If you're a Bamboo OnDemand subscriber, you could be forgiven for feeling a stab of jealousy every time a batch of new kick-ass features comes out for the on-premises Bamboo offering.  "When, oh when, will it be my turn?", you pined.  Well, if you logged into your Bamboo OnDemand instance this morning, you already know that the wait is over.   Bamboo OnDemand is now roughly on par with Bamboo 4.1.  "Roughly", because there are still a few differences such as not being able to install plugins

Get to Know Bamboo’s HungBuildKiller Plugin

What it lacks in snazzy naming, it makes up for in sheer brute-force functionality.  It detects.  It dispatches.  It notifies.  It is... the HungBuildKiller plugin, created by Atlassian build engineer Adrián Deccico (with help on the UI from Bamboo's own Brydie McCoy)!

On a daily basis we only care about a select few of those Plans.   Using Labels To
