WASHINGTON, DC and GENEVA, SWITZERLAND -- (Marketwired) -- 10/09/13 -- Jahia, the Open Source vendor of new generation Java CMS solutions, today announces its first developer contest, for the creation of new modules for Jahia xCM. Modules can cover any type of topics and submitted modules will be judged by the Jahia Team. Modules can be of any size and complexity, can focus on pure front-end features as well as deep back-end extensions. The team will assess submissions both on innovation and quality, but also originality and interest for the whole Jahia Community.

The winners will be announced during a dedicated ceremony held in Paris in February 6th, 2014.

"This contest is a great opportunity for the vibrant Java developer ecosystem to discover the highly praised Jahia platform and for our community to get greater exposure of their achievements." says Elie Auvray, CEO Jahia Solutions Group SA.

A redesigned forge to ease the submission process

In order to submit their modules, the developers just need to upload them on the Jahia Forge. The entire Jahia community, including the Jahia Core team, is available to help contestants through the Jahia forum.

The forge has been redesigned to meet the current expectations of developers: seamless module submission for a wider visibility. The forge is now open to the entire community and anyone with a community account can upload its modules for anyone to test and use.

For each uploaded module, developers can add a description, the version of Jahia with which it works, screenshots, videos, release notes; etc. The forge also provide the developer with the ability to precisely indicate how complete is the module at the time of upload.

The Jahia Team will then test and review each module submitted to the contest.
