Andy Gladstone Community Champion

@Humashankar VJ why do you ask? Is there a basis for this question - did you see something published stating that they would be? The ACE Attendee is still active as well as many learning related badges.

Harvesting some low hanging fruit here (tree theme!) and stating that learning more about automations in Confluence has helped me and my team save time and enhance our documentation. The more docs we have in Confluence, and the easier it is to create and update them, the less tress we will need for hand written docs and…

I'll comment today, but like tomorrow (I already hit my 100 for the day). @Monique vdB your smile does not just light up a room, it lights up the atmosphere. I second @Amanda Barber that these are OBVS your happy places!

Looks serene and idyllic @Walter Buggenhout! Thanks for sharing a slice of your life with us.

@Harsh Panchal welcome to the Atlassian Community! What specific Atlassian tools do you use today? Let us know so we can provide you direction on how to best leverage the community for personal and professional growth!

I've posted another Episode of the July-kable posts in The Watercooler. Head over, contribute and smash the like buttons! July-kable Post Series: Episode III - Your Most Likeable Places!

I'll get started. One of my most likeable places is where my wife and I first experienced the joy of Stand Up Paddleboarding. We have been visiting Greenwood Lake, NY every summer for the past seven years to go SUP'ing. It's always a fun day out, either as a couple or with our children, and gliding over the water…

Happy Birthday JPD! Thanks for filling my inbox with community forum notifications and filling our backlog with new ideas!

One of my favorite songs - Brothers in Arms - is a Knopfler classic!

Congrats to the leaders of the pack and all of those that received this shiny badge on their profiles yesterday. 

I completed the learning course and achieved the certificate! This will likely become a required module for non-Scrum team members in my organization so that we can get more understanding and cohesiveness in the processes we have adopted.

@LaShay Pinckney welcome to the Atlassian Community and welcome to Confluence! I hope your journey is rewarding and you find everything you need in here.

@Brendan Berger welcome to the Atlassian Community and welcome to Confluence! I hope your journey is rewarding and you find everything you need in here.

Truly some of the most underrated team members. I 💙 my Jira Admin, she makes our company a better place to work for everyone! 

I am eternally grateful to Chaya Pick, our team's sole Jira admin. She builds beautiful workflows and boards and is constantly changing/tweaking/updating based on feedback from a wholly ungrateful user base! We would not get work done at our company without the work she does for us!

I don't know if I would have had one before marriage, but my wife loves peonies, so we have been surrounded by them for 26 years - and I love them too!

Well, as someone with a front row seat to your heckling each Thursday, you do a great job of it @Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM! 

Always classy @Barbara Szczesniak! Great submissions. 

Another classic @Bobby Taylor - thanks for sharing! Have you ever watched all 3 in a row in one sitting?

@Trudy P Claspill the Abyss was amazing! It was cool to hear James Cameron speak about how they pulled it off at Team '23. I remember being blown away when I saw it in the theater in 1989/1990. I've only seen it once since, but now need to check where it may be streaming.

@Morgan Watts thanks for these submissions! Makes me pine for my Grateful Dead mix tape from 1993 - I hope my parents still have it in their house!

@Amanda Barber thanks for sharing! For some reason, I never really got in to Beetlejuice. I think it came out in theaters when I was just old enough to see it, but was so confused by it I have never revisited it. Maybe I should check out the musical...

@carolyn french that is an uber-classic. Can't watch it or quote it too many times! Thanks for sharing!

Andor was an amazing success at restoring the story-telling to the Star Wars Universe - and another amazing score that I have loaded on my YouTube music playlist.

Let's see who is still following this OG thread in likes for trees, Give me a like to show the love and plant some trees this July 2025!

@Huwen Arnone _Deiser_Devoteam_ thank you for contributing this inspiring story! It's amazing how many people you mention in the article that ALSO have positively affected my Community Champion experience - and we live on different sides of the Atlantic Ocean! This community is truly a global village.
