> Hi Dries
>
> I also thought I'd get in touch to let you know that we launched a new
> Award at Packt for open source Content Management Systems today.  
> This is
> designed to reward an open source CMS that has been voted for by a  
> panel
> of judges and visitors to PacktPub.com. The Award is open for all open
> source Content Management Systems to enter and offers a first prize of
> $5,000 with first runner-up receiving $3,000 and second runner up  
> $2,000.
>
> Nominations, which is the first stage of the Award, begin on Monday 24
> July. We are looking for people to put forward nominations for their
> favourite open source CMS. The five with the most nominations will  
> then be
> put forward to the final voting stage. A panel of judges will then  
> vote
> for their top three from the final five. As well as votes from the  
> judges,
> we are opening up the vote to the public, which will go towards the  
> final
> decision.
>
> The Award hub is located at www.packtpub.com/award - please take a  
> look
> for more information.
>
> This isn't designed as a popularity contest, which is why the final  
> five
> vote is largely down to a panel of judges. However, with the  
> nomination
> stage and final five vote open to the public, we are happy for you  
> to do
> some campaigning to drum up interest and increase nominations/votes  
> for
> the Award :)
>
> If you have any questions or would like some more information about  
> the
> Award, please let me know.

> Cheers
