I don't think we need to do that kind of diligence. If we have heard from someone who we have reasonable confidence works for the company, that should be enough. If a company asks us to, we can always remove mention from the site. I do think it would be wrong to use a logo without special permission from someone in authority, but companies don't have any special right to control information about their use of Boost.
Well, I'm not sure, but I think that many companies have some very strict policies about how their names are used, and even more their logos.
I use boost at work in my company. But I guess that if I told you to use this company name, without checking with the company lawers and the communication department, I would get into trouble.
What might happen is that many small companies would agree easily, but very few big companies, where administrative stuff is more "brazil-like". I'm not sure wether seing many name I've never heard of and no known name would be good or bad advertising. So I suggest that before getting such a page online, it would be good to wait until there are enough names, with some well knows ones.
[Brian Braatz Writes:] Yes. Some will have this problem. I sympathize. Allow me to offer up that the because Adobe has released a framework that sits on top of boost that this would help the issues you raise. Only the people who watch this list will KNOW that though. So if we had a products page, and we had a link to the adobe framework in addition to others, it might help speak to the problem of people not seeing boost as a viable path. Btw- I found the python link fascinating. An additional suggestion would be to have SITE MAP on boost.org. I keep seeing boost pages in these mails I never knew existed (the phyton projects page is one)
