> Well, the final talley is in, and Italy has beaten Germany.
>
> You can look at the list of who voted at:
> http://www2.openend.se/~lac/EP2011/Voterlist
>
> You were all good, and nobody voted twice. There was one spoiled ballot,
> unless the affected party can manage to convice me that his mother
> really did name him NOME COGNOME. :-) In which case I may have some
> harsh words for his mother. :-)
>
> Conclusions:
>
> 1. The German Organisation is very deep.
>
> 2. The Italian Organisation is even deeper.
>
> 3. Indeed, I think that _both_ organisations are larger than the
> current set of EuroPython volunteers.
>
> 4. To my disappointment, I only counted 7 votes from past EuroPython
> Organisers. That's one tenth of the total votes cast, and a very
> tiny fraction of the people who were eligible to vote. Did you
> guys all forget, or couldn't you make up your minds?
>
> 5. I think that the Italians were worried that I might accuse them of
> vote stuffing just because they got such a remarkable turnout. At
> any rate, nearly 2/3rds of the Italian votes came with an
> attached photograph, most wearing PyCON Italia staff tshirts,
> and a note saying 'I worked on the website for PyCON Italia 3' or
> 'This is a picture of me working the registration desk at PyCON
> Italia 3 (I'm the tall guy)' and so on and so forth outlining what
> each had done in the past.
>
> And as far as I am concerned, this worked out as a marvellous
> strategy. Given the poor turnout by former EuroPython organisers,
> this did come down to a measure of 'how large is your organisation',
> and with so many of the names on the list completely unknown to me,
> I did wonder how many of these organisers actually would work, both
> for their bids, and for Birmingham next summer. The number of
> Italian votes that came with photographs of them working + past
> EuroPython Organisers who voted for Italy exceeded the German total
> + past EuroPython Organisers who voted for Germany.
>
> 6. Now we have to figure out how to mobilise 40 some odd Italians who
> have promised to help with Birmingham 2010. Sounds like a challenge,
> to me.
>
> Thank all of you for voting, and for all the work that went into making
> the proposals in the first place. I only wish that we could hold
> EuroPython 2011 _both_ places. And I strongly urge the Cologne organisers
> to hold a conference in Cologne sometime, anyway. I'd really like to
> attend this one.
>
> Thank you all,
> mostly for being your most splendid selves,
> Laura
