Bamboo has Jira covered
We recently installed the latest Bamboo Code Coverage plugin on our internal Bamboo build box for Jira. This plugin was contributed via our Codegeist competition. After using it for a little while I have to say it’s an incredibly useful tool. The coverage tests run once a week. Currently this only accesses unit test coverage, […]

What are you waiting for?
Tommi Laukkanen was one of our most prolific Codegeist entrants this year — submitting four individual plugins, each of which was very cool. I was even more impressed after reading his blog entry about the process where he reveals that these were the first Atlassian plugins he had ever written! He writes about the experience: […]
ShipIt V – Bamboo Firefox Plugin – Redux
So my last ShipIt Day, I started to stumble into the world of Firefox Plugin’s, the result was a somewhat lame and only partially usable Bamboo plugin for Firefox. This time round I decided to have another crack at it, pick up from where I left off, and try to make this puppy shippable! So […]

We’ll have the results ready to announce next week, so stay tuned. The t-shirts should be back from the […]

ShipIt V – Copy Space Plugin
For ShipIt V I created a plugin that allows a Confluence space to be copied. This is partially in response to the existence of CONF-3191, but it’s more because the workaround is horrible. Occasionally when I’ve been working in support, I’ve been asked about how to copy a space, and it always makes me cringe. […]
ShipIt V Social Network Analysis of Atlassian Blogs
For my ShipIt Day project, I wrote an application to extract social interaction data from internal Atlassian blog posts and perform several types of Social Network Analysis. Social Network Analysis uses graph theory algorithms to study social relationships among individuals. I compared the Atlassian blogging community to three other datasets, which can be downloaded for […]
ShipIt V – Configurable User Repositories
My ShipIt project this time was fairly ambitious: provide a pluggable user repository layer for Confluence that allows dynamic configuration of repositories for users, groups and properties associated with these. (Whew! That was a mouthful.) In essence what it means is while Confluence can retrieve users and groups from a few different places at the […]
Atlassian Partner Seminar in France Moved to September
