Well, I think that as a GNOME user and developer, the important thing is 
how far outside the comfort zone we're talking about :)

I didn't attend that TEDx event but I know someone who did so I'll ask 
him about once I get a chance but from what I had been told nothing that 
relevant was presented there (relevant for GNOME/Free Software, that is).

As for Jon Maddog Hall, as I mentioned before probably an interesting 
thing he could talk about which is not directly related to GNOME is 
Project Cauã [1], a project whose purpose is to create jobs in Brazil 
using Free Software.
