Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment and support! 
To ensure that, we’ve implemented a lightweight but meaningful filter in the application form:
Each participating team must be endorsed by at least 2 other LatAm communities. This helps us surface projects that are already trusted by their peers and reinforces the collaborative spirit we want to foster at Devconnect. Additionally, we’re asking (optionally) for info about the number of activities they’ve hosted in the last 6 months, just to help us understand context and ongoing engagement.
We’re still shaping this together, so if you have ideas on how to make the curation even stronger, we’re all ears! We already made this update on the proposal.
