Andy Gladstone Community Champion

Feel better @Amanda Barber! Glad to hear you are still keeping active even when your favorite activity has to be limited. 

Me and two of my colleagues at Sola are signed up to attend the NYC event on January 28. We're all excited to see how we can harness the power of Rovo to make our Atlassian environment more powerful and useful to our internal users. I'll post back here again after the event with my thoughts and comments!

What an appropriate tribute to an amazing community leader/champion and even better human being. I have learned so many positive character traits just by observing them in @Jimmy Seddon. He has always set the bar that I have tried to reach in my own community participation and interactions. I think I first discovered Jimmy…

I happen to love this in concept, however, the team members in our organization generally revert to searching email or Slack for OOO messages, and until the culture changes my OOO Confluence page will be a masterpiece that no one benefits from. Maybe I should just set my internal OOO messages to a link to the Confluence…

I do not make New Year's resolutions. I try to get better each day, and won't let an arbitrary day on the Gregorian calendar dictate when my introspection starts or stops. That being said, I am in the middle of a streak of days of riding my bike at least 30 minutes, and I am trying to stretch that as far as I can - not a…

Not reflective of my real-life personality!

Looking back on 2025 I am not sure I had any super impactful game-changer moments. I did help lead a roll-out of our company goals and core values in February 2025 which shaped the way we approached work in 2025 as an organization. I also worked with our HR team to change the annual Performance Review process to be…

You are one of a kind @Jimmy Seddon. I look forward to many more years of friendship, and thank you for the years you dedicated to making the Community a better place for all of us.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community @Mehedi Hasan Tuhin. Let us know what applications you use and are interested in so we can help you along your journey!

No idea how old I am here. Probably about 2 years old. I do need to pull some baby photos from my parent's house.

For our family it's cracking open the bin of of gloves, scarves, hats and snow pants that we pack away every spring. Searching for glove/mitten pairs, seeing what fits and what needs to be handed down or donated, and setting all of the surviving items into the shelves in our mud room so they are ready for the…

I know that only a small portion of the proposed talks get selected. I'd love for Atlassian to create a listing of ideas submitted so that ACE chapters, CUGs and other Atlassian related events can benefit from selecting content or a speaker from the global database. It would be great to involve the Community Management…

It took me a few glances at the before and after to understand that this update will extend the collapsible/expandable portion of the sidebar to the menu bar area. I am not sure how much more screen real estate we will regain with this change, or why it is necessary. I do hope that this is part of a larger strategy to…

I lived across the street from a host family. Growing up they had exchange students living in their house almost every school year. They had students from Japan, Italy, France, Greece, Germany, Ireland, and Switzerland living with them through my formative years. There was often a language barrier between us kids from the…

@Personal Wealth Management LLC unfortunately there is no remote way to manipulate the Start/Stop/Pause controls when recording with Loom on any device. You need to engage with the controls on the screen with touch/keyboard/mouse. Hope this helps. 

Great instructions @Monique vdB. Very clear, and useful to keep my sanity!

@Jimmy Seddon you are not alone! I regularly check my app hygiene by cleaning up the unused apps on my iPhone. I also log in to my Apple account to make sure I am not needlessly be paying for apps that I am being billed for on a monthly basis. I recently saved over $150 annually by unsubscribing from/removing apps that I…

@Rosalina Caminade there are two ways you can cancel your plan. If you have a business plan, you should follow the steps outlined in this article: https://support.atlassian.com/loom/docs/downgrade-or-cancel-your-loom-plan/ If you are using Loom for personal use and access your account by logging in to www.loom.com, you…

Folders, folders, folders - and routing rules! I keep on top of the important work by using a very detailed filing system and over 50 rules for directing the traffic that comes in to my Inbox. Just for the Atlassian Community alone I have a folder with (14) subfolders!

@Rachel Wright your contribution/impact on the Community is immeasurable. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. There are a generation of Atlassian users and admins that owe you tuition for the free education you have provided us in your posts!

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen I am participating with a link to a previous #TBT post.

So. Much. Content. Thanks @Jimmy Seddon! 

Growing up on Long Island, Adventureland in Farmingdale was a staple of my youth. I estimate that I must have gone there at least fifty times over the 47 years of my life, most of those before I was 30. My wife and I dated in high school and broke up before my graduation. But we started talking again and seeing each other…

Besides for the comfort this show brings in our current political climate, the acting on this show was off the charts. I can binge multiple episodes in one sitting if I am not careful.

These opportunities to participate in the community and help the world be a healthier place are all fun-tastic! 

Welcome aboard @Evie Z_! You're part of the best team in the business, working with the best people in the world.

@Daria Kulikova_GitProtect_io thanks for posting! I have mentioned it here in the Atlassian Community many times that my go-to is the musical scores (not soundtracks) from movies, video games and shows. As you stated, the instrumental music is calming and helps me focus. I have the privilege of a private office, so I try…

@Marlon Aguiar I won't be available during these sessions, but as an avid Loom user I hope these will be recorded so I can review them when I am back in the office after they are completed.

Well done @Prateek, and welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Starting this month by catching up on last month! Thanks @Jimmy Seddon for the plethora of new tabs open in my browser!
