I relogged and it all seems to be fixed now.
Hi folks
My name is Darrel and I am a systems administrator for Capgemini UK supporting the atlassian tools, jira, confluence, fisheye, bamboo and bitbucket for a major UK Government department... We have a clear desk policy so just the monitors and a pic of my 3 lads keep me focussed throughout the working day.
Glad to meet everyone!
Welcome, @Darrell Sutherland! 👋🏼
I need more Rick and Morty in my workday.
Hi, I'm Marina. I am working as operations manager at a company for herdbook software and genetic evaluation for livestock in Switzerland. We are using Jira, Confluence and ServiceDesk. One year ago we started to use Tempo Timesheets for timetracking which makes invoicing a lot easier.
I started implententing Jira in our processes nearly two years ago and meanwhile it would be hard to work without all these great tools. I did most of the administration to fit Jira and helped to set up Confluence spaces. Now most of the administration is done in a small team of three people and I am happy not to do all this on my own.
In my spare time I like being outdoor. I go trailrunning, hiking, kayaking and I've got a passion for riding road bike - and Switzerland is a great country for all of these activities 😉
As you see, I try to keep my desk simple but with some color. Colored notes and my coffee to go cup to keep it warm!
And: today is my birthday - so it's all a little bit relaxed! 🎉
@[deleted]Welcome & Happy B'day. Now all we want is party
@[deleted]- Viele Grüße in die Schweiz und herzlichen Glückwunsch nachträglich zu deinem Geburtstag!
@[deleted]Love the pops of color here! And happy birthday! 🎉
Hello All,
Rajesh here from Chennai. Looking forward to Learn Best Practices and Share my thoughts.
@rajesh dasaratharaman Welcome to the party! 😄
Hey Meg!
As a user group leader, I connected with your comment about small groups and just wanted to encourage you to bring folks from the teams you've onboarded (and even ones you're trying to convince)! We've had new people attend our AUG and things "clicked" for them after seeing how other companies were using the products. Seeing it in your own environment is definitely awesome, but sometimes seeing generic usage helps people get their minds out of "my own work problems" and just focus on what the tool can do.
Nice to meet you and looking forward to upvoting your answers!
Thanks Daniel!
Agree that seeing examples is hugely beneficial.
Hi All,
I'm Markus from Germany, Saarland. I start Atlassian 5 years ago als User and go my way to Administrator. We use Confluence, Jira Software and Servicedesk, Stride and Trello. I'm very sad about the out of hipchat.
I'm also look for Best Practices and Share. Help on Problems and join nice People. I was last year in Barca on the European Summit, it was awesome.
So thats all for first time :-)
Markus
@Markus Knoll, wilkommen! Sounds like you are building expertise on many of our products. Maybe a future Community Champion?
Hallo @Markus Knoll,
viele Grüße aus Hamburg ins Saarland und willkommen in der Community!
G'day All, I'm Amy from Perth, Australia, an accountant turned software tester/admin by default type user. Learning how to balance working from home while being a parent!We currently use Jira, Confluence and Capture and know there are features we can use better or don't use at all. I try to keep my desk minimal with just the screens, keyboard, drink bottle and pen/scrap paper but at the moment also have a pile of kid's books to repair on it too. Looking forward to moving my desk from next to my bed to outside in its new place...
G'day, @Amy Marley! Is that a private office? I'm so jealous! We have a garage I sometimes think I could convert to an office, but it's too full of stuff. 🤣
Looks beautiful!
Thanks @Monique vdB. I hope it to be just private office, but in reality I think it will be an office/storage/kids play-room!!
@Amy Marley I know what you mean. My daughter has a room and a closet that should be enough to hold her stuff, but somehow we have art supplies and toys and games everywhere! Right now it's a race: will I have time to get organized before she grows up and goes to college? We'll see! The clock is ticking, I only have ten years left!
My girls are 3 and 1, I hope that clicking clock race isn't over too fast for either of us...but 10 + years... its still a long race! hehehe... good luck!
Woah very cool @Amy Marley and jealous of your potential setup! I just have one girl at 1 who's barred from the basement where my desk is, but it's rather unfortunately directly underneath her usual play area. A separate non-attached space for a desk would be super nice! And looks like you get gobs of sun
@Amy Marley That looks WONDERFUL.
Thanks @Daniel Eads {unmonitored account} and @Community Manager. They definitely get up to lots of discovering mischief at 1, so totally understand the basement restriction! Perth gets sunshine for most of the year, even during winter there are still plenty of sunny days...feel lucky cause I'm def a sun lover ...esp after a long stint of computer time!
Yeah, mug is nice. I really like the owl.
I wish I had a desk like that.
An owl is a must have!

Hi
I'm Jenn from the DFW, Texas area. I started using Jira about 7 years ago and have been slowly adding knowledge of the additional Atlassian products. I just completed the Atlassian Administrator track and am about to look into certifications.
I guess it's about time I become active in the community. :-)
Welcome @Jenn McClung! If your avatar is your kitty, you owe us a pet pic here.
So glad to have your knowledge and expertise here!
Welcome @Jenn McClung! Congrats on completing the Atlassian Admin track, and PS. Adorable kitten
