Company logos for Thrift site
Hi all, I'm revamping our incubator site and would like to include a
section about the companies which use Thrift. Given that it's open
source and anyone can search the committers list, I don't see any
security/privacy problems with this -- but I did want to run this by
everyone first. Here's the current list that I have:
Facebook
PowerSet
RapLeaf
iMeem
AmieStreet
reCaptcha
Please let me know if you and/or your company's legal folks would like
anything added or removed from this, or if you have a particular logo
that you prefer to have used (otherwise I will use whatever is made
available on the website's press pages).

Similar situation with last.fm - we're big users of thrift for internal
services.

We're no big committers to the project but we do use Thrift extensively at
our company. So if you're looking for more references, count us in.

Hmm, ok, these pages do seem like a good precedent for what we want to
do. I'll plan on using this style, and your point about not mentioning
committer affiliation is duly noted.
I've also pinged the PRC, will see if they have any other feedback on
this.

The way a lot of other projects do this is through a "Powered By" wiki
page. IMHO, committers should not be shown to have affliations to
corporates.

Other apache projects have powered by pages that sometimes contain logos.
E.g.,

RE: Company logos for Thrift site

There will be a pretty vast distribution difference between the main
Apache site vs. a sub-page of the Thrift incubator project that I think
mitigates this risk. I don't think any company willing to pay for
placement on the main site would be satisfied with placement on the
Thrift page.
Also, in this case, the intention is to go the other direction -- not to
give publicity to 3rd party brands via association with Apache, but
rather to help endorse the credibility of Thrift via these companies'
use of the code. The aim is really to help further the goals of the
Apache Thrift project, not to advertise for companies, and I'm pretty
confident the design will be interpreted as such.
As you suggest, I'll ping the PRC about this and see what they say.
Cheers,
Mark

Personally, I'd be okay with name mentions, but not logos. I'd run it by
the public relations committee (prc at apache.org). My reasoning is that
our sponsors pay major $$$ to get logos onto our main site, so I'm
uncomfortable giving logos away for free.
