------------------------------------
Summary: Remove company logos from phoenix home (landing) page
Key: PHOENIX-6532
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-6532
Project: Phoenix
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Istvan Toth
>From a recent email from ASF:
{quote}V-a. Website branding compliance
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.
WHY: the ASF is strictly vendor-neutral. Listing company names and/or logos on
a project's home page is disallowed as it can imply "ownership" or preferred
status or otherwise imbalanced relationship. Whether this is the case or not,
it is not acceptable. The policy is the same as "thanking" companies for their
support of a project http://apache.org/foundation/marks/linking#projectthanks
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.
There are different ways you can recognize organizations that are Powered By
Apache (YourProjectName) --here are some good examples:
1) Full logo -- Airflow -- http://airflow.apache.org/use-cases/
2) Shown with screenshots -- Flex --
http://flex.apache.org/community-showcase.html
3) Named list -- CloudStack -- http://cloudstack.apache.org/users.html{quote}
