You don’t have to vote in all categories; this year, I’ll be voting in three:

Open Source CMS Award

For this award, I’ll be voting for CMS Made Simple.

At work we use a variety of CMS depending on the client’s needs, amongst them Joomla!, Drupal and CMS Made Simple. CMSMS has an extremely smooth learning curve; we’ve seen time and time again that even the least technical people can use it with ease. We have never needed to give anyone a second training session on CMSMS! (If only we could say the same about Joomla! )

Most Promising Open Source Project

I’ll be voting for node.js for this one. We’re starting to see some really exciting and interesting demonstrations of the power of this framework, and I’ll be keenly watching its development.

Open Source JavaScript Libraries

I have to vote for jQuery for this one. It’s no exaggeration to say that jQuery has transformed the web; it has certainly transformed the way I write JavaScript, and it makes my life easier on a day to day basis.

These days I’m enjoying MooTools more and more, and I intend to use it for as many projects as I can, but I’m not quite there with it yet.
