Open Source CMS Awards 2009: My favorite Winner is…
Last week Packt has announced that Drupal has won both the best open source PHP CMS Category and the Hall of Fame new category. Having been one of the judges for the first category, I wish to share some thoughts about my number 1, 2 and 3.

As a long-time Joomla! user turned WP-convert, my feeling is that this is simply a recognition of what WP users have already known. I’m glad I finally made the switch. Congratulations.

As a project manager who loves WordPress, I often get asked why is it the right CMS to use. At the end of the day it comes down to preference. Preference of the client and developer.
However, at a meetup in San Diego recently on the discussion of what CMS to use, the leader of the discussion said the Open Source CMS matrix was a good place to get a comparison. The reality is that it is not a good source of information. The version of WP they are using for the comparison is 2.2.1 when the most recent is 2.9.1. Anyone who has worked with WP knows the improvements made between these versions are astounding and the main reason why WP just won the Best Open Source CMS in 2009.
Great post on how to view a comparison.

Hi Chris,
you are definitely right saying that is a matter of preference, and public directories maybe outdated and have to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Beyond personal preferences a number of metrics can help customers go open source, though. Recently I have been analyzing 4 open source selection methodologies, studying findings from 8 different research projects and assessing over 60 tools useful to measure software quality and other indicators, eventually creating a system for fast open source software selection. I’ll soon share some charts and reports comparing open source CMS and other open source applications walking through the system’s highlights, stay tuned!

Open Source Business Strategy: OpenERP and Long Term Sustainability
Matt Asay says that creating an open-source software able to attract significant outside development contributions is difficult, yet important. Quid pro quo paradigms, as Stephane Croisier calls them, can foster more sustainable open source communities. Both Jahia and OpenERP found their way to foster external participations.
