Packt Publishing has announced their 2010 Open Source Awards. This is the fifth year for the awards, which started life as the Open Source CMS Awards, so I strongly encourage everyone to participate by voting for your favorite open source applications.

The current phase of the awards is the nominations phase, and you can see all the categories and make your nominations here. Nominations are open until September 17, then voting runs September 27 – November 5, and the winners are announced on November 15.

Particularly in the CMS category CFML can make a really strong showing if as many people as possible nominate Mura as best Open Source CMS. I’ve used a lot of CMSes in my time and in my opinion Mura stands right up there with better-known solutions such as Drupal or Joomla, so let’s get Mura on everyone’s radar!
