Over the last few weeks we have been talking to Ed Mitchell about the structure of Pervasive Media Sandbox and how we can help facilitate a collaborative community which will support participants and help them to create the most value from their involvement. Ed is a Bristol-based 'professional community advisor and multi-domain ‘facilitator’' which means he helps groups of people exchange knowledge between themselves.

He has also recently been involved in writing and publishing the second KnowledgeBoard community book, looking at hands-on methods and techniques for knowledge co-creation and sharing within collaborative settings. A free book of ideas, tips and tricks about how to share and co-create knowledge between people, it was written by the KnowledgeBoard community members based on their actual experiences.
