We know Drupal is great and, of course, we're not the only ones. On Halloween, Packt Publishing announced Drupal as the overall winner of their annual open source CMS award - repeating the win from 2007.

The award is judged by both a panel of industry professionals as well as votes on the website.

Here's the blurb which mentions Joomla as #2 and DoNetNuke as #3:

Packt’s annual Open Source Content Management System (CMS) Award reached its climax today with the announcement that Drupal has won the Overall category, collecting a first prize of $5,000. Three months after it was launched and a staggering 20,000 votes later, Drupal finished ahead of Joomla! and DotNetNuke to retain the Award it won in 2007.

Packt includes the obligatory brief history of Drupal which you probably know, so instead ... here's a quote from Drupal Godfather Dries giving props to the community:

 "These awards are a testament to the valuable contributions from dedicated Drupal community members around the globe" said Buytaert in response to the news. "Working together, the Drupal community is building the future of the dynamic web so that anyone can quickly build great social publishing websites" he concluded.
