Form Autocomplete

What is autocomplete? Autocompletion, which was first introduced by Microsoft Internet Explorer, is the browser feature of remembering what you entered in previous text form fields with the same name. So, for example, if the field is named name and you had entered several variants of your name in other fields named name, then autocompletion provides those options in a dropdown. Most modern browsers (IE5+, Firefox) can be configured to remember the information users type into web forms. This feature

Bamboo + JIRA, when builds meet issues.

If you are anything like us with your development processes, then you would probably track all your development work - be they bugs, improvements, or features - in an issue tracker like JIRA. You would also use a CI tool too, like Bamboo, to run builds constantly to make sure that your code base remains in good health - at least most of the time. What we wanted is a nice way to bring our issues and builds together so we have one consolidated view of issues, and builds. This is where Bamboo 2.1 and

Atlassian User Group Hits Sydney HQ

While the Atlassian User Groups have been popping up all around the globe, here at Atlassian Headquarters in Sydney we have yet to host an AUG. That is until now. In a little over a month, in time for a much awaited southern hemisphere springtime, Atlassian's Sydney offices will host the inaugural Sydney Atlassian User Group meeting. The event is open to all users of Atlassian products, interested parties and partners. Being on home turf, this is sure to be well attended and we want to make it something
