You can download the ballots for each category: http://maemo.org/vote/
E.g.: For beginners category: http://maemo.org/vote/blt.php?election_id=27

If you look at the file you see that it is essentially a list of votes with the first line being no vote and the last lines being no votes.
So, the easiest "ad-hoc" method to count the overall number of votes would be to download the ballots, remove all "non-vote" lines at the top and bottom and count the remaining lines.

Edit:
To make the counting even easier you can use the following snippet:
Code:
grep -e "^1.*" /tmp/election.blt | wc -l
Edit2:
Here you have the full numbers:
Code:
[rc@colin coding_competition_2012]$ for i in *blt; do tail -n 1 $i ;
grep -e "^1.*" $i | wc -l ; echo "-----" ; done
"Coding Competition 2012 - Desktop, System, and Utilities"

The voter turnout is pretty low actually...

Whoa, I expected, that CC will "beat" council voting by a factor of at least two. Well, for sure CD beat it via quality of outcome, so it's OK, nevertheless

But, if, after all, I'm not wrong that CC gained more votes than BoD will, it's not happy prognosis...

Well, no need to put aside festival of happiness after CC results (rightly one, as it's great success!) by me worrying about future, so lets put it aside.

votes are less than number of submissions

sad... I knew it was hard work to vote, but I supposed it was substantially easier than coding a full application from scratch.

i think the vote count has more to do with newer members unable to vote than anything else...

a number of developers couldn't vote too due to this...

lastly, compared to the previous year there must be substantially fewer Fremantle members hence lowering the voters...yes harmattan has a substantial number of members but trust me i pm'ed around 23 members to vote and all had no maemo.org profile ans were unaware about this...

Nothing wrong with the voting mechanism per se but just unfortunate timing...

Also there were a LOT of submissions - I didn't vote on any of the Harmattan submissions because I have only Fremantle device, so voting got diluted in that way.

Thats because the average user of this forum doesn't realise you need a maemo.org account as well!

I don't understand why they are separate?

Because even thought they look like there all part of the same site, it's different sites on different servers.

Remember when TMO was/is iTt?

From what I understand is that maemo.org is owned by Nokia along with all the databases but TMO singly is owned by Reggie along with the databases hence no mix...

...which is reason for major headache on many fronts, starting at voting, and ending on migrating forum to new place.

Don't worry though - soon both karma system (as part of maemo.org infra) and TMO (as usable forum on current server) will stop exist, so problem will solve itself. I just hope, that there will be something to substitute it, or it may be not the "final solving" we would like to see

Then I am not an average user, because it's difficult for me to read a wiki without having an urge to edit the article here or there, even if I am not an expert in the subject. Having an account on "wiki.maemo.org" is synonymous with having an account on "maemo.org" itself, correct?
But then, my obsession with wiki could be guessed from my name.
I just hope to take part in the next Coding Competition here, one year later... Best wishes.
