I'd be against doing a vote in person at the summit on the basis that this would exclude a large portion of the community who are unable to attend :-( A online poll is fully inclusive of the OpenStack community. I think the same point applies more broadly to any important decisions related to the project, for which the community is ultimately responsible. Meeting people face-to-face for technical presentations / discussions / debates is a productive way of examining difficult issues, but those who are unfortunate enough to not attend summits can feel very isolated. This leads to people feeling there is a 2-tier community. To counter this, IMHO, it is important to communicate important decisions resulting from f-2-f meetings to the community & provide a means for them to add any relevant feedback & influence decisions.
