Easy. Sign up for a Bitbucket account using your academic email address. We’ll do the rest. We’ve expanded the automatic academic account upgrade process to include all high-level educational domains such as .edu, ac.il, edu.sg, etc.

    As a senior lecturer at a university, I’ve taken this one step further; since I already had my research and teaching material on bitbucket, I simply made the course materials publicly available, and tell my students where to find it. In the first course I did this the end result was that all teams were using some form of configuration management system for their software. So, if you’re interested in e.g. a course on software architectues, be my guest:

    I have requested an academic account via http://www.atlassian.com/software/views/bitbucket-academic-license.jsp several
    minutes before I found this interactive(?) discussion. Could you please add
    ‘@m.tohoku.ac.jp’ to the university email list, or, more productively, include
    ‘ac.jp’ to the high-level educational domains?

    Is it still unlimited if an academic account user invites a non-academic member?
