Likes for trees 🌳 Share your plant/pet & Atlassian story!

[#1]

Since we only reached 40% of our goal by July 20th, I thought it would be a good time to start another watercooler thread! 😊

Level 1: Leave a comment with a photo of your favorite plant or pet 

Level 2: Share your story about how you began your journey with Atlassian products!

Like, comment, and plant some trees together! 🌲🌴🌳

If you don't know what this is all about yet, here's a quick recap:

It's Atlassian fifth annual Likes for Trees campaign, where every like, share, and RSVP to our virtual Community events equates to one tree IRL.

The goal this year is to plant 60,000 trees, which will be planted and take care of by One Tree Planted charity.

This is my first article, so I'm not sure how it'll turn out 😊

I've been part of the Atlassian ecosystem for 4 years, ever since I started working in marketing at an Atlassian Partner company 😊

Here is a cherry tomato. Been growing it on my balcony and it's been good. I am in Atlassian ecosystem with 4 years now.

@Nikola Perisic Looks amazing!! Very impressive. I hope to plant them next year on my balcony as well 😊

[Barbara Szczesniak]

I used to be really good with plants in my younger days, but my thumb has turned from green to brown, so no pictures to share.

I have been working in the Atlassian ecosystem for about 3.5 years, since joining my current company where they wanted me to write the documentation in Confluence.

@Barbara Szczesniak hi, thank you for sharing! ☺️ Maybe in the future the greens will be back 😄

[Anwesha Pan]

You did good as your first article @Irena Śliwa _ Peakforce __ 👍🏻

and I must say your pet is cute 💕

[Anwesha Pan]

tulips are my favorite 😍 after rose 🌹 

I first started with one of the Atlassian products Jira and it’s been 10 years using it. Then I got introduced to confluence and it’s been 6 years that I have been using it for documentation and knowledge base growth in my org.

Here's our sweet pup, Penny, doing her favorite thing - basking in the sun and waiting for someone to play with her!

And here's our cat, Boba! It took him a long time to settle into our family, but he's finally made it! :)

I started using Atlassian products 6 years ago at my first software company job - the first job I had after leaving 12 years as a Kindergarten teacher! I loved the tools so much and I've continued using them through 3 more jobs...and even became a Community Leader Champion! I love to help people be more efficient and work better together - especially in remote roles.

[Liz Nixon]

@Amanda Barber as a former kindergarten teacher, I'll bet you adopted the role of Community Champion with ease! You're an excellent fit and extremely helpful, and I thank you!

[Liz Nixon]

@Amanda Barber Penny is so adorable! I want to go to her and play lol!

[Liz Nixon]

Oh! And @Amanda Barber Boba is simply marvelous!

[Amanda Barber]

Penny would love that, @Liz Nixon 😅

[Bobby Taylor]

Thanks @Irena Śliwa _ Peakforce __, your dog is so cute! I love Penny and Boba too @Amanda Barber!

This is Gary the pug. He loves snuggling and long walks on the beach. Actually, that's not entirely true, he prefers short walks and couches.

Meet us: I’m an Atlassian apps developer, and this is my little plant - the real star of the team. 🌿

We both work hard, grow fast, and occasionally need a little support from the community :)

[Karolina from Vilisoft]

Meet Rubin, my Irish Setter. He loves forests, long walks, and making sure I don't spend the whole day in front of my laptop 😄 Happy to support this great initiative!

[Dorota Popowska - Vilisoft]

Planting trees? I’m in! 🌳 I love trees and already have quite a few of them around me, although apparently there is always room for much more.

Jira appeared right at the beginning of my professional life, and Atlassian products have been with me ever since. At this point, it is less of a journey and more of a long-term relationship 😊

[Irena Śliwa _ Peakforce __]

@Barbara Szczesniak that's a great motto! 🌲
