OEDN is a non-profit organization that aims to drive development of interactive cable TV applications using OCAP and EBIF standards. In 2010, OEDN accomplished several goals including installing a complete end-to-end development environment at Ball State University donated by sponsors. OEDN maintains resources for developers on its website, hosts events and panels, and has partnerships with universities and sponsors to further its mission of cultivating the next generation of interactive TV developers. Going forward, OEDN aims to expand academic partnerships and recruit students to work on research projects with sponsors.
