We held our first Atlassian User Group yesterday, and it was a tremendous success. We had nearly 50 people
turn out at one point and we spoke with nearly everyone who made the trek out to Falls Church, VA. Thanks
to everyone who joined us!
Ernie Svehla of Intelliobjects started off the evening with a great introduction of Intelliobjects,
Atlassian, and Pyxis who demoed their GreenPepper product. Christian, from Pyxis, provided a live
demo of GreenPepper, showing the slick integration of JIRA and Confluence within their solution.
Next up was Jonathan Nolen, presenting Plugins and the Developer's Network. Jonathan's talk was greeted really
well with attendees asking many, in-depth questions. One of Jonathan's goals was to get users excited about
developing plugins and make them aware of the resources available to developers including forums, the
plugin library, and the developer network.
Finally, Scott Farquhar talked about the product roadmap. As Ernie pointed out, it was really great of Scott
to fly out to DC and attend the event - we could tell the attendees were excited to meet and chat with Scott.
Scott's time up on the podium was the longest (a bit over an hour!), which was dictated by the attendee
questions. I thought the biggest reaction was when Scott rolled out the JIRA 3.7 Roles and JIRA 4.0 slides.
In talking with the team, it seemed the event was a great success. We do have some ideas and thoughts to
make the next event even more valuable. In the mean time, keep an eye on our AUG space for updates and
follow-ups to yesterday's event.
