Hi Chris,
I think ist a good idea to model it as other projects do it BUT I don’t like
the way this is setup.
One thing we take very high at apache is the "two hats" principle.
Thus I dislike that companies list "all" their employees that are comitters /
pmcs like a "trophy", that feels un-apache-esque to me.
As you know probably better than myself at Apache we value the community and
also non-pmc or non-committer contributors and contributions.
And thus I think a company can also have enough achievement or value to be
listed without having a committer to present.
So I really object the name listing as this is too much "hat mixing" for me.

Hi all,
it seems we can rowspan in tables with asciidoc:

So I would suggest to rowspan the logo name and the description of
companies and to have the remaining columns one row per employee.

Hi Julian,
I had already sent an update ... I had initially just copied the text
from the adopters page ...
Well I thought that we would have multiple rows for multiple people
involved and for each specify their involvement ... not sure if we should have
a table in a table or similar.

LGTM.
Although I suggest some changes in the table:
- More important than a company description would be what they
offer (see e.g. Postgres Page:
https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/europe/)
- I would make it a bit smaler
- And Involvement level we should standardize a bit perhaps. You
wrote "PMC Member ". But what does that mean? The company? No. One employee?
Two?
- I would state "muliple Employees are PMC members" (which is also
true for cc).
WDYT?

Hi all,
I have just added a new page to the PLC4X website, however it’s
not yet linked in the navigation and therefore should remain invisible until
Google indexes this email ;-)
It will be available soon from here (As soon as Jenkins is
done):
https://plc4x.apache.org/users/commercial-support.html
What we have there is pretty inspired by the support page of
the Apache Royale project:
https://royale.apache.org/royale-commercial-support/
However I used some different wording and a different proposal
for a process to add entries.
I would suggest to use PRs as this way we can have the account
of the PR creator on-file in git-blame. Which might come in handy if there
should ever be problems.
We were told that in general everyone would be required to have
him/herself added to that list no matter their involvement with the project.
That’s why I decided to start with this in my proposal. I think with a column
on the level of involvement should separate the true contributors from the
others.
I think there were also voices that said that an alternative
would be a PMC vote, but with very strict rules to how this vote should be done
and all votes should have to be performed without any individual bias.
I asked the Royale project on how they dealt with entry
requests to that list … they sort of laughed as they didn’t seem to really get
any requests at all.
What’s your opinion on this … also the ASF’s opinion is greatly
appreciated as we don’t want to do anything that could harm the ASF.
So I would really like to do it the way I proposed it, but
that’s just my opinion … your other opinions are worth just as much (Well ok …
the ASF’s opinion will probably weigh more ;-) )
Chris
