The Atlassian Summit 2012 is fast approaching and to say we are excited would be an understatement.
As official Summit sponsors we are looking forward to seeing all you Atlassian enthusiasts at the Clearvision booth; we will be giving out free goodies...just saying!
What we really wanted to tell you is that this year, not only are we sponsoring Summit but Atlassian have asked us to produce and run a number of training courses on the Wednesday 30th of the Summit. The courses include:
At the not so sunny Clearvision Headquarters in the UK we searched for an answer to the question; what is cool?
The obvious yet somewhat pretentious answer to that would be us, as we’re subzero! However, something else we all agreed that was pretty cool and slick is the new iPad (3).
Then, and here’s the exciting bit, we decided to give one away. Some call us insane, we call it generosity!
For the chance to win this beautiful piece of technical excellence all we require from you is a response to our short survey about your software development environment. Simple as that!
The competition will close Friday 29th June 2012 and one lucky winner will be selected.
Clearvision reserve the right to include your name and company name within a news article promoting the results of the survey.
Clearvision may use your contact details from time to time to contact you for marketing purposes.
There is no cash alternative to the prizes, and Clearvision reserve the right to substitute the prize being offered with one of equal or greater value.
The selected winner will allow 60 days for delivery of the prize, after notification was received.
The postage and packaging will be paid by the Clearvision.
There will be a total of one prize given away.
Clearvision will accept no responsibility for prizes lost or delayed in delivery by post.
Clearvision may cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the competition or these terms and conditions prior to the cessation of the competition for any reason, including for technical reasons such as computer viruses, bugs, tampering or technical failures.
The winner will receive a prize purchased from a UK product manufacturer.
All technical, support or general enquiries of any type must be raised with the company from which the product was purchased and not Clearvision.
Clearvision will select a winner at random and the results will published on the Clearvision website and via any other marketing methods deemed relevant; Twitter, Facebook etc.
We would like to say congratulations to both Aimia and Eucalyptus Systems who will be attending Atlassian Summit 2012 after being selected as the lucky winners of the Twitter or liking us on Facebook.

The Clearvision space station recently picked up signals from our close neighbours Atlassian.
After careful translation the message has become clear...it's time to GO JIRA. Through reports of many successful migrations from IBM Rational ClearQuest to Atlassian JIRA, Atlassian recognise the sheer power of Affinity as an essential part of their GO JIRA Mission.
Mission Objective: Transport customers swiftly and seamlessly from IBM Rational ClearQuest to Atlassian JIRA.
Vessel: Affinity: The only way to move from IBM Rational ClearQuest to Atlassian JIRA.
Affinity Specification:
In the time it takes to plan a migration of records, fields and attachments, Affinity has already done it!
Granular control over which parts of ClearQuest to migrate to JIRA.
A history of record updates and changes is often required; Affinity maintains the full audit trail during migration.
Designed and built by experts who understand the inner workings of both ClearQuest and JIRA.
Affinity makes moving full history from ClearQuest to JIRA easy.
Every Ship Needs a Great Captain
Much like Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise, Affinity also benefits from a great captain who knows exactly how to harness its full potential.
Luckily the Clearvision consultants are fully trained Affinity experts. They speak both ClearQuest and JIRA fluently and will work to ensure your move to Atlasian JIRA is a complete success.

Why are more and more customers choosing AgileSCM to enhance their open source version control tool of choice?
So let’s concentrate on what our software developers are actually paid to do...write excellent code and produce equally exceptional software as a result. It’s no secret that low cost open source version control solutions such as Subversion, Git and Mercurial are becoming increasingly popular among the software development community. It's also no secret that with these solutions come a number different challenges. The problem many development teams face with open source version control tools is that they lack a consistent policy and process layer.
Branching and Merging
The two words that echo a sinister sound throughout the minds of many software development teams, especially those juggling parallel development efforts. This inherent fear of Branching and Merging often stems from a team's legacy software configuration management tool which, by nature, is commonly based on labelling or tagging models. Too often, Branching and Merging becomes a random process and developers continue to work individually in a way which best suits them. This can often cause confusion about who did what and when, not exactly what you need before a big software release.
AgileSCM to the Rescue...
The good news is that with AgileSCM from Clearvision you can now avoid any future battles between your development team and your version control tool. AgileSCM makes life easy by creating a software development process that encourages best practices, reduces administration effort and drives down time to market. Clearvision use AgileSCM for software development in-house for the same reasons our customers do. Gerald Tombs, Technical Director at Clearvision said "Since we adopted the use of AgileSCM in-house, the productivity gains are astonishing".
AgileSCM delivers exceptional value by successfully removing the many challenges associated with Subversion, Git and Mercurial. AgileSCM achieves this by providing a consistent best practice approach. As a result, developers become more productive which enables release teams to deliver earlier and with greater quality.
