Idea:

The Lotusphere 2008 session preference survey came out, which allows an attendee to vote for only 5 BOF sessions. With the "Communities of Interest" BOFs stuck on the bottom of a list of probably more than 100 BOF submissions, it doesn't look too good for the one I submitted (related to Lotus Certification). In fact, I had already voted for 5 before I got down to mine.

Comment: Forget about Lotus rules, use Idea Jam! Print out the voting list from Idea Jam for BOF sessions (you need to post the idea of course first), I'm sure IBM'er are VERY aware of this site by now. If not, I wonder what they get paid for.

Comment: I like it... with 7.5k to 8k attendees and 5 BOF votes, worst-case that is 40k votes for rooms that hold about 30 people. I can see their hesitation, but ten would be good, then you would have a better way to target the the true sessions of interest, IMHO.
