This issue tracks getting a list of companies using Santa and getting their permission to add their name or logo in the README (and/or a page in the main docs).

As I've started to implement Santa internally I have wondered who else is using it, it can give assurance something is more widely adopted and makes the business case easier to justify. However working in the security software business, many organisations do not want to disclose the software they use.

As an alternative, have you considered collecting some anonymous statistics from Santa that could be displayed on the site? For example the total number of machines under management and the number of unique sync servers? If Santa were to send a hash of the machine's ID and the SyncbaseURL each time it started to some sort of webservice you could do this fairly safely and easily. An opt-out configuration key would be helpful.
