The Australian selection panel consists of:
Wendy White
Wendy White is the online project developer and user advocate for a fantastic Australian science museum. She loves submerging herself in research projects, structuring data, and can spot errant code at fifty paces.
Fascinated by psychology, human-computer interaction and information architecture, Wendy focuses her attention on how she can use her skills and passions to improve science education and assist not for profit organisations in reaching their supporters and volunteers online. A compulsive writer, by day she publishes essays on the web across various mediums, by night she writes tall tales about the interstellar travels of small bookshop-spaceship hybrids. Her most recent work is published in Twitter for Museums, of which she wrote two chapters.
In 2009 Wendy was the Project Manager for the Australian Full Code Press team. She still has the bags under her eyes to prove it!

Steve is the VP of the Interaction Design Association (IxDA); an organizer of the UX Australia conference; founder of UX Book Club; Chair of Interaction 12; and an editor of interaction design magazine, Johnny Holland.
