Hmm, I'm not so much in favor of using Facebook as the primary channel for
a conference and voting.
It's easy for everyone, who already is active Facebook user, but maybe not
everyone is or wants to be. I for example use Facebook only very sparsely
and only if necessary, not only because of NSA and PRISM but also because
of other reasons. So I don't want to publish (accidentally) my votes,
especially if I can't really control, who will see it.
So let's use Facebook for promoting events mainly.

And the question is more, if we want an open vote, or a vote of the people,
who were on the Wiki list yesterday.
Otherwise we just make an open poll to everyone (because everyone can add a
name to the Wiki), and I'm not sure this is what we want.
