I think my name is on there because I submitted it for him via the conference website. You can go ahead and remove my name.

It's perhaps worth nothing that Mark's talk was added a good deal after the "please vote" announcements went out and so it's quite possible that many people didn't vote for it because they had already distributed their votes. This happened to me, for example. It seems possible that the the lack of a fair starting-line may have some effect here. Perhaps I'm incorrect but I find it hard to believe that *any* talk by Mark Shuttleworth will be poorly attended. :) Regards, Mako -- Benjamin Mako Hill mako@debian.org http://mako.cc/
