A new year, and a new Packt Publishing Open Source Awards. Formerly known as the Open Source CMS Award, this 2010 edition has an enlarged number of categories. As of this year's edition, there are now also non-CMS categories that can compete.

ImpressCMS has grown up now, and can't compete anymore in the 'most promising cms' category, which we won in 2009. Please help ImpressCMS to be part of the final contestants in the Open Source CMS category.

Cast your vote to nominate ImpressCMS in the category 'Open Source CMS' here at Packt Publishing.

ImpressCMS Bridging Gaps in Technology
ImpressCMS is partnering with several other open source applications in sponsoring the 2nd "Make Web Not War" Conference (http://www.webnotwar.ca/) in Montreal, Quebec on May 27, 2010.

Make Web Not War (MWNW) is Canada's cross-platform conference, showcasing the latest techniques and technologies available to the ever-evolving web community. MWNW is about bridging the gap between different platforms, communities and developers of all trades and backgrounds.

ImpressCMS will also be featured as part of the Ignite Presentations (http://www.webnotwar.ca/schedule/) - demos of 6 web applications - alongside TikiWiki (http://www.tikiwiki.org). Marc-Andre Lanciault, one of the initiators and the lead developer for ImpressCMS, will be attending the conference and demonstrating the power and flexibility of ImpressCMS.
