledge, the UK chapter is the most involved with GLAM out of the
whole chapter ecosystem - this could be wrong, but WMUK certainly seems to
lead the way in at least some definitions.
I will however say that it would have been perhaps better to have a more
diverse programme committee in general. Most of us are from the US or the
UK. Would have been ideal to have a wider range of voices judging
submissions. Something for Mexico 2015 to think about perhaps.

Thanks for this Rupert, very interesting. Not sure what you mean by 'no
success criteria when choosing entries' though; have you seen the
Submissions review page?

There will be space throughout the conference for breakout sessions and
self-organised sessions on any topics. I don't think the official programme
is meant to define everything that is/should be talked about at Wikimania,
and anyone is welcome to organise 'fringe' meetings on any topic of their
choosing, and most welcome to use the Wikimania wiki to organise things like
that if they like.
