Hi everyone!

I'm happy to join the community! I've been a user for a few years and finally take the time to share with the community.

I'm now based in Singapore where I enjoy living, working as a QA Manager and travelling around. If you come by, let me know :)

On my desk:

• Family photo
• A plant
• Tea (I love good tea!)
• Headphones
• And I used to have a fish, but it died... So now I just keep plants as it scares my colleagues that a new fish could die. I wonder why...😄 

Have a good day!

[Marine Lacourie]

Now we want to see how messy a desk can be 😄 

[Anurag Jalan]

Welcome Marine. I am also working with a financial firm in Singapore with major focus on few of the atlassian products.

[Marine Lacourie]

Nice! Have you joined the Atlassian User Groups meetups before?

[Anurag Jalan]

Not yet. However, I am planning to attend the next one whenever it happens.

[Anurag Jalan]

Have you attended?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

My desk is a little different today.  I have an "assistant"

[Jodi LeBlanc]

So adorable @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- 🐈 I also love your office, looks amazing 😊

[Erica Moss]

Welcome, @Marine Lacourie! Now I want a plant for my desk. 🌱

[Thomas Schlegel]

Oh, I also want such an assistant - very nice.

She's taking care of the really hard questions, I think?  :-) 

[Erica Moss]

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- Seems like a bit of a micromanager.

[Jodi LeBlanc]

@Community Manager  too funny! 😹

[Monique vdB]

I would say your assistant is very beautiful, but I think that's an inappropriate comment for the workplace. 

[Monique vdB]

Welcome @Marine Lacourie! I have a glass fish on my desk that I got in Venice, which I cannot kill.

And I loved Singapore when I visited there a few years ago. I still miss the dragonfruit drink from the Hawker market -- you can't get that here. :(

[Marine Lacourie]

@Anurag Jalan Yes, I attend since last year, and now just became an organiser / leader.

Please join the next one, there are some interesting presentations and it's nice to discuss after the meetup.

@Community Manager It's sooo nice to have a plant on a desk. If you like nature and plants, you should definitely get one. I've got the one on my desk for 2 years and it's still growing.

@Monique vdB Haha yeah, I should get a glass or plastic fish. Any plan to visit again SEA? I have to admit that food and fresh juices here are amazing 🙂

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

@Community Manager- George likes to think she rules the house.

[Jodi LeBlanc]

I love her name, that was my grandmother’s name but everyone called her Georgie 💖

[Anurag Jalan]

@Marine Lacourie definitely will join next time . Hope to catch eveyone there

[Leo Diaz - Deiser]

Hello everyone!

My desk on my birthday ^_^

[Anurag Jalan]

@Leo Diaz - Deiser wowwwwww.....looks amazing

[Thomas Schlegel]

Happy Birthday, @Leo Diaz - Deiser !

[Leo Diaz - Deiser]

Thanks!! :)

[Meg Holbrook]

Hey all!

My name is Meg and I am the JIRA system administrator and Business Applications Lead for a midsize mortgage company located in Sacramento, CA. I administer both Cloud and Server products. Some of my other roles include technical/training writing, designing press releases on new features, creating program integrations, and managing our enterprise help desk.

I'm leading the charge for Atlassian products in my organization and am constantly looking for new teams to onboard (five so far!). It's been a bit difficult to connect with the nearest AUG (San Francisco), but I'm excited to see that there's a brand new one in Sacramento even though there are only two members. 

I attended the Atlassian Summit 2017 and had a great time listening to keynotes and meeting vendors. I learned a lot from the admin class I attended as well as the breakout sessions... the snacks were also great ^_^

My goals this year are to find enough time to get around to my admin cert as well as to develop a deeper connection to the Atlassian community. Up to this point, I've been a forum lurker. I would love to find more ways to contribute. 

On my desk:

Plants, coffee cups in various stages of 'caffeine-ation', and more pens than I could ever use in my life.
