Open Source CMS Award by Packt Publishing
There is currently an abundance of high quality open source Content Management Systems available. Each lays claim to a dedicated team of developers and contributors working tirelessly to improve performance, design and accessibility, all so that it can be downloaded and implemented by its users, for free.
Ultimately, the most popular question to ask and seemingly most difficult to answer is simply, which one is the best? "We have been asked this question countless times" explains Damian Carvill, marketing manager at Packt, the company behind the award. "This is where the idea for an award came from" he reveals.
Packt is known as an enthusiastic supporter of Open Source and have been paying open source projects a percentage of its book sales for the last two years. "Packt subscribes to the belief that Open Source should be promoted, supported, and sustained whenever and however possible" says Carvill. “The launch of the Packt Open Source Content Management System Award is a further initiative designed to provide projects with sustainable revenues," he concludes.
Packt is currently looking for people to nominate their favourite Content Management System at www.PacktPub.com/Award
