Dressed in my best “I don’t care what I am wearing, but I care what you think” outfit, I was out to dinner with various characters from the enterprise wiki postercompany, Atlassian. Both Jay and I were rotund with transparent geekery and well cooked bovine. Neither of which seemed to stop us from having a glass (bottle? ) of wine too many as we discussed our Confluence implementation with president of the firm – Jeffrey Walker. I think that for Jeffrey and the rest of the Atlassian team in attendance, it was just another night, in another town, with a couple of zealous wiki fans, drunk on the Confluence kool-aid. For us, however, it was a unique chance to both thank and appreciate some of the people who believed in us from the very beginning.

While my interactions with Jeffrey were relatively limited from there on out, he was unwavering in his support and advocacy.  No matter how long it had been since a sale or a marketing event, he was gracious, appreciative, and genuinely interested in our continuing slog through the E2 adoption quagmire. In light of his tragic passing yesterday, we wanted to express our condolences and gratitude to his personal and professional family at home and Atlassian HQ.

Jeffrey, you will be sorely missed. We would not be where we are today without you and the dedicated people at Atlassian.

Thank you.

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. ;)
