Well, actually...
Most of those logos were added in 2011. Pyramid 1.0 had just been
released, and many of those companies might not have migrated from
earlier iterations of Pyramid, including Pylons and BFG. The logos
were added for all Pylons Project projects, including Pylons the web
framework, so it would be more accurate to say, "All of these
companies used Pylons Project subprojects at some time, and the most
likely web framework that they were using was Pylons."
Which brings up another point about Pyramid and other Pylons Projects
projects: we suck at marketing the awesome products because we spend
all our time writing code instead. Of course, that's a sweeping
generalization, yet not inaccurate.
Several marketing efforts have been under perpetual development, but
not deployed, including the following.
A new Pyramid wiki page to list companies and organizations that use
Pyramid.

I think it would be great to also have a list of companies that offer
consulting services with knowledge of Pyramid. I was recently convincing
a client to develop a Pyramid-based solution, and they wanted assurance
that there are other consultants available who know the framework if I
get hit by a bus. I was able to convince them that yes there are (and
that maybe they should care as much about the availability of good
Python developers agnostic of framework), but it would have been easier
to just point them at a list.

What are the blockers for getting some of these efforts launched?
