It’s National Constitution Day today in the USA, and for the second year in a row Atlassian is helping to sponsor the event with the donation of Confluence, our enterprise wiki.

Jira Offers Clarity at ClearStory
Susan Worthy, my manager from a past job at ClearStory Systems, pinged me the other day regarding their development team’s switch to Jira. Somehow, the switch to Jira caught the attention of the CEO and, long story short, Jira went from being just a bug tracker to an entire project management tool. While Susan and […]

Atlassian developers have started to blog about their ShipIt Day projects. Last week, ShipIt VI took place; it’s a semi-regular “open coding” day wherein the developers can work on whatever pet project they’re interested in. The VI designation is a pretty good indicator that it’s been going on for some time. This time around, I […]

Two Wiki Case Studies: Pharmaceutical and Law
A few weeks, I came across this in-depth case study about the use of Confluence as an intranet at Janssen-Cilag, a pharmaceutical company. There was a lot of talk within Atlassian about this article, so much in fact that I was sure I must have blogged about it here. But a few quick searches today […]
The Evolution of Publishing
Linda Skrocki published this awesome video (by Danny, Sun’s new video production and social media intern) on her blog showing the evolution of publishing at Sun Microsystems. The video culminates in wikis.sun.com, the new wiki site powered by Confluence. And what killer editing! It flies between screens and keeps the viewer’s attention by building sentence […]
Office 2.0
We’re sponsoring the upcoming Office 2.0 event in San Francisco. There will be a few Atlassians at the conference listening to speakers, roaming the exhibit area, and, hopefully, participating on one of the panels. Let us know if you’d like to pre-arrange a meeting.
AtlassianTube
Pop some popcorn, pour yourself a drink, and sit back for Atlassian user group presentations. We’ve compiled video from the Boston and Palo Alto events. Scott Farquhar opened both user groups with a presentation about Atlassian, describing the company’s history and the products we’ve developed. In Cambridge, his presentation was followed by Carter Snowdon at […]

Memphis-area JUG

OpenID and Crowd SSO: TheServerSide Video Tech Brief
The ServerSide’s Eugene Ciurana interviewed Justen Stepka, Atlassian’s lead developer of Crowd, at The Ajax Experience in San Francisco a couple weeks ago. Justen discusses how Crowd came about, how the new OpenID capability of Crowd 1.1 works, why OpenID is relevant to companies (esp. versus other standards like SAML), and what developers should know […]
Getting Started on Confluence: Documentation for Beginners
Wikis have become huge phenomenon for businesses for collaboration because of their simplicity and ease of use, Confluence being no exception to this. But not all customers would immediately agree that their users are ready for a wiki, or for that matter, most web-based applications. Being in the business of selling a wiki, it’s easy […]
USC Confluence: A Campus-Wide Academic Wiki
Tommi Rantanen published some sobering thoughts on the topic of Finland: not the promised land of technology on his Endless lesson blog (nice title, by the way). What caught my eye was the reference to a PDF from USC on their use of Confluence campus-wide. The PDF is a case study published by Educause. Some […]
