Thanks for all the upvotes

[Monique vdB]

Looks like we have hit critical mass -- @Craig Castle-Mead we will plan on moving forward with this!

[Craig Castle-Mead]

@Monique vdB Perfect! We have 2 more locations we're looking to fill, so have even more motivation than usual to help :) Let me know if there's anything I can do.

CCM

[Monique vdB]

@Craig Castle-Mead the jobs board is up!

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jobs-Careers/gp-p/JobsCareers

Please go ahead and 1. join the group, 2. re-post your job listing (I can't move it into the group, unfortunately, and 3. let me know you've joined so I can make you an admin and reach out to you with some best practices, expectations, etc!

[Craig Castle-Mead]

@Craig Castle-Mead You are an admin! I'm working on some admin guidelines and best practices and will ping you when they are posted... thanks!

[Brian Chabot · Accepted solution]

Academia / Higher Education

[Brant Schroeder]

I second that

[Monique vdB]

@Brant Schroeder and @Brian Chabot, we're going to move ahead with this; I'll keep you posted when it's set up!

[Brant Schroeder]

Excellent

[Daniel Eads _unmonitored account_]

Woo! Watching

[Brian Chabot]

Awesome. Thank you very much!

[MadelineBarr]

@Monique vdB is there an ETA on when this interest collection will be available? This is something we are very interested in.

It would be nice to know how many higher education institutions use Atlassian products and how.

[Monique vdB]

@MadelineBarr it should be available this month! I'm working on getting it set up now.

[Monique vdB]

@Brian Chabot, @Brant Schroeder, @MadelineBarr, @Daniel Eads _unmonitored account_, this collection is now live here.

We would love for you to fill it with content and discussions that we can feature in the sidebar. Maybe someone would be willing to start an intro thread to kick us off?

[Brian Chabot]

@Monique vdBThank you again for this. I'll post something today and get us started.

[MadelineBarr]

Thanks @Monique vdB. 

@Brian Chabot I look forward to 'chatting' with you and others in that interest group. I have a few things I can post, as well.

[Monique vdB]

@Brian Chabot great! Let me know once you do and I can feature it in the sidebar showcase.

[Brian Chabot]

@MadelineBarr@Monique vdBFirst post is set and live!!!

[Scott Theus]

Project Management.

There's a section for Agile, but not one for project management in general. I'd like a space to discuss PM topics outside of Agile.

[Deleted user]

@Scott Theus completely agree, 

I have run into a number of Questions within the community that would fit perfectly within PM.

[armin.mayrhofer]

I would suggest the 'Services Industry'. As detailed out in this post 'Using Atlassian products to boost the Services Industry' the services industry has very specific requirements and use cases for Atlassian products. This became clear in a round table this past Summit that consisted of 2 of the 3 biggest global agencies as well as 2 of the big 4 accounting firms. We have very similar needs and it would be great to have them represented.

[Julie Vu [Beenicon]]

Marketing for Atlassian add-ons

[Huwen Arnone]

I would leave it with just Marketing, Atlassian related, of course.  What do you think?

[Julie Vu [Beenicon]]

All good! Thank you!

[Sebastien Jacques]

Atlassian Admin

Server configuration, sizing, security, networking, data center, advanced workflows, scripting, virtualization, etc...

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

This one is probably not a suggestion for an interest, but a talking point.  Atlassian have encouraged the use of Jira for asset tracking (and, of course, there are some asset tracking add-ons out there).  Just a thought that maybe we could use an enhanced tag for some stuff when it's about asset tracking.

[carolyn french]

And updated materials/ebooks too. In the last few months, I've found dead links from documentation about asset management in Jira.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Manufacturing

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Military.

Although I'm a bit fuzzy on this one.  I'm not thinking of military organisations directly, more about their commercial partners.  Specifically, the companies building military aircraft are what I've run into a lot, but also some car manufacturers and even companies servicing "spooks"

Can I request a group for AUG United Kingdom?

[Monique vdB]

@[deleted] thanks for making the request! I've passed it on to the team and will let you know when we can make this happen!

[Kimberly Deal _Columbus ACE_]

@Monique vdB

Is there a process for requesting these groups for the AUGs?  I'd really love to get one up for our User Group and get the word out to other AUG leaders.

[Celina Zamora]

@Kimberly Deal _Columbus ACE_we are betaing these right now, but will definitely let you know what's next for these groups and how it will impact each individual AUG moving forward :) 

[Kimberly Deal _Columbus ACE_]

@Celina ZamoraTY!  would be super helpful for my group, so hope we get to be an early adopter!

[Monique vdB]

@Kimberly Deal _Columbus ACE_ having a Champion on board is a +1 for sure! Thanks for expressing your interest, we will keep you in the loop!

[Kimberly Deal _Columbus ACE_]

Awesome, my group has been asking for communications/sharing platform for a while, and I have been avoiding Facebook or Linkedin groups because of difficulty in managing them.  

[Omar Herrera]

DevOpsSec I would like.
