Ties would, generally, result in runoff (assuming there are more candidates tied than there are available slots). This is unlikely to be an issue with keynote voting, however, since there's the added (and, historically, common) dimension of them turning us down which would probably resolve majority of tie-breaking scenarios. This does raise the question, though, of how many keynoter sessions we're planning on having this year. Thanks, -Ross.

We'll be closing the nominations promptly-ish at midnight-ish Eastern time. So hurry on to the Code4Lib wiki and post those noms. Not that kind of nom!
