Packt Publishing has anounced the winners in the 2008 Most Promising Open Source CMS category of their annual competition.  Silverstripe and CMS Made Simple took home first and second place.  We are happy to report that MiaCMS came in 3rd place overall tied with another terrific Content Management System named ImpressCMS.  We wanted to take a moment and say thank you to the community that helped us achieve this wonderful award.  MiaCMS is still less than 1 year old and we are delighted to see the open source community embracing it this quickly.  The team is working very hard on the project and it is times like these that make it worth all the effort.  Thanks again and we look forward to a very bright future for the project and a close partnership with our community.

We would also like to thank Packt Publishing for holding this important competition, the prize money that have awarded the project, and their support of the open source movement in general.  The MiaCMS team will be reinvesting all of our prize money right back into the project itself.

Last, but not least the team would alot like to extend our congratulations to our very own Chad Auld for being named in Packt Publishing's 2008 list of "Most Valued People from Open Source Content Management Systems".
