Hi Pawel, Thanks for the follow-up and for looking for an alternative name. I have added the trademark usage request review/approval to the Dec 02 Governance Meeting agenda <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Nr8QpqYgBiZjORplL_3Zkwys2qK1vEvK-NYyYa4rzg/edit#heading=h.v4sls9rnbtoa>. Let's see whether we can reach a consensus in the email list ahead of the meeting.
One challenge for the naming is that the suggested name (Kubernetes Operator Service for Jenkins) uses not only the Jenkins trademark, but also "Kubernetes" which is also the Linux Foundation trademark subject to the same trademark usage rules. It is less of a concern for the Jenkins community, but please keep in mind that our approval, if granted, will address only the "Jenkins" trademark usage. The "Kubernetes" trademark usage is not something we can approve or reject, it is a subject for a separate discussion with the trademark owner.
