About the Atlassian Codegeist Competition 2020
The Atlassian Codegeist Competition is an annual contest centered around bringing programmers together to come up with new reformative technologies to solve global problems.
The 2020 edition themed DevOps & Productivity is focused on the search for creative cloud applications sectioned in two tracks:
Built with connect: Contestants are to create production-ready applications and integrations for their favorite Atlassian Cloud tools: Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and more. Come up with solutions that would help their teamwork smarter or pick a topic of their own that inspires them.
Plus, use the Trello customization platform to build Trello Power-Ups and compete for the corresponding bonus prizes!
Built with forge: This Atlassian’s new cloud app development platform, Forge, allows you to build trusted, scalable apps in as little as a few hours with Atlassian-hosted computer and storage, eliminating the need to manage infrastructure or security. Forge is still in beta so join the waitlist using referral “Codegeist” to get access and start building.
