The Kindness of Atlassian, Oy!

Engineers at Benetech (past and present) have done amazing work but a "department" does not function well without good collaboration tools. About a year ago, Atlassian made a donation to Benetech that filled gaps in our infrastructure and paved the way to better Benetech-ian software. Ultimately, our users have benefited and that's the measurement that matters.

The purpose of this posting is to publicly acknowledge the kindness of Atlassian. They have helped us in terms of productivity, communication and transparency. We are a relatively small non-profit but - as a result - we function a little bit more like a professional software development shop. All we need now is a little more geek paraphernalia (lava lamp, Monty Python poster, etc.) and we'll be set.

Cheers to our friends down under! Thanks Atlassian.
