Panel Ballot Results

Here are the top ten lists from the panel ballot. Just because something shows up here is not a guarantee that it will make the final schedule. There is still a chance for simliar topics to be combined, and if we can’t secure moderators for popular topics (missing mods indicated with red text), they will be bumped for other topics with confirmed moderators. If you want to moderate an orphan panel, or if one (or more) of the write-in topics are really floating your boat, let us know by email. That said, here are the quicky results, in order by voter preference:
