?? Their source code is downloadable to us since we have a license, but I've not checked. Everything else Atlassian purchased has been Java, afaik.

And Atlassian's only opinionated project manager I know about is Jens who does Stash, so I think you are generalizing to apply that to all of Atlassian. I've been using their products a long time now and he is the first that has been like that, but I know what you mean. He doesn't really meet up with Atlassian's typical level of customer service because of his attitude, but maybe he's a "rockstar" that deserves respect.

Heck they stole most of their name from BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/features

And BitBucket was an attempt to steal GitHub's business primarily with Mercurial at the time, that Atlassian bought up, and since then GitHub has still been their #1 competitor, (not counting Sourceforge).

I think I threw up a little in my mouth when I read that.

BSA can't take the name Skouts, could it? Has a K in it for hacKer, and the name is hacked- so it's a double whammy.

BTW- I like Maker Skouts, too. Considering most of the stuff listed is Maker and not Hacker oriented, and Maker has no bad connotations to the uninformed.

BTW2- the first badge stemming from welding == awesome.

You must not have kids, because that statement scares the shit out of me.
