Some care need to be taken in doing this from a branding perspective and ASF 
policy view. In general this MUST NOT be on the home page.

From a recent email that was sent out:

WHY: the ASF is strictly vendor-neutral. Listing company names and/or logos on 
a project's home page is disallowed as it can imply "ownership" or preferred 
status or otherwise imbalanced relationship. Whether this is the case or not, 
it is not acceptable. The policy is the same as "thanking" companies for their 
support of a project http://apache.org/foundation/marks/linking#projectthanks 
<http://apache.org/foundation/marks/linking#projectthanks>

WHAT WE'RE NOT SAYING: please don't misunderstand the "no third party logos on 
your homepage" policy. We *love* projects promoting their users! Many of you 
have commented that we always include user organizations in our press releases 
--one of the first things that members of the media and analyst community ask 
is, "who uses you?". We're proud of all our projects and your collective 
efforts: we want to ensure that everyone is being fairly represented and 
considered.

I believe a number of project and not complying with the above.

Kind Regards,
Justin
