Community Round-up: February 2021

[#1]

Happy Friday Everyone!

 

I can’t believe another month has passed already, but I’m extremely excited to share with you some of the amazing things that have been going on around the Community.   

As I mentioned last month, this is just a small sample of the amazing content that is out there.  I would encourage each and every one of you to go check out everything else for yourself! 

• First, I know that I was super excited about this announcement and I hope you are too.  Atlassian Team 2021 signups have been announced! If you act now, you can Unlock your free access to Atlassian Team 2021. 
• If you Love badges as much as I do the Butler badge now live! You should head on over and get one for yourself. 
• If you haven’t seen already, Podcast alert: How I Built This with Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar is an interesting look at how Mike & Scott started Atlassian. 
• Check out the ✨NEW✨ Group for Jira Cloud Admins – If you are a Jira Cloud Administrator, you should check out this new group which will have helpful information and other Admins just like you to interact with and share thoughts and ideas. 
• Speaking of Jira Cloud, if you want a behind the scenes look into what Atlassian is doing in the Cloud platform, Performance in Jira front-end, Part 1: the story of a single line of code is the first in a three part series that gives you some insight into what Atlassian is doing with their cloud front end. 
• Continuing with the Jira Cloud theme, Jira Cloud Surprises for Server Admins - thejiraguy.com X-Post has some really great insights from @Rodney Nissen - ReleaseTEAM  for Server Admins that are looking to be moving to Cloud in the near future. 
• If you haven’t looked into Opsgenie, @Prince Nyeche as written a fantastic Opsgenie in a nutshell guide for beginners. 
• @Mary Ramirez has a shared some really good information around Employee Resource Groups - what, where and why? 
• Getting started with Atlassian Access can be challenging (I speak from experience), @Ivan Lima  has put together a great walkthrough Setting up SAML SSO with JumpCloud which can help make things easier for anyone just getting started. 
• Is your Confluence instance a mess?  Have you just been given access to help clean it up (I know I have)?  "Now what?" A DIY guide for new wiki space admins by @Michelle Rau HP, really spoke to me personally and I thought it was worth sharing for others in a similar situation. 
• Finally, @Jack Brickey has posted a very nice Open Welcome to Everyone New feel free to jump into that thread and introduce yourself! 

There are also a number of trending discussions you might want to take part in: 

• Mind-blowing Confluence trick 
• Team Playbook is in our HR webinar this week 
• Curious about your experience between Next-gen and Classic Service Desk 
• Friday Fun: what was your favorite phone? 
• Introducing: A Whole New Trello 

Have a great weekend everyone!
