I don't see a need for this. What additional information does this provide over what can be found via a quick google search?
My primary concern is that we are getting in the business of listing vendors in the project site which brings it's own complications without adding much additional value for users. In the spirit of being vendor neutral, I would try to avoid this as much as possible. So, my question to you is: 1. What value does additional of this page bring to the users of Apache Kafka? 2. When a new PR is submitted to add a vendor, what criteria do we have to decide whether to add them or not? If we keep a blanket criteria of accepting all PRs, then we may end up in a situation where the llink redirects to a phishing page or nefarious website. Hence, we might have to at least perform some basic due diligence which adds overhead to the resources of the community. -- Divij Vaidya On Wed, Jan 10, 2024 at 5:00 PM fpapon <fpa...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > > After starting a first thread on this topic ( > https://lists.apache.org/thread/kkox33rhtjcdr5zztq3lzj7c5s7k9wsr), I > would like to propose a PR: > > https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/pull/577 > > The purpose of this proposal is to help users to find support for sla, > training, consulting...whatever that is not provide by the community as, > like we can already see in many ASF projects, no commercial support is > provided by the foundation.
