Hello All,

Is it O-F-Biz or is it OFF-Biz?

Thanks

Me too. I've heard it said both ways.

Same thing with Jira. Some say jie-rah, some say jeer-rah.

I believe Jira should be pronounced with a short "i" sound, as in Godzilla, which is where the name originated from. http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/JIRA+FAQ

It's definitely "oh-eff-biz". I asked the guy who made up the name and that's what he said.

He also pointed out that if you were to try to pronounce the "of" part of the name it wouldn't be "off" it would be "of", as "uv-biz", and that's just ugly, so it's definitely "oh-eff-biz".

;)
