January's SMACKDOWN features two events on the bill:

1. In the Main Event, John Sindelar of SeedCode gives Albert a whack at his brilliant Calendar Template.

2. Albert and his SmallCo Henchmen take on all comers: see if your screenshot can last 5 minutes in the ring! First come first served: the line forms at 10 minutes before showtime (UTC - 5). Bring your screenshot and a mercifully terse three-sentence description of the app.

What is the Design SMACKDOWN?

The FileMaker Design Caucus has been a wonderfully polite and buttoned-down gathering of design literati since October 2006. But judging by the rowdy yet invigorating workshop Albert led at the San Francisco DevCon, folks appreciate honest and direct design criticism, and want more of it. The Design SMACKDOWN is a place for frank feedback, with the chance for the audience to either chime in or "throw tomatoes."

How does the Design SMACKDOWN work?

Presenters have one minute to explain the goals and roles of their existing application. The question to answer is "Who uses this tool, and what do they want to accomplish?" We're not interested in the FileMaker equivalent of "Stupid Pet Tricks", and we also don't want to be subjected to home movies of your own FileMaker development! It's about your clients and their goals. [For a copy of SmallCo's Goals by Role template, email spec@smallco.net.]

After the one minute intro, we begin critiquing the solution, through live audio and screensharing, live chat and interactive voting modules, including the soon-to-be-world-renowned "Throw Tomatoes" button! [No actual tomatoes will be harmed in this production.]
