Has anybody from OSM held a speech at TED? 
UK guys and also people from different parts of our planet can talk about 
disaster recovery using OSM. Nobody volunteered to go, or TED isn't 
interested in non-corporate projects?

2010-01-13 Thread Daniel Neugebauer
I heard about TED only recently and what I've read and seen about it so far 
seems like an insult - conspirative pseudo-open meetings for well-paying 
members of that strange elitist association. Talks seem to be only held by 
those members or VIPs that are invited occasionally if any. Even if I would 
tolerate all that, there would still remain a strange feeling about TED, 
something I don't like. Maybe I just don't get something but that whole 
elitarist stuff smells bad.

I'd better stay away from them and go to some real open conferences and 
exhibitions instead.

Bye,
Daniel

Maybe there are others OSM members who are willing to go? I agree that 
there are some elitism there but it is not only that, there are lots of 
positive points about TED also.

Surely we can do better than I don't know much about TED, but it
smells bad to me. By all means, hold these opinions, or post them on
the relevant website or whatever, but can we keep this mailing list a
little bit more informed than half-arsed opinions about stuff that
isn't related to OSM?
