no, that's the wrong assumption. :) It is a conference for all 
interested parties, for the large community, for everyone. It is called 
"LibreOffice Conference" on purpose. :-)

However, we in the past had large practical problems with many people 
voting who did not intend to go at all - "joke voters". So we had a hard 
time providing mechanisms to avoid joke votings.

My first idea was to invite people from all the mailing lists, but in 
today's BoD call the concern was raised, that by that, we would 
effectively also miss several people, as it's no clear border to draw. 
What about those not on a list, but actively contributing in the wiki?

Thus, for 2012, we decided to only allow members to vote, and at the 
same time encourage contributors to become members.

I guess any solution has drawbacks, so I hope we could find some 
sensible one. If there is a "one size fits it all" solution, I am happy 
to hear it, of course. :-)
