Vote for DotNetNuke
Now that Obama has settled into the White House, it’s time to pledge your allegiance to DotNetNuke. First up, Microsoft Canada’s Ignite IT Awards, which according to Shaun Walker “are designed to recognize and reward the efforts of Canadian IT Professionals and Software Developers who have a great story and have made a difference in the software industry using Microsoft technology.” You may vote once a day through the end of March.
Next up is the 2009 asp.netPRO Readers Choice Award, the annual polling of asp.netPRO Magazine readers. DNN “qualified” for the content management system and community resource categories for the first time this year due to the release of DNN Professional Edition. Voting is open until April 25, 2009.
