Hi All,

I'm Jenn from the DFW, Texas area.  I started using Jira about 7 years ago and have been slowly adding knowledge of the additional Atlassian products.  I just completed the Atlassian Administrator track and am about to look into certifications.  

I guess it's about time I become active in the community.  :-)

Jesse April 12, 2018

Hi Everybody,

My name's Jesse Ivy and I work for IEQ Technology in Springfield, Oregon, here in the United States. I'm currently working on a Java API to administer a higher education curriculum to apprentices.

I have a limited edition Josh Keyes autographed print, a box of cuban cigars, a skull, my stainless steel coffee cup, a luke skywalker (return of the jedi) action figure, a Fortune's Folly sticker, A giant teardrop carnelian my ex found in the river, Donald Duck (University of Oregon's Mascot), a photo of my oldest son, tissues, a random Windows 7 CD (I work on a mini mac so yeah, weird), and a little rack of the hemp greeting cards I make on my desk.

I'm an environmental activist with a focus on renewable energy.

Jedi Wear Hemp!


Cheers,

ji

Welcome Jesse! The Carnelian sounds beautiful, I used to have one that looked like the Grand Canyon condensed into a little rock. 

Jesse April 17, 2018

Thanks! It's a nice carnelian yes, almost the size of my fist. She found it while she was searching for her phone to call me, which she had left in the sun on the hot rocks. Was romantic because it's a teardrop and she was crying at the time.

It has come to my attention that I neglected to mention my desk also has a the fastest Mac Mini in the office on it, in addition to two monitors. And I inadvertently set up my dev environment under the Administrator account, which I sort of like. At my former place of employment I was working for a hardware manufacturer who gave me twice as many monitors but anything past three isn't very useful.

And a tiny galaxy bar from Wales.

Minimal I am not. :)

Hi, I'm Courtney! I've built multiple team spaces and knowledge bases in Confluence, both at my previous company as a Community Manager and at my current company as a Knowledge Manager. I <3 Confluence. ;) I've been a lurker in this Community for a while, but this is my first post.

On my desk I have the usual assortment of Pop Funko characters, posters advertising the Knowledge base, an Atlassian Team Tour lanyward, and a variety of greeting cards, photos, and random paper. 

Most common question I get from my users: "Hey, how did you make it do that thing on that page?" (The answer is usually a creative use of a macro, lol.)

I've also started using Trello to help keep me organized, and I am loving it as well. There's something very satisfying about moving a card from the "Doing" column / swim lane to "DONE". :D

Welcome, @Courtney Langdon! I need you to help me polish my skills in Confluence, for sure. Also, I have a soft spot for Trello (I was their dedicated community manager for a year), so let me know if I can help there at all. Be sure to check out https://trello.com/inspiration for some of the prettiest boards you ever did see. 😎

Courtney Langdon April 26, 2018

Thanks, @Erica Moss! I love dishing Confluence, so you can ping me anytime. Thanks for the Trello link; these are awesome. I use mine for tracking my blog posts, too, just like their "Blog Post Ideas". I'd go crazy without it!  (Eeee, I just copied one on Vacation Planning!) :)

Erica_Garcia April 30, 2018

Hello from San Diego! A new challenge in a new industry brought me to the gates of Atlassian and I am enjoying it all. I am so not a minimalist and might freak everyone out with how much is on my desk

Jesse April 30, 2018

Hi Erica,

Gillian Rourke May 10, 2018

Hi, I'm Gillian, based in London, UK.  I work for a consultancy firm and we use Confluence and Jira to support collaboration within the firm and also to support project teams.  While I feel very confident in Confluence, I don't have admin rights so there's only so much I can do.  Would love to learn more about Confluence and Jira.  Oh, and Trello too.  That looks ace!!

We hotdesk at work too, so I don't have much on my desk at the moment.  2 napkins, my Bose headphones, my headphone/lightning adapter and my 2 phones.  However, on my Desktop I keep the image of our firm's standard colours and their HTML codes.

I'm looking forward to becoming involved in this community and learning more along the way! :D

Hello,

I'm Gary based in Norwich, UK.

I've been a Jira & Confluence admin for over 4 years. Recently became an Atlassian Certified Jira Administrator (ACP-JA).

We've grown our Jira instance from around 200 local users to 11,000 + global users in 4 years. Jira really does sell itself!

I won't bore you with a picture of whats on my desk. it's really nothing out of the ordinary. Although the views are pretty special....

Hello everyone, I'm Lisa in Halifax, Canada and I'm pretty comfortable with Confluence. I've been using Confluence as a user for a few years and about 6 months as an administrators.

My desk is super chaotic. Not messy, but I like lots of little knick-knacks and having lots of colour (and washi tape) around. :)

I guess I should also mention that I am learning a lot about Jira as an administrator right now. (Also very familiar as a user).

Hi, I'm Patrice from Germany. I work as a system administrator at diva-e Digital Value Excellence GmbH, an IT service provider.

My desk looks rather clean I think :D What's on it? Well, of course the obvious stuff: notebook, keyboard, mouse and extended display and also my headset.

The other things are a picture of me and my wife with my little daughter :) , a kudo card congratulating me to my passed ACP Jira/Confluence Admin, and an NSD powerball. This thing is great to relax your fingers / hands / arms wwhen you type and click all day ;)
This little sheet directly below my display is a Team Playbook Card that want to use with my team in our next review.

In everyday work I'm responsible for our Atlassian apps at work (Jira, Confluence, Crucible) and also consulting my fellow employees regarding usage / best practices.

 

I am in the community because

  • I have been here before (in Confluence Questions & Answers)
  • lots of good topics are discussed here
  • I can get help/support from other admins/users
  • I want to connect to other users :)
  • I want so share and help if possible

 

I wish you all a great friday and weekend  :)

Cheers,
Patrice
