Dear Pawel, We have voted at the today's governance meeting, and there was no majority to support the "VirtusLab Jenkins Operator Service" request (one +1 vote, two 0, and three -1s). The main reasoning behind the voting results is the trademark usage policy we adopted. We suggest to proceed with *"VirtusLab Operator Service for Jenkins"* name or a similar one.
P.S: Taking the voting results, I think it would be fair to strictly follow the Linux Foundation guidelines going forward. As Daniel pointed out, "exceptional cases" create venue for interpretation and confusion when not strictly documented. It is not good for any side.
