Oh and shall we end the voting?

When a thread goes unnoticed for a while, it may be pushed down by new threads. However, a new message will cause the thread to rise to the top. I chose to bump this thread because it seems that it could use more votes. As stated in the OP, voting ends when all of the world enters 8 May.

No and no.

No because this is the OCA equivalent of the POTY competition which has always gone into the Patterns forum and the OCA DOTY (correct me if I'm wrong) has always been in the OCA thread, and no because 8 May 2020 has not been reached.

Voting ends at UTC 12:00 8 May 2020, or UTC-12 00:00 8 May 2020.

UTC-12 areas.

I'm pretty sure there are five hours left. Can somebody run the script at the indicated time? (because i'm not getting up at four in the morning to do it)

This is probably the script?
