A panel of industry professionals at the LinuxWorld Australia conference in Sydney has named the Mambo Content Management System “Best Open Source Software Solution.” The award marks the third time the Mambo software has won the coveted award and brings the number of awards received in the last two years to six. Representatives of the event coordinators and sponsor Builder.com.au announced the award on 28 March. Judging was done by a panel of industry experts.

Mambo Communities extends our heartfelt congratulations to the entire Mambo developer team for this magnificent win at Linuxworld Expo Australia. This is the first event for Linuxworld Australia and it is perfect that Mambo won this award in it's home country.

At the close of 2005, the Mambo Foundation posed to the visitors of the MamboServer site a survey designed to learn more about the users and how they use Mambo.

The 19 multiple choice questions contained in the survey focused on the demographics of the user base, the uses they make of Mambo, and their feedback on the pros and cons of the system. In the 5 weeks the survey was posted on the sites, 776 users completed the survey questions.

We have accumulated the results, tabulated them and presented them for review in graphical form. Third party developers and service providers for the Mambo user base will find the results to be particularly interesting.

We thank everyone who took the time to complete the survey - your contributions will translate into a better Mambo in future versions.
