Hello all.

CFP is upon us, and thereafter will be a period of voting for the sessions.

What is the purpose of the voting period? Is it for the Foundation to
gauge what sessions are more popular?
How is this measured?
What weight does the popularity have in deciding if a session is
accepted or not?

And most importantly - are the results of the voting process publicly
available - if so - where?
And if not - then why not?

Thanks
