Get Ready, Set and GO: $10 licenses have arrived
October 7, 2009 10:16 AM
That's right!
Today we're happy to announce the Atlassian Starter Pack for six of our tools. Now, you can buy starter licenses for JIRA, Confluence, GreenHopper, FishEye, Bamboo and Crowd for $10 each. The $10 licenses are new to our pricing structure. In other words, there is no expiry date in sight to purchase these licenses.
You may recall that last April we gave away $5/5 user licenses of JIRA and Confluence for small teams with all proceeds going to Room to Read. The program was a roaring success. We raised over $110,000 for Room to Read, concentrating our donation in Cambodia to build 16 libraries, provide a year of education to 68 girls and publish one Khmer Language Storybook.
In this video, Room to Read Founder, John Wood, talks about the impact this campaign had:
So here's a big thanks to you. Without your help we never would have been able to make this program such a success.
We want to help small businesses and development shops have access to some of the best tools in the industry to collaborate, manage tasks and simply write great code. All licenses will be fully supported and renewable for $10, with all proceeds going to Room to Read. No strings attached.

You guys already were so many levels of awesome, and now you've reached even beyond. Kudos for this move. Cheers to you, from all the small teams you are enabling with kick-ass software, and for the charitable outcome!

Seriously, great campaign and great cause.

What I'd like to see is the $10 program extended up into all licenses so when you buy the 500 user version you're still supporting Room to Read in the same small way. Presently, if you upgrade past ten seats you drop Room to Read.

Jim - 1% of all Atlassian revenue goes to the Atlassian Foundation, which is then funnelled to a variety of charities along with employee time contributions - so you're actually supporting Room to Read and a whole lot of other charities in buying your 500-user license - and for a lot more than $10.
So far we've donated over $1.3 million through this program in our 7 year history.

You guys are a model company for other independent software vendors. Love it. Keep it up.
