I agree with pushing this to the front page of CloudStack.apache.org<http://CloudStack.apache.org>(maybe linking back to a wiki page).
The banner that is on Basho.com<http://Basho.com> works well. It’s not obnoxious but refreshes a ton of logos and you could make it inclusive of all users who choose to go public. See http://basho.com/ Also on the point of the CloudStack.a.o home page, it really needs an update It’s looking a little bleak right now. The announcements box is empty and the huge logo is the only thing above the fold. I know Chip chipped in(I love puns) to redo the home page last year but I really think it could use a new refresh with logos and maybe some other information. Right now going to A.S.O isn’t a big confidence builder as a prospective. I don’t have the skills personally to update the crazy Apache CMS but I’d be glad to work with someone to do this or if someone has the time and needs the money. I’d be happy to help fund someone’s time to help do this at a bare minimum our home page should be updated soon probably some other areas too if we poked around. +1 for the idea of highlighting of complimentary technologies on c.a.o. too.

An example of another ASF project that highlights some of it's users is Mesos [1]. Hadoop has a large page on their wiki [2]. We put it on the wiki, with the idea that anyone could add themselves. This was in an attempt to be as neutral as possible. That said, since it now requires asking on dev@ for write access to the wiki, we could effectively do the same thing with the webpage. We could include a "how to get listed here" mailto: link that forwards to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. I think the thing is how to differentiate “prominent” users… That's the hard part, but I think that we can figure out how to do this in a way that rotates through logos... or links through to a big page with tons of logos... or something similar. I'd want to be careful about showing preference for one user or anther. As an aside, perhaps we should consider something similar for projects / products that "integrate with" CloudStack? -chip [1] http://mesos.apache.org/ [2] https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/PoweredBy
