Can we have talks upvote or downvote open to only those who have
registered for the conf ?
This will reduce the fake votes I believe .As I attended one of the talks on Day 2 who got a lot of up-votes but I don't know what shit he was talking.
Yes I think its a good idea. Even I was thinking same. Voting rights should only given to attendee.
Talk selection does not only depend on the number of upvotes in the funnel. The talk selection committee does a scrutiny of the talk proposals and the speakers before selecting them. So, even if someone got fake upvotes, that won't necessarily mean the talk would be selected. Rest assured!

I was the second time attendee of Pycon. First time I attended in 2012 and second 2014. I am also disappointed with the quality of workshops and some talks being given. With my watch I can say 2012 workshops in Christ were better than 2014 workshops. Talks on Day 2 were better than Day 1 this year...this was the feedback of some of my friends as well who attended Pycon this year. I agree with Noufal than just for the sake of pulling crowd we should not compromise with the quality. I would tell you honest feedback of mine. Paying 1000 bucks for one workshop and then you come to know that's not worth peanuts . Definitely we should concentrate on quality speakers whether be it for intermediates or experts .

Workshops are more complicated since it's an attempt to actually teach rather than to just present an idea.
I don't have any concrete thoughts on them. My original thread was focussed on the quality of talks rather than on the workshops.
