The Countdown is on for the Content Cup
July 21st, 2008 by Justin Ryan
Do you love content management? Really love it? Is your favorite CMS all you can think about? If so, then get ready, because the 2008 Open Source CMS Award race is out of the gate and headed for the backstretch.
This year's award, the third annual, broken up into the usual four categories — Most Promising Open Source CMS, Best Open Source PHP CMS, Best Other Open Source CMS, and Overall Best Open Source CMS — plus a new entry for 2008, Open Source CMS MVP. While the standard set are fairly self-explanatory, the newbie on the block is a bit more opaque; the MVP Award will go to an individual, as an acknowledgment of all the contributions made behind the scenes that don't get the recognition they deserve.
The contest, sponsored by Packt Publishing, boasts $20,000 in prizes, with a win, place, and show for each category — though the prize details for the MVP aren't immediately obvious. Nominations are already open for each category, so be sure to put in a good word for the CMS you love — and of course, for the people behind the scenes that keep it nice and shiny.

Email is one of the least private and least secure forms of communication, although few people realize this. MixMaster is one way to allow secure, anonymous communication even over the very public medium of email. This tutorial will get you started with MixMaster quickly and easily.

Feeling a bit like a Thermian? Never give up, never surrender! Someday, you could go from underdog to top dog. Just take a look at a few of the underdogs we highlight in this issue: Mutt, djbdns, Nginix, Gentoo, Xara and the program voted mostly likely to fail just a few years back—Firefox. If Firefox is not radical enough for you, check out Chef Marcel's column for some more alternatives. Having trouble mapping your program data to your relational database? If so, Rueven Lerner shows you some tricks in his At The Forge column.
Need to run GUI applications on your server in the next state? In his Paranoid Penguin column, Mick Bauer shows you how to do it securely.
