Welcome Wednesday: Give Some Kudos!

[#1]

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Are you aware of Kudos? That’s Atlassian’s gamification system here in the online community. You can access it from the menu in the top right corner next to your profile icon. From here there are challenges you can complete to earn kudos for yourself.

You can also give people kudos for a variety for reasons like writing great content. You are able to hand out 10 kudos which resets each week.

This week, I’m not asking a question, but just suggesting that you should think about handing out those free kudos you have. Did someone help you by providing a great answer? Give some kudos! Did you read an article that you found inspiring? Give some kudos!

I promising this is NOT me trying to fish for kudos, in fact there are many of you who comment on these posts each and every week who are very deserving of some kudos!

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Well, even if you didn't ask for it, here's a kudos to you for writing great Welcome Wednesday content every week @Jimmy Seddon 😄🎉

[Susan Waldrip]

Hi @Jimmy Seddon , this is a GREAT topic and worth repeating periodically! My goal over the next week will be to give away all 10 Kudos, YAY!!

[Barbara Szczesniak]

I have been trying to use this feature as I go through the daily digest, though I sometimes feel like I'm selecting the same helpful, knowledgeable people over and over again. That's what they get for being so helpful. 😁

[Amanda Barber]

Always a good reminder! Thanks, @Jimmy Seddon!

[Sai Krishna Gottapu]

Happy Wednesday! Thanks for the reminder about Kudos. It’s a great way to show appreciation in our community. I’ll definitely be handing out some Kudos today!

[Andy Gladstone]

@Sai Krishna Gottapu welcome to the online community!

@Jimmy Seddon great reminder to give out some free acts of kudosness!

Everyone that has commented here so far has received some Kudos from me - I have some more to give for anyone else that participates!

I love this, @Jimmy Seddon! I will add that there are multiple ways to give Kudos points:

1. In the top-right section of the Kudos dashboard (which can be accessed by clicking the word 'Kudos' in the top nav)

2. From the community member's profile in the Kudos section (see Jimmy's for an example)

3. If you hover over the community members name when they've commented, like:

[Kent_DevSamurai]

Well, I guess I'm late for the party. But kudos to you! Thanks for the reminding us @Jimmy Seddon 

[Stephen_Lugton]

@Jimmy Seddon thanks for another great article, as @Tomislav Tobijas _Koios_ says:

And that's my kudos used up for the week ...

[Nardene Reeves]

Great suggestion - I confess to being entirely too stingy handing out Kudos - I can only promise to try and do better!

[Josef Schaaf]

Thanks a lot!

KUDOS to everyone! 👀

[Varsha Kanwar]

Love the kudos feature. We had a ritual of #FriYaY #Hi5 shoutouts in one of the teams I was part of. It was a great way to wrap the week recognising people and teams for their great work and impact.

Hi everyone. Cool community and this is very awesome!

[Rachel Richards]

Happy Wednesday!  

I have been a Atlassian User/Admin for a few years but am finally making time to dig in a bit more.  Great content!!
