For those who won't bother to run the ballots in openSTV (and fix the election title in the ballot file). Here's a copy-paste from my run at the ballots. Still waiting for the official results though.

Edit: Can someone verify that I used the correct counting method?

---
./runElection.py RTSTV ../election.blt
OpenSTV version 1.5 (http://www.OpenSTV.org/)

Loading ballots from file election.blt.
Ballot file contains 9 candidates and 303 ballots.
No candidates have withdrawn.
Ballot file contains 298 non-empty ballots.

Counting votes for Maemo Community Council elections, Q3 2009 using Random Transfer STV.
9 candidates running for 5 seats.
Using a Droop-Static-Whole threshold.
