Vote for Atlassian in the Crunchies

Atlassian is a finalist in the 2009 Crunchies, an annual award sponsored by TechCrunch, VentureBeat and GigaOm to “recognize and celebrate the most compelling startups, internet and technology innovations of the year.” There’s no explanation on the site as to the criteria in which nominees were selected — was it the launch of Jira 4, […]

Cash For Clunkers, Confluence edition – And the winners are…

Just after the launch of Confluence 3.1 earlier this month we began sifting through all the awesome submissions for Cash For Clunkers, Confluence edition. Over the past month we accepted over 150 clunker trade-ins, and each one was entertaining to read. We had a lot of favourites so it was difficult to choose just one […]

Gingerbread houses, the Atlassian way

Black Friday, the Super Bowl, dinner with the in-laws – the holidays are always good for some competition. In keeping with that theme, the Atlassian San Francisco office decided to follow our annual Halloween pumpkin carving contest with an inaugural holiday gingerbread house building competition. The rules: each team gets a bona fide gingerbread house […]

How our Sales Engineers use Jira for Project Management

Task tracking in the flow

Jira is awesome for task tracking and project management. We’ve made some recent improvements to one of our Jira Projects so my team can better track our time spent.

Welcome to Plugins Studio!

Good news, everyone: the migration to PStudio is complete! It took about twice as long as I had estimated, so I’m right on schedule (in engineering-time). Before you go tearing off to check it out, please, I beg you, finish reading this post and read the documentation. Here’s where things stand tonight (Sunday 20/12/2009): We’re […]

Atlassian User Group Update

In August we announced that we are turning our User Group program over to the community. Our goal was to build a community of users that would meet regularly (at least 4 times a year), in every neck of the woods. We help out by offering some great organizer benefits and promotional assistance. How did […]

(Case Study) Interspire: going Scrum improves dev speed 30-40%

I had an opportunity to speak with Mitchell Harper, Co-Founder and Product Manager at Interspire, the other day about their use of Atlassian tools. In just 8 months they purchased five of our tools and improved their development speed a whopping 30-40%! It goes without saying that it’s a story we needed to share. Interspire […]

Maintenance Window for Atlassian Developer Infrastructure

Update 3: The migration is complete. Read the announcement here and the new PStudio how-to. Update 2: Unfortunately, the migration is not still complete. I’ve successfully moved about 220 projects. There are about 30 to go. These 30 are the ones that have more complicated SVN histories that prevent them from being moved cleanly. I’ll […]

I’m a member of the development team in San Francisco that has, for the last year and a half, been working on the Atlassian Gadgets framework that provides support for drag-and-drop dashboards and OpenSocial Gadgets in Jira 4.0, Confluence 3.1, and other Atlassian applications. It’s been an interesting, fun, and challenging project that we were […]

Sneak Peek: Sexy Side-by-side Diffs

We don’t usually do the whole teaser thing. But I just think this (long awaited) feature looks so sweet that I had to share. Side-by-side diffs have never been Fisheye’s strong point. What we have now isn’t terrible, but it certainly isn’t great either, especially on a small screen. A little while ago during one […]
