I like this idea very much. Thanks a lot for initiating this!
I have added a list of additional institutes that come to my mind. Maybe we could brainstorm whether the list is complete and then add their logos etc.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I added logos to the list with a little creativity. Note, that I used my proposed HTML snippet to have logos and link nicely in a single line, which seems not to be supported by markdown, as far as I understood... |
Thank you very much for your suggestions. We are currently discussing internally how to best proceed with this, since there are a number of implications to consider. We (I) will then get back to you! |
Several of recently approved major pull-request for Trixi.jl, e.g., gmsh-support, parabolic AMR and improved tutorials, were issued from developers who were significantly supported by my institute (Lab for Applied and Computational Mathematics) at RWTH Aachen University.
With this pull request I suggest to add a section Institutional Support in the main readme.md of Trixi with a list of individual institutes, including a name, a logo and a link.
I initialized this list with the Numerical Simulation Group at Univ Cologne and my institute, and I am sure many more places deserve to be listed there, possibly in a meaningful order. This should be decided and kept updated by the developers. The list should be mirrored in the documentation, but I don't know how to do this.
Some background thoughts: I am very much in favor of open code and community software, but also believe that the way how code contributions are integrated into the scientific workflow is still insufficient. Author affiliations for individual commits and pull requests should become standard like in scientific papers. It is not sufficient to provide affiliations in the author profiles or author lists, because those may change. Past commits should keep their affiliations like past publlications do.
Until such a functionality is provided by github/git, I recommend to include the institutional support list in order to acknowledge the good-will of the places that let their people contribute to community software like Trixi.
