Dear all, As you probably know, I lead the Russian-speaking Jenkins community (AKA Jenkins RU). is a great source of technical and content contributions to the Jenkins project. The community includes a number of meetups in Russia and Belarus focusing on Jenkins and Jenkins X, and localized social media and communication channels. There are more details and links in the bottom.
Currently I am working with other activists in order to expand the community activities and onboarding more community maintainers. There are several people interested in being co-organizers of events and/or content managers. There are some items on the table including online meetups, moving to another meetup platform, creating a localized website and getting local sponsorship by companies using Jenkins and providing commercial support for it. Before doing the next steps, I would like to ensure that "Jenkins RU" and "Дженкинс РУ" (transliterated version) are approved for being used for non-commercial purpose. Explicit approval would be useful to protect the community from various kinds of cybersquatting and trademark disputes, so I kindly ask the Jenkins community to approve it. There is no company name associated with my request, so I am ready to just put my name or a list of contributors into the "Company Name" field in the Approved Trademark usage table <https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Approved+Trademark+Usage>. If the request is approved, I also will move this table to jenkins.io as a part of the request implementation. Thanks for your feedback, Oleg Current state of the Russian-speaking community: - Nowadays there are 4 active Russian-speaking JAMs (St. Petersburg, Moscow, Minsk, Nizhny Novgorod), ~2500 participants in total.
