Nominations for
Packt Open Source Content Management System Award began a few days ago.
With a total prize of $20,000 (double last year’s prize), a new
Most Promising Open Source Content Management System category, and more and more users enjoying MODx we think 2007 is the year for MODx to win a prize! Since our first non-preview release occurred in October of 2005, we qualify for the Most Promising category, which we think is most appropriate.
First step is to
nominate MODx as Most Promising Open Source Content Management System! Nominations end August, 31 and voting begins September 10 (don’t worry we’ll remind you
).
Go ahead and
nominate MODx! It takes less than 30 seconds.
Of course, adding a link on your blog, your forum signature, your MODx websites couldn’t hurt either
The Packt Open Source Content Management System Award is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward an Open Source Content Management System (CMS) that has been selected by a panel of judges and visitors to www.PacktPub.com. Following on from the success of 2006, Packt has expanded the Award for 2007 with an increase in prize money and the addition of new categories.
The 2007 Award will continue to support open source Content Management Systems and in order to reward more than one project, Packt has developed new categories for a wider variety of CMS’s to benefit from. These are broken down into five different categories including the overall winner and the most promising Open Source CMS
* Overall Winner
* Most Promising Open Source CMS
* Best Open Source PHP CMS
* Best Other Open Source CMS
* Best Social Networking CMS
The first stage of the Award is nominations, which begin on July 16. This is open for visitors to www.PacktPub.com to submit their choice of Open Source Content Management System that they would like to go through to the final stage. The CMS’s that receive the most votes in their category will go through to the final stage, which starts in September.
