Jenkins is an open source automation server which enables developers around the world to reliably build, test, and deploy their software.
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.
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.

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.

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.
