You would need to register if you want to attend the conference, so Percona will end up having your data anyway. And it stands to reason that you want to vote if you also want to attend the conference. I am not worried about what Percona does with my voting, I have been a member of the conference committee for many years and I haven't seen any improper use of the voting data.<br />For point #2, I share your feeling, and I have asked for a complete list. I haven't had an answer yet.Giuseppe Maxiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15801583338057324813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16959946.post-87140043957945816672015-11-25T04:02:29.911+01:002015-11-25T04:02:29.911+01:00I have to say the whole voting thing rubs me the w...I have to say the whole voting thing rubs me the wrong way. There are a couple big issues I have with it.<br />1) You have to login to vote. I understand why, but it is just weird and I don't like it. I'm not sure what would be done with the information on who would vote for what, but it just rubs me the wrong way.<br />and my biggest issue<br />2) There isn't a way to get a complete list of all the proposed talks and what to vote for. This means new people to the MySQL (or data performance) community will have to work a lot harder to get votes. If I don't follow someone on Twitter, I'm not going to know that they put in a proposal. There was no #PLCFPVote hashtag to make it to easy to search for even. If Percona created a complete list of proposed talks so people could go in and vote for everything, I think this would be much better. Tom Kroupernoreply@blogger.com
