Jimmy Seddon Community Champion

Why is this a new thread? Because I and my fellow table top nerd friends have a burning desire to talk about everything D&D! This conversation started in the Friday Fun post here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Off-topic-discussions/Friday-Fun-which-is-your-favourite-book-or-the-best-book-you/td-p/1288313 So to get…

Happy Monday Everyone! Over the weekend I was called upon by a good friend to help teach/coach a bunch of new curlers the basics of the game. For anyone not familiar with curling it's that weird sport on ice where one guy throws a rock down the ice while the other people sweep the ice in front of it. While I was explaining…

Happy Friday Everyone! Today marks the international release of Disney's live action version of the animated classic Aladdin. I know that this movie was met with some controversy of over casting choices for various roles, but as the various trailers have been released I personally am going to reserve judgement until I see…

Hello Everyone, Back due to popular demand, your Friday Fun this week will once again be delivered by @Jimmy Seddon! I work in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Right now everyone is getting ready for Oktoberfest and if I'm right, I believe Kitchener has the largest Oktoberfest celebration outside of Germany. My question to…

Hi Everyone! Last Friday, myself and a couple others on my team had a last night as we successfully completed a Jira Server to Cloud Migration. This took months of planning, testing, and communicating to ensure that we had as little impact to our end users as possible. We were extremely happy and tired by the end of the…

Data Residency became a hot button topic for our company in 2019. While, I can see on the Jira Align website that it says the cloud version is hosted in AWS and is geographically distributed, does that mean that Jira Align is hosted in all the same data centers that the other Atlassian Cloud applications are hosted? Given…

What’s all the hype about? Back in version 6.0 of Bamboo, Atlassian released Bamboo Specs (Configuration as Code). From the beginning I was completely sold on the feature. Being a solo Build Master, this would give me the power to write Java-based code and keep it in source control to manage the configuration of all our…

Hi @Ricki Clifford, Welcome to the Community! One of the best ways to get to know the other members of the community is to participate in the Friday Fun posts. Everyone is very friendly here so don't hesitate to ask questions! -Jimmy

Previously... Last time we left at the crossroads of trying to decide between Jira Cloud vs Jira Data Center. As we had already done significant investigation, (a proof of concept and user testing for Jira Data Center) we needed to shift gears and perform an initial investigation into the effort involved in moving to Jira…

The Recap... Hello Everyone! It's the moment you have all been waiting for, our grand finale to my series of posts on our journey to high availability with Jira! For anyone that is just joining this series now, I'd recommend looking at Part 1 and Part 2 before you continue. We left off last time with having made the…

Hello Everyone, I'm in the middle of testing a Jira Server to Cloud migration and I've stumbled across something I don't know how to solve so I thought I'd ask you fine folks. I have taken an xml export of our Jira Server data and imported it to the Cloud instance. I have also setup a trial of Atlassian Access (as we…

By day I'm the Admin of multiple Atlassian tools, by night (more like late afternoon) I both play and volunteer on the board of directors for a local Slo-Pitch Baseball league. This past year we have noticed an increased turn over and lack of engagement in the volunteers we have helping complete the tasks we need to keep…

Hello Everyone! Currently, we have a self-hosted Jira Server instance that we are using as a user directory for our hosted BitBucket Server and Bamboo Server. We are now in the process of looking to migrate from Jira Server to Jira Cloud. My question is, if I switch our BitBucket and Bamboo authentication method to talk…

Hello Everyone, I saw OPSGenie at the Summit this year and it looked really cool! I made a note to look into it when I returned home. Since then one thing that has become an important issue for our company is data residency. My question is what information actually gets stored in OPSGenie that might cause data residency…

I was looking at the list of integrations for OpsGenie and I saw a deployment category. I was a little surprised to see that there is an integration for Jenkins but nothing was listed for Bamboo? Are there plans to support Bamboo in the future?

Hi Folks! I just had one of my developers ask if it was possible to have branch specific commit hooks. What they want to accomplish is that they are committing database change scripts and they want to have an automated method for assigning them a numbered execution order based on when the pull request is accepted into the…

Where We Started My company has been using Jira for a little over five years now. When we first made the switch to Jira it was for our development team of about 20 people to be able to use a better tool for issue tracking. We decided to host our own server as there was hesitation about using Cloud technology at the time.…

Greetings Everyone, I probably should have made this post a long time ago when I first joined the community. That was my first jump into an online community and I was a little overwhelmed and unsure where to go/start. Since then, I have been using multiple Atlassian products (Jira, BitBucket Serve, Bamboo) for a number of…

Hello Everyone, Currently, we have a Bamboo Deployment project with a few environments that run powershell based deployment scripts. This started as something that was run manually that we are trying to move into Bamboo. When we runs these scripts manually there have been times where a couple of the servers in the…
