Kudos Release Notes | September 2, 2025

[#1]

G’day, Atlassian Community! 👋🏻

September crept up on me SO QUICK, so we’re a little behind on this month’s Kudos goodies, but I promise the wait was worth it!

New - become a Rovo Ranger 🤠

Howdy, partner! There’s only room in this town for one phenomenal explorer—will it be you? Don your (virtual) cowboy hat, wrangle some knowledge, and connect with fellow AI and Rovo fans.

Giddy up to claim your spot among the Rovo Rangers - find all the details here! 🌟

Back & better than ever - send peer recognitions on Community Profiles! 🙌

In case you haven’t caught our larger Community Release Notes yet, Recognition Kudos on Community Profiles is finally returning! While visiting another user’s profile, click the “give [username] recognition” button in the Kudos section:

Select a reason for sending that user recognition and send:

Last but not least, celebrate spreading the love across the Community!

Please note that when sending Recognitions to users with multiple linked accounts, the recognition will be received by the account with the highest Kudos activity.

As a reminder and a little cherry on top - when you send a Recognition to another user, you also earn the Random Acts of Community Kudos badge + 10 points for yourself too! 💖

ICYMI - Rising Star Bootcamp

Last month, Contributors on Forums got a major upgrade - a whole bootcamp of challenges to support their growth to Rising Stars and beyond! 🚀

If you’re having “wait, what the heck are contributors” moment, never fear - Community Manager @Angelie Stephens has got you with all of the details. 🤩

On the Horizon - Apptoberfest '25

I’d be remiss if I didn’t take a tiny portion of our release notes this month to look ahead to my personal favorite time of year - Halloween season! 🎃

I’ll keep it short and sweet because there are TONS of treats coming your way! Every October, our App Central group hosts festivities of demos + discussions and we have been cooking up some extra fun for this year’s event!

That’s all I’ll share for now (since I don’t want to spoil our spooky season spirits), but stay tuned for our next edition of Kudos Release Notes for everything Apptoberfest '25!

Thanks for sharing @PJ Zaiac, I just tested the peer recognition on your profile, it works like a charm. Glad it's back!

[Amanda Barber]

Woohoo, so glad to see the peer recognition feature is back! 

[Dan Breyen]

It's always good for a couple of different people to test the new functionality, right?  Thanks @PJ Zaiac !
