Andy Gladstone Community Champion

I'll be attending virtually this year and have taken @Jimmy Seddon's advice seriously by blocking time on my calendar. Luckily, I am East Coast based so I'll be able to get a good block of work done each day before joining livestreams. For those that cannot attend in person, registering for the digital experience is free…

My go-to template is the Meeting Minutes template. I have spruced it up a bit and saved it as a blueprint so that all of the relevant fields (and emojis) are there when I launch it from the template selector. This helps me ensure that there is a focus for our in person/virtual meetings and a place to document discussions,…

Eye-opening analysis. I have some pages with over 30 status lozenges on them and never realized how much time it was taking to apply updates. You've sold me on trying the product to see how it can solve this issue.

I saw that too, but the question which 120 minutes over the next 2.5 months? That's quite a large target with a very small bullseye.

I forgot to thank all of the ACE Leaders and assistants! Thank you @Dileep Bhat, @Madhusudhan Matrubai and @Justinian Difo for all of your hard work alongside @Kapil Samadhiya to make this a success. Thank you @Howard Eberhart for the pictures, and @Viktoriya Borisova for always being there as a resource for the NYC…

I love when a Miscellaneous Monday post teaches me miscellanea that I did not previously know! Thank you for your contribution @Susan Waldrip! 

The NYC chapter’s event was last week and was both well attended and had amazing speakers! Anyone interested can read the recap here: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/New-York-articles/Recap-Jira-for-all-Teams-ACE-Roadshow-2025/ba-p/2973480?

On top of every page of notes I have in front of me when presenting to a live crowd I have the words written in ALL CAPS - BREATHE, SPEAK SLOWLY, SPEAK CLEARLY, PACE YOURSELF - to remind me to remain focused on the content and the crowd and not to lose one due to too much concentration on the other.

I'm registered for the Unlock the Power of Loom for Leadership Teams webinar and looking forward to seeing how we can increase the use of Loom and decrease the number of meetings necessary!

100% weekend warrior (when I want to be). I am too busy during the week to do any home maintenance or projects that involve more than cleaning up the current mess in an area of the house. Weekends are for the big tasks, and as the weather improves in the Northeast US, those projects will take me from inside to outside. Not…

@Amanda Barber kudos to you for reinvigorating the Friday posts in the community with this new brand and vibe! I hope to take a date when I am ready to commit, but in the meantime I am enjoying the contributions already. Thank you!

@Varsha Patel thank you for the detailed FAQ and timeline clarifications in this article. It will help us all when our internal users and the broader community have questions related to the new experience to know when and who this is enabled for.

Two and half months is quite a long period for a potential outage. Will there be any updates as the maintenance window for specific customers gets closer? I anticipate this leading to a large number of requests in the community and the better we can communicate in advance, the more service requests we can help deflect.

@Abhinav Singh will the floating panel be populated based on the user's most frequently used editing tools, or the general population's? I am hoping it will be based on the user's as this will drive better adoption. Also, along the lines of @Eugene Victorov's question, are Live Docs now just the name for a page that was in…

Ms. Silver, my 11th and 12th grade English Composition and Literature Teacher was one of the mentors that had the greatest impact on my life. She brought the material to life and made us all want to read the books rather than get by with the Cliffs Notes. She challenged us to analyze the works of literary giants and look…

@Betty Sheu thanks for the publish (or pointer) and the updated experience. I'm looking forward to being able to manage more from a single pane of glass in our Cloud Premium environment. 

@Betty Sheu thanks for the publish and the updated experience. I'm looking forward to being able to manage more from a single pane of glass in our Cloud Premium environment. 

I'm signed up for a few of these and looking forward to the information to be shared!

@Patricia Modispacher _k15t_ I won't be at Team '25 Anaheim (still hoping that there may be a Europe version later in the year that works in to my schedule) but will need to book some time in the near future to see how Aura can help us spice up our Confluence instance. Enjoy Team!

@Han Limburg unfortunately it is not an add-on you can purchase to enable on Confluence Cloud Standard. Company Hub is included in the pricing of Premium and Enterprise subscriptions only. You would need to upgrade to Premium to benefit from the feature. You can get a free 30 day trial of Premium where you can enable and…

Great topic! I struggle with the follow-up after the meeting or non-meeting. Finding the time to put out the action items and next steps based on the discussions, instead of diving headfirst back in to the work that piled up during the meeting, is my default. I know that my team suffers by my not striking while the iron is…

My first alarm goes off at 5:20AM, but I really wake up for the 2nd alarm at 5:30AM. The first alarm is just to pull me out of deep or REM sleep into a light sleep state so that my brain is prepared for the 5:30AM alarm. I wake up my wife (her gym class is at 6AM) and turn on a low level light in the room - just enough…

Love this concept of Office Hours from the platform team. So many new features in the cloud products and so many admins are really lost on how it all ties together. I hope this is a highly utilized resource.

@Barbara Szczesniak and @Stephen_Lugton I just can't bring myself to read from a screen. I love the smell and sensation of a paperback or hardcover in my hand. Even when I travel, I will always bring a physical book along. I'll continue to display my smudges ink badges of honor on my nose and forehead! 

Book Hangover manifests itself for me in my dreams. When I am absorbed in a book or series, I start to dream about the characters and universe that the story takes place in. I know I am thoroughly enjoying a book when I fall asleep with it on my chest (my wife makes fun of when I fall asleep with it on my face too) and my…

@Barbara Szczesniak the How We Built This series is focused on educating end-users and admins on how a feature was built and the best practices and use cases related to us of the feature. I hope this answers your inquiry! 

I have no culinary skills, but my 11 year old daughter and I have been bonding over the Betty Croker in recent weeks. We started a Saturday night tradition of making sourdough pizza in the Betty Crocker and some heavenly hot cocoa and eating together at the dining room table with some music and candlelight. She looks…

@Adam Wardlow welcome to the Atlassian Community. I agree that there is a distinct difference in the target audience and voice for marketing campaigns and product communications. But amazing product and release notes won't gain you a single customer without the marketing campaign. I look at it as 1 and 1A. 1: Teams need to…

@Rajiv K_V welcome to the Atlassian Community! You should join the Atlassian Intelligence & Rovo group to learn more from the Atlassian Intelligence experts in the community, which may inform your approach to this project. Good luck!

Here are some of the events I will be attending as part of my contribution to 10 for Change! * Redo the Redesign? Alex, Darryl, and Matt debate the new Atlassian designs * Confluence for Agile Teams * Jiravengers VS The Underdogs | Round 12 - QuizWiz Trivia Championship * Let's Explore the All New Confluence, Together! *…
