We are excited to announce our 1st ever CloudShare SharePoint Hackathon, in partnership with the LinkedIn SharePoint Experts group. Start practicing your SharePoint 😉 because it all begins on May 31st.

We’ve built a SharePoint farm filled with bugs and mishaps in a CloudShare environment. We’re going to open that farm up to you to fix!

The Prize?

Three lucky winners will receive the grand prize of an XBox 360* and an annual subscription to CloudShare (a value of $690!)… it pays to be a SharePoint expert.

When?
