List companies using Kubeflow Projects on the website
Ref: https://github.com/kubeflow/community/issues/833
Companies using Kubeflow projects should have the option to list themselves on the Kubeflow website, if they choose to do so.
Similar examples from other CNCF projects:
- Argo: https://argoproj.github.io/
- Istio: https://istio.io/
- Cilium: https://cilium.io/
We are looking for ideas and suggestions from UI/UX engineers how we can do it.

Hi, I’d love to work on as my first issue!
I’ve looked at how other CNCF projects (Argo, Istio, Cilium) display their "Trusted by" sections. Based on Kubeflow’s current homepage design, I think the best location for this section would be between the "Get Started" & "Contribute" buttons and the Down Arrow, ensuring it remains highly visible without distracting from the main CTA.
I personally like Argo’s approach to this and would love to implement something similar for Kubeflow.
Looking forward to feedback so I can get started!
I would actually put it on the main entrypoint as prominent as possible.
Lets add a trusted by thingy right under the what is kubeflow we need it to be catchy and prominent
I think we should probably do some mockups and discuss them as a community before having people spend lots of time making a specific PR.
What about something like this(followed from my idea), I could try to put it under "What is kubeflow" section
Under what is cubeflow would be a better option as white gives us options to add complex logos
usually people would love to see reviews rather than just names if we could add something like people and their reviews it'd be great
Yes, I agree with @thesuperzapper. Please feel free to propose your mockups and we can review them with Kubeflow Community.
I'd recommend just listing the names.
It's also easier to do and won't take months.
I suggest listing only company names/logos on the homepage and adding a link to a separate "Case Studies" page for users to explore detailed use cases (maybe a blog or youtube video from them?). This approach is similar to how Istio presents its adopters: https://istio.io/latest/about/case-studies/.
Once https://github.com/kubeflow/website/pull/3981 is merged, we will also need to have the logos look OK in the dark mode version of the site.
Also, please remember that the logos are often trademarks, so we need to seek the owner's express content to include a logo on the page. Many organizations are concerned with appearing to endorse/support something, so we might need to include a disclaimer saying that they are only a "user" to get some onboard.
We also need to be careful not to create non-official versions of logos (e.g. an inverted version for dark mode), as companies often disallow that kind of usage of their trademark.
Once we figure those legal things out, my current idea is to add a new "Featured Adopters" heading after "What is Kubeflow?", with a slowly horizontal-scrolling carousel of logos/names.
Or if its a lot of work to get specific companies to sign the required paperwork, we could just do what Kubernetes does and have cards for specific case-studies: https://kubernetes.io/

+1 (emphasizes my point about months)
Once we figure those legal things out, my current idea is to add a new "Featured Adopters" heading after "What is Kubeflow?", with a slowly horizontal-scrolling carousel of logos/names.
I'm just not sure it's worth the effort. In my experience, this is used during an open source framework evaluation and seeing a list of companies is really enough. The marginal benefit of the logos for teams doing the evaluation is low (but of course not zero).
Thanks for assigning me this task!
I've added the "Trusted by" section under "What is Kubeflow", would you prefer renaming it to "Featured Adopters"?

Also, what do you think about having a separate page for case studies? If we decide to go that route, where would be the best place to put it - maybe under "About" at Docs?
Lastly, I noticed we currently have only two companies listed in the community repo (DHL Data & Analytics and Telia). Should I include more companies from “Adopters of Individual Kubeflow Components”? Do I need to differentiate between them?
The actual companies to be included will need to be decided based on legal discussions between the CNCF and those companies, just because a company has put themselves on the adopters page does not mean that they have consented to be used on the front page of our website.
Let's just focus on thinking about how we would design/display the visual aspect of it right now.
E.g. how the carousel would look / how the logos would scroll. While you're making your mock-ups, just use big tech companies as examples: Google, Yahoo, Enron (lol).
I think, this is great @Dylannni! Thank you so much for providing the demo! Maybe for now we can redirect users to the ADOPTERS file in the kubeflow/community until we have case studies section: https://github.com/kubeflow/community/blob/master/ADOPTERS.md
As we discussed on today's call, CNCF might be ok for us to list companies if they are already members of CNCF. @castrojo we are waiting for your to confirm.
Quick update - need your feedback!
Should I turn the logos on the front page into a carousel instead of keeping them static?
For the Case Studies section, should I add previews with comments, similar to Istio’s approach, or stick with the current simple list format in our docs?
Here's what I've got so far

@andreyvelich Thanks for the info! I'll redirect users to the ADOPTERS file when they click the bottom. Is this good enough to open a PR for review?
Is this good enough to open a PR for review?
yeah, that looks good. For the PR, please let's wait for @castrojo to confirm it from the CNCF side, so we can move forward.
Also a lil dbt we have videos by google demonstrating about kubeflow can we add them In out homepage under like a learn tab. As this aligns with the key thought behind add our users profiles to the website.
@SanthoshToorpu That's great! Could you share the link for the video here pls
No sure if its same video which @SanthoshToorpu is referring, but here is the YT playlist which I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTZArDgbIWw&list=PLIivdWyY5sqLS4lN75RPDEyBgTro_YX7x
Hey it's in kubeflow docs section in the website open it you'll see it. Btw great work on the ui @Dylannni
Hi @castrojo , I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to check in on the progress of the review. I’ve prepared all the other components, and ready to submit a PR once the companies are confirm. Please let me know if there’s anything I can assist to help move forward. Thanks!
Hi @Dylannni, sorry for the delay. Please can you open a PR in the website repo to add the companies ? We can find an agreement with CNCF on that PR. cc @chasecadet @castrojo
Hi @Dylannni, did you get a chance to convert your changes to the PR? We would love to have this ready before KubeCon starting next week. cc @chasecadet @castrojo
Hi @andreyvelich , not yet. It's been a bit of a long week. I've blocked out time tomorrow morning to work on it, and I'll have the PR ready by tomorrow evening at the latest.
