Atlassian Community Round-up: February 2022

[#1]

Hello Everyone!

Yes it’s that time again. The time where I take you on a highlight tour of some of the amazing content that has been posted this month. As always, there is a ton of great content for you to consume, and I can cover everything so please once you are done here, go checkout some of the other great articles on the Community!

On that note, let’s dive in!

• First up, if you have been following my YouTube channel this month you will know that I have been promoting Confluence Customer Love Month every single week. Here I’m including the hub article which will show you everything you may have missed this month. I highly recommend using this as a launchpad into the other articles that have been posted there are a few really cool updates mixed in with all the great content! https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Join-Confluence-Customer-Love-Month/ba-p/1930387

• Next, a small community update, The Jira Automation collection has been renamed to Atlassian Automation. If you have been following posts in this collection you may have already seen this update. This was done to support the fact that there are plans for Automation to expand beyond Jira in the near future! https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-articles/Community-update-Jira-Automation-has-been-renamed-to-Atlassian/ba-p/1930959

• Also, in case you missed it starting today (March 1st) Bitbucket Cloud users will not longer be able to use account password when using Basic authentication for Git over HTTPS or the Bitbucket Cloud REST API. If this is something that might impact you, go read through that post! https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-articles/Announcement-Bitbucket-Cloud-account-password-usage-for-Git-over/ba-p/1948231

• Are you a public speaker, or someone looking to get into public speaking? Have you joined the Speaker Bench group? This group is now posting on a monthly basis the local Atlassian Community Events chapters and what topics they are looking for someone to speak about. If you think you have something to share, check out the post and get connected with the local leaders! https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-Speaker-Bench-articles/Calling-aspiring-speakers-Monthly-ACE-Hot-Topics-February-2022/ba-p/1941117

• I love watching the master of all things Trello, @Brittany Joiner, work her magic on all sorts of questions and problems. Her most recent adventure? Syncing cards and checklist items with Trello Automation. You should check this out. It also includes a video version if you would rather watch her in action! https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-articles/Sync-cards-and-checklist-items-with-Trello-Automation/ba-p/1935143

• Lastly, a bit of a shameless self promo here. As you all know, I have been highlighting the #JiraHeroes posts. This month, features my company and how we have standardized our Product and R&D teams on a common process using two Jira projects and Advanced Roadmaps to provide consistency and transparency to our release process. https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/JiraHeroes-February-22-Spotlight-Jimmy-Seddon/ba-p/1942346
