Actually, when you think about it, the overlap means we are quite 
strong. Many of the people involved last year (and sometimes two years 
ago) are still very eager to participate into making Wikimania something 
real big. If none of those were involved, we would lose some of the best 
practices developped during the past two events. So, I am happy to see 
this overlap.

This said... we *need* south americans on this program committee.
Anyone willing to join ?

Maybe a pinch of japanese could be cool as well (would help to get 
people to know one another).

And what about a drop of russian ? The russian wikipedia is now quite 
big and we hardly know about them either. Is there a russian wikipedian 
on this list ?
