About Jenkins
Elevator Pitch
Jenkins is an open source automation server which enables developers around the world to reliably build, test, and deploy their software.
Blurb
Jenkins, originally founded in 2006 as "Hudson", is one of the leading automation servers available. Using an extensible, plugin-based architecture developers have created hundreds of plugins to adapt Jenkins to a multitude of build, test, and deployment automation workloads. In 2015, Jenkins surpassed 100,000 known installations making it the most widely deployed automation server.
Governance
Our Governance Document outlines the project’s philosophy, structure and guidelines. This also includes information on the Governance Board, which is the group with acting executive authority. While board members are available for comment, we encourage you to reach out to our Press Contacts as an initial point of contact for press inquiries.
The Jenkins project is part of Software in the Public Interest, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, which holds the Jenkins trademark and acts as a legal umbrella organization.

Artwork
Figure 1. Jenkins
On our Logo page we have documented some versions of our logo, including the color palette our branding uses. Our logos can be downloaded in a number of sizes, or as vector graphics, from here. Please do not use any of our "fun logo" variations like Ninja or Superhero Jenkins in publications.
When embedding our logo in an article, we prefer the logo.png (see Figure 1)
to be used over the headshot.png image.
If you have any questions about artwork, please ask one of the Press Contacts.
About Blue Ocean
Elevator Pitch
Blue Ocean is a new user experience for Jenkins based on a personalizable, modern design that allows users to graphically create, visualize and diagnose Continuous Delivery (CD) Pipelines
Screenshots
Pipeline Editor
Developers of any skill level can create Continuous Delivery pipelines from start to finish using the intuitive and visual pipeline editor.
Pipeline visualization
Enables developers to visually represent pipelines in a way even their boss’s boss can understand, improving clarity into the CD process for the whole organization
Pipeline diagnosis
Developers locate automation problems instantly without endlessly scanning through logs or navigating through many screens.
Personalized dashboard
Developers can make Jenkins their own by customizing their dashboard so that they only see the Pipelines that matter to them.
Github integration
Pipelines are run for all feature branches and pull requests, with their status reported back to Github, so the whole team knows if your changes need work or are good to go.
