  • On May 17, 2013
For one night only North Sydney Oval, turned from cricket ground to Atlassian Fairground folly and Twilight Cinema. Our closest friends and family held the V.I.P passes, opening the gates to a free carnival of inflatable rides and giant lawn games. The adults ruled the Charlie cornhole, while the kids owned the dinosaur slide and kicked-ass at Giant Jenga.

Hello Answers, goodbye Forums

It's been nearly 18 months since we launched Atlassian Answers – our community-curated Q&A site that aims to get users helping users with product questions.

Atlassian Bugs Infest SXSW 2012

Last week, twelve Atlassians flew to Austin, TX for SXSW and dressed up as bugs to promote our Bug Rehabilitation Program (BURP) and meet customers. This blog is a re-cap of our fun campaign. Since JIRA - Atlassian's bug tracker - exploded onto the scene, software bugs everywhere have been put out of work. The release of JIRA 5 caused such a dramatic spike in the bug unemployment rate that Atlassian decided to offer a rehabilitation program for the little guys. Hunting and killing bugs seemed
