As suggested on the Friday Funday thread (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Off-topic-discussions/EARLY-Friday-Fun-for-June-14-Best-advice-you-ever-got-edition/td-p/1105333#U1106280) - and happy birthday @Karen O'Keefe !! - @Monique vdB thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where users can post their LinkedIn…

Hey everyone, I thought it might be useful to have an intro thread, but instead of just focussing on who you are and what you're doing now, give a bit of background on how your career path progressed. Others can then use this information to get an idea of where their existing skills and experience may lead them to, or, if…

At the Atlassian Summit 2019 in Las Vegas, I was asked to present during the the technical track for TAM (Technical Account Manager) day. The topic - the solution we've put together to centralize numerous logs, and extract significant business value from those logs. There seemed to be reasonable interest from a number of…

When marketplace developers need to store data related to their apps, they can do this via Active Objects tables (database tables that are prefixed with AO_ then a 6 character hex code which seems to be unique for that app, then another underscore and the table name itself (set by the developer). When reviewing your…

Do you: * Use Crowd? * Have multiple Atlassian applications connected to Crowd? * Have different sets of users with access to each application? If you're a YES on all three, then a feature released in Crowd 4.4.0 "Sync users based on their access rights" may be a big help. The team I'm a part of runs quite a large…

In putting together some notes post Summit about working remotely for our geo-distributed team, I recalled a story my Dad told me about one of his friends. He was an architect with a home office in his garage, each day he would get ready for work then drive to "work" (around the block, and back to his own house. He would…

The install the team I'm part of look after is for a global organization with around 15,000 users spread…

Hey all, After using the Atlassian products and Marketplace Ecosystem apps for quite a number of years within a large and complicated enterprise - I've noticed that there's a few UI/UX issues that cause considerable pain that may not be quite so obvious/impactful with smaller organizations or data sets, so thought it would…

Background Earlier this month, we upgraded our production Jira DC environment from Jira 7.13.11 to Jira 8.5.1. The instance is on the larger end of the scale (14,000 projects, 1.4M issues, ~ 10,000 users in 104 countries) so there were numerous benefits we were looking forward to - such as the Lucene upgrade, CDN, general…

Hey all! So for those at Summit 2019, we've just watched ShipIt 2019 (and the Crowd team won - congrats all!!) and shortly, Bash! will begin. This was my 7th Summit I've been fortunate enough to come to, and each time, music is a big part of the even - be it Mike and Scott dressed up as Daft Punk…

With such a diverse community of people working within the Atlassian ecosystem (and by that I mean employees, employers, marketplace vendors, partners - everyone), this leads to a huge variety of education/careers/skills (soft and hard skills)/training and certification that people have. For people new to the space, or,…

Hi all, Next week is the big week - time for Atlassian Summit! The results of the poll on the events app have 50% of responders stating they’re most excited about “Networking aith Atlassian and other attendees” (32% for keynotes and sessions, 16% exploring the expo floor, 1% other - and by my maths there’s another 1% that…

Hey all, So yesterday I logged in to id.atlassian.com directly (as I have multiple accounts for work/private etc in the Atlassian ecosystem, sometimes I'll need to go there direct and force logout/login to make it change to the right account), and afterwards I was redirected to https://start.atlassian.com. I don't believe…

Hey all, The team I work on (99% Atlassian product focussed) is hiring in London and I'd love to be able to put the job post on the community, but, while I've searched the FAQ and Rules and can't see anything specifying job posts are not allowed, didn't want to accidentally overstep the mark (not uncommon for job posts to…
