Monique vdB Community Manager

I am very goal-oriented and I set at least 10 resolutions every year and then score myself on my resolutions. I track them all in my old Livejournal (lol, creature of habit) on a monthly basis, which keeps them top of mind. Just looking at the last few of years, in 2017 I scored 75% and in 2018 I scored 95%. This year I'm…

@Kelvin A Hill sorry but indeed, the name might be confusing to people and we do need to change it. ETA: I took a closer look and the thread was clearly created in bad faith. Please continue to raise bugs in JAC, and we'll stay in close touch with the product team about upcoming fixes. 

@Esme Crutchley I have a Google doc that I use for this but it is not as pretty or as well-organized as this Trello board! I love this!

@Marianne Miller you'll likely get it soon as you keep answering questions and getting accepted answers. 😉Welcome!!

Olallieberry pie is delicious, and elf on the shelf confuses me too. 🤣 Love this theme and so excited to read the updates all month!!

@Poorvi Jhawar I think the one where Brad Pitt guest starred is my favorite. I know @Darline Auguste likes the football Thanksgiving episode. 

@Valerie Christine Knapp you got it! Also do you know the song Valerie Loves Me? I love that song and I always think of it when I meet someone named Valerie!

@Vinod Ramadoss I know it's not quite Friday yet but posting my reminder now thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. You can start your thread anytime!

@Gregory Kneller I see, I see. We may have to do this manually then. Please email communitymanagers@atlassian.com with the following: * A link to your new Community profile (the one associated with your company email address) * A link to your old Community profile (the one associated with your personal email address and…

@Gregory Kneller here is an article with more details. We can't merge accounts but you can change the email address on your preferred account. Try this: I need to change my email address but don't want to lose my history! You can update your email address on your Atlassian account. *…

@eddieblundell that is so cool! Is there a way to manually add a number too?

@Devon Henderson Song of Achilles is one of the 17 books I have checked out! I put it on hold immediately after finishing Circe. I'm in the middle of two other books right now though. Must.... read... faster...

@Emilee my goal for the year was 75, and I'm on 85 now. I don't know if I'll make it to 100 but I wouldn't be surprised! I used to never give up on books but now that I have discovered the library, I have lost the guilt about not finishing a book if I'm not enjoying it. @Devon Henderson A timely question! I always pick my…

@Robert Lauriston ah okay. Well I am the community manager for this platform and I handle all the badges. So I am here to take action. If anyone else is seemingly "stuck" on level two, let me know and I can help troubleshoot. 

Overdrive, as mentioned above, plus Kindle Reader on my phone. I basically have a book* with me at all times. Lately I've been enjoying playing RCT Classic, the Android app is actually decent! And after many false starts with apps that didn't quite work for me, I landed on Castbox for podcasts, and I really like it. *lol I…

@Miles B. ooh this is very intriguing! My partner does all this for our joint trips but when I travel solo I am less than organized. 

@Devon Henderson oh yes, I use Overdrive! I actually downloaded Libby but have five (that's right, five) different library cards set up with Overdrive already and haven't made the time to switch over. I also can't find a few of the cards anymore.... 

@Kathleen Kenney the first rule of Level 9 is not to talk about Level 9. But you might be interested in taking a look at Jodi's badge collection... 😉

@Robert Lauriston that does seem odd. The only thing I can think of is that the badge requires you to start one thread and the badge was launched in February 2018. You haven't started any threads since then. You could try asking a question or starting a discussion, or even join our Atlassian Authors program and write an…

@kisstrin you might want to check out our New to Jira content which has some good content for new users. You can also ask more specific questions about what you're trying to do. It should not require you to also purchase Confluence.

@Brant Schroeder okay this makes sense! When we go to the mountains and it's snowy I stay inside and play board games. Or I sit in a hot tub and let the snow drift onto me. I do not do the snowshoe thing. But like if there was a cool owl in the forest I could see only if I snowshoed, I would do it! 

Lots of thoughtfully expressed responses here, thank you for that, and for being mindful of the guidelines. I know for a fact the product team is listening and taking the responses to heart. As far as the definition of abusive language goes, I'm not going to split hairs on the wording. (Or parts of speech, although all…

@Dominik_Kugelmann it's Friday the 22nd in Sydney, so post your Friday fun anytime!

(If 2 is real please explain the joys of trudging through snow to this California girl.) 

Snowshoeing feels pointless so I will vote 2. Hahaha. 

Hi @Rory Apperson critical of your product = okay critical of your product team = not okay That is the distinction. Rest assured, your anger and frustration are coming through even without attacking the team, who are hard-working human people.

I don't actually want to start suspending accounts or shut down this conversation, but I will do it. Many of you have already been warned once but to be completely clear: disparaging Atlassians, the product team or the community is not okay. Keep the conversation constructive and focused on the product, and you'll be fine. 

@Brittany Joiner I am following your lead! I am doing checklists for the individual gifts but I like the idea of "Partially done." Thanks for the inspo!

🤣Short and sweet, and with a snazzy visual! I love it. 

Yay! Absolutely!
