12 Atlassian Summit in San Francisco
from 2009 onwards, the company Atlassian, a manufacturer known issue-tracker JIRA and Confluence enterprise wiki, holds an annual event called Atlassian Summit.
This event aims to convey to users and partners the latest news about the development of the company and its products, just to listen to useful presentations and, of course, to communicate with each other.
Traditionally, the Summit is being held in San Francisco, where is located one of the offices of the company, and this year I first visited there. Want to share with you news from the world of Atlassian, and just impressions.
Got to the Summit, I can say, "for free". Last year, Atlassian is holding a contest Bamboo Task Master, which was to write extensions for Bamboo — the Continuous Integration system. And I (with the invaluable assistance of colleagues) won this contest with Bamboo VMWare Plugin, which allows you to start and stop virtual machines with the test beds before and after Assembly.
Of course, the cost of attending the Summit significantly less expenditure on travel and accommodation, but still nice :)
The summit was held over 3 days — from 30th may to 1st June. The first day was dedicated to trainings and informal knowledge, and the remaining two days were held under the banner of reports and lightning talk-s (short but useful interventions).
The meeting was held in Concourse Exhibition Center, which, incidentally, is located near the office Atlassian. The weather was quite warm, but a steady wind is a little unnerving.
the
The trainings I attended (they were aimed more at beginners), so on the first day after walking around San Francisco, come straight to registration.
On reception gave a very easy badge, inside of which was a Packed programme of events, which is well saved from having to dig through the bag in search of the timetables. And, of course, the badge was bilateral, so there was no need to think, not whether he turned over to him a blank side. Organizers of local conferences check out!
Immediately after the registration issued, the guest package, inside which was found a thermos with the logo of one of the sponsors, a thermos mug with logo Bitbucket and a little junk. By the way, on the way back, I was even a little worried that the us border guards at the "transmission" of my bag at the airport did not accept snaadaptername thermos for something else, but nothing happened.
The first day was memorable for the communication with sponsors, whose "cubicles" were made a Central part of the exhibition complex, as well as communication with colleagues and users. Although it's probably more memorable freestuff sushi.
By the way, from the territory of the former Soviet Union was the St. Petersburg colleagues from ALMWorks, whose stand was quite popular. Well, if someone else was there from the Russian-speaking population, then the commentary, it will be interesting to hear your opinion.
After the "semi-official" opening was followed by a very informal part of the party in one of the nearby bars, again organized one of the sponsors. I'm at this party did not stay long, because so much health, and soon went to walk around and relax before the next day.
the
The second day of the Summit with his speech, he opened one of the founders of Atlassian Mike Cannon-Brookes.
He told about the new strategy for Enterprise clients. Atlassian has finally started to provide for the large and clumsy customers fast and 24/7 support. Boasted your own cloud service of their own applications OnDemand, which since the announcement last fall, has gained nearly one million users.
Pleased with the news that the forthcoming JIRA 5.1 is faster than 5.0. Performance gains relative to 4.4 is expected to be nearly 2.5 times.
Was officially presented Atlassian Marketplace, which essentially is the sequel to the Plugin Exchange, service for publishing and downloading plugins, but with a convenient opportunity to sell their commercial plugins directly there. By the way, the opportunity to use the licensing system and the payment will cost the developer 25% of the earned money. This is less than in the AppStore or GooglePlay, but still noticeable.
With a spoon (and someone and ladle) of tar in this situation, it seems that the Marketplace is working all countries. And of course, exUSSR left behind. On the sidelines of representatives Atlassian boasted that they still are developing countries, where 95% of buyers, and the question "when will we", shrugged and answered "when you no longer require stamp every piece of paper."
But enough about sad things. During the existence of the Exchange/Marketplace has been downloaded more than a thousand plugins and made three million downloads plugins users. 59 (and probably more) of all the plug-ins are already available for purchase through the new Marketplace. ForWest ordinary users of the Marketplace will provide an opportunity to "sync" all their licenses in order to pay for all products and plugins at the same time, and not throughout the year.
Among other things Mike boasted that the company had grown to 500 people and continues to gain momentum. Atlassian is not the first year on the market and I think overcoming the challenges of growth for them is not difficult.
After Mike spoke Jeff Ma, that was MIT Blackjack Team, which with the help of his mind left a casino (no, not intelligent, typical) no money. I even now find it difficult to say what the main idea wanted to convey to Jeff (I think that team is really cool), but listen to him was very interesting.
After Jeff-we still got some interesting talked about the upcoming Confluence 4.3. In this version there is a new notification in real time directly on the page, so that you don't have to climb up in the mail and see what happens. Appeared simple but nice opportunity to task lists — as a personal user and on the General page, in the form of a checklist. Of the innovations is the mobile version of Confluence, which, in essence, is that mobile devices issued a special way reformatted page, where the removed unnecessary elements, larger fonts, pictures and tables are stretched across the width of the screen. It looked pretty good.
