Packt Publishing announcing CMS winners this week
Developers and users of five content management systems (CMS) have been anxiously waiting for Packt Publishing to announce the winner of their Packt Open Source CMS Award. Packt Publishing is expected to announce on Tuesday, November 14th, the top three CMS along with the winner.
The winning CMS will get US $5,000, the second will get US $3,000 and the third placed finalist will get US $2,000.
As I mentioned a couple months ago, the top five CMS were nominated by the public are all that remain eligible for the award. Those five CMS include:
I would expect that Packt Publishing will make announcement of the winner on their Open Source CMS Award page. Until then, I'll go out on a limb with my own prediction. I predict that Drupal, Joomla, and Plone will be listed by Packt's judges as the top three CMS for 2006. Whether I'm correct or not, I will likely comment on the outcome of the award here on my own blog.
Results have been announced
Link Change and Predictions
Robert and All, I also see that Joomla! got first place and Plone received third place. I wish I would have posted this message a few days earlier to see how others might have predicted the outcome of the contest. Personally, I thought it was going to be 1) Plone, 2) Drupal, and 3) Joomla! . No offense to the Joomla folks and I see I'll have to revisit that CMS especially with 1.5.
By the way I did change the links referencing to Packt Publishing to go to their site as I had not intended to refer it back to my site. I still haven't mastered "copy and paste".
Nice one Joomla! Well
Nice one Joomla!
Well deserved recognition for the best content management on the plant.
