[Foss4g2009] Workshops and tutorials

[Mark Leslie]

Public voting is dead (I hope).  I had expected to use your voting 
mechanism within the OC to make reporting on votes easier.  It is a 
pretty rough system at the moment.  Is the system publically viewable so 
that people can have a look and be horrified?
