James O'Connor Community Champion

Thank you @Allister and @Andrew Culver - I just came back to this and I've created a nice link straight to the chat using the method that Andrew suggested. It works a treat! Thanks for your help.

Great topic @Amanda Barber! I loved rollercoasters when I was younger and used to make a point of dragging my Dad on the biggest, scariest ones that we could find. Now I'm old(er) I find them harder to stomach, but thanks to the circle of life my daughter drags me on them anyway. 🤣 I remember the exact moment that it…

@Amanda Barber you could always start with the old 80s David Lynch version - worth it for the sight of Sting dancing around in a codpiece at least 🤣 @Liz Nixon I know what you mean - I watched both parts at the cinema the first time around and enjoyed them more for the technical aspects than anything, I didn't really…

Great idea @Amanda Barber! It's so hard to choose amongst everything, but the thing that sticks in my head the most at the moment is the rewatch of Dune parts 1 and 2 that I just completed ahead of part 3 coming out in a few months. I'm not sure why but I liked them both way more the second time around - and I liked them…

Excellent write-up @Martin Runge and @Zarogina Azocar Velasquez - the new badges look fantastic, and as @__ Jimi Wikman said, it makes me want to get them all!

This is from the Chinese Garden of Friendship in the middle of Sydney - I've been going there for over 20 years, and I'm still blown away by this little oasis of calm in the middle of such a busy city. It really makes you feel like you're in another place entirely, and I love the willow trees.

Fantastic, thanks for letting us know @Darryl Lee and @__ Jimi Wikman!

Congrats to the prize winners! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

My passion project at the moment is actually about reducing rather than growing - decluttering my house! As a family we just have way too much 'stuff', so we're trying to reduce everything and streamline. I've even managed to convince my daughter to do the same - she just spent most of today (the last day of school…

+1 to @Josh idea of scheduled publishing, that would be really useful.

Welcome @Bill Craft! I agree with @Viswanathan Ramachandran - Atlassian Learning is a great place to start, and I'd also spend some time just going through the discussion groups in the forum and joining any that spark your interest. I hope you find the Community as welcoming and helpful a place as I have.

I love that idea @Viswanathan Ramachandran - a security cert that focuses on the collaboration layer is such a great way of explaining it. It's also triggered a realisation in me that Atlassian is sorely missing a Product Management stream of certs too - as avid users of JPD that's something we would really be interested…

This is so timely that it makes me wonder if you've got a secret camera set up in my office... 🤣

Great photos again @Arkadiusz Wroblewski! I've only been to Turkiye once, and my one experience of Istanbul was running through the airport to make a connecting local flight - I would love to go back and actually spend time there as I've heard great things. 

I love the Configuration Health idea @zoltanersek _outpostlabs_dev_ - that would be immensely helpful.

That's such a great point @AGASTYA SHARMA, thank you for posting it! It's so important for everyone to have a voice in forums like these, because everyone knows something that most other people don't and sharing it can make a huge difference to someone else. I thought along the same lines when I first joined the community…

I'm definitely one of those other admins that would love to see this removed!

Really glad to see this feature - I've been wanting something like this for a while. It hasn't appeared on my instance yet but I look forward to building it into our ways of working when it pops up.

Congrats everyone! Great effort!

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing @Arkadiusz Wroblewski My biggest surprise recently was Santorini - I knew it would be beautiful, but I had heard that it was too busy and figured that the crush of tourists would ruin the experience, so I was looking forward to other parts of my Greece trip instead. When I actually got…

That's awesome @Jimmy Seddon! 

A tiny joy for me recently was my daughter telling me about a great film that she had discovered that she wanted us all to watch together - it turned out to be Howl's Moving Castle. If I had tried to introduce her to it there's a fair chance that she would have rejected it (as per my recent experience introducing her to…

Welcome @Adedoyinsola_Sanni! I'd definitely echo @Bobby Taylor and say to join Likes for Trees, but outside of that I'd say to just explore the different Forum groups and join a few that are relevant to you or interest you, then see what questions you can answer or conversations that you can contribute to in those forums.…

I use Rovo as a thinking partner - someone to bounce ideas off of and review things that I've created. One of the best agents that I've created so far is a critical reviewer that I can use to point out the holes in my Confluence pages.

@Monique vdB beat me to the Jacaranda, so I'll have to go with the good old Monkey Puzzle tree (otherwise known as Araucaria araucana), just because I've been fascinated with them since I first saw them as a kid.

Hi Gor, I'd recommend Alex Ortiz and Rodney Nissen's course on YouTube: (1) Atlassian Certified Professional ACP 620 FULL COURSE (2025) - YouTube Good luck with the exam!

Awesome work @Jimmy Seddon, thanks!

Hey @Darryl Lee, Yes, that's correct - we've claimed the domain, everyone gets rerouted through SSO, and we manually invite users using the 'Invite users' button. I sat with a user a few months back and watched him click on the link in the "You've been invited to Jira" email and go through the initial steps, and nothing…

@Sonal Malik Unfortunately, that doesn't really solve the problem. In order to delete organisations, Rovo has to be removed not just disabled, and the only way that can be done is by the Atlassian support team.
