Crowd Connects Web Apps, LDAP
Crowd 1.0, our single sign-on authentication software, was launched today. The full press release is here. For this release, I decided to do a short interview with Justen Stepka, the lead developer of Crowd. (I had wanted to publish the interview as an MP3 audio file, but my first podcast contained way too much background […]
“Filling the Information Void”
Cool use case for Confluence discussed here. Confluence seems to be the perfect solution to a problem I’ve had in managing certain kinds of customer and company information…I can create a ‘home’ page for each customer, new pages for each of their computers/systems, pages for repair notes and site visits, etc. So far, it’s just […]
Letters from the U.K. (how one customer is using Jira and Confluence)
One of our Customer Advocates received this email from a Jira and Confluence customer in the U.K. It reads like two great mini case studies, so we asked for permission to blog about it (we were told ‘yes’ provided that we didn’t include the company’s name per their corporate PR policy). I added the links […]

Incubator progress pushed forward by Atlassian Bamboo
I just came across this blog from a couple weeks ago. From the Wicket Diary blog, you can follow the links to the Bamboo project: In the mean time we have our own server (kindly provided by Servoy) provide us with a confluence and Jira setup for Wicket Stuff, and best of all: Bamboo for […]
Education for Wiki Customers
I’m happy to announce all of our academic customers using Confluence will be receiving a copy of Using Wiki in Education, a book edited by Stewart Mader, who joined us full-time as our new wiki evangelist just last month. Before Stewart joined Atlassian, we had asked about the possibility of purchasing a copy of his […]
A Look at Atlassian
Lloyd Davis at Perfect Path posted some videos from our London user group in December. I’ll write about those separately next week (when I will also post an update on future user groups). What caught my eye on related videos on YouTube was a new video that I hadn’t seen before, A Look at Award […]
Ten Stupid Ways to Hinder Adoption
Guy Kawasaki recently published a blog on the Top Ten Stupid Ways to Hinder Market Adoption. We do a few things on the list, but market adoption hasn’t been a problem. That doesn’t mean we can’t do better. The following list corresponds with the list that Kawasaki blogged about: #1. We require people to register […]

Connecting Jira to Salesforce.com or other CRM Systems
I’ve seen this come up several times in Jira Forums and in email we’ve received: the need to connect Jira with Salesforce.com. Last week I got an email from Rob at CustomWare that they had written a set of plugins for Jira and for Salesforce.com to allow bi-directional integration. They are looking for Salesforce.com customers […]
Try Some GreenPepper with that Agile Development
Last week, Andre with Pyxis demonstrated their GreenPepper software for myself and Brendan (the only Atlassians in California brave—or stupid—enough for an 8am WebEx). Over several years of consulting and systems integration for Agile developers, Pyxis, an Atlassian partner, concluded that many Agile development applications contain more features than required, i.e., features developers never touch. […]
Jira and Confluence: Finalists for Jolt Awards
Good news travels fast. When the finalists for the 17th annual Jolt awards were announced, we were notified by the judges. Shortly thereafter, I received congrat emails from several bloggers. If you didn’t see the news, both Jira and Confluence have been selected as finalists for the awards. From the email we received from the […]

James at Saikore, one of our reseller partners, has developed a fully-functional Business Development wiki on Confluence. Basically, it’s an example of another way companies can utilize a wiki.
