Definitely. I think the "useful/valuable/interesting to the Flock
community" factor is a large one, and the vote gives one indication of
that but the expert judgement of the committee can help with that too.
Additionally:

- Balancing speakers we know are well-respected and big draws with new
  voices and diverse perspectives

- Quality of and thought put into the proposal submission

- When there are submissions covering overlapping topics, choosing the
  best — when there are many talks proposed about a topic interesting
  to me, I might vote them all up, but really I just want to make sure
  there's one good talk on that topic

- And expanding on that, do we have good coverage across the project?

- Alignment with Flock's intended development/planning focus

- Alignment with current Fedora Project 12-18 month objectives (which
  are themselves intended to be selected by community process)
