Vote for Drupal on SourceForge.net!

By nicholasthompson on 6 Jun 2008 at 12:10 UTC

SourceForge.Net is a site which strongly believes in Open Source and what it stands for, in much the same way as the Drupal Community. Every year they host a competition where their community votes for their favourite packages and this year is no different. After reading through the Program Information I cannot see any reason why we shouldn't try to get Drupal up there ("Any open source project of any kind can be nominated by anyone (yes, that means you!) to be a finalist in any category" - from their website).

On their site they say "This is for the prize" in regard to voting, however I'm not completely sure if the prize is simply winning or if there is some financial gain for the Drupal Association.

So, lets try to get Drupal nominated for an award on Sourceforge.Net...
http://sourceforge.net/community/cca08-nominate

Last years winner was the popular application, 7Zip. Come on guys, Drupal is MUCH better than 7Zip!!

Personally, out of all the categories listed, I have suggested best developer tool... Maybe we could win the Best Project category?!

Stop playing baby games - if you want to win a prize

hans59 commented 11 June 2008 at 08:01

i am a little bit confused. think you're gonna try to support drupal, winning a prize. I like the project very much - and i would like to vote. But i don't think you will succeed, when you don't channel the votes in a (1) category - the one you want to win. There are 12 categories to choose. What do you want your drupalers exactly to do???
