At Australian research org NICTA, in the lab that produced the words first formally verified operating system kernel, many of the researches are serious hackers, with little experience with cutting-edge development tools. Come learn tactics for migration and adoption from home-grown and ill-used legacy systems and processes: driving Confluence adoption and migration using templates & landing pages, blogs for meeting notes, and how to motivate people to think about content structure; how to get JIRA working for people who never want to leave emacs or their mail client; and our use of the Atlassian product APIs.