At the moment you can download 4.3 EAP (Early Access Program) and to read the current version release notes
Then came an event called Launchpad where the sponsors had 5 minutes to talk about your product audience. And auditory give presenters instant feedback, immediately after the report by voting via SMS or on the website. Tore room, as one would expect, performances that took the unconventional design — Gliffy it was the pirates
and Stepstone (Zen Foundation) complained about the hard life in a straitjacket.
Although it should be noted that some of the sponsors took the Summit as an excuseto read a piece of paper boring and without a spark to talk about his product. So some of them have a number of customers could even be diminished.
Then came lunch, which Atlassian did was ingenious and drove to the building several so-called Food trucks popular in fast food chains. By the way absolutely did not mean poor quality or tasteless. And the place for communication is not bad.
But upon closer inspection, found a "nondescript" office Zynga
After lunch, I basically was on the sections dedicated to Confluence, and found out that 4.3 promise the built-in sorting tables, which people suffer very much, since 4.0. And, finally, drag-and-drop of images and macros in the page. More was discussed about "instant editor" that will open without reloading the page (as in 4.2 made comments), but in 4.3 EAP I still don't see it. Maybe it was just "thinking out loud".
Then I switched to another one of his favorite sections — development of plugins, but there has been discussed the things that the shipping community has no special meaning. If anyone interesuetsja that, he will tell us in the comments or in PM.
On the second floor of the exhibition center was open to the so-called AtlasBar where everyone could come to the Atlassian staff and to consult on matters of mutual interest.
The second day ended with another party in the area of the Embarcadero near the Bay.
the
The following day showed that the party was good, although over time people have moved up enough.
The day began with a performance of the second founder of Atlassian, Scott Farquhar.
Immediately, it was reported that the initiative Atlassian called FedEx Days, in which interested employees (and now not just employees) was given 24 hours time to bring to life any idea, change the name. At the request of someone changing the name obviously, but it is surprising that this name has lasted so long with no claims of the rightholder. The new name gives originality and sounds like ShipItDays.
Scott further drew attention to the growing popularity of the DVCS. For example, according to polls, last year, 19% percent of customers used the Atlassian DVCS, against 48% this year. Naturally, there was presented Stash — the system to manage Git repositories within the enterprise.
Then was presented GreenHopper 5.10 (a plugin that adds Agile in JIRA) and Goodies JIRA 5.1. From the visible to the common user features there will be inline-edit in fact for all the displayed fields, and now will not have to change one value to run in edit mode and back.
Of the novelties introduced in GreenHopper 5.10, about which it was told in one of the following reports, it should be noted mnogopoliarnosti now on the same "blackboard" in a single sprint it will be possible to work with applications from different projects. Plus Rapid board now becomes the primary, and the current becomes an additional called the Classic board. Small, but handy feature — display dots number of days that the application hangs on "Board".
It was still very fun to watch sitting carefully outlines companion of Rally :)
And in a break between presentations, I managed to snag one of the founders of Atlassian, and a little to talk with him.
From other reports on this day include:
From 0 — 100 Million with No Salespeople. Not new but useful idea that every employee needs to be a little seller. But not to sell the product to friends, asOriflame the movers and shakers business networking and to give people information about their company and how interesting they are doing. At Atlassian, for example, there are no sellers in the classic sense of the word; no one calls or writes customers that they bought the product. There's only the marketing team and the electronic system of sale of products on the website. The client always comes for the purchase.
the Minecraft and JIRA: Behind the Scenes. Joe Clark of Atlassian JIRA and have zainteresoval Minecraft. Although at first glance this occupation and useless, but it added to the laughing audience many moments of life and unobtrusive acquainted with JIRA REST API
the How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse (Or Any Other Natural Disaster) Using JIRA. Remember that, in the company of the speaker has "duty flash drive" installed there a JIRA and a plan of work in it in case of any unforeseen cataclysm, which will deny the local network. Of course, if the network and the server remains running, the same plan is in standard JIRA.
the Workflow Magic. Told about JIRA Workflow Sharing Plugin, which frees administrators from the headaches when porting workflow (with all the attached pieces) from one JIRA installation to another.
the Session with Eric Ries, author of Lean Startup. Main conclusion: the study has not been canceled.
Generally, videos of all the reports promised to lay out the Network so that everyone can study what they are interested in more detail.
Ended the last day with a party Atlassian Experts — authorized partners Atlassian, exercising for an end-user support, licensing, customization, and so on. And I got there due to the fact that our company just before the Summit and got the status of an Expert. The atmosphere was quite interesting and friendly, although most Experts and clustered by their companies, which I, as a newcomer in these ranks was difficult, but the event still loved it.
On that I bow out and I'm going to write a post about the use of the Atlassian office, where everyone was invited for a tour after the Summit.
Up to new meetings!
