I have been going to the Atlassian Summit for a few years now but this year was a new experience - attending as a presenter. While I think that experience is likely worthy of it's own article, I wanted to share some of the information and help tips that I gathered together for any of those Jira admins that hope to…

I've been running our CAUG for about 2 years now. I generally get around 100 people per month but I have to do all of it (picking the topics, presenting, bring App Vendors in). I'm kind of curious about the frequency and who all you get to do the presentations?

I love talking to the Atlassian folks but just as good are the unplanned meetings. I got to talk to other customers from Montreal at lunch about their instances and learned how much we have in common. Summit makes this possible!

While I run a company AUG, we have started to consider if a regional community would be good to start. I am looking for interest and involvement.

Why does a failed build mean that the PR must be rejected and started over for allowing the merge to keep moving forward. If there was a failed build and then a fix and three successful builds (and a minimum of 2 successful builds required), why should a whole new PR be required? This is on the PR settings screen -"If…

While I don't think it is a smart idea, I'm being asked as a JIRA Admin if there are any problems with 50+ components or 4000+ people on a single project? Are there any guidelines out there or recommendations (and the reasoning) to provide back on not doing that? 

We have multiple JIRA instances where we would like to easily link JIRA issues in one instance to another instance via application link. Does this work? Are there consequences for trying to do this or tips to make it work more easily? The same is true for Confluence and linking pages from completely separate instances of…

I need to update the sprint value on the Epic in JIRA 7.0.4 but it looks like once it is set, it won't let me remove or change the sprint. Other issues are hard to update too but at least those have drag and drop between sprints.

After taking an export from one server and importing into a new empty instance, the Gerrit Reviews tab is not showing up on the issues. I have installed the plugin and made sure the com folder under jira-home/data was put back in and restarted JIRA after all that. I confirmed that I have the Gerrit configuration still…

I want these users to have a JIRA license to view all the data on the JSD project, meaning view the agile boards, filters, dashboards for the project but not transition the issues, own the issues, etc. Is this possible without taking up more agent licenses?

I am following the steps to restore from a backup file taken from another instance. Both versions are at 6.3.15. It gets past the initial screen to: Restore JIRA data from Backup 90% complete.Importing data: Stored 265034 of 265034 database values... And then it hangs. I have given it several hours a couple different times…

Where are the space logos (and other images - not attachments) stored ? I thought it would be a confluence-home/resources directory but i don't see that in confluence 5.7.
