    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>
