Atlassian Stimulus Package
For this week only, we're offering a special 5-user "starter" license of JIRA and Confluence for only $5 each. We're calling it the Atlassian Stimulus Package and it's our way of supporting small teams and small businesses in this difficult economic environment. Best of all, we're going to donate every penny to charity, so please help us spread the word!
The Atlassian Foundation is donating all proceeds to Room to Read, a charity that helps the world's future entrepreneurs by building libraries and schools for children in developing nations.
Get all the details at www.atlassian.com/starter. Hurry, offer ends on 24 April 2009.
