Thursday Sept 19th at 9am PST For our fourth Open Dojo event, we’re gathering infrastructure gurus to talk about monitoring and stability.

Our esteemed panel […]
Thinking of switching to DVCS? Git yourself to Summit
Many enterprises around the world are facing a new challenge brought about by the modern development age — moving from a centralized version control system, such as Subversion, to a distributed version control system, such as Git.

Inside Atlassian: developer product owners on the Bamboo team
We’ve been thinking a lot about releases in Bamboo Land recently. And I’d noticed a while back that releases of Bamboo are generally down-tempo events for the development team. None of the death marches, mandatory Saturdays, or tension I’d experienced at other companies — just another day at the office. So I asked James and […]
New in Confluence: Request access to view restricted pages
Tell me this has never happened to you before: A co-worker shares a page with you or @mentions you in one. You click the link eager to see what’s so important. You get an error message because the page has view restrictions. Frustrated, you email said person asking for access. Said person edits the page’s restrictions and gives you […]
Fix little things: Atlassian’s paper cuts project
At UX Australia 2013, Dan Saffer opened the conference with a talk about microinteractions. Essentially a microinteraction is something you’d find on littlebigdetails.com — an interaction that’s small, often overlooked, or even subconscious. Something that helps to enhance the core experience, reduce frustrations, and offer an opportunity for a bit of humanization or even humor in a product. […]
Scala: Types of a higher kind
[cta] One of the more powerful features Scala has is the ability to generically abstract across things that take type parameters. This feature is known as Higher Kinded Types (HKT). This feature allows us to write a library that works with a much wider array of classes, whereas without the feature you are condemned to […]

6 steps toward stress-free releases with Jira & Bamboo
If you’ve been around agile development long enough, you’ve heard time and again that doing agile ‘right’ means making releases a non-event. Sounds great, but how does one get to this magical place? Ever a fan of lists, I put together the top six ways to avoid an ulcer at release time using the combined […]
The Evolution of Plugins for the Cloud
When I first heard about Atlassian some years ago, one description kept coming up–”the power of Atlassian applications is that you can make them do whatever you want”. Enterprise software normally comes with a lot of constraints–it’s costly, it has a strictly defined set of features, the APIs may be limited or non-existent, and integration is often […]

How we do project management at Atlassian
When I joined Atlassian in 2008 as our first engineering program manager, “project management” was a seldom-heard phrase; “program management” was, well, unheard. Now we have a handful of dedicated project and program managers, a little club that meets monthly to share and discuss all things project management, and a steady flow of staff members expressing interest […]
