Quick update on the Atlassian $timulus drive I previously reported about: at 2pm on the last day of the promotion, they are at $93K – the $100K donation is realistic… but they may need a little push.
So I decided to put my money (well, a little) where my mouth is and have just purchased 10 5-person licences of Confluence, the market leading enterprise wiki. Not that I can use them all – so I will find a way to give them away in the future.
If you want to help them donate $100K to Room to Read, you can do your part easily … and just as a reminder, you’re buying a $1,200 licence for $5. What a bargain to close out the week. 
Update: Krish, sitting next to me at the Under the Radar conference beat me: he purchased 15 licences.
Update #2: With 3 hours to go Atlassian is just $2.5K short of reaching the target. See coverage map at Mike’s blog.
Update #3: Ah, the drama of the last minutes:
$590 short. Need $30/minute now… at least we did $35 last minute!
Just tipped $99,510… I wonder if we should just leave it up for 10 minutes extra, or does that seem dodgy?
Well… computer says it’s…over $100k!!
Woo! Woo!!! Dancin’ around the room. Atlassian Stimulus Package 400% of $25k goal. What a week. Simply staggering. THANK YOU EVERYBODY!
Atlassian Stimulus Package (preliminary) final total – $100,350 for Room To Read in 120 hours from 7284 _awesome_ startups and teams!!

[..] Personally I am safe – I don’t have active accounts, just decided to help push Atlassian’scharity towards the finish lineby purchasing 10 licences, but if you do, time to change the passwords… [..]
[...] and I thought we should put our money where our mouth (pen? keyboard?) is, and both purchased a bunch of licences just to help push Atlassian towards the finish line. The last minutes were dramatic: $640 short [...]
