Interview with CustomWare
Here’s another interesting case study from one of our neighbors in Sydney. CustomWare Asia Pacific designs, builds, and supports integrated business systems and portal solutions for multinational companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Sony & Corporate Express. The company not only customizes Jira and Confluence to build and support industrial-grade online systems for its clients, […]
Wikis for the Enterprise
Does higher pricing mean greater value? The pricing-to-value phenomenon is discussed as a factor in selling consumer products, but does it play in enterprise software? The reality is that many companies don’t consider something “enterprise” unless it has a big price tag associated with it. Something must be “wrong” with it if it isn’t priced […]

Scandinavian Users Group
This post caught my eye — the Scandinavian Confluence and Jira users group, or SCJUG. It’s always really cool to see community-driven projects like this and we’re happy to support them in any way we can. If you have a users group for either Jira or Confluence and want some free publicity, just let us […]

Wiki Goes to College of Design
By their nature, wikis are ideal for research collaboration. That’s probably why you can find a great many colleges and universities installing wikis for campus-wide use. That’s the case with Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication in London where Confluence was selected. “There’s nothing quite like this in an educational context.” Read all about it […]
Codegeist goes Scandinavian
We started in Sydney, we’re up next in San Francisco on the 28th, and then we’re headed to Sweden! One of our generous users has offered to host a meetup in Uppsala, just a bit north of Stockholm. I can’t promise that any Atlassian developers will be there, but there will be some skilled users […]

Johann Sebastian Wiki
Whenever I have to explain to someone what a wiki is, I invariably mention wikipedia because just about everybody knows it. But the next time I have to show someone a wiki, my first choice without a doubt is the Bach Academie de Montreal… … which clearly blows away most wikis in terms of presentation. […]
CVS Commit Message of the Week
And the award for CVS commit message of the week goes to (drumroll..) Jeremy!
Codegeist Meetup #1 vs SyXPAC
OK I’m bitter. I admit it. If only I’d started at Atlassian a few months later I would have been eligible to enter the Codegeist Plugin Coding Competition. No kilobucks for me. So when I heard about the Sydney Codegeist Meetup, I realised an opportunity to channel my bitterness into forcing unsuspecting attendees to hear […]
In Conversation with Near Infinity
Seems enterprise wikis are still a best kept secret. Sure, there are plenty of people who think wikis are great for writing lists, but as our brilliant customers know, a wiki can be a whole lot more. Many companies own mega-expensive knowledge management and collaboration systems, which are cumbersome. Wikis, however, invite adoption. Companies find […]
RecentChangesCamp
Mike and I attended RecentChangeCamp this past weekend. It was great experience: we met some cool folks, participated in some provocative conversations, and go to see a little bit of Portland. we both blogged about the conference. Read more from Mike and from me.
To Catch A ThreadDump
Ever needed to know which thread was blocking another from executing? Then take a look at the thread dump!
