Happy Wednesday Everyone! Today it's the Summer Solstice up here in the Northern Hemisphere, and the weather has been beautiful outside. This week is dedicated to my fellow remote working friends. Back when I was working in an office full time, I would regularly look out the window on nice summer days longing to be out…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! My wife and I have been recovering from our house being in a bit of chaos the past couple of weeks while we have been doing some renovations. Our neighbors are worried that we are preparing to sell our house, but really we are just making some changes so we will enjoy our house more. As a result,…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I have just completed my 40th revolution around the sun. I thought today might be a great opportunity for me to share some of my lessons learned, thoughts and experiences while having been on this journey. And, also to give the rest of you the opportunity to share your own words of wisdom. For…

Happy Monday Everyone, Today is Poet’s Day, and inspired by the way Andy Gladstone usually reminds people that they turn for Miscellaneous Monday is fast approaching as well as the creativity from last month's Jira Riddles competition, I thought we should all start the day by flexing our creativity with a short poem. The…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Around Christmas time (and I believe possibly in the spring), we built a story one line at a time with the next person adding an additional line building on the previous story that has been created so far. People seemed to enjoy that so I thought we’d do it again. The ironic part of this is that…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-nzz9sGIEQ Hello Everyone, I had a few people ask me about putting this together so I thought I’d try this one for starters and if people find this helpful/beneficial, then I may put together guide for some of the other certifications as well. Who is this guide for? As the Atlassian…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! This one goes out to all my fellow parents, especially those working full time who have likely be searching for the perfect summer camps & activities for their kids to participate in for the next two months. This is the first year that my wife and I have needed to consider this as last year my…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Jira July is happening right now. This past weekend we celebrated all Jira Admins and the festivities in the Online Community are still going on to the end of this week. Don't know what I'm talking about? Then, you should head over to the Jira July post to learn all about how you can win prizes…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I want to thank @Fun Man Andy & @Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_ for the inspiration of today's post! One of the greatest things about the online community is it's global reach and the ability to interact and build relationships with people from all around the world. Everyday, there are people here to…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Last Saturday, I celebrated Canada with my family, and I know that my American neighbors to the south were celebrating Independence day yesterday. I realized just how truly global our online community is and I thought it might be fun this week to get as many people as possible to share where they…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! It's getting to that time of year where after work, my wife and I like to spend time out in our yard while the kids play. It's also getting warm enough that cold treats really help you enjoy the time outside. Growing up I always had a favorite ice cream flavor and recently I found some on sale at…

If you haven’t checkout out today’s Welcome Wednesday by @summer.hogan, you should go do that now. I’m a huge fan or the Work Check Podcast and I listened to all of Season 2 when it was released last year. However, I thought it would be fun to go and listen to a number of the episodes again and see if I still feel the same…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! For those that know me, you probably saw this question coming from a mile away. Team '23 wrapped up last week and it was absolutely amazing. In addition, the on demand versions of a number of sessions were made available yesterday. Now that everyone should be up to speed. There were some…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! A few community leaders were have a conversation not too long ago about nicknames. If you had one, where you got it and is it something people still know you by? My question for you this week: Do you have, or have you ever had a nickname? Can you tell us about it? For myself, I’ve had a couple.…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! As we begin to come down from all the excitement of Team '23, I received a reminder that I need to renew a few of my Atlassian certifications. This reminded me that it's been a while since I have checked out the catalog of new courses in the Atlassian University. I've discovered there are a number…

Happy Thursday Everyone! The latest episode of the Work Check Podcast dropped on Tuesday. If you haven't listened to it, go check it out! First, I love these debates and I really hope this series continues to cover more topics into the future. Let's start talking about this episode in particular. Christine started without…

Hello Everyone! I’m sorry there is no video version this month, I have been battling a nasty eye infection (which I have overcome) and as such there simply wasn’t enough time for me to put together a recording for this month. So much has happened in the month of November, and I’m going to try something a little different…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I think by now you must have realized that I’m a big fan of the Work Check Podcast! The latest episode was just released yesterday and it was another fantastic debate. What made this one even more special (for me) was that this one was recorded live at Team '23 in Las Vegas in front of all the…

Hello Everyone, I have a weird one that I haven't been able to figure out. We are using JSM Premium and I have setup the Chat feature. I am able to connect out project to various slack channels using the Assist bot. However, none of the other project admins are able to connect the assist bot to other slack channels as…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! With all the excitement of Team '23 and everyone talking all about it, I thought I'd break for a week and give you something else to think/talk about. I grew up watching Power Rangers and I'm still a big fan to this day (yes they still have new seasons and episodes coming out). My son has also…

Happy Wednesday Everyone! We are just a week away from Atlassian's Biggest event of the year! I'll keep it straight to the point this week. We all know that something big will likely get announced at Team '23. Last year, we saw the GA announcement of Atlas which was launched as a free service with all the features the beta…
