Hosted By
Mark Higgins, Atlassian Community Leader
I've been a supporter of Atlassian and its products since they where a small office in Sydney, which goes back to the start of the century (nearly).
I've been in IT forever, even before it was called IT, as was known as the EDP department. Starting in 1984, just after the first PC came out, I've seen and been involved in so much change in IT, that its unrecognizable from the time I started.
I remember Windows NT4, Windows 3.1, SQL 6.0 , floppy disks and a number of others that are now consigned to history.
To be part of the community, is very rewarding, and I've always been someone who volunteers, from coaching my son's soccer team, from the U7's, cricket teams, my daughters soccer team, my work with Oxfam.
I love community sport events, having done 17 Oxfam trail walks, more than 10 City to Surfs, Countless Gong Rides, Bowral Rides, half a dozen Half marathons, and 20 years ago, the Sydney marathon.
Now, its mostly cycling, and my South Sydney Rabbitohs, and now that I can WFH, my labradoodles, Casper and Willow.

James O'Connor, Atlassian Community Champion
I've been in the IT industry for nearly three decades, starting out as a developer back in the mid-90s before moving into the world of Business Analysis. I now run a team of fantastic BAs in the daily battle to create software that adds value for our customers, with Atlassian products as the backbone of all our processes.
