Hi,

I've occasionally noticed this account on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenkinscischool
  • Account name
    • This account does not seem to be official
    • There was no trademark usage permission request
    • It has the "CI" suffix, from which we're trying to get rid of
  • The logo is a bit... uncommon
    • I suppose this artwork does not require permissions from the community
    • BTW, it may cause a negative impression about Jenkins project

IMHO it's good to have more resources distributing the information about Jenkins, hence it would be great to make it aligned with the project policies and official resources.


I propose to contact the account's owner in order to discuss its adjustment & trademark permission. I'll send this link to this thread to @JenkinsCiSchool


Best regards,
Oleg Nenashev

It's a Twitter account posting some links, not "part of [a] trademark or
brand identifier for Jenkins-based software goods or services":
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Governance+Document#GovernanceDocument-Trademark

I've seen a bunch of identical tweets like "thanks for following me,
Jenkins CI School" over the past few weeks, so something's a bit odd,
but I don't think it's anything to worry about, certainly not from a
trademark point of view.

Regards,
Chris

The account has been renamed to "Learning Jenkins", so now there is no conflict in any case.
I'm going to ask to add the "Unofficial resource" warning to the account's display or to the account description. It should solve the issue at all.
