Andy Gladstone Community Champion

Looking forward to joining this session a little later this morning! 

How I always feel when receiving Kudos from Community members.

@Dave LIAO you know me well enough to know that I am the person that the ice-breakers are intended for, otherwise I'll just sit quietly in my corner hoping that no one speaks to me. 99% of the time, I am the ice. That being said, my favorite 'hey I don't know you, but I'm going to ask you a question that coming from a…

It's important to note that this is for the Amsterdam Atlas Camp (February 9-13, 2026). There are still another to come in Bengaluru, India (June 2-3, 2026). https://events.atlassian.com/atlascamp26

I really welcome the efforts, particularly around content lifecycle management and the editor improvements. There was a time in 2025 I just stopped posting because the effort to publish meaningful posts was too frustrating. Thank you!

To add to @Bill Sheboy's request, there has been previous discussions about placing a banner across the top of the community when there is an issue that is significantly affected community.atlassian.com performance. Surly if every page I ever visit I can be prompted to answer whether it was helpful, this can be repurposed…

I am a big fan of the new Forums bugs thread! Hoping this will alleviate multi-posts from multiple forum users. I read the page and would suggest that some clarification be posted about whether Kudos working/not working/not found should be reported there or in a different thread in the Community Contests & Kudos group.

Reading the notes while listening to the author speak about this on a webinar is a very meta experience. Thanks for this publish @Tiffany Scolnic! 

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen I cannot believe that 25 years ago was 2001. My knee hurts, I slept funny so my back hurts, but this post is what made me feel old today. @Kris Klima _K15t_ now I know where your writing prowess comes from! 25 years ago next week our oldest child was born. It was, and still is, the scariest day of…

Yay Team! And @Amanda Barber - awesome getting this done! I am excited to take the revamped course, cannot wait to post a successful cert!

This link is now part of our company onboarding guide. I love the effort being put in to remove barriers to adoption and use.

Already paying for Guard, and using it's functionality minimally. Looking to maximize the investment with the content from this webinar.

As an organization with Guard installed and being paid for, I am looking forward to this webinar so we can begin using it as intended.

Musical scores (not soundtracks) from films and plays. I can't listen to music with lyrics or podcasts (like @Amanda Barber) when I need to get in the work zone. For indoor rides on Zwift it can be anything from the above OR 90's grunge music. Anything where I can belt out the lyrics when in the pain cave helps the time…

@Ben Ostrowski with the NYC stop of the RovoCon tour taking place tomorrow, this is such a timely drop for me and my organization. I'm certainly going to see how we can use this play, and what we learn at RovoCon, to have purposeful discussion around our AI tools and adoption.

So happy that the weather has changed my plans and I can now attend the NYC ACE event AND RovoCon! @Matt Reiner _K15t_ I see your session on February 26 and can't wait to take the skills learned at these NYC based events and put them in to practice.

@Dave LIAO how well you know me! I have participated in a similar event here in the US. They raise over $10M each year. Bike 4 Chai supports the efforts of Chai Lifeline to improve the lives of children with illness, and started specifically focused on children stricken with cancer and has expanded to include a multitude…

I really struggled between the Mic Drop and Truth Bomb GIF for this. @Bill Sheboy as always you are on the mark and I fully support your suggestions. My feed and notifications are bursting with Kudos mining posts.

This popping in to my Confluence was a pleasant surprise. I am wondering how (as an admin) I can see who else in my organization has taken advantage of this? Also, is there a master list of all of the personality types?

@Hadley Springer will these be recorded and available on demand? I cannot make the live session on February 4, but would really like to understand the Loom AI Meeting Recorder better as I am in the process of choosing a tool to help with all of the Zoom meetings I am on each week.

We're glad you chose the path less travelled by, it has made all of the difference to us in the Community and beyond!

Team sticky notes all the way. Anytime I can put a pen to paper I know that there will be greater results than hiding my ideas away on a page or screen I may never revisit. 3x3 Post-It notes are a staple on my desk.

In my community I volunteer on multiple boards for educational institutions. Some of the greatest personal feelings of fulfillment have come from the work I have done on these committees. And here too, in the Atlassian Community Forums. Although I have been less active in the past year, I still feel a sense of…

@Monique vdB 💙 'Thank you, thank you, the wind beneath my wings'. Thank you for sharing this poignant post. Wherever @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- is now, I know he is raising a cup of tea to toast this post. We used to say, come for the Kudos, stay for the Community. But really at it's essence it's always been come for the…

I have fond memories of the days when I had time to compete for a top-10. Alas life and work have gotten in the way, but to these dedicated volunteers from failing hands we throw. The torch; be yours to hold it high!

I'm a cyclist, not a runner. I don't know how to run. My pace and breathing strategy are always off. I start like Usain Bolt and finish like an injured elephant. However, my 21 and 24 year old sons are runners, and are each signed up for some fulls and halfs this year. The best part for me is working with my 12 year old…

My first musical instrument experience was when my older brother (older by 3 years) started playing clarinet as part of his school's music program in the 4th grade. I remember being supremely jealous of him, and as a good younger brother would always sneak the instrument out of his case when he was not around. Well,…

As an avid cyclist there is no better physical, mental and emotional release than being on the bike. In the winter I spend a lot of time on Zwift, and enjoy pushing myself through virtual worlds while maintaining my fitness (and sanity). Over the past 16 months I have really tried to cut down the amount of unnecessary…
