My people are spending time on f**cking what?!

I must admit that while Charles was very excited to hear the announcement of the 20% time trial at Atlassian, I received it with mixed feelings. The first thought that popped into my head was that we are giving people one day a week to slack off. Hence, the features that we think will benefit customers the most will be delayed. How can we encourage developers to spend time away from the chosen roadmap? Aren't people just going to spend their time learning the latest scripting language of the day

Bamboo Saves JIRA a Headache

Last Friday a code check-in was made that made JIRA functional tests fail only in Standard and Professional editions. If it was not for Bamboo, we would not have picked that up until midnight on Friday (for a while we have had a nightly build that does a lot of automated testing). Which means that it would not have been fixed until Monday, and as the author of the change is off on holidays for the next 3 weeks, some one else would have had to get clued in on why the build failed, before they fixed

JIRA 3.7 Released

I am happy to say that it's finally out there. I would like to thank everyone who has downloaded and tested 3.7 Beta 2, and extend special thanks to Neal Applebaum and Alexander Weiss for all their help. As mentioned in the announcement of the beta release, a lot of effort in JIRA 3.7 has been dedicated to developing Project Roles, which we hope will greatly simplify the task of JIRA administration. Project Roles should greatly reduce the number of user groups, permission and notification schemes
