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
