Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge. That's the vision that Wikipedia is working towards. In this talk, Sue Gardner explains why Wikipedia is radical, and introduces the people who write it.
Sue Gardner is the Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization behind Wikipedia. Before joining the Wikimedia Foundation, Gardner ran CBC.CA, the website for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, one of Canada's most prominent and best-loved cultural institutions.

The theme for TEDxDubai 2010 is REBOOT. But what does it mean?
For the technology addicts, it is a way to prompt a fresh start. Sometimes there is nothing else one can do other than start again.
REBOOT is sometimes forced upon us, so we should celebrate and share the events that prompt a fresh start, the failures that inspire new ventures and the ideas worth spreading from that journey.
When we Reboot we embrace failure and celebrate it as an opportunity to Re-think, Re-start.
------------------------------------------------------------------
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Our event is call TEDxDubai, where x=independently organized TED event.
