Request for new "Jenkins" mark usage

[Kohsuke Kawaguchi]

I put this up for the agenda for the project meeting but forgot to send this into the dev list in a timely manner. In the spirit of better late than never, here it goes.

I'm here to ask for the blessing of the community for CloudBees to use the following name:

• CloudBees Jenkins Platform

This new name refers to the assembly of everything we do --- the mix of "CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise" and "CloudBees Jenkins Operations Center" (which includes "CloudBees Jenkins Analytics".) We wanted a noun to refer to the whole thing (in addition to the names that refer to pieces), so that we can emphasize the one-ness of the things.

The last round of the request, which approved "CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise", "CloudBees Jenkins Operations Center", and "CloudBees Jenkins Analytics" can be seen here, and the resolution of it can be seen here. Probably the most important part is that the conditions of the approval, which is captured here --- the most important part of it is that the due credit be given to the community that this is an independent effort, and our stuff is a derived work. I've written this page in the company website, and this page is referenced from various materials when we talk about CJE/CJOC/CJA/etc. I'd like to think we kept those conditions faithfully.

I think the proposed new name fits the same naming convention, and the situation and the considerations led to the approval of the request hasn't really changed. So I hope I can get the new name approved.
