The 2010 Open Source Award has launched

For the fifth year in a row, Packt has hosted one of the most interesting contests among open source content management systems: the Open Source Award. Only now, this competition applies to all open source projects, and not just CMS.
The competition is held to support, promote and develop open source projects - not only in PHP, but also in Python, Ruby, Perl, Java. The prize fund of the 2010 Award will be $ 24,000, new nominations have been added.
There should be domestic projects!

In 2009, the Open Source CMS Award in a bitter struggle with MODx and SilverStripe won WordPress. SilverStripe, winner in the nomination for the most promising CMS (2008), made a serious competition to the popular MODx system in the final of the competition.

Until 2010, the competition was held in the following categories:

• The most promising open source project (until 2010, the nomination was called "The Most Promising CMS") ( add project ) - the date of the first release less than two years of August 9, 2010;
• Best CMS in PHP;
• The best CMS in other languages ​​(not PHP);
• And, actually: The best CMS ( add project ).

In addition to these nominations, new ones have been announced:

• The best open source application for e-commerce ( add project );
• The best JavaScript library ( add project );
• Best open source graphics software ( add project ).

For CMS, who previously won the final of the competition, the competition will traditionally continue in the Hall of Fame category, let me remind you that Drupal, Joomla and WordPress got their place in the hall of fame. They do not need to be nominated. These CMS will not take part in the “general” competition, so MODx CMF has every chance. Although you can not discount projects such as SilverStripe and ImpressCMS (the most promising CMS of 2008 and 2009).
No major changes are foreseen among “non-PHP” projects: in the 2008-2009s, Plone (Zope / Python project) took the first place, which I personally am very happy with. I am well acquainted with both the project and the Russian-speaking community - I support as far as possible.
Results of previous years .
