[Foss4g2010] General track Abstract selection

[Cameron Shorter]

The process we followed for foss4g 2009 was explained in this press release:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_21

Volker wrote an excellent script which the community used to rank the 
presentations. I very strongly suggest that community voting is applied 
again. It helped us abstract selectors significantly in judging which 
presentations would likely be poplular, and allocating room sizes 
accordingly.
We also didn't get any complaints from people about their sence of 
unfair ranking. (Previous years had this problem)
