Announcing Jira Ops + OpsGenie: powerful incident management
Downtime caused by outages is one of the biggest challenges faced by today’s IT/Ops teams. Here’s how we’re helping them tackle it head-on.
An open letter to computer science graduates
Congratulations! The hard work you’ve put in and perseverance you’ve shown over the past few years has paid off. Now the fun begins (and I don’t just mean a summer of post-exam partying, though that’s a lot of fun, too). Amongst the myriad transitions you’re making is one that doesn’t often get mentioned in commencement speeches: […]
A defining moment for global teamwork
Just after this post goes live, I’ll take the stage in Barcelona for our first Atlassian Summit in Europe. I’m excited to talk about our plans for the future and share news about our global cloud expansion. We have tremendous innovation emerging across our Cloud, Server and Data Center product lines. Fueling it all is […]
Celebrate volunteerism with #TeamUp4Good
This is a shout-out to the do-gooders. You know who you are. Tutors, mentors, grant writers, habitat restorers, care-package assemblers, and volunteer firefighters. You are the ones who don’t just care passively about your neighbors, your community, and your planet – you turn that passion into action. And this month, we want to celebrate you. […]
Atlassian acquires #1 status communication platform Statuspage
Statuspage, the leader in status and incident communication, is now part of the Atlassian family. Statuspage was founded in 2013 with the mission of creating trust between service providers and their customers. In the cloud, all software is now a service your customers, end-users, and partners rely on. Providing status and regularly communicating with your customers – especially during incidents – has become a critical part of the software delivery process. We believe a service without status is incomplete.
Atlassian’s IPO and the power of teams
Today is a big day for Atlassian. A few minutes ago, we became a publicly traded company. Mike and I had the honor of ringing the NASDAQ opening bell, and we can think of no better way to celebrate than to recognize the work of our customers around the world and their teams that helped make all this possible.
50,000 dreams come true
$48,500. That was the PricewaterhouseCoopers salary that I turned down in 2002 to start Atlassian with Mike Cannon-Brookes. There was no technology industry in Australia at the time, nor a start-up industry. Our university professors disowned us. Our parents looked the other way. Our original goal was to earn more than $48,500 and not to have to […]
Pledge 1%: a new model for corporate philanthropy
Back when Atlassian was a very small company, we made a pledge to divert 1% of equity, 1% of product, 1% of profit, and 1% of employee time to charitable causes–a corporate philanthropy model pioneered by Salesforce. We made that pledge publicly so our customers and staff would hold us accountable. And it worked. Twelve years later, we have helped over 250,000 children in the developing world get an education they wouldn’t otherwise have had access to through a partnership with the Room to Read foundation.
Atlassian customers: 40,000 reasons to celebrate
2014 has been a banner year for Atlassian. We introduced Jira Portfolio and Atlassian Enterprise, held our biggest and brightest Summit yet, and opened new offices in Manila and Austin, Texas. There’s another milestone that hasn’t been talked about as much as these others, but is incredibly meaningful for all Atlassians, especially Mike and myself: we now have more than […]
Introducing Jira Enterprise
Along with the launch of Jira 5, I’m proud to announce Jira Enterprise – tailored to the needs of our largest, most successful Jira customers. But before I do – let me share how the software industry has evolved. Every company is a software company It’s an exciting time to be in the software industry. […]
When caching is not caching
Back in July last year (how time flies), I investigated how we could use caching in our products to improve the user experience. This resulting in creating a framework for serving content that can be cached on the client. We now use this for Jira, Confluence and Bamboo. The idea is that some resources (css, […]
Mind blowing support from Contegix
I was going to write a long post about how fantastic Contegix is for java hosting, but I think that this email exchange pretty much says it all: On Apr 22, 2006, at 12:09 AM, matthew.porter@contegix.com wrote: Charles: After multiple attempts to restart the javablogs.com system for the past 1 hour, 18 minutes, we are […]
Finally – a direct link to download the JDK!
Firstly – if you distribute server-side Java applications, then this URL will make your life a lot easier: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jdk/download.jsp. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, read on… As most Java programmers are aware, there are two distributions of Java from Sun. The Java Runtime Environment (JRE), and the Java Development Kit (JDK). The first […]
Preview Documentation available for Jira 2.1
In a bizarre twist of fate, we have managed to release a beta version of our documentation before our beta version of Jira 2.1. Jeff, (our documentation guy and current maintainer of the Apache Forrest project, and all round top bloke), has been hard at work converting our docs to Forrest format, and adding in […]
