About Zaccary Craven
Me in Singapore eating gigantic Chilli Crab
I am the Projects Leader for international eMarketing at a medium sized manufacturing company in Kansai, Japan. My daily work consists of End-User eMarketing (running the 7-language website, mail magazine, online ad campaigns etc) and also “internal eMarketing” such as Intranet development (internal systems for communication, data manipulation etc).
The last 18 months I have been working on a new Ordering system which is going to develop into a CRM and then ERP system. This is using up 90% of my time, hence not many posts about JIRA lately!
I have spent over seven years total in Japan, and I have JLPT 2-kyu level Japanese. I have two kids and my wife is Japanese.

Hi Zaccary,
We’re trying to get the word out about Atlassian Summit (http://www.atlassian.comsummit) and I was wondering if you would consider putting a badge on your website (http://www.atlassian.com/summit/badges.jsp) and/or blogging about it?
Anyway, we’re hoping people in the community can help us get the word out and would appreciate your help if you have time. BTW, are you able to come to the conference?
Regards,
Jon Silvers

Hi Jon,
Im on vacation at the moment but will try to put up a badge when I return. Unfortunately I don’t think my company would send me to the conference, especially in current economic situation.
Cheers,
Zac

Sorry not sure about that, I think in admin area there may be some setting. Probably you just need to make everything available to anonymous user (ie no login required to view content), and then link to the jira somewhere on the web so that google can find it and spider it. Google has a manual submission tool you can use too.

Hi Zaccary,
I am working for Atlassian and have moved from San Francisco to Tokyo just a month ago.
My main mission here is to have more people in Japan use our products. And hopefully their business, developing their software, working efficiency would get better as a result.
You may know we already have Tokyo User Group and had a couple of meetings.
http://confluence.atlassian.co.jp/display/aug/Home
In future, I want to see Osaka or Kansai User Group as the second AUG in Japan. If you are interested in it, please feel free contacting me.
I am a pure Japanese, so if you are more comfortable with Japanese, we can speak in it. I imagine your Japanese is advanced enough.
Cheers,
Sean (or Shunsuke in Japanese)

Everytime I see the announcements about Tokyo meetup I want to mail to say ‘hey what about Kansai!’
I would be interested to join if there is an event in Kansai (hoping for Kobe, the crown jewel of Kansai). Or a web group would be nice. My next challenge is to get users to adopt Confluence once we release it, so some success stories from peers would be great.
