James O'Connor Community Champion

Like many others, I'd have to go with GitHub for Atlassian!

AI Champion! 

Great webinar and great content, thank you! I'm actually building out an AI adoption roadmap for my team at the moment so it's super relevant! All three tips really connect with me, but I guess the one that stands out the most is Tip #3 as it mentions also sharing failures. I think we sometimes get caught up in only…

That's a great one @Brita Moorus - I love Atomic Habits! I also have a serious addiction to leadership and personal development books. Diary of a CEO is one that has hit hard fairly recently, and Head & Heart by Kirstin Ferguson is also worth checking out. 

My home office is where all my books live too @Katherine Jones, although I can't quite claim wall-to-wall. I have a floor to ceiling bookshelf behind me that always gets comments from people on video chats - most don't believe it's real. I hadn't heard of that short story collection, thanks Katherine - I'll track it down!…

I can definitely relate to that feeling @Barbara Szczesniak - when I moved from the UK to Australia I came with a small pile of books and that was all I needed! Having both new and familiar worlds to explore or return to really helped me ease into a new life. I've heard a lot of good things about A Wrinkle in Time and I'm…

That's so great to hear @Anahit Sukiasyan! I love the fact that you run a book club - I've always wanted to join one but I tend to have several books on the go at any one time so it sometimes takes me a while to finish a book. All Quiet on the Western Front has been on my list of books to read forever - it sounds like I…

Thanks @Amanda Barber! 😊 Those books look really interesting! I'll check them out, thanks! That's a depressing statistic and looking around it seems to be a widespread issue - reading rates in Australia are going the same way. Hopefully we can turn it around though. My daughter absolutely loves books and spends most of her…

Hi @Omer Meshar, yes the ability to add types is part of the Standard tier, only connecting those types is part of the Premium tier. We are on Standard and use multiple types successfully. More info can be found here: Configure your type of ideas and their hierarchies | Jira Product Discovery | Atlassian Support

Great topic @Daria Kulikova_GitProtect_io! For me it definitely depends on the type of work that I'm doing. If I need to focus and deep dive on something then I'll head for either a jazz or electronic playlist, sometimes edging over into ambient depending on how I'm feeling. When I'm pounding out something repetitive that…

Love that Chase & Status set, thanks @Morgan Watts!

Awesome photos @Walter Buggenhout - that definitely looks like a great holiday! I have never been able to master the trick of 'easing in' to holidays, it always ends up being a final few days of panic and screaming followed by a hard stop where I switch my laptop off and turn notifications off on my phone. On the return, I…

This is such perfect timing, thank you @Kristen Roth! I am just building out our corporate knowledge base supporting both admins and users, and this is exactly the kind of thing that I want to populate it with.

Woo hoo! This Community is the BEST! Such a great place to be, so supportive, so thoughtful, and now so record-setting! Well done to everyone who took part and thank you to Atlassian and all the great Community Managers and Champions that made it such a roaring success! @Monique vdB you rock, @Amanda Barber your updates…

What a great initiative! And for anyone in Sydney, there's still time to register for our next event which is on tomorrow! See Unlocking Rovo and Atlassian Intelligence with Trust & Governance at Atlassian Community Events Sydney

Thanks so much @Nadia Burborough, really appreciate you sharing that information.

That's good to hear @Andrew Zimmerman - unexpected wins when you're expecting the worst are even sweeter. My win for the week was finding out that my business case for moving up to the Teamwork Collection was approved - can't wait to get my hands on all that Premium goodness! Also interested to see what we can do with Loom.

Agree with a lot of others - summarising comments ftw! We have a huge amount of comments on most of our tickets so being able to summarise quickly will save a lot of time.

I just got exactly the same message @Nadia Burborough - I'd be very interested to hear what response you get from Support!

Hi @Amanda Barber, can I take September 12th please?

Congrats to the winners! What a great initiative to get people involved and connected with the purpose and values of the Community - great work @Summer Mahmoud!

Definitely Roadmaps and Hierarchies for me!

What an inspiring story @Hye-Jin Kim! And it was great to meet you on Orbiit. It's people such as yourself that make this Community such a great place to be. Hopefully I can see one of your presentations in person one day!

Thank you @Hermance NDounga, I will raise that ticket now. 

Woo hoo! That's so great to hear! And thank you @Amanda Barber for the tree-o-meter updates!

Great topic @Daria Kulikova_GitProtect_io! My go-to stress relieving tactics are: 1. Get to the gym - getting out of my head and switching my focus to lifting something heavy really helps me to reset. If I've had a stressful morning at work, I always find that hitting the gym at lunchtime makes the afternoon much easier 2.…

Thank you all so much for the amazing work that you do - I've always told anyone that would listen that Atlassian Learning is one of the best examples of online training that I've ever used, and I've used a LOT. Every course that I've done has been really engaging and I always come out with some new piece of knowledge. 

That's a great inspiration to have @Barbara Szczesniak and I love that you've found a way to maximise the impact that you can have!

Me too @Shawn Doyle - ReleaseTEAM! 😄

Thank you @Brita Moorus, that's a great point! It's so easy to get wrapped in the idea that making a positive impact has to be a huge gesture which can make it seem impossible to achieve, when those small actions can make a massive difference in somebody's day.
