Hello Answerers!

We have a fun challenge for you, an initiative we are calling The Cloudies! We want to encourage users to answer questions about our cloud products, and if you can answer 30 cloud questions before the end of the year, you could win a Cloudie!

What is a Cloudie?

It’s this, your new gender-neutral cloud friend, who is being turned into a three-dimensional stuffed companion as we speak. With a cute little tag and everything!

                              Cloudie_highres.png

Okay I will die if I do not get one of those.

I know, right?

Tell me what to do again…

Answer 30 Cloud questions, starting now. We anticipate we have enough Cloudies for everyone who does this in the next 6 weeks! That’s 5 questions per week, 1 question per work day. You can do it!

The contest will be open through the end of the year or while supplies last.

How will you know if they are cloud questions?

All our cloud questions are tagged with the word cloud. You can get a feed of those questions here. But we also love server and data center questions, and you can always answer those too! The Cloudies are for everyone! It’s just that our cloud offerings are great, and clouds are cute.

I am a thoughtful answerer, but what if people just spam a bunch of random answers really fast and take my Cloudie from me!?

Do not fear! We will exclude people providing low-quality or spam answers from the contest. Report any shenanigans via the “Report to moderators” button. And to avoid getting flagged, brush up on all the great resources for answerers right here in the Atlassian Answerers group.

Will you let us know how we’re doing?

Sure! We will check in a couple weeks from now and see who’s on track.

Can Cloudies be shipped worldwide?

Yes! The Cloudies have passports to almost every country. Our Cloud Answerers from Russia will be awarded a special prize of equivalent value*

*Equivalent cuteness not guaranteed

Other questions?

Ask away in the comments. Good luck, your Cloudie awaits!

This is a great idea! I can't wait for my cloudie.\

By the way, it would be great if we "Answerers" could have some kind of badge identifying us on the community as "Answerers". And for those who earn a "Cloudie" maybe a specific badge like "Atlassian Cloud Expert" or something?

Ok actually @Monique vdB I do have a question.  Are we talking 30 answers or does it have to be 30 accepted answers?  I saw the note about high quality answers but you can post a high quality answer that doesn't get accepted.

You have through the end of the year or while supplies last!

And the Mrs will of thought I was just shopping on ebay or some other waste of time ... or on the sewing scrubs for the NHS (national health servce) ... the UK's covid PPE shortage sew at home network where I found myself pretty much coordinating the national effort pulling it together as could see the offers of help falling through the net. 

Had I had Trello, would of been even better ... you try coordinating via FB group threads lol.

Considering I haven't been participating in this Cloudies community, and can't find any emails about it sent to me in months, I feel the email inadequately explained its purpose. I didn't even know what a Cloudie was or why somebody wanted to send me one. I had to do internet and Atlassian community searches to try to figure out if the email was legitimate. It looked like a phish to me:

- It was unsolicited.

- It contained grammatical errors.

- It asked for personal information.

@Trudy Claspill I checked in with @Kyren Wong and indeed, you are in progress report #6, which hasn't been posted yet! In the future we'll make sure the progress report goes up before the email goes out, so users have some context for the email. And we'll put more info in the email itself too.  

And thank you for answering questions on the community, it's so appreciated and I hope you do enjoy your Cloudie :)

@Kyren Wong - I saw my name in the latest announcement - The Cloudies Progress Report #7, however I didn't receive your email on requesting for my address confirmation yet.  Can you advise?

Best, Joseph Chung Yin

Had the email for the send address, as we were in progress report #1, although nothing has turned up yet.  Have they started shipping yet ? (were in UK ... Europe or European Union till end of month lol).
