Report from Moscow Atlassian Meetup April 20

At the end of April, the third mitap was held, dedicated to Atlassian products. The program was designed primarily for experienced administrators and developers. We bring to your attention presentations and videos of speeches by speakers.

"The history of the development of eazyBI", Raimonds Simanovskis (eazyBI, Latvia)

eazyBI makes it easy to build reports and charts, being one of the most popular JIRA plug-ins on the Atlassian Marketplace. The founder and lead developer of eazyBI, Raimonds Simanovskis, came from Latvia to talk about the evolution of eazyBI from a single web application to a set of several products with different deployment options.

"How to write your first plugin for JIRA", Alexander Kuznetsov (StiltSoft, Belarus)

Are you an experienced JIRA administrator? Easily customize custom fields, never lose track of workflow, but sometimes you miss the standard JIRA functionality? It's okay - you always have the opportunity to write a plugin for JIRA. Do not know how? Teach!

The talk was about what first steps should be taken by an experienced JIRA administrator when developing their first plug-in. Alexander told about the Atlassian SDK and about its most frequently used commands that simplify the life of a novice plugin developer. The structure of the plug-in was thoroughly dismantled, what basic “building blocks” it consists of and how to combine these “building blocks” into a single whole. During the speech, together with the audience, we tried to write our first plugin and launch it in JIRA.

"Pocker - GUI for Docker", Vladimir Vasilkin (ALMWorks, St. Petersburg)

Easy and fast deployment of Atlassian products in various configurations and management. When developing plug-ins for Atlassian solutions, all process participants often need to deploy JIRA or Confluence in a specific environment:

• developers do this for debugging;
• QA - for testing;
• customer support - to reproduce customer problems;
• sales - to demonstrate the new functionality;
• system administrators - for developers, QA and others.

Vladimir spoke about how using the OpenSource-Pocker tool you can easily and quickly raise such configurations by selecting different DBMS, versions, plug-ins, bases, and then manage them - start / stop, view logs and so on.

We ourselves really liked the technical orientation of the mitap. We plan to hold the following meetings in this format, there are enough managerial events without us. :)

Many thanks to all participants and especially to the speakers! Come next time.
