Atlassian News & Articles

In April Atlassian (news, site) launched the Atlassion Stimulus Package, a 5 day offer to purchase a 5-user license for Confluence or JIRA for only US$ 5. All proceeds of the sale of those licenses went to the Room to Read Charity.

In the end, the sales totaled US$ 110,000, and Atlassian concentrated their donation on Cambodia, building 16 libraries, providing a year of education to 68 girls and publishing one Khmer Language Storybook.

Today, they come out with a new offer, again aimed at the small business market, with all proceeds going to the Room to Read charity. But this time there is no end date for the offer.

For US$ 10 you can get:

• JIRA: Issue tracking and project management -- 10-users
• Confluence: Enterprise Wiki -- 10-users
• GreenHopper: Agile Project Management for JIRA  -- 10-users
• Bamboo: Continuous Integration Server -- 10 plans, unlimited local agents, 0 remote agents
• FishEye: Source Code Repository -- 10 committers, 5 repositories
• Crowd: Single-sign on and Identity Management -- 50-users

All software is fully functional and supported by Atlassian. In addition, they are renewable at the same price yearly.

According to Laura Kahlil of Atlassion, "Atlassian is making a commitment to help small teams keep their costs down and to provide continued educational opportunities for children who need it the most."

Atlassian joins a number of other content management industry vendors doing something to make the world a better place. Others include: Kentico (Kentico Goes Green, Plants a Tree for Every Bug in v4.1) and KnowledgeTree (KnowledgeTree's Green Initiative, Plants a Tree for A New Sale).

Atlassian (news, site) says they don't implement features just for the sake of it. That all enhancements to their solutions are based on customer feedback and needs. With the latest release of their enterprise wiki, Confluence, we see that some of these needs are universal across the Enterprise 2.0 market today. All show just how far the wiki has come in only a few short years.

CMSWire spoke with Bill Arconati, Product Marketing Manager, and Laura Khalil of Altassian to get the scoop on the new features and an update on the Atlassian Stimulus Package.

With over 9,000 customers of their solutions and US$ 100 million in cumulative revenues since they started in 2002, you can see that Atlassian (news, site) is working hard to get your business.

Today, they are going a step further offering what they call the Atlassian Stimulus Package. If you are a small business or startup in need of some enterprise level products at a bargain price, then you need to pay attention.

Thanks for the support y’all. The likes of Ademero, CMS Watch, Ektron, Ephox, eTouch SamePage, The Gilbane Group, Hot Banana, Kentico, Quantum Art, Sitecore, Telerik Sitefinity, Xythos and of course dear old uncle Google have kept the Nespresso machines running this week. And we are thankful.

Atlassian has released the latest version of their Confluence enterprise wiki software, officially releasing their SharePoint Connector and a new Connector that will make many MS Office and Open Office users happy.

With a relationship that was first announced at the O’Reilly Web 2.0 Summit in October last year, it was probably no surprise that Atlassian officially announced their partnership with Microsoft to integrate their Confluence wiki with SharePoint at the Enterprise 2.0 conference this week. Still it’s an interesting integration to look closer at. And so we did.

EditGrid, one of Google’s main rivals in the online spreadsheet department, is now available to users of hosted versions of the Confluence enterprise wiki from Atlassian.
