Stefan Podkowinski commented on CASSANDRA-14128:
------------------------------------------------

I don't feel fully comfortable to promote companies the way it is proposed 
here, just a single click from the homepage. We already throw around names of 
lot's of companies on the homepage directly and we (the Apache org) need to 
make sure to not present us as a collaboration between those, but as a 
commercially independent organization. 

My suggestion for a compromise would be to add a "Professional Services" 
section at the bottom of the "Community" page and list companies in order of 
number of contributions (patches). We can phrase it like e.g. "the following 
companies are actively contributing to Apache Cassandra as part of the 
community and may also be able to offer professional support", or something 
like that. But just list and link them, without logos. Short line of text might 
be acceptable. But we should present them as part of the community, that's my 
main point here.
