I extended the feedback deadline yesterday until today 10:00 am, as I realized, that I wouldn't be working earlier on this. So today shortly before lunch, I mailed the results of the feedback to the speakers.
Feedback results
And there are a lot of results, I would not have thought that 92 of you would give active feedback, even more then a 130 have at least used the feedback link. In total there are 634 votes given for talks and the average is 6.88 votes per person who voted. Also you gave 180 comments! Only one talk received no comments, every other talk had at least one comment as feedback. As one can expect, there is a lot of positive feedback and a lot of feedback for speakers what they could improve.
So, as this is the first time that Meeting C++ has such a tool, it is also a full success. After the voting for this years conference already had 59 people participating, the feedback shows that this is now an important part of the conference. In April everybody who has submitted a talk or attended a previous Meeting C++ conference will be able to vote on Meeting C++ 2015.
From the feedback I see, that there were only a few talks which didn't went as well as expected, but there has been no talk voted particular bad. The vote range on the talk is 4.75 - 2.75(Median 4.10), the speaker rating goes from 4.89 to 2.65 (Median 3.85), Scott Meyers scores an incredible 82x 5* rating! So, the top 5 rankings are based on the average vote a talk or speaker received, keynotes included:

Slides & Videos
As I also get often asked when the slides and videos are available. I'll upload the keynotes this week, the talks then will follow in January. The first batch of slides will be soon linked in the talks, so far I have received a little over 50% of the slides from the speakers.
