Hes, but as I understand it you are already doing that, so this should yield
result soon : )

Yeah ...
not sure this is not too much ... we should in general have this checked if
such a page would be in line with the ASF bylaws.

Hi,
I think we should list the companies with a short outline like, e.g.
postgres does it here:
https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/europe/
For codecentric one could write (I see no problem):
PLC4X was initially started as an internal project at codecentric and
open soure to the ASF. Christofer Dutz, the initiatior of PLC4X helps in his
daytime job clients with the implementation of Drivers and blab la blab la
And for us we could / would write something similar:
The beautiful, wise, intelligent and charismatic Julian and his
blalbalblablalbal
I think you get the point? : )

Hi Julian,
I think having links to commercial support offerings is a pretty
important thing for us to have.
If we have to allow anyone be listed there (even if they don't
contribute to the project) well that will be "the toad we have to swallow"
(Don't know how to translate this German saying to English).
Right now I see the industries worries of not being able to get
commercial support as being one of the most problematic things ... that was why
I put the "commercial support" thing on our landing page.
Would it be possible to mark companies who employ committers of the
project (but not which ones) with a "*" and an explanation?

Hey,
@Christofer Dutz you can also a general discuss about whether
or not we should do that.
I am mostly concerned with clear rules, if we do it.
But, in the end, its not granted, lets discuss it and if we
cant get an agreement decide it.

Hi Justin,
So in general it would be OK to have a list of links to
companies plc4x support pages?
I don't care about seeing the ties between persons and
companies.
Just not happy to have any company listed.
Chris

Betreff: Re: [DISCUSS] Guideline for "professional support"
Mentioning on Homepage
Hi,

commercial support on the (new) PLC4X Homepage.
> One Example where this is done is Apache Druid
(https://druid.apache.org/community/ see Getting Help).
I dislike the Druid example as it shows who the committers
are working for, that should not matter. Individuals contribute to Apache
projects not companies. Having links to those companies (next to the committer
name) when they may or may not be ASF sponsors is even worse.
Re commercial supped listing them is OK as long as all that
ask are listed and it not being seen as promoting or suggesting one over
another. It must be vendor neutral.
Thanks,
Justin
