Atlassian Plugin of the Month Webinar on GliffyToday

Hot on the heals of the 1.5 release of our Confluence Plugin, and right around the time we expect to release our JIRA Plugin, I’ll be presenting both products at the Plugin of the Month Webinar hosted by Atlassian on January 28th.

If you’re interested in learning more about how Gliffy Plugins work with Atlassian products, this is a must attend event, and you should definitely register for the webinar today.

If you like this webinar, you’ll probably be interested in Atlassian’s other fine events coming up, too.

See you at the webinar!

BPMN Symbol Library
With this release, Gliffy now enables you to create detailed Business Process Modeling Notation diagrams. Helpful in providing members of your team clear picture of your business processes, this symbol library includes events, activities, artifacts, gateways and swimlanes, as well as related connectors.

French and German Translations (Excludes Gliffy Client)

One of the things I learned at the recent Atlassian Developer Camp was that French and German are the only two additional languages that Confluence supports out of the box. As such, we’ve also added support for these two languages on the Confluence Integration side only. We have some major changes to the Gliffy Client that we’ll be working on in 2009 which will enable us to add language s

Gliffy Online Release - BPMN Symbols and Folder ManagementDecember 8 2008

We are proud to announce a significant update to Gliffy Online. This update includes the new BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) symbol library and account folder management. Other features include website login, an easier sign up and payment process, and no more 5 diagram limit for free accounts! We also did a major revamp of our server-side code that will give better performance, reliability, and scalability in the long run.

BPMN Symbol Library
Gliffy now allows you to create detailed Business Process Modeling Notation diagrams. These diagrams are helpful in getting stakeholders a clear picture of your business processes. This symbol library includes events, activities, artifacts, gateways and swimlanes, as well as the specific connectors. The multi-lane swimlane symbols have adjustable lanes and the pool headers auto-resize with text input. Most of the new BPMN symbols allow their line and fill color to be user-defined.

Geocaching Guide by GliffyOctober 30 2008

My hubby and I started Geocaching through our local state park system. We’re hooked! The downfall has been trying to explain our adventures to friends and families, so I came up with this nifty Gliffy Flowchart to explain the process:

We’ve found that Geocaching is an active way to explore our community and places we travel.
I shared this Gliffy Flowchart using the Gliffy Collaboration features. This made it easy for people with computers of all types to easily see the diagram. I’m hoping I can get my family, friends and neighbors hooked too!

Does Your Vote Count?September 24 2008

As the election season ramps up here in the United States, let’s take a moment to ponder the question: does your vote count?

Here at Gliffy, we implemented the JIRA public issue tracking system. This system logs all the feature requests, reminds us of the typos found on our website and tracks our progress on fixing any bugs. At Gliffy, the more votes an issue in JIRA receives, the more likely we are to prioritize that as a topic to address. Here, the issue with the most votes wins.

This chart shows the comparison between the two voting systems.

In the United States election for the President and Vice President, the winner is not determined by the popular vote. Rather the winner is chosen through a process known as the Electoral College. The process:
- Each state (and the District of Columbia), is granted a certain number of Electoral Votes
- The popular-vote-winner of each state determines how ALL of th
