It's nice to see hard work, persistence, team effort, and collaboration pay off. This year three Packt Publishing awards went to Drupal. First, Earl Miles (merlinofchaos, father of Views) was honored as Most Valued Person for the Drupal project, a title he sure has earned. Then, on Wednesday, Packt announced that Drupal had won the award for Best PHP Based Open Source CMS. This comes with a $2,000 prize that the Drupal Association will be sure to put to good use. Now, today, Drupallers can smile happy because Drupal also won the Best Overall Open Source CMS category, along with $5,000 in prize money. Wow! Two years in a row for that one.
