WordPress wins “Best Open Source CMS Award for 2009″

2009-award-logo-114x60The book publisher Packt (pronounced Packed) have just announced “… that WordPress has won the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards.” This is the first time WordPress has won this Award.

Drupal, another CMS that I support, won the Best Open Source PHP CMS Category in the 2009 Open Source CMS Award. For this category there was a very close contest between the top three: Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla!

Whilst I would expect Drupal to be among the top three in this category, Wordress is in the top five for the first time. “The fact that it was outranked by Drupal by a very slight margin indicates how popular it has become with users as well as developers over the past year.”
