2010 Open Source Awards

August 24, 2010 · 4 Comments

Packt Publishing is taking nominations for their annual open source awards. Let's get some publicity for CFML by nominating something great from "our" world!

Nominations are open until September 17th and voting on the top five nominations in each category begins on September 27th. The categories are:

  • Open Source CMS - Mura would be a good nomination here!
  • Hall of Fame CMS (must be Joomla!, Drupal or WordPress since it has to be one that has won before)
  • Most Promising Open Source Project
  • Open Source E-Commerce Application
  • Open Source JavaScript Libraries
  • Open Source Graphics Software

    You may need to try a few times - Packt have been having problems with their web site today!

    I'm a little confused. It looks as though most of the categories are strictly for CMS', though the "Most Promising Open Source project" seems to be kind of ambiguous on the matter. Any idea one way or the other?

    I think ColdBox or FW/1 should be submitted... Great frameworks. How about Railo??

    @Adam, two categories are CMS (and the second one is restricted to the three listed). The rest have nothing to do with CMS's as far as I can see...

    @James, Railo seems like a candidate for "Most Promising Open Source Project" but remember that the audience for these awards is much, much broader than our little web community so there's not much point in nominating CFML-specific frameworks (but thank you for the vote of confidence in FW/1!).
