,----[ Quote ]
| The researchers are saying the content 
| management market is set to explode in the

| CMS selection processes. Let's take a look 
| at details â some of them you may find 
| quite amusing.

How the U.S. funds open source abroad

,----[ Quote ]
| The U.S. continues to buy plenty of 
| proprietary software, but it's encouraging 
| that when it comes to international 
| development, the federal government 
| recognizes that open source pays better 
| long-term dividends than subsidies for the 
| export of proprietary software. Even more 
| encouraging, this practice appears to be 
| neither Democratic nor Republican in 
| origin.

Get out the Vote: 2009 Open Source CMS Award

,----[ Quote ]
| This award is often seen as a competition between open source CMS projects,
| however, I view the award as an opportunity to promote open source and
| content management to the masses. I also know many in the content management
| field that use these type of awards to help them decide which open source CMS
| projects should be on their radar too. While the winning open source projects
| do enjoy winning their share of the $24,000 in award money, I think the
| projects are more appreciative just knowing their users thought enough of
| their CMS to nominate them in the first place.

| Open source ECM technologies like Alfresco, Drupal, Liferay, Lucene, and many
| others, are now at or beyond their closed source equivalents. If you are a
| developer whoâs sick of the shackles closed source CMS places on you, why not
| suggest exploring open source alternatives?
