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
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/jenkinsci-dev/rzNetnrhPRI/7rRfyshG9bEJ>,
and the resolution of it can be seen here
<http://meetings.jenkins-ci.org/jenkins/2014/jenkins.2014-11-26-19.13.html>.
Probably the most important part is that the conditions of the approval,
which is captured here
<https://gist.github.com/kohsuke/573cb5620fcc25c9e5c0/4adb656ca15cac5707ee8fa1e4dabb56855e31c3>
---
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 <https://www.cloudbees.com/jenkins/about> 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.
