User Group Feedback
Thank you to all who attended and helped plan our User Groups held last month. A special thanks goes to our gracious hosts M.I.T. and Stanford University as well as all who presented. On June 21st, we held a User Group in Cambridge, MA on the M.I.T. campus with about 86 attendees. After the User […]
My God, it's full of stars.
It’s only a matter of time before we pick up some bones and attack the Bamboo team.

Fix your builds, the easy way!
Like the Jira team, the Confluence team has a screen set up to monitor the health of our Bamboo builds. Unfortunately we we’ve been having a nightmare of a time keeping them green. Lateral thinking to the rescue!
The Cobbler’s Children
There is a proverb that “The cobbler’s children go barefoot”, but I’m glad to say that isn’t the case in Atlassian. We use Confluence extensively to collaborate internally, both for knowledge management and information sharing. One such area is our use of internal News Pages to communicate amongst staff. Rather than having ‘all hands’ e-mail […]
un.del.icio.us
One of the more useful things that we do to collaborate inside Atlassian is use a group del.icio.us feed to share bookmarks to everyone else in the company. On their first day, every employee signs up for at least two different feeds: the staff-blogs feed and the shared bookmarks feed from Delicious. Social bookmarking is […]
Bamboo 1.2 Built!
Today we announced the latest version of Bamboo, our continuous integration (CI) server. Bamboo 1.2 offers over a dozen new features, improvements and bug fixes. One of these features, enterprise permissions, allows users to set security (plan permissions and global permissions) on individual build plans, as well as on an entire Bamboo system. Bamboo 1.2 […]
Developer Network is reopened for business
All of our services: Jira, SVN, Fisheye and Bamboo are all running on a Crowd backend now. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to actually merge everyone’s various accounts — so if you had a ‘jnolen’ account in SVN and a ‘jonathan@atlassian.com’ in Jira before (for example), you still have both usernames. But now both accounts will […]
Developer SVN and Jira will be offline for maintenance
Heads up, everyone. We’re going to be taking the Developer Network Jira and SVn offline for a while starting this afternoon (1pm PDT). We’re moving our developer network infrastructure over to Crowd-based authentication, so once we’re finished you’ll only have one username and password to remember! Well, technically you’ll still have different credentials for Confluence.atlassian.com […]
Jira 3.10 Released with Editable Worklogs
Jira 3.10 was just released and it offers over a dozen new features and bug fixes, including editable worklogs. As one of the most voted-for features by Jira customers, editable worklogs let users edit and delete worklogs with the issue’s ‘Time Spent’ and ‘Remaining Estimate’ being adjusted appropriately in both cases. Other new features for […]
User Group Videos
I’ve created a new page on our extranet with video taken from our user groups. The first video, interviews taken at Hotel MIT with some of the people who attended the Cambridge event, is now posted. Additional videos will be posted to this page over the next couple weeks (as soon as we get them […]
Managing Wikis in Business Survey
Fellow Social Media Today contributor Luis Suarez writes about a survey on wiki use in business being conducted by Penny Edwards of the Open University, UK. The survey aims to gather information from current business wiki users on how they use and manage it in different environments. From Penny: “Penny Edwards is working on a […]
When caching is not caching
Back in July last year (how time flies), I investigated how we could use caching in our products to improve the user experience. This resulting in creating a framework for serving content that can be cached on the client. We now use this for Jira, Confluence and Bamboo. The idea is that some resources (css, […]
Wiki Symposium at Queensland University of Technology
I’m in Brisbane, Australia today and tomorrow to visit Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and participate in their Wiki Symposium tomorrow. The symposium is organised around three themes — Learning and Teaching, Research, and Business Support — and is intended to bring QUT’s wiki community together to share examples, case studies, and ideas. I’ll give […]

From the Jira 3.9.3 Release Notes: The French and German language packs have been completely rewritten and are much more comprehensive than ever before. The administration sections of Jira are now […]
