April is here and, as promised, we’ve got a monthly round-up for the Developer Community!
Firstly, a huge, warm welcome to all the new folks 
. We had 453 new developers join us since March 1! We’re always excited to see more people figuring out how to build on Atlassian. If you’re new, feel free to reply to this topic and introduce yourself. We’d love to hear about who you are what you’re working on.
Badges 
We’ve been doing spring cleaning around here and decided to freshen up badges a bit. In addition to landing some new illustrations on some classics, we’ve added Forge Expert to the line-up. Quite a few folks have already earned Level 1, but no one has gotten to Level 2 yet. Who will be the first?
We’ve also added a couple of new ones to the mix. Is anyone an expert across all Atlassian products and platforms? According to the query we have running for the new Atlassian Expert badge, no one has yet to achieve at least 1 accepted answer in each of the following categories: Jira, Forge, JSM, Bitbucket, Confluence, and Trello. There are a few folks who are so close!
Do you think anyone visits the Developer Community too often? Let’s find out!
A few more badges are in the works! What else should we add? Some ideas we’ve had:
- Tough Questions: Users who have made a number of posts without responses.
- Staff Lover: Users who have liked the most Atlassian Staff posts.
- Loving Lurker: Users who never post but like others’ posts.
Got ideas? Leave them in a reply.

Thanks for summarizing these upcoming Atlassian Community events! I’ve attended a few lean coffees; lean coffee is a neat way of running a discussion!
