Connectbeam Connects | Confluence Customers Beam
When we arrived at Defrag in Denver last month, we were pleasantly surprised to run into our buddies Puneet, Shinji and Hutch over at Connectbeam. We were even more delighted to see that they were demo-ing their integration between their Connectbeam Spotlight and our beloved Confluence wiki. And we were freaking ecstatic when Puneet later […]

Wiki4k
At the Melbourne Cup lunch, Matthew Jensen and I were talking about the Java 4K competition, where you have to implement a game in Java where your resulting .jar file is 4KB or less. The competition harks back to the old 8bit demo scene where l33t – and mostly Eastern European – hackers created awesome […]
Subversion replication at Atlassian
It’s cool working for an international company with an open philosophy, but our decentralised setup can cause some real headaches for sysadmins. One of these is giving fast access the source-code repository to our developers and support staff spread over 3 continents, all working on a common code base. Subversion is the existing version control […]
ShipIt 9
We recently held Atlassian’s ninth “ShipIt” competition, and it’s time to share the results with you. ShipIt is an Atlassian tradition that requires a little explanation: Every 3 months or so, we put aside our regular development work for a day and a half, and work on our own crazy ideas. At the end, everyone […]

Will the Usual Suspects please line up
I got an email today from a government customer, Brandi George of Brazos County in Texas. They had been watching our very first plugin of the month webinar with Dan Hardiker. We had many problems running that webinar, beginning with Dan’s late plane flight, which forced us to move the webinar back for an hour. […]

Atlassian wins Fast 50 Award, 4 years in a row
`Well, in OUR country,’ said Alice, still panting a little, `you’d generally get to somewhere else — if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.’ `A slow sort of country!’ said the Queen. `Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running YOU can do, to keep in the same […]

Rice’s wiki cultural revolution
Very cool discovery today: I stumbled across presentations given by Rice University IT staff on their use of Confluence. Rice University’s IT Podcast videos includes a four part video series on how they selected the wiki and how it’s used. Recorded in April 2008 at Educause, each video is about 10-15 minutes long. Part I: […]
The Wiki Epidemic: Connecting 80,000 users and 1000s of teams at Accenture
Confluence was introduced to one team at Accenture, but it didn’t take long for the wiki to spread across the globe. Today, over 80,000 consultants, IT users, developers, and executives use Confluence daily to collaborate, write documentation, and more. How did they get such massive adoption? Tune into our webinar to hear Nicolas Peeters in […]
Throbbers
Whenever I work with ajax requests, I always find throbbers more complex then I first anticipated. It is important to let the user know that there is an asynchronous request taking place, however if this request is fast and takes only a fraction of a second, the throbber is also displayed for a fraction of […]
