I will speak to this one time and then I am done. My attempts at advertising the vote were to make more people aware of it and to get more votes in general. That is the democratic way. In fact there have been comments added to these posts on our OLE blog from code4lib members. During my time in hosting the event I met many new comers to the conference who were unaware of the voting no matter how much publicity we did for that for the proposals as well as for the keynotes. I was just trying to get some publicity for the conference, especially since I am a sponsor. If my posts are causing you problems I am glad to change them to fit to whatever policy you may have on voting but that is the thing this is an unconference so there are not really any policies on voting other than an interest and a code4ilb account, and in fact this process is confusing to first timers. Ross is right this has not really helped our OLE proposals but it has gotten more votes for the conference I bet and more publicity for the upcoming conference which is as stated sold out. Please do let me know if your policy changes and I can reflect that in posts I use to publicize your event or if there are other policies on publicizing your event that myself or other sponsors or even event volunteers should know about. My efforts were only done with the best intentions of getting the word out about your event and those of you who know me I am sure will understand that.
