For those of us that work regularly in Atlassian’s full portfolio of products, we know that we are, in fact, a unique bunch unto ourselves who use software and supporting tools that not just any Joe or Jill Schmoe uses. Atlassian’s products are all built on open-source, and coming across others who use their products is becoming common, thanks to the products being such solid software. Plug: If you don’t use Atlassian’s stuff, try it! Some licenses for the software start at just $10~with proceeds going to charity!

In an effort to unite locals with the same passion for good software and to share tips and tricks about how to best utilize these tools, Contegix has partnered with Atlassian to set up a St. Louis Atlassian User Group. You can find our group on Meetup.com here: http://www.meetup.com/St-Louis-Atlassian/. Our first meeting is scheduled for Thursday, August 19 at 6 p.m. at Hatch, which is located in Maplewood at 7305 Marietta, St. Louis MO 63143. We welcome you to join the group, and of course, forward the information to those you know who use any of Atlassian’s products. Together we hope to share insight and information and perhaps learn a trick or two ourselves in addition to general good times and fun that comes with meeting people.
