BearingPoint sponsored the DC Atlassian user Group and despite multiple warnings (pleas?) from anyone who has seen us speak before, they gracefully allowed Jay and I to give a quick presentation on our Confluence, Crowd, and JIRA implementation. Clearly we were hearkening Donnie and Marie as Jay was looking a little bit rock and roll and I was looking a little bit country. And yes, I realize this reference means I have a future in NutriSystem adverts.

All in all, the event was a bangin’ good time. In addition to my blathering and Jay’s wisdom, Ken Olofsen was on hand from the Atlassian mothership to give product updates, company overview, etc to the attendees consisting of government and private sector types from around the Beltway. Also, shout out to the guys from Blackboard who gave a neato rundown on their Atlassian stack to SilkCentral integration. 

Thanks to everyone at Atlassian (especially Jessie Curtner!) for throwing down a righteous shindig in the District. Well…as righteous of a shindig that can be had with a bunch of geeks like me. Looking forward to doing it faster, better, and with even more consultanese at the Summit.
