Cool. :)

From what I remember (it's been a while), for them to be official Case Studies
they need to give their official "ok" with being included.

It's just a form to sign by a "senior enough" person at the company, to make
sure there's no misunderstanding. Also, it's a good idea for us to really get
in contact with someone at the company that knows about the PG use, to get some
details for making public. (positive PR on both sides :>).

I'm not sure if we still have the forms around for doing this. I can dig them
up again (or remake them) if no-one else has them. :)
