 Packt Publishing (http://www.packtpub.com/) today (14 November) announced Joomla! as the the winner of the 2006 Open Source Content Management System Award (http://www.packtpub.com/award). With 16,000 votes for more than 70 different Open Source Content Management Systems nominated for the award, Joomla! was judged winner of the final. After eight weeks of voting from visitors to www.PacktPub.com and judges from The Open Source Collective, MySQL, the Eclipse Foundation, and CMSPros, Joomla! triumphed with the most votes, winning $5,000. Joomla! is the youngest CMS of the five finalists having originated by the then Mambo development team in August 2005. Joomla! was chosen due its ease of installation and use along with the active development and community that supports the project. Core team member Alex Kempkins said the award was a wonderful surprise. I would personally like to thank Packt for their contribution to the Joomlasphere — by publishing Joomla! guides and by running such a successful competition, he said.
