2008 will be the year of the open source CMS

March 4, 2008 By barrie@compassdesigns.net Leave a Comment

OK, so I’ll admit, I was the author ;), but I really do think we will see this happening this year:

In 2008 we will see open source CMS Web sites become mainstream.

There is a confluence between the development of CMSs (making them easier to use and more reliable) and the popularization of open source software (making it a more viable and acceptable option). People who want a Web site, whether for a blog about their kids, hard hitting news (both Drupal), voting for a candidate or to get some smack down (both Joomla) will choose a FOSS solution. A critical mass has been achieved of higher profile sites that have made it a credible option, as evidenced by a “Top Web Gadgets of 2007″ article from NPR.

What do you think?

The Skinny

I am an entrepreneur, web consultant, author and educator.

I have been involved in starting a K-12 School District, a Private High School, and three web tech companies. I also wrote one of the original and best selling books on Joomla.

And I like sailing with kids.
