Mambo Makes Its Mark in Content Management
Mambo's on a roll. After dancing away with two awards at the recent Linux World conference, in the process beating out industry titans like Sun, IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) for top honours as the Best of Show, the popular content management was just named Best Free Software of 2004 by Linux Format magazine.
Coming on the heels of a tumultuous year that saw the development team survive the loss of its project director and a long and soul-numbing SCO-type assault, the recent accolades must be sweet music to Mambo's ears.
