<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi Sean. <br>
<br>
The numbers were mined from the web pages by taking each and every submission up for voting, by category, and counting how many sessions were submitted and then ranking them.<br>
<br>
It is not a popularity contest - but more an interesting way of how I see what the numbers are saying.<br>
<br>
These are not results of how many people actually voted - as David said below, but how sessions were submitted for the voting process.<br>
<br>
The number of votes a session receives is not made public - and I am not really sure exactly how much influence the actual votes have on the selection process. (As David stated below)<br>
<br>
You are more than welcome to look over the raw data [1]<br>
