Leon Tong

Over 10 years experience devising, collaborating on, creating and managing highly successful and engaging online communty projects for clients such as the Department for Education / Creative Partnerships / Creativity, Culture and Education / the Arts Council / the British Council / Amnesty International and Plan International has led me to become a keen supporter of Drupal (http://www.drupal.org and http://www.drupal.com) and the value of builiding effective social networks for education and the third sector.

On graduating from King’s College, London (http://www.kcl.ac.uk) I worked in a team for a nationwide Department for Education (http://www.dfe.gov.uk) initiative, proceeding to Perl development in the city of London for the French version of the financial information portal ADVFN (the Advanced Financial Network – http://www.advfn.com) before setting up BrightLemon ™.

I have presented on education and online communities at numerous social media and Drupal events in the UK.
