Sourcefabric took the occasion of their first ever Central American conference on July 15th 2011 to launch a new global theme contest. Designers worldwide are invited to submit themes for Newscoop, the open source CMS for news organisations. The contest is free to enter at contest.sourcefabric.org, where designers can download a sample theme and view the competition's guidelines. Newscoop uses a templating language called $gimme which works alongside CSS and HTML to enable designers to have complete control over the look and feel of the website.
