Kaltura (Alert: What’s Coming In Open Source CMS In 2010
Monday, December 21st, 2009Normally in this space we look back over the current month and forward into the next month at what the various open source CMS projects are up to. But rather than blindly putting out an update for January, we thought we’d look farther ahead into what everyone wants to accomplish throughout next year.

What’s a Flutter with Drupal Start Up Buzzr?
Monday, November 16th, 2009
With all of the chatter about Drupal 7, it would have been easy to miss one or two Drupal-related announcements last April. One of those announcements dealt with Buzzr (news, site), a Lullabot (news, site)-spawned startup focused on bringing hosted Drupal solutions to the masses.

Drupal Wins First Inaugural Packt Hall of Fame Award
Thursday, November 12th, 2009
This week Packt (news, site) is announcing one new award winner a day. Already they’ve revealed that:
- Plone (news, site) won 2009 Best Other Open Source CMS
- Drupal (news, site) won Best Open Source PHP CMS
- ImpressCMS (news, site) won 2009 Most Promising Open Source CMS
Today’s category is the 2009 Open Source CMS Hall of Fame. Starting with 2009, Best Overall Open Source CMS winners are no longer eligible to win this category (though Packt has not definitively stated whether this policy is just for this year or indefinitely).
Instead, all previous Best Overall winners (Joomla! in 2006, and Drupal in 2007 and 2008) now compete in the Hall of Fame category.
Speaking of winners, the winner of the first inaugural Packt Hall of Fame Award is Drupal. The Drupal project receives a prize of US$ 4,000 with this win. Second place is (obviously) Joomla!, which receives US$ 2,000.
In addition to this main award, there are two new separate specialty sub-awards:
- The Drupal Award, given to Zen for the Best Drupal Theme, and Views for the Best Drupal Module
- The Joomla! Award, given to Affinity for the best Joomla! theme, and noixACL for Best Joomla! extension
Tomorrow Packt announces the final prize, that of 2009 Best Overall Open Source CMS.

It’s not easy being popular. You live under the specter of something new breathing down your neck, waiting to take your spot in the limelight. Yes, we know all about it.
But seriously, in the content management world uncool means stale, broken, or worse, irrelevant. Fortunately for Drupal (news, site), the much discussed version 7 release is looking strong. It’ll keep its cool we reckon and in the process it’s shaping up to further enter the mainstream. Here are the key changes to note.
