Criteria for adding service providers on http://ofbiz.apache.org/ home page

[rajsaini]

Hi,

We have been providing OFBiz customizations and solutions for last three
years and have been contributing to OFBiz actively.

On OFBiz official site home page, there is a section for listing service
provider. What is the criteria to add the service provider name to this
place? Is it only for committers (or their companies) or other
contributors can also request to add their name?

Regards,

Raj

Hi Raj,
For this need to create account on confluence and go for edit home page
there all service provider listed and add your official information.

Thanks Brajesh. My question was more of policy. Are service providers
who do not have committers allowed to put their name of home page.

Thanks,

Raj

Also, I don't think the home page is maintained on Wiki. I see it is in
SVN /ofbiz/site.

Thanks,

I think this section is there for historic reasons and IMHO should be
removed.

Hence people will now that there are Service providers. The order is still questionnable though. But I believe commiters, then
contributors deserve a better place there. It's all about meritocracy after all.

In commit r924312, we have followed David's precedent and removed all HotWax Media links on the home page of OFBiz - mean to help ensure that the project is focused on the community and not the providers.  Here is a link to a new JIRA task that I am looking to commit along these lines - later today.  Here is the information:

1. Per Christian and Jacques' comment yesterday - Remove the individual Service Providers link - instead link to the service providers page.
2. Remove the Sponsorship area - since the hardware is all ASF now and everyone is contributing every day.
3. Remove any other blog posts that are not actual news or PR wire information.

Here is the JIRA task:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3560

Cheers,
Ruppert

PS I will also be looking for a number of new ways to spiff up the home page with new screenshots of projects, links to case studies (that we'll hopefully be able to pull together on the site), etc.  Looking forward to making this happen together.
