From Jira to Bitbucket, he'll unwind,
A tapestry of wisdom, so rare to find.

Unleashing potential, setting hearts on fire,

His Monday musings, a moment to acquire.

A Jira Work Management expert, they say,
With mastery and precision, he orchestrates the flow,
Navigating complexities with a knowing glow.

For John's mind is a treasure trove, wise,
A fountain of knowledge, a repository vast,
Where tidbits of information are amassed.

From ancient tales to modern-day facts,
John's intellect shines, leaving none intact,
He regales us with trivia, a captivating stream,
Enlightening our minds like a vibrant dream.

So let us hail John Funk, this remarkable soul,
Whose expertise and wisdom make him whole,
A Jira maestro, a fountainhead of lore,
In his presence, we're enriched forevermore.

@Andrew _Zim_ Zimmerman _Appfire_ here is your poem to prompt you for your slot this week on Miscellaneous Monday!

In Wisconsin's land of pride and cheer,
There's Andrew Zimmerman, a soul so sincere.
With starlit brilliance, he sets his stage,
To entertain us with facts, a knowledge sage.

From his heart's haven in the Badger State,
Andrew weaves tales that captivate,
He'll regale us with tidbits, so random and rare,
As he unveils the world's wonders with flair.

Like a master storyteller, he takes the lead,
Revealing facts that make our minds feed,
From ancient history to stars in the sky,
Andrew's wisdom soars, reaching us high.

[Andrew _Zim_ Zimmerman _Appfire_]

[Andy Gladstone]

ALL HAIL KING ROBERT, FIRST OF HIS NAME...

I'll be offline for a few days, here is your early reminder that you're next up for Miscellaneous Monday @Robert Wen_Cprime_. An ode to the king...

There once was a man named Robert Wen,
A DevOps expert beyond other men.
In the realm of automation, he'd shine,
Deploying systems, oh so fine,
But his true prowess lay in the pub quiz den.

With knowledge vast and questions galore,
Robert would conquer, leaving none in awe.
From history to science, he knew it all,
His teammates amazed, they'd often bawl,
As he led them to victory, to the crowd's uproar.

In the realm of DevOps, he'd strategize,
Streamlining processes, making them wise.
But when the quiz night arrived, he'd switch gears,
Becoming a pub quiz king, banishing fears,
Robert Wen, the man of intellect, no compromise.

[Danny]

In the fields of verse, a tale by Hana fair,
She last shared her thoughts about blooms beyond compare,
A post of petals, love's sweet fragrant air,
Now, a new fact she readies to declare.

With petals held in hand,
She whispered secrets through the land,
A gift of flowers, sentiment entwined,
In that moment, the community aligned.

And now, a new Monday dawns, a different theme,
Hana's words will uplift us like a dream!
Another post, one yet unforeseen,
Her words form a river, flowing like a stream.

[Hana Kučerová]

She is Summer Hogan, a spirit free,
A leader in the Community of Atlassian,
She grew amidst the skies, a nomad's glee,
On USAF bases, her youth began.

A brat of the Air Force, her roots took flight,
From base to base, new friends and tales amassed,
In her journey, she found guiding light,
A passion for community that would last.

On Miscellaneous Monday's gentle breeze,
She'll share her wisdom, silent knowledge previously untold,
With erudition and emotion, her words will please,
Summer's light shines in our digital threshold.

So hear ye, hear ye, to Summer's grace,
Which is sure to brighten our virtual space!
