Open Stack

50 votes would have been great. Some of these sessions had 4 votes in total.

This is an interesting debate. Funny enough, it’s one that Mark Baker covered, along with suggestions to improve:

Hello Stefano,

"I always considered the voting process as a marketing tool for the event, a community ritual, a celebration of openstack community as a whole and not something that the selection committee should use. I find looking at votes extremely unfair to the submitters and diminishing of the selection committee's role, too. IMO a good committee should evaluate based on quality of content relative to the objectives for that specific summit (overall focus, location), and totally ignore the popularity of their proposers (or their employees).
"

While I agree with you on some of the points, ignoring voting would essentially remove community from providing any input into the selection. Are you suggesting getting rid of voting all together?

I don’t think this is at all what Stef was suggesting. In the storage track we would look at the votes, but that didn’t make the decision, but contribute.

There are some talks you just have to use common sense. For example, if you have 500 something votes, but the average talk got around 50 votes, that’s just something weird going on, and I don’t appreciate that.
