Twitter and Emails are good; Postcards are better

As a lead developer of Symfony, I need feedback. Symfony being an Open-Source project, there is no way I can know how many people are using it, who they are and what they do with it. That's fine and all, but sometimes, that would really help me to know the Symfony user base a bit more. Sure enough, I have some feedback via email and Twitter. Actually, I receive tons of emails every single day about Symfony and my other Open-Source projects (with a raising number of Git pull requests... keep them coming by the way). But unfortunately, most of them are from people complaining about something or asking me some more free stuff. I must admit that this is depressing.
During the Symfony Day conference last week, I suggested that people send me a postcard if they use Symfony. The idea is not mine, as Derick did the same a couple of years ago for XDebug.
So, if you use Symfony and enjoy it, consider sending me a postcard. Tell me why you are a Symfony user and what you do with it (if you're not comfortable with English, that's fine... I will also enjoy Japanese, Chinese, or Arabic postcards). You can send them to my personal address:
Fabien Potencier 5, allée des Rosiers 78670 Villennes-sur-seine FRANCE
or to Sensio:
Sensio Fabien Potencier 92-98, boulevard Victor Hugo 92115 Clichy FRANCE
And I have a dream that one day I will receive a postcard each time a new Symfony website is deployed to production.

Keep up the good work. We're moving the world forward, mon ami.
So, indirectly, you are responsible for those too! :) Anyway, a postcard from me will heading your way for sure.
Attendez vous à recevoir une quantité impressionante de carte postales !
Merci pour tout le travail fait avec Sensio Labs et symfony, il est vrai que l'on exprime jamais assez sa reconnaissance, mais soyez en sur, elle est réelle !
Thank you so much for Symfony. It changed so many things in the way I work. I wanna get better at using it. I'm discovering new things everyday and I'm always a little more amazed about the great work you all did on that project.
Trying to spread it in Japan right now!
keep up the good job !
you reaaly wanna be in trouble with the postman ?
