Hi all, yes I agree ... and I was currently just talking about companies "using" plc4x. As quite often I am asked: "do people use PLC4X" and I usually say: "sure quite a lot, unfortunately I can't tell you who" ... so if we had such a list, we would have something to refer to.
And yes ... let's discuss "products and services" separately ... here always a vote on the PLC should be required.

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 ________________________________ Von: Julian Feinauer <[email protected]> Gesendet: Donnerstag, 30.

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) Julian Am 30.04.20, 21:08 schrieb "Christofer Dutz" <[email protected]>: 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.

Probably best if done by those comapnies. T.
