Ed Wong
About: I'm a co-founder of ode, a web app where educators will be able to sell and buy little bits of educational content and put them back together any way they like. If you want to talk about disaggregated content, long tail models, micropayments, online communities etc. then that's my bag.
As well as the business development side of things, I also look after a small team of agile developers.
I will be cruising around FoWA with my colleague, James who is hot on usability, accessibility, communities and web standards.
