Thank you, Jimmy: 5 x 5 x 5 💙

If you’ve spent any time in the Atlassian Community over the last few years, there’s a good chance you’ve crossed paths with one of our most beloved recurring series: the monthly Community Round-up.

What started as a simple, thoughtful way to highlight great conversations quickly became a monthly community storytelling delight. And behind every single one of those posts has been Community Champion @Jimmy Seddon

With December 2025’s Five By Five round-up, Jimmy has officially wrapped up this series after an incredible run. As community managers, moderators, fellow members, and Atlassians, we want to take a moment to say a huge, heartfelt thank you and celebrate what he’s created here.

Jimmy published his first Community Round-up on December 30, 2020, and his final one on January 1, 2026. In that time, he:

• Wrote and shared 61 round-up articles

• Reached 206,574 page views

• Inspired 2,474 likes

• Sparked 581 comments across the series

• Earned dozens of kudos for writing great content 

Those aren’t just numbers. Behind each view, like, and comment is a person who discovered something new, felt seen, found an answer, or simply felt more connected to this community because he took the time to curate and highlight what mattered.

You can browse many of his posts here.

Thank you for everything you’ve contributed to the community over the years; it really hasn’t gone unnoticed.

I try to keep up with Atlassian news on a daily basis, but your round-ups always managed to surface something I might have missed.

Huge thanks, and well-deserved appreciation 👏

I really wasn't expecting this.  @Monique vdB and everyone else, thank you so much!  The reason I started this series was to help elevate all the cool things that people are doing.  So, please don't stop making cool articles, I'll still be around to like them all!
