Hi,
I would agree with Julian's position there and I think that this would further
promote acceptance in the industry.
After all, the field of automation protocols is a rather delicate area in which
trust is an essential point.
If this helps, I would also like to place my university institute or rather my
employer (my is such a big word :D ) as a user. But as Julian mentioned, I
would only accept any entry by PMC vote.
+1
Greetings
Mathi

Betreff: Re: Add a list of companies using PLC4X without links back?
Hi,
I think we have to differentiate.
If its just a "users" list or "powered by" list then its fine and PR is the way
to go!
Before we discussed about "companies that offer products / services around
PLC4X" which is a different thing. Here, I still am convinced that we should
always do it via PMC Vote to really ensure that no one "sneaks" in or someone
is embarrassed that he is not on the list or whatever.
But I am +1 here (and would ofc place our logo there and get one or two of
clients of us that now run solutions powered by PLC4X)

Hi folks,
I like the mode the Airflow folks are doing it ...
by not adding them manually, but only via PRs, I guess they are on the safe
side.
What do you think folks?
Should we just create such a page?
(I'm taking about the "who's using" list)
If we had some use-cases or success-stories, I'd also like to have
something like that, but not sure if companies are currently willing so share
stuff like that and just having 1-2 of them would probably be
counter-productive. We could start collecting them and add them to the
navigation as soon as we have a critical mass of stories.

Other projects have this as well:
https://spark.apache.org/powered-by.html
https://druid.apache.org/druid-powered
Of course, I agree with Łukasz that this should be done with the
consent of those companies. Probably best if done by those comapnies.
