This is such an obvious conflict of interest. They know Confluence is full of proprietary information. They are violating their client's trust

Atlassian enables default data collection to train AI

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's explicitly not legal in California and some other places.
Also for business customers? I would expect such regulations to only apply to b2c contexts.
California's law apparently only applied to B2C, but there was an FTC rule that applied to B2B as well which has been paused by a federal appeals court while they consider if the FTC followed the law in making the rule.

#113Will Atlassian be harvesting code and content from private Bitbucket repositories? The wording in their policies and FAQ's is vague, so I'd like to get a definitive (Yes / No) answer.
I think I looked for this months ago, and my interpretation was that no, they were not doing AI training with it.. but with this announcement, I will be moving all my stuff to my own servers.
cloud repos are handy, but, having to constantly worry if some criminal comes "joinks, its my data now", is not worth it.

#114Bye bye Bitbucket, Jira, Confluence, etc. Seriously, if you're using any Atlassian product other than Statuspage, you deserve to get your data hoovered up for AI.
Re: Atlassian enables default data collection to train AI
#115Atlassian just goes from misstep to misstep. I still use their products quite often. The amount of P0 bugs I experience is absolutely crazy: - Bitbucket workers are hopelessly out of date (self hosted). We've had to put so many random workarounds in especially for Docker, as they don't keep them up to date enough - I have had a bug in JIRA for years where I can't reorder a new ticket unless I refresh the page - Every…
It can't be that hard to just dump/export the entire JIRA in one day and migrate it to something else like linear.app? i was already exporting HTML dumps of the entire JIRA and using it in local tool calls to ground agents as far back as last year instead of wrestling with JIRA API to get it to work. This was before linear became popular.
The migration would take 1-2 engineering man-days I suppose. But its money well spent.

How do you export all of jira? any tips or github repos?

I worked there and the answer is the engineering talent isn't great, in addition to being very unfocused, and tons of pointless org churn. Bitbucket pipelines/workers was originally implemented, essentially, by two guys (I know, because I sat 2 rows of desks apart from them!) if that tells you anything. I doubt there was more than one person actively maintaining it for the past decade, if they didn't get laid off recently. That office doesn't even physically exist anymore, and the people are long gone.

#118Yet another opportunity to provide an alternative that keeps data private
I’m building a self-hosted Confluence alternative called Docmost. It’s open-source and can run fully air-gapped.

There is an export button on Jira. https://youtu.be/-wGRKzYmA7o?t=92 was what I used. For the workspace docs there is also an export button that can export all the documentation for the project(the export would be in HTML). I then used a simple script built with an LLM to convert all of it into markdowns.

#120You can thank GitHub for setting this draconian precedent
