Re: [opensuse-marketing] TED

Hi all, I was trying to find this mail for some time. Seeing the recent growth in the visibility and number of TEDx[1]s (independently organised TED like talks/events) around, and their efficacy, I would think getting someone representing the project to talk in one of these is not unreasonably hard. The point is, while a TED talk is obviously with it's merits, will a TEDx talk have sufficient audience or scope to be useful to the project? ~kknundy. [1] www.ted.com/tedx P.S. Sorry for top posting, but I couldn't find a better in-line location. On 1 May 2011 03:11, Tony Su wrote:

:) Do you know what TED is?

TED is <very> exclusive. Every year only a <very> select few people who either have the most innovative ideas which can shake humanity and an equally few people who can <make things happen> are invited to the event with the understanding that after the event <results are mandatory>. If anyone attends and doesn't continue to "shake humanity" then they're not invited back the following year.

I just discover TED:

there are talks about open source, but nothing on openSUSE (or suse)

I don't really know if we have anything to do with TED, but I liked the subtitles feature of the video system :-)
