April Showers monthly challenge badge is now live!

[#1]

In honor of our community's one-year anniversary on April 3, this month's challenge is our anniversary challenge, aka the April Showers badge. To earn the April badge, shower the community with love! (Yes, I think our resident pun-master @Bridget did come up with that one.)

To earn this badge:

• Give at least 30 likes  
• Upvote or accept at least 10 answers to questions
• Post something nice in the "Happy anniversary, Atlassian Community" Friday fun thread!

Need help figuring out how to do any of this? That's what we're here for; just let me know in the comments below. And you can start by clicking like on this article. Now go earn your April badge!

Sometimes it snows in April... One of my favorite Prince songs. It's a sad song, but also so heartwarming. 

So, let's use the likes and upvotes in April and after to bring showers and snowfalls of love to the Community! And earn the badge, of course :-)

[Davin Studer]

So I gotta throw out this joke ...

If april showers bring may flowers what do may flowers bring? Pilgrims!

[Thomas Schlegel]

So, in June there will be a pilgrim's badge... :-)

@Thomas Schlegel you will have to sail in a boat to Atlassian HQ in Sydney. Hey, they can't all be easy!

[Thomas Schlegel]

@Monique vdB - great, then I have the chance to visit my penguins :-)

[Monique vdB]

@Thomas Schlegel oh I'll join you!

[LeKisha Boswell]

In that case we need to celebrate! 

[Sandipan Banerjee]

Yes.

[Heth Siemer]

Rewind. Why are there penguins in Sydney?!?!

[Monique vdB]

@Heth Siemer penguins don't only live in the cold! 

[Nic Brough _Adaptavist_]

Galapagos penguins live just about on the equator - that's not cold at all...

[Thomas Schlegel]

@Heth Siemer - these are my penguins:

They have the same last name as I do.

[Heth Siemer]

I have significantly less penguin knowledge than I thought I did.

[Monique vdB]

@Heth Siemer we're all here for you, Heth. 🐧

[Chinja X Maria]

Hi Chinja, welcome to the Community!

The easiest way for you to earn this badge is to look through the forums for topics that are of interest to you and press that like button. 

The next part, upvoting ten answers or accepting: Find questions posed to the community (or create some yourself). When another community member provides an answer, click the UP triangle. Similarly, if you've asked a question and got a great answer, accepting the answer will give you a point towards the requirement. 

Lastly, click through the link at the top of this article to the anniversary thread and post some well-wishes!

@Monique vdB -- I'm unable to find the April, 2019 badge challenge.  Has it been posted?  I know you guys are probably already traveling for Summit which I'm excited to see you next week 😉 But just wanted to check in to ensure I haven't just missed it or if we'll be recycling the April, 2018 challenge as it looks like a good one!

[Monique vdB]

@Carol Jones thanks for checking! We'll still be doing regular challenges but won't necessarily be monthly anymore. The current challenge is the Summit Scavenger Hunt, I am sure you'll have a blast with that one!
