Jenkins-LSCI (Life Sciences Continuous Integration) name trademark and usage question

[Ioannis Moutsatsos]

Greetings to all;

We have developed a number of scientific applications based on Jenkins-CI. Essentially we are able to deliver scientific workflows and data pipelining using the Jenkin-CI framework and selected ecosystem plugins. Much of the philosophy and strategy has been presented as part of the BioUno open source project. 

Now, I would like to open source the know how, Jenkins jobs and utilities that support high performance scientific imaging that I have developed for the company I work for. The public Git project will accompany a manuscript we have submitted for publication.

My question (as a non lawyer and scientist) is whether there are any restrictions or preferences on the use of the 'Jenkins' name. Internally we refer to our project as Jenkins for Life Sciences Continuous Integration or Jenkins-LSCI. Would this be an acceptable name to publish the project on GitHub or are we running into legal issues and objections here.

Any feedback or previous experiences is welcomed.

Thank you

Ioanns

I believe this needs board approval.

Yes, there are restrictions.

See https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Governance+Document - the section on Trademark should give you a guide as to next steps.

Hi,

The best way to go forward on that one would be to add that item as a subject for the next Gov meeting (caveat, in almost a month since next one is skipped because of Jenkins World):

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Governance+Meeting+Agenda

And then, Ioannis, attend the meeting on IRC (#jenkins-meeting). Depending on your TZ, it can be more or less difficult. But if I'm not wrong, that should be in your afternoon, so probably possible.

Cheers
