It's actually spelled "the Plonies" (as in "the Grammies"), and yes — we  
have been discussing this for years. Having the official name be "the  
Plone Awards" is probably a good idea, though. Then we can refer to it as  
the Plonies inside the community.

It just lacks a person to own it — should be a simple matter of  
identifying some categories, set up a timely survey with some good  
candidates (as well as a freeform option) before the conference, and keep  
it a secret until it's announced at the conference.

Oh, and an awesome Plonies statuette for the winners, of course. ;)

Personally, my opinion is that it shouldn't be a simple popularity  
contest, but rather be used as the basis from where the winners are  
selected by the judges. This would make it more like the Oscars/Grammies  
too — and make it possible to put the spotlight on people/project that get  
less attention that they perhaps should have. :)
