Atlassian already owns HipChat.

Bet GitHub steps up, as they use it already.

daveoflynnon Poll: do you live in the country you were born in?

Ireland->UK->Australia->France. Plus probably 6 months in the USA spread across a number of visits.

Dice.com owns SourceForge now. For a chronology, see Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geeknet#Geeknet

Dice Holdings (DHX) market cap is ~560m. GitHub is almost certainly worth more, growing like crazy, and generally almost finished with making SF irrelevant.

daveoflynnon Bitbucket Joins Atlassian

Upgrade points noted.

JIRA 4.3 and Confluence 3.5 will make it much easier to connect to Crowd. No editing of files required.

We don't have write support for the Posix schema scheduled for Crowd, I'm afraid, so no promises on that front.

Crowd's LDAP code will hit JIRA trunk the day after 4.2 branches for release. So, good LDAP is coming for both JIRA and Confluence.

Yes, it's years later than it should have, but we are finally getting our house in order on that front.

In the next month or so, we'll also be starting to work on a better installation/upgrade experience for JIRA and Confluence. Would you be interested in chatting about what drives you nuts in the upgrade process? I want to make sure we sort out as many of the problems as possible. doflynn@atlassian.com if you have the time.

Yup, the JIRA-Crowd integration experience sucks. It'll be fixed in JIRA 4.3 and Confluence 3.5.

What group membership restrictions do you mean?

(edit: I'm the Product Manager responsible for Crowd).

daveoflynnon America's misguided culture of overwork

On the health care front, both the OECD and The Commonwealth Fund give the USA low marks compared to other Western democracies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_system#Cross-countr...

No comment on the 'luxury' claim; that's too subjective for me.

daveoflynnon Writing Rails code makes me miss writing in Objective-C. Or C. Or Java. Or...

IDEA does that rather nicely. Its maven support can reduce your box to a paperweight when it reindexes, but other than that, it's a very nice product indeed.

If you're not working on a complex codebase, it is total overkill though.

daveoflynnon Atlassian, AU company raises US60M, unheard of for Australian company

Yup. 60-odd folks there, though the majority of the engineering crew are still in Sydney.
