Press Release
On April 26, the day of the formal launch, the community is issuing a press release about Jenkins 2.0. We hope to get some coverage about 2.0 in the IT media.
Social Media Images
CloudBees has created about 10 or so images of our favorite Butler that we can have some fun with. Use the image(s) of your choice, make up your own post content to go with the image and push them out on your social media platform of choice. The images try to highlight the dramatic transformation of the Butler - he has a makeover (new UI) and a new website. Additionally, the inclusion of the Pipeline plugin as one of the standard plugins that you can automatically install with Jenkins 2.0, makes getting to CD and pipeline-as-code easy. We will provide a link to the images here in the very near future.
Jenkins 2.0 Certificate
Similar to the certificate that was provided during the #Jenkins100K celebration a year or so ago, there will be a Jenkins 2.0 certificate that downloads with Jenkins. Once you download Jenkins 2.0 and see your certificate, Tweet out your Jenkins Pride with something like: "I am part of the largest upgrade in Jenkins history, #jenkins2!"
