Mambo (formerly named Mambo Open Source or MOS) is an open source content management system (CMS) for creating and managing websites through a simple web interface. It has attracted many users due to its ease of use. Mambo also includes more advanced features such as page caching to improve performance on busy sites, advanced templating techniques, and a fairly robust API. It can also automate many tasks such as web indexing for static pages. Mambo can provide RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, forums, polls, calendars, website searching, language internationalization, and other possibilities.

Mambo won the Best Free Software Project of the Year from UK magazine Linux Format in 2004, and the Best Open Source Solution award from the editors of LinuxWorld Magazine in 2005.

Mambo is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Joomla! started as a fork of Mambo version 4.5.2.
