Requirements

  • Leaders must provide rosters. Email addresses of all user group attendees per event must be submitted to aug@atlassian.com in order to get reimbursed and receive the above benefits. 
  • Must have an Atlassian approved website. Current event information must be actively updated and linked to its Confluence page. All user group pages are listed in this space. If you do not see your AUG please email aug@atlassian.com.
  • The leader must be a customer or user. Partners are not allowed to organize AUGs. If you are an Atlassian Partner, learn how you can provide sponsorship.
  • No sales pitches. The main goal of AUGs is for users to get together and learn from one another - talking about products and usage is encouraged, but smarmy sales pitches are not permitted.
  • Not for profit. Admission is free to all events. Organizers cannot make a profit.
  • Groups must be ongoing. The most successful groups meet regularly to build membership and community.

Guidelines

We hope our community members will keep these points in mind so the po-po's don't get called. 

  • Hand off your AUG appropriately. If you're moving, changing companies or need to pass the group's organization over to a non-partner, Atlassian will help. 
  • Do not close your event to anyone, unless your venue has a maximum capacity. 
  • Participate constructively and listen to group members' feedback.

 

 Email aug@atlassian.com if you have any questions before applying to be a user group leader.
