I was thinking that we could vote for our top two choices and then have a run-off vote between the two most popular dates. Would that work for everyone?
I like this. Thank you for doing all of this work, Kristin.
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

I've actually been teaching voting theory this semester, in a course that's basically "math for people who really don't like math but need to fulfil a math requirement." Four types of preferential voting, various voting paradoxes. Fun. Seems to be fairly standard now in that sort of course -- I've seen it in a few different textbooks.
Thanks for coordinating all this, Kristin.
No worries. It had to get done if we were going to have a F2F at all, and I am bound and determined to get to the F2F this year.
I've set up the next survey, but I'll wait until the first one officially closes to post the next one.
Final Results:
Detroit 6
Houston 5
Madison 23
Minneapolis 25
Total Votes: 59
So… New poll! Vote for Madison or Minneapolis in question one and then vote for your top two date choices in question two. We will have a run-off between the two most popular dates once we get these results.
VOTE HERE! The poll will stay open until Saturday 9PM EST.
No fair! I had enough trouble making a decision the first time.
Eenie, meanie, miney, moe...
Now if only I could go.
It was real easy for me the first time, but now that neither choice will involve visiting all my peeps, it's harder!
As of this morning:
City:
Madison, WI 16
Minneapolis, MN 7
Total Votes: 23
Dates (top two choices):
5/3 2
5/17 5
5/31 6
6/7 11
6/14 8
6/21 11
6/28 4
If I have no preference for dates (which, after twenty minutes of futzing with my calendar I'm starting to realize is actually the case) I don't have to check any boxes to submit the poll, do I?
You don't have to, no.
Pick June. Choose June.
