This is actually a friendly event and doesn't involve any wrestling! We will have a laptop set up connected to a projector and speakers. A representative from each cluster gets 2 minutes to share an idea. And to keep it sharp and lively we will only use the one laptop so we don't waste time plugging and unplugging. This means that all the resources you want to talk about need to be online so that we can click on a link and see it. This means you might need to give us the URL to:
 * __Smackdown Sharing Session__**


 * a website
 * photo sharing site (Flickr/tweetphoto/MobileMe etc) where you upload the screen shots you create
 * wiki page you create
 * iTunes Store

These links will be aggregated on a Wall Wisher wall for future reference. This will be strictly timed - you will have no longer than the 2 minutes allocated. We look forward to getting a lot of ideas! Add your name and URL to the table below if you are going to be representing your cluster. If you don't have a place to upload to for sharing purposes, we have set up another page on this wiki that you can use to publish to if needed. The page is called Smackdown sharing session Sept 10
