That's really cool and it definitely shows how amazing our community is that someone will create something like this and then openly share it. At the same time, I will encourage everyone to *vote first* before looking at the results, and to not change their results after looking at the spreadsheet. The program committee actually created a similar spreadsheet and debated whether to share it publicly because there have been concerns over the years about the bias in-progress results can have on voting. As the community prides itself on openness and transparency and there were no in-progress results last year, we decided to compromise and show the unranked, untallied results so people could still see the results, but not specifically where a specific talk is in the rankings. Along with anonymizing the talks by removing the presenters' names, we hope to provide a process where the talks will be evaluated on their own merit without the bias of gender, race, repeat or not repeat presenter, how it's doing vote-wise, etc. The program committee plans to release the tallied, ranked, final results after voting closes. Personally, I never look at the results in-progress since they can change dramatically over time, and in the years I submitted a talk, I would just end up stressing out about it. =x On Sat, Oct 13, 2018 at 9:48 AM Kate Deibel <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > If you want to follow the rankings for the talk voting, I put together a > script + sheet that automatically recalculates the ranking.
