There are of course many more companies using Buildroot, and we've discussed this during the last Buildroot Developers meeting: in the next version of the Buildroot website, we'll have a place to list companies/products using Buildroot. Regarding the poster itself, there are multiple reasons for choosing this example: * Google is a well-known company, and generally developers are "impressed" by what Google does. So having Google using Buildroot is "waouh". * The Buildroot code that Google uses is public and clearly associated to the Google Fiber project, which means that Google is OK with the people knowing that Buildroot is used. Many other companies that are using Buildroot are not so public with the fact that they use Buildroot.
