    Jun 20 2012: TEDx Prize

    Giving the awards from TED to most incredible TEDx event and featuring it on the ted.com/tedx.
    Maybe I think that we can have some sections like "Good WEB design", "Good Promotion Video", "Good Stories", "Good Venue Design", "Good Marketing Strategy", "Good TEDx Speakers" etc.

    This is not just function on ted.com/tedx but I think that it will encourage people who are already involved in each TEDx and make creative people such as designer and filmmaker feel to want to get involved in TEDx more.
    And it also effects partnership.

    Jun 13 2012: TEDx rules version control and notification feature.

    It would be helpful if we could know TEDx rules has been changed. I think RSS would be good to notify TEDx rules has been changed.
    If we know version of TEDx rules, I think that we can say like this "our TEDx event based on TEDx rules 1.0.5"
    And if we start to translate TEDx rules into other language by volunteers, it would be easier to find sentence which is needed to translate and to understand current translated TEDx rules are based on which version.

    Jun 13 2012: TEDx speakers feature pages like TED community.

    It's just one of ideas. The point of ideas is get speakers involved in whole TED/TEDx community for not only involving day of the event. For example, giving badges, feature their project in their profile etc.

    Jun 13 2012: WEB links to regional TEDx portal site discussed at TEDxSummit and written in each native languages.

    Of course, at first, we need each regional TEDx portal site to break language barrier and to spread TEDx more in each region.

    Mar 16 2011: And I was thinking of what I can do this earthquake disaster as I'm involved in TEDx... as TEDxer.
    Then I choose to spread hopes to disaster victims to find themselves in hope with my friends from TEDxTokyo yz.

    So let me introduce our activities, "HOPE", this try to make a positive feedback by spreading hopes.
    1. "spreading hopes"
    2. "changing mind"
    3. "doing action for the future"
    1. "spreading hopes"... and then 2 and 3...

    - a music/video expressing hopes
    - a hope message/news from overseas (outside Japan)

    Mar 16 2011: Thank all of you for care and concern.

    I think there are 3 stage when disaster are happened and now is the stage between "rescue" and "set up lifeline".
    1) rescue
    2) setup lifeline
    3) volunteer activities


    At this stage, I think only people like us who are not specialists of rescue and disaster control can do is:
    1) to donate though reliable organization
    2) to make a blood donation
    3) to share information / messages


    The following is announced by government and on the net:
    - not to send supplies personally.
    This cause unnecessary confusion of distribution system on site.
    Only corporate which are considerable to send bunch of supplies are allowed to send them.

    - not to go on site to do volunteer now.
    Only NPO/NGO volunteers are accepted current stage.
    If personal volunteer goes there, extra foods, essential goods, place to stay etc. will be needed to prepare for them. Now these should send to disaster victims top priority.

    - not to send/retweet unreliable messages.
