Re: [guadec-list] Logo contest result: tie (what to do now?)

[Dave Neary <dneary free fr>]

I just added this comment to the news item (to get the order of 
preference, I started at the final round, and added the winner, and then 
the logos eliminated in each round):

Create 2 new votes in the jury poll, both consisting of the community 
vote (in order of preference) and see if that changes the outcome of the 
jury vote. This gives the community double-weight over a jury member.

By my reckoning, the order of preference in the community poll was 
(excluding logos that onlyu got 1 first preference vote):

   1. 112
   2. 102
   3. 108
   4. 113
   5. 116
   6. 91
   7. 103
   8. 52

I have no idea what the revised result would be, but this seems like a 
decent and fair way to break the tie.

I think this should work.
