Ok guys, now's the time to vote for your winner. Whoever gets the highest amount of votes at the end will win the 5500, and as well will have his layout be the main one for the ZSI.
Here are links for each user and his layouts. Some of the users have submitted more than one layout, so if your vote is for one of those, simply comment on which one in a reply to this message.
Here are the links for each user:

Since you are viewing that, I will take the time to inform you guys that the official name will be ELSI, or the Embedded Linux Software Index. Currently, we have imported all the data from the original zsi and we are cleaning up spam. If you guys are bored and feel like helping, feel free to browse through the site and when you find a piece of spam (there are lots), click on the 'report this project' link. Also, if you find any bugs, please let me know either via PM here for via the ZSI2 Forums on this site. As well, please let me know how you feel about the flow of the site.
It should also be noted that I cannot win the contest. If you choose one of my layouts, than that will be the main one, but the 5500 will not go to me as I am the contest founder and that wouldn't be right
Ok well, vote away! Contest ends December 18th.

my vote goes to yzord's blue (purplish?) theme

I find it a bit strange that most logos were designed for the name ZSI2 and now the name is officially ELSI?

Yaa, the name wasn't official until a couple days ago. It shouldn't be an issue.

Tough call indeed. I like simplicity so I'll go with network.guy: http://www.dangerz.net/dz/contest/networkguy/networkguy.jpg (http://www.dangerz.net/dz/contest/networkguy/networkguy.jpg)

Voted for yzord because the theme is in harmony with the present zaurususergroup forum one. Skoopie shiny head is very interesting too (http://beazco.brinkster.net/zsi2/shiny_layout.png).
Other themes are squarer. Certainly faster for everyday use of this new database.
I just realized this. Zaurus Index is a Zaurus software index database with Internet front end. Whaterver could be the final appearance, as long as it is easy to use well structured and powerful.. people will like it.

I'll do my best

i thought this one by chaos (chaos) was simple and cool at same time not alot to look at but gets the job done.

yzord's blue design for me.
-
networkguy2.jpg for me, its classic and small. More info on 1 screen = the better
I liked the fuukcomp a lots but, it take a lots of space.
Btw dz, Im still hoping, that we could have a "My profile" or something or a cookie that remember your last choicem, that you could choose the design you "prefer". Thats would be neat
-
I liked fuukcomps second entry best. Yzord's is too fancy for my tastes and network guy's would not stand out from all the other linux sites. I guess I like the technical style of fuukcomp's. I'm sure it could be reworked to take up less space.
-
Is it possible to consider running a second vote against the two finalists or a short list, since I voted for chaos and it is not likely to be the winner, I would like to have a chance to give my opinion on the final result. And given the fact if a second vote is not held the winner will not be the choice of more than 50% of us.

Hmm, we could do that.
I need to have everything tallied up by the 18th of December. I'm leaving to visit my girlfriend on the 23rd and won't be back until the 4th of January, so the 18th will give me time to put it all together.
If you guys want, a week before the 18th, I can take the top 3 and they can have their own separate vote between the 3. The voting would start on the 12th, and end on the 18th.
It's totally your choice though. Let me know..
-
Looks like you voted for Ralph Nader dsavard. <grin>
Were are the Cylon Raider fans????

I guess Ralph's theme is rather than called fuupcomp.

Heh Doc I don't mean to be mean, but if you win, you'll get the Zaurus but won't get your layout used :-X
It's not a personal thing at all; it's just copyright issues (some of your images) that we don't want to deal with when we have to get other things up and running. You're still in the running for the 5500 though and your name will still go down in ELSI history as one of the contestants.
-
I like the two-round voting idea...
-
How do we know the vote has not been rigged and the electronic voting system has not been tampered with.
If my side looses, I want a recount
-
I figured the copyright deal. No worries. I understand.
Looks like I have a snowballs chance anyway ;>

Trust me, if the voting was rigged, the 'Current ELSI Layout' would be winning so I wouldn't have to do any extra work
-
If I could put in my two cents on the two round voting...
I don't think it would be fair to the contestants to have a second vote. If the contest was presented that way in the first place, then it would be different.
To those who didn't vote for scoopie or yzord (the two currently in the lead), your vote still counts, it just won't be a deciding vote (unless of course the person you voted for comes up from behind).
To be fair, I think the winner of this poll on 12/18 should be deemed the contest winner.
This is DZs contest, so I'll support him in any decision that he makes... just my thoughts... take it or leave it.
-
I think so too - as offroadgeek.
Its not fair to change the rules mid-way just so that peoples votes could count again - this seems like the "electibility" factor here - we all want to vote again for the person who seems more with a chance to win - not fair.
If I voted for the guy with just one vote - my vote counted - just that it went for the loser.
my 2 cents
-
Like I said, you voted for Nader!
So did I, no wait,,,I voted for Perot!
-
Looking forward to the new place to get Z. software...I'll be making more mods to some of my code soon.
-
I really don't see why people had voted differently knowing there is a second round? Unless people waited to see whom will emerge from the flock. But, this penalize early voters. Sould we all kept our votes for the last day? But, may be the point is results shouldn't have been shown before the vote is ended.
I hate strategic voters...
-
Only way there is a second round is if it's tied.
-
I agree that with so many contestants, a second round would be fair.
Some opinions:
by626 has great colors and a good small layout. Didn't like by6261.
chaosS is great too, congrats.
network guy's are marvelous pieces of minimality. networkguy2 is my favorite one.
yzord's are just too Crystal for me, I don't like it.
skoopie's orange funk was a great surprise. Blue funk is not that good (maybe lighter tones of blue can help), and smooth metal is not my type.
So, I'd vote networkguy, but seeing yzord's on the lead, i vote for my 2nd one, skoopie's orange funk.
-
I don't care who wins(although I liked yzord) as long as we have a "Z friendly" (e.g. Small screen) layout i'll be happy
-
One thing I noticed about yzord's design is that it doesn't show what an actual application entry would look like - it only shows the 'background' design.
Also, a lot of people seem to like yzord's entry, but which one? The link contains pics of at least two distinct designs.
- ashikase
- anpachi, gifu, japan

you're supposed to post a note as to which yzord design you prefer (you can do that when you vote, or as a separate post if you've already voted)

This yzord design.

I liked this one the most:

-
I prefer this layout by skoopie because it seems the most functional looking and will probably load quickly.

it's crazy how close this contest has been...
get your votes in while you can... because there will not be a second round of voting... this is it
-
I like yzord's one... Well I like the bluey purplish one and I also like the orangy goldish one but whichever one is fine

I know it will take a lot of extra work, but since it looks like you will have user accounts, why not make it so individual users can select the theme they like?
-
If this was implemented, I would assume it would just be different colour schemes of the same layout for simplicity. But what's the point of a vote if you can just select the one you want?

yzord's design
