[DISCUSS] Putting Flink user names / logos on the homepage

[Stephan Ewen]

Hi all!

I was wondering if we want to put some names / logos of Flink users on the
page.
A bunch of Apache projects do that, for example, have a look at the Storm
home page http://storm.apache.org

From that section of users/logos, we would link to the "Powered By" section
in the wiki.

That would help showing the great adoption that the community has achieved
by now.

Let me know what you think!

Greetings,
Stephan

Hi,
If we have some high-profile users that a worthwhile putting there and that
are OK with us putting up their logos then this would be great.

Cheers,
Aljoscha

I do like the idea, that seems to be the trend now - the Bigtop community
had a similar initiative recently. [1]
Helps dealing with the "Is it mature enough?" question. :)

We have the "Powered By" page already.
My naive assumption was that companies that have clearance to put their
name there are also okay with a logo.
After all, it is only displaying the same information in a more prominent
place.

It’s a great idea! I would be happy if I can help something.

In addition, maybe we can move the full “Powered By” wiki page to the website to reduce external link.

Good discussion and I think we could bring this to dev list instead.

One reminder we should reduce cross posting to private& and dev@ lists to
avoid accidental exposure to internal PMC business.

With lots of discussion about branding issues with Apahe projects, eg
Apache Spark, I would recommend us to move cautiously.

We need to make sure companies listed in the homepage do not represent
contributions or control over Apche Flink project.

We got some concerns about our Shepard initiative so let's make sure we
don't get another concern bc of this. What's being done in other projects
may not actually acceptable or the right thing to do.
