Jira in an Agile Team
Kieran Shaw, of BlackPepper, recently posted a great blog with recipe for setting Jira up for an Agile team. However, we recently decided on Jira as our feature/bug tracking tool of choice and thought it would be interesting to see if we could use Jira to manage our agile projects rather than have more than […]
Reminder: AtlasCamp is three weeks away
Just a quick post to remind everyone that AtlasCamp, our first-ever developer camp, is approaching and you need to book your reservation soon. We’re down to the last few spots, so don’t wait too long. Also, feel free to join the discussion on the AtlasCamp page about the topics that we’ll cover. There have been […]

Balsamiq Mockups brings paper prototyping to Confluence and Jira
Laura blogged about Balsamiq on the News Blog, but this is just too cool not to share here on Dev Blog. New Atlassian partner, Balsamiq, has released an amazing new tool called Mockups: it’s a flash-based drawing tool that is built specifically for designing software GUIs. Lots of designers preach the value of designing paper […]
New Release of EditGrid core service
Atlassian Partner EditGrid just put out an awesome new release of their core product, the EditGrid Online Spreadsheet. I’ll start with a quick re-cap: EditGrid is a brower-based spreadsheet that allows to collaborate (in real time!) with your colleagues. The experience is amazing. I’m not an expert Excel jockey, but I find the EditGrid UI […]
Finally, the results of Codegeist III
I must apologize that these results have been so long in coming. The developers did their part and got me their votes on time. But I ended up at Enterprise 2.0 and our Boston Users’ Group last week, which turned out to be pretty all absorbing, leaving no time for Codegeist. E2.0 was an entertaining […]
User Groups coming up in Boston and Paris
Atlassian is holding two more user groups in the next few weeks. Next week, on Thursday June 12th, we’ll be holding a Atlassian User Group in Boston, at the Westin Waltham hotel from 2:00pm until 7:00pm. This event is extra special because I, your friendly neighborhood Developer Relations guy, will be in attendance. Then on […]
Codegiest III is complete!
I’m a little behind mentioning this, but Codegeist III is officially over! There was a burst of activity this year, bringing in fifty-three entries from forty-three different authors. There are some very ambitious entries as well, and some that I hope we will all continue to build on in the months to come. We received […]
Codegeist III closes Friday!
UPDATE: corrected the closing time. It’s 1pm PST, not 11am PST. Just a quick note to remind everyone that Codegeist III closes this Friday, May 9th at 1pm PST. We’ve had a tremendous response so far: forty-one plugins! Go check out all the terrific entries. And if you’re a user — there’s no reason that […]
Codegeist III: even more prizes!
Codegeist III just got better: we’ve added three new software license prizes to the contest. Many of the plugins for Atlassian products are free and open source, but some of them cost actual money. And since we’re giving away licenses of Jira and Confluence, I thought we might want to offer some of these plugins […]
Codegeist III: And they're off!
The first Codegeist entries are starting to appear on the Entries page in the Codegeist space on http://confluence.atlassian.com! And even though there are still six weeks left in the contest, I think this is about the smartest thing that these developers can do. I blogged about this very thing last year, and the advice still […]
Atlassian Supported Plugins, Round 2
I blogged a few months ago about a major change in our plugin libraries. Starting in November, we began designating certain plugins as Atlassian Supported. As I said at the time: Atlassian Supported means that we’ve reviewed the plugins and made sure that they have met certain criteria. A supported plugin must: be available in […]

Announcing Codegeist III: Be The Code You Seek
Coders, start your development engines! It’s time for Codegeist III, the 2008 edition of the Atlassian plugin competition. Once again, the contest is bigger and badder than last year: we’re offering $30,000 in cash prizes, gobs of software from some of our favourite Java tool-smiths, and tickets to a few of the best developer conferences […]
Four new capabilities for the Atlassian Plugin Repository
We’ve recently added four new features to the Atlassian Plugin Repository that plugin developers should want to know about: Download Tracking For the last few months, we’ve been tracking the number of individual plugin downloads through the Plugin Repository. You can now display a table or graph of a plugin’s downloads like this: You can […]
