Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-15600:
------------------------------------
[~dsmiley], please read the email to private
([https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r620ab14093ad5732de8df34c896669ee399679bbeca7afd516fcfbbc%40%3Cprivate.solr.apache.org%3E)]
to understand what the ASF policy is here. I'm quoting
{quote}WHAT WE'RE NOT SAYING: please don't misunderstand the "no third party
logos on your homepage" policy. We *love* projects promoting their users! Many
of you have commented that we always include user organizations in our press
releases --one of the first things that members of the media and analyst
community ask is, "who uses you?". We're proud of all our projects and your
collective efforts: we want to ensure that everyone is being fairly represented
and considered. Some projects that are in violation are recent graduates from
the Incubator and may not have ever been aware of this policy. Others are
long-standing TLPs with refreshed Websites: perhaps there are new contributors
who helped with the redesign and weren't aware. We understand that this action
has likely been done in error, but needs to be rectified. Your "Powered By"
listings can be on any page within your Project site but NOT the home page.
{quote}
So we are encouraged to promote users with logos and testimonials, just not on
the very front page of the project.
Personally I think logos make a good visual impression, and it would be even
better with actual quotes from users, but let's perhaps start by adding back
QA'ed logos in the carousel, and then we could consider a dedicated sub-page
for testimonials? On such a page we could also include videos from conferences
where users present their use cases - that is in itself a testimonial which is
already public.

> See email from ASF. Solr is in violation of a policy:
> {quote}IMPORTANT: PMCs who list "powered by" companies on their Project sites
> (organizations that are using your project --in their products/solutions or
> otherwise) MUST NOT BE DOING SO ON THE PROJECT HOME PAGE.{quote}
> The reason Solr has not been "detected" until now is that solr was a sub page
> of lucene.apache.org but now the page with the illegal logos is on the HOME
> PAGE of solr.apache.org :)
>
> It should be easy to just put the "powered by" section on a sub page instead
> of on the HOME page of our site.
>
> This should be done within September 2021.
